Our insulation systems reduce the costly refractory re-linings in steel tundishes

Tundishes are often connected with high steel shell temperatures and maintaining a stable temperature is crucial in this stage of the production. Combined with the constant wear on the lining from the continuous flow of hot steel, tundish relinings are often frequent and costly.

SkamoSteel products:

  • SkamoSteel V-1100 (600)
  • SkamoSteel V-1100 (700)
  • SkamoSteel Vip 900
  • SkamoSteel Vip 12 HS
  • SkamoSteel Vip 12 HT

Reduce thermal loss and stabilize temperature in steel tundishes with blocks and boards

Back-up insulation systems must be able to resist the high compressive force of the tundish refractory. Skamol offers a wide range of vermiculite boards and moler bricks to overcome the various challenges of continuous caster tundishes. Some of the common benefits include:

  • Increased product quality, thanks to excellent insulating properties and temperature stabilization
  • Reduced maintenance costs of the tundish
  • Reduced steel shell temperature
  • Improved working environment around the tundish due to reduced steel shell temperature

Skamol offers a wide range of vermiculite boards and moler bricks to overcome the various challenges of continuous caster tundishes. Our vermiculite insulating boards, SkamoSteel V-1100 (600), SkamoSteel V-1100 (700), SkamoSteel Vip 900 and SkamoSteel Vip 12 HS, are all capable of withstanding the extreme conditions inside the tundish, helping to optimize production conditions

Our broad portfolio of steel tundish insulation products guarantee that many aspects of production can be covered by one or more of our insulating products.

Optimize tundish efficiency with our insulation systems – now and in the future

We constantly strive to be the closest partner for the iron and steel industry. Therefore, we continue to develop and improve our materials in cooperation with industry leaders. Our tundish insulation systems can be delivered as wedge- and click-boards to further bring down mounting and relining time. The click-boards combine five boards into one. The vertical slots make the boards adjust perfectly to the construction leaving no gaps, minimizing the need for on-site customisation and ensuring minimal thermal loss.

Skamol has specialized in helping our customers minimize downtime by guaranteeing a reliable supply through our automated production facilities, and our global delivery network.
