Precast Refractory and Fiber Products for the carbon/graphite industry from URC are made to withstand some of the toughest conditions in the industry. Specially designed to account for thermal expansion and support large loads, our Car Bottom Deck Shapes and Car Bottom Pier Blocks provide exceptional performance in extreme environments. When it comes to thermal and mechanical abuse, few components experience the drastic changes in temperature and wear and tear as Furnace Door Jambs and Lintels. With over 100 combined years of Refractory experience, we understand these needs and manufacture our Door Jambs and Lintels to perform under the most demanding circumstances. Offering many benefits over poured or brick hearths and furnace walls, our Precast Furnace Hearths and Furnace Wall Blocks have fewer joints, which presents a less labor-intensive installation, provides an extended service life and saves you valuable time and money.

$Sand, scale, and other debris can fill brick joints and monolithic refractory cracks, causing premature failure of not only the car deck, but often the furnace seal as well. Specially designed precast Car Bottom Deck Shapes can properly account for thermal expansion and also provide the strengths necessary to support even the largest of loads.

Rarely do precast shapes see such elevated hot-face temperatures coupled with ambient cold face temperatures. The thermal gradients seen by Doors, Jambs and Lintels put extreme stress on the refractory. In addition to volume stable materials, these pieces often need to stand up to mechanical abuse from product or mobile equipment. REFSOURCE has an impressive arsenal of products that excel in such tough applications. With over 100 combined years of refractory experience, we are able to recommend the optimium solution for your Furnace Door, Jambs and Lintels. When your refractory project demands the right materials and design, REFSOURCE is there to meet and exceed your expectations. Our Furnace Doors, Jambs and Lintels offer maximum value by extending service life in a cost-effective manner.

$Bricked Furnace Hearths contain multiple joints that can fill with sand, scale or other debris when cold, which then expand when the furnace is operational again. Poured Furnace Hearths often have different ceramic characteristics throughout due to drying from only one side (the hot face). Thermal and mechanical abuse will take its toll on all Furnace Hearths, ultimately causing failure. Precast Hearths have the benefits of exponentially fewer joints, coupled with a complete and controlled dry out. The properties of a Precast Furnace Hearth are superior to those either poured or bricked.

The labor intensive process of laying hundreds (if not thousands) of bricks consumes time and money. Large, precast, pre-dried refractory blocks/panels can outperform most other refractories thanks to increased densities and fewer joints. REFSOURCE has a history of working with many manufacturer's to provide Furnace Wall Blocks solutions that work. Furnace Wall Blocks are just one part of the total precast refractory solution we offer as a manufacturer.
