Refractory Selection Guide for Cement Industry Applications

A complete range of refractories for the cement industry is offered by ANH Refractories Europe. These are “Intelligent Refractories” consisting of VERSAFLOW castables and VERSAGUN products, Ultra low cement castables/gun mixes, insulating and dense castables/gun mixes, plastic ramming mixes, rapid cure/rapid heat-up range, and fibre reinforced ceramic composites (F.R.C.C).

Some common operational problems observed in cement plant refractories are high abrasion that reduces lining thickness, heavy build up of alkalis that reduces output, high thermal load that softens refractories on account of high temperatures, high mechanical load that causes stresses in refractories, and high thermal shock that creates slabbing/spalling.
