Torpedo Ladle
LWB offers a wide range of products for the torpedo ladle lining. Under normal operating conditions a so-called "white lining" – burned bricks based on bauxite – is recommended. Our standard lining concept, consisting of ALUBAX and ELOBAX grades, gives excellent performance.
For more severe conditions, carbon-bonded alumina bricks based on andalusite are the first choice for a torpedo ladle lining. LWB has introduced the SITALBRICK family to meet these requirements ("black lining"):
- lower wettability
- higher resistance to chemical attack
- higher thermal shock resistance
To meet the most severe conditions, our ASC grades are recommended. ASC (alumina – SiC – Carbon) brick further improves thermal shock resistance as well as abrasion resistance.
A special mortar – SITAL – BONDMIX 220 – is used for brick installation in torpedo ladles.
Iron Ladle
As conditions in iron ladles become more demanding (pretreatment), more high-quality refractories are being used.
Similar to a torpedo ladle lining, there are principally two different lining types:
- "white" lining and
- "black" lining
A "white" lining concept consists of PANTAL (andalusite) and ALUBAX or ELOBAX (both bauxite) bricks.
The SITALBRICK grades are our solution for medium conditions, ("black lining") and exactly like a torpedo ladle, the first choice for extreme conditions is ASC bricks.
