Melting chamber overhaul in Austria
Melting chamber in Austria overhauled with targeted measures
Initial situation
A customer in Austria commissioned SBS Refractory Service with the overhaul of a melting chamber on an aluminium furnace. The side walls showed local damage and the floor had lost level through continuous operation. To maintain production capability, a prompt and coordinated repair was required.
Scope of services
- On-site condition assessment of the damaged areas
- Partial repair of the side walls to restore the chamber structure
- Pour-on process on the floor to restore the target level
- Quality control and function test
- Documentation and handover to the operator
Project data
The task
Several damaged areas – side walls and floor – each required specific repair methods
The partial repair of the side walls had to be executed in a way that preserved the structure and stability of the entire chamber
A pour-on process was needed on the floor to restore the original level precisely
As an international assignment, the project required the coordination of material and personnel across national borders
The SBS approach
The overhaul was carried out in coordinated steps. First, the damaged areas of the side walls were repaired in a targeted manner. The partial repair allowed us to restore the structure and stability of the chamber efficiently, without completely replacing the walls.
The floor of the melting chamber was brought back to the required level using a precise pour-on process. This method ensures even heat distribution and protects the brick lining against further erosion.
Once all measures were complete, the plant could be returned to service quickly and reliably. The customer confirmed the high quality of the work and the professional cooperation.
