Technico-economic refractory concrete concepts
for the cement industry
Topics
• Part 2: Product philosophy for the application in the preheater and calciner
• Part 3: Product philosophy for the application in the kiln hood and cooler
Topics
• Classification
• Storage - workability properties - dry out/heating-up
• Installation technologies vibration vs. dry and wet gunning
• Cold repair technology (veneering)
Classification refractory products:
raw material - bonding system - installation technology

magnesia corundum bauxite mullite andalusite fireclay silica zirconia SiC light weight
influence:
- higher water demand
- longer mixing time
- retarded setting process
- lower green strength
suboptimal delivery
optimal date 6 months 1st year 2nd year
influence: influence:
- setting time <10 oC - slightly higher water demand
- retarded setting time <20 oC
- lower green strength
Workability properties – storage
Features:
• no perforation
• only one air outlet valve
• filling hole closed by ultrasonic gluing
