Protect the lining and reduce energy loss in iron ladles

With Skamol Clickboards you can quickly and safely insulate your steel ladle. Furthermore you can save energy costs and reduce CO₂-emission when using Skamol speciality insulation systems.

Therefore, we are able to say 'return of investment' (ROI) in less than 3 months with our clickboards.

Use our insulation systems in your steel ladle to avoid costly and dangerous accidents

In your steel ladle lining faulty, insulation can have both costly and dangerous consequences in form of steel break-throughs. Not only can this lead to a decrease in production and costly maintenance, it can also pose serious safety issues for the personnel.

Documented improvements in steel ladle productivity and safety with our insulation systems

Skamol offers our vermiculite insulating systems, VIP-12 HT and VIP-12 HS, as well as VIP-900. They serve as back-up insulation systems for steel ladles. By mounting Skamol’s speciality insulation systems it can help in:

• Protecting the working lining of the steel ladle, with their high compressive strength
• Reducing energy loss and lower the surface temperature of the steel shell
• Improving the durability of the ladle, thanks to reduced steel shell temperature
• Improving physical working environment due to lower surface temperature of the steel shell

Our speciality insulation systems are developed specifically to protect the working lining, providing a longer lifetime of the overall lining.  With our range of VIP boards, Skamol offers the optimal insulation system, whether it concerns insulation of lid, bottom or sidewalls of the steel ladle. The VIP boards range from exceptional strength to unrivalled insulation and high maximum service temperature. This enables us to provide the optimal speciality insulation system for all areas of the ladle.

Efficient and reliable insulation systems in steel ladles

The requirements for back-up insulation systems in steel ladles vary greatly. We continue to develop and improve our current speciality insulation systems to make sure that we always offer the optimal solution for our customers. Therefore, we offer to produce the VIP boards as standardized boards, as wedge-boards, and as click-boards. The click-boards combine five boards into one. The vertical slots make the boards adjust perfectly to the construction leaving no gaps, ensuring minimal thermal loss and minimizing the need for customization on site.

This is just one of our ways of helping our customers in reducing costs and time of relining, whilst maintain the highest possible production efficiency.

Our continuous effort to make a difference for our customers and become the preferred partner, is one of reasons why we have fully automated our production. We do this to guarantee that all speciality insulation systems are of a consistently high standard and ensure a quick response to requests and orders.
