Melting
Tower

In aluminium foundry plants, melting towers often have problems with corundum regrowth. It is a serious problem that can lead to wear, loss of energy efficiency and destruction of the lining.

To minimise this, Insertec has developed a wide range of refractory solutions including castables and precast shapes (nose Beam, impact area…).

Precast shapes

Regrowth of corundum = destruction of the lining.

Wear and loss of energy efficiency. Melting Tower with precast shapes (load nose and impact blocks) managed to improve these losses.
