Refractory
Keeping industry moving. Refractory materials withstand extreme temperatures in steel production, blast furnaces, and coke batteries, operating continuously 24/7. They ensure facility safety and uninterrupted operation, with 70% used in the steel industry alone.
KAEFER specialises in minimising disruptions by partially shutting down areas for refractory application, repair, and replacement. We use advanced materials and processes to optimise performance and prevent facility shutdowns. Our innovative techniques, such as complex thermal control in coke batteries, extend component life by 10-15 years, ensuring continuous operation.
