Project data
The task
The refractory lining showed wear at several points and required targeted repairs
The stirring mechanism had to be inspected and optimised to ensure an even melt
Stubborn deposits and slag residues had to be thoroughly removed
The work was intended to extend the overall service life of the furnace sustainably
The SBS approach
After arriving on site, our team first carried out a thorough cleaning of the furnace. All slag residues and deposits were removed so that the actual condition of the lining could be assessed.
The damaged areas of the lining were professionally repaired and full-surface maintenance gunning was applied to extend the service life sustainably. The stirring mechanism was inspected and optimised.
Once all work was complete, the furnace was handed over to the customer – with its functionality secured and efficiency significantly improved.
