Choosing the right material, standardising processes, using automated systems...: how refractory can help foundries with energy savings.

Fast drying and high refractoriness: at the end of October, we lined a 1,2 ton steel ladle with FAST ON 90

Success story in the aluminium foundry sector with a 43% recovery of the waste heat stream from a heat treatment furnace.

INSESTRONG®, a trademarked material that is proving successful in a variety of applications and sectors.

The journey starts at ALUMINIUM 2022 and looks set to be a fascinating one: will you join us?

We are waiting for you next September 27, 28 and 29 at the Exhibition Center Düsseldorf (Germany). Stand: 6HO6

We know how important the metallurgical process is, the addition of alloying agents is the master formula. In different projects we have included an automatic alloying system with the capacity to alloy 15 tonnes of primary aluminium.

INSERTEC has again manufactured and installed a large prefabricated part (12 tonnes) in SIFCA technology to act as a partition wall between the main chamber and the charging shaft of a melting reverberatory furnace.

Decarbonisation, rising costs, electric vehicle boom, green hydrogen, circular economy: 5 energy trends that will shape the industry in the coming months (infographic)

Refractory castable based on alumina, FOSINCAST 90 presents special properties that allow a fast setting time thanks to its special bonding system without refractory cement. It also acts as a barrier against chemical attacks.

Paval's refining prototype has reached the Refinal production committed for the first sintering campaign that will take place during the month of August.

The proposed Rotary-hearth technology for solution and artificial ageing processes is operating successfully in most of automotive engine manufacturing plants.

On 27 April last, the 4th monitoring visit of LIFE BAUXAL II took place at the BEFESA-Valladolid facilities. After reviewing the scope and degree of execution of the project and the next actions, we saw the refinery prototype in operation.

Vibration is one of the most important points in the lining of coreless induction furnaces: the material has to be well compacted for maximum performance. Therefore, we have been working on an efficient, fast and reproducible vibration solution: AVS.

REFINAL agglomeration process establishes along with the sintering process the basis to obtain critical properties of the future BAUXAL grains such as density and porosity.

In October 2021, we tested the INSESTRONG 45 SC in one of the largest Brazilian copper foundry: in February 2022, the customer reported no wear.

Specially designed for cleaning and skimming operations in melting towers. Its robotic arm tears the wall and repairs it, avoiding the appearance of corundum.

ALULOC AP81SR, one of our latest developments in the Al industry. This non-wetting concrete maintains excellent non-wetting properties at high temperatures.

On 3, 4 and 5 March, Istanbul hosted one of the most eagerly awaited events in the sector: AluExpo 2022. Balance of our participation

The impeller is placed in the sidewell, the change of this part often creates a problem, it is a process that can take a long time and sometimes the part ends up breaking.
