Coreless Induction Furnaces

Working Lining

MINRO-SIL^®

MINRO-SIL, the first US domestic dry rammed silica manufactured with pre-blended binder, was introduced to the foundry industry over 45 years ago. Improvements in manufacturing and product design have resulted in the highest quality silica refractory available. MINRO–SIL is available in a variety of formulations including:

• MINRO-SIL 1001 – The original refractory since 1961 for  iron melting coreless induction furnaces.
• MINRO-SIL LD – The benchmark for low dust silica refractory technology.
• MINRO-SIL 2001^® – Optimized grain size distribution  provides unsurpassed performance and reliability. Low dust version also available.

DRI-VIBE^®

Highest quality, moisture free refractory with value enhanced technology. Silica and alumina based compositions are available utilizing  chrome oxide, fused silica and zircon additions for most types of induction furnace applications. DRI-VIBE is also available with patented fiber reinforced technology to increase mechanical toughness and improved thermal cycling.
