Furnace Solutions Industrial Solutions

The Anchors Division  Over 30 years experience.  Design, manufacture, supply and installation of comprehensive range of refractory anchor systems for monolithic, ceramic fibre and brick refractory linings; temperatures up to 1600 ° C.  Team ensures correct grade of material, dimensions, spacing patterns and welding methods are selected for an anchorage system; this is essential in enhancing the lining performance.

Refractory Anchor Manufacturing Facilities  State of the Art CNC anchor manufacturing machine  Diameter range from 4mm to 12mm  Average of 850 pieces per hour . Benefits  Short lead times  Competitive pricing  Customised designs  Stock availability  In-house installation capability

Consignment Stock of Anchors • We strategically stock substantial amounts of a vast range high temperature alloys including 304, 310, 316 and 253MA in shapes such as round bars, flat bars, plates and round wire so we can confidently offer short delivery times. • Specialty high-temperature heat-resistant alloys available on request. • Should you have a preference on self-designed anchoring systems, our company will offer these according to your drawings, samples or sketches.

Anchors Products and Services The Anchor Division’s extensive range of products and services includes: • Refractory anchors • Reinforcing fibres • Steel fibres for refractory applications • Hex mesh • Stud-welding systems and equipment • Shear connectors • Arc and Wear studs • Refractory anchor installation services

Monolithic Refractory Anchors • Since the development of monolithic refractory products, metal anchoring systems have been utilized in supporting monolithic materials. • Comprehensive range of high quality standard and custom-made refractory anchors for monolithic linings. • range of hand and stud welded refractory anchors for all applications

Typical Anchors Used in Cement Plants

Refractory Brick Anchors Complete range of high quality standard and custom-made refractory anchors for refractory brick linings

Ceramic Fibre Fixings The company offers several systems suitable for anchoring ceramic fibre over a range of temperatures including the following.  Press On Clip Systems  Threaded Studs  Washers  Wide range of Ceramic Fibre Fixings

Ceramic Fibre Fixings Module Backing Plate Lock Washers Fibre lock pins

Hex Mesh Anchors • For process plants which is subject to the passage of erosive gas streams, especially at high temperature. • Supplied as flat panels or rolled shapes. • Temperatures up to 800 ° C.

Reinforcing Fibers - Melt Extract • Range of Melt Extract (ME) reinforcing fibres for standard industrial use through to specialty applications such as extreme temperature, high corrosion and niche industry requirements. • Steel fibres for mining and construction industries. • The use of our stainless steel alloy fibres substantially improves refractory durability and performance, and reduces refractory installation maintenance and material.

Shear Connectors An essential component in steel-concrete composite structures, beam design and construction. Composite construction combines the positive features of steel construction and structural concrete thereby offering the following benefits: • Cost savings: reduction of building materials in the design of composite structures. • Reduced building heights: save on materials as lighter beams result in shallower floor sections. • Secures concrete to steel structural components. • Increase shear loading capacity in steel buildings. • Provides larger rooms with fewer obstructions because longer beams can be used. • Reliable and safe under static and dynamic stress. • Mechanical interlock of steel and concrete. • Firm welds produced by stud welding. • Application by trained operators – no highly qualified welders required.

Wear Studs and Spike Studs • Wear studs used in earth moving and mining construction equipment. • Spike Studs used in the timber industry.

CD Pins and Clips • Fastening systems that are ideal for stud-welding fasteners for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, signage and construction industries.

Stud Welding

Studwelding Equipment • Leading stud-welding technologies from Taylor Stud Welding Systems Ltd (United Kingdom) and brands, including Taylor (UK) and Heinz Soyer Bolzenschweisstechnik GmbH (Germany).

Refractory Anchor Installation Services According to correct:  Anchor Depth  Anchor Spacing  Anchor Patterns  Anchor Attachment  Anchor Alloys

Why Stud Weld Refractory Anchors Limitations of Conventional Methods of Installation Stud Welding Properties Drilling and tapping: These processes are slow. The The process is fast (up to 30 studs a minute) as the entire system also requires thicker parent material and longer arc welding cycle normally takes less than a second. studs Inserts: These can work loose. Holes must be punched There is minimal heat and penetration depth, preventing and deburred, weakening parent material and taking time. distortion and ensuring good attachment to thick and thin The reverse side is not always clean and flat. materials (from 0,7 to over 2,0 mm). Back welding: The process is slow. Holes need to be No holes are needed eliminating the possibility of leaks or punched and deburred in parent material, which weakens weakening of the sheet. The stud welding equipment is it. The excess weld has to be ground off to achieve a portable and easily jigged. clean flat finish. Through bolting: Requires two-handed assembly with There are a variety of stud welding processes suitable for access from both sides. Holes need to be punched and securing studs ranging in diameter from 1,0 to 30 mm. deburred taking time and weakening the parent material. The weld is stronger than the parent material or the stud. the assembly is not leak-proof. Access is required from only one side.
