Refractory construction for Foundry Furnaces

Foundries are among the most demanding operating environments for refractory materials: extreme temperatures, aggressive slags and permanent contact with liquid metal push the furnace lining to its limits. SBS Refractory Service is your specialist partner for all refractory work on foundry melting furnaces and cupola furnaces.

Whether an induction melting furnace for ferrous and non-ferrous metals or a classic cupola furnace for cast iron production — our teams have mastered the specific requirements of every furnace type. We select materials that are matched precisely to the metal being melted, the slag chemistry and the operating conditions.

Minimum shutdown times are decisive in foundries. That is why we plan our assignments in close coordination with your production schedule and guarantee execution on time — throughout Germany.

Typical challenges

01

Extreme thermal loading from metal temperatures above 1,500 °C

02

Chemical attack on the lining by aggressive slags

03

Mechanical wear from charging and tapping operations

04

Short maintenance windows call for efficient work sequences
