UltraBloc Preheater Systems

REFSOURCE UltraBloc Custom Engineered Panels combine the thermal benefits of ceramic fiber with the labor savings of a modular prefabricated design. UltraBloc Panels are produced using various grades of ceramic fiber materials specifically designed to meet a customer's unique application. Using the "spun" process, the fibers yield long, flexible and have high-tensile strength for maximum durability. Temperature grades of fiber used can range up to 3000ºF for the most extreme applications.

UltraBloc Panels are custom engineered per the customer's specific application. Every panel is designed to minimize joints in the ceramic fiber lining and maximize the compression between the fiber layers. This results in yields of densities of a minimum 12 pounds per cubic foot. Another benefit is that the ceramic fiber chosen is based upon temperature limits for each application to insure maximum life and performance.

UltraBloc Features

• Engineered Shape
  Custom engineered to customers’ spec by REFSOURCE... including drawings.
• Customized Lining
