Refractory Lining Performance Can Be Enhanced With Precast Shapes

Even the greatest refractory material in the world can give poor performance in the field if adequate care is not taken to insure proper water addition, mixing, and initial bake out. Because TFL's precast shapes are manufactured under exacting conditions, the physical properties of the refractory material are optimized, along with performance.

The use of precast shape technology can greatly enhance the performance of refractory linings in your equipment. TFL is a leader in developing applications for pre-cast shapes. We can custom design a shape to fit your application.

TFL's precast shape manufacturing facility is equipped with a fully automated mixing station which includes a digitally-controlled water meter and mix time alarm. Variable-speed vibration tables allow for proper placement of refractory materials

After casting, our shapes are cured and then fired to specification in our digitally-controlled furnace. Adequate and controlled initial dryout plays a major role in the development of physical properties of a refractory material. This is a key item often overlooked in field-installed linings.

Precast shapes also offer the added benefit from ease of installation and shortened repair times. Replacment parts may be kept on hand for quick replacement by your maintenance staff. Also, repairs are isolated - standard shapes mean replacement can be confined to the worn area, eliminating costly, time-consuming tear-out.
