Sintering & Process Furnaces
Refractory construction for sintering furnaces and crucible furnaces – special furnaces for sintering, melting and laboratory processes.
Refractory construction for Sintering & Process Furnaces
Sintering and process furnaces form a category of their own in refractory construction: whether a belt furnace for ore sintering or a crucible furnace for melting applications and laboratory use — every furnace type places specific demands on the refractory lining. SBS Refractory Service offers specialised refractory solutions for both plant types.
Sintering furnaces combine high temperatures with severe abrasive wear from the sinter feed. Crucible furnaces call for a precise material selection, matched to the particular metal being melted. In both cases you benefit from our decades of experience and our comprehensive material expertise.
Typical challenges
High abrasive wear from the sinter feed in the belt furnace
Chemical attack by the melt in the crucible furnace
Risk of crucible rupture calls for regular wall thickness measurement
Dust exposure and safety requirements at the sinter plant
