Troughs and Launders
Rex Materials' can use your existing steel in some cases to turn your launder into a High-Performance Metal Delivery System utilizing Pyroform™ , FUSiO2N™ SL or PYROLITE® Our refractory technologies may allow producers to eliminate launder pre-heating, avoid the need to "super-heat” the metal in in-line equipment, and most importantly, reduce holding furnace temperatures by as much as 122°F/50°C (or more in very long launders and/or low flow applications). Rex Materials' FUSiO2N SL precast refractory launders are extremely abrasion resistant. Due to its superior thermal shock resistance and high modulus of rupture, FUSiO2N SL far outlasts standard fused silica materials in launder applications.
The top metal casting companies in the world demand the best. That's why they choose Pyroform HP™, the leading refractory, for use in their launders and other metal delivery systems.
Because of its thermal insulating properties and durability, Pyroform HP is the only refractory material specified by Wagstaff for their billet casting systems and LaundAir low-warpage ingot casting launders. Rex Materials' High-Performance Metal Delivery System utilizing Pyroform HP or PYROLITE refractory technologies allow producers to eliminate launder pre-heating, avoid the need to "super-heat" the metal in in-line equipment and, most importantly, reduce holding furnace temperatures by as much as 50°C.
Select Pyroform HP for superior thermal performance and exceptional value.
When your process calls for superior wear and durability, FUSiO2N SL preformed fused silica shapes are the ones to choose. FUSiO2N SL launders shapes are precision cast into a wide variety of sizes and shapes, from small and intricate to extremely large - even shapes with complex internal features, typically without the need for costly machining.
FUSiO2N SL preformed shapes provide superior wear resistance in your most critical high flow/high velocity applications. In addition, its excellent thermal shock resistance and thermal insulation make FUSiO2N SL ideal for molten metal handling.
Select FUSiO2N SL for superior wear performance and exceptional properties.
