Refrex速 Expanchor Lining Systems

In response to the problems universally encountered by kiln operators, such as shrinkage, dust fall-out due to erosion, and the poor mechanical properties of conventional fibre linings, together with the associated contamination of sanitary ceramic and porcelain products, Insulcon engineers developed the Refrex速 Expanchor Lining System.

The REL® (Refrex®-Expanchor®-Lining) System is a combination of a flexible, dust tight, high temperature and erosion resistant fabric (Refrex®) and a simple, easy to apply anchoring system (Expanchor®). This makes the REL® system a high performance hot face lining for new and existing refractory linings in ceramic kilns, petrochemical heaters and other types of industrial furnace linings; the REL® (Refrex®-Expanchor®-Lining) System.

During the years the REL® system has been successfully applied in:

  • Sanitary shuttle and tunnel kilns
  • Porcelain and glazed earthenware kilns
  • Dust free thermal process kilns. (Electronic components)
  • Speciality (dust free) heat treatment kilns
  • Laboratory- and test kilns
  • Annealing lines
  • LTM lined hot gas ducting
  • Petrochemical heaters (roof sections)
  • Combustion chambers
