The coil does the work. The lining holds it.

Furnace over, ladle full.
Next heat
Back upright. The lining is intact, and ready to go again.
Stylised. Your process, in section. The lining is the part in orange.

Install talked through

First firing on your floor
The sintered face forms during your start-up firing. We answer the phone when it matters.
Why foundries stay
The lining is the smallest line on a melt shop budget. Until it fails.
A lining failure stops the whole foundry. That is why our customers buy on spec and service, not price. We know the grades, we know the furnaces they go into, and we answer the phone.
