Purmetall GmbH & Co. KG Refractories, Ladle Well Fillers and Synthetic Slags

Thanks to our long-standing commitment to scientific research and our close customer relationships, PURMETALL now has over 60 years of experience in manufacturing ladle well fillers. In 2018, we produced more than 25.000 tons of ladle well fillers and delivered them to our customers around the globe. 

The ideal procedure for adding ladle well filler into the ladle’s casting channel often remains unclear. Manual addition is no longer considered up-to date, as it causes time and material losses – in addition to the fact that occupational safety is compromised. If the ladle well filler is not applied accurately it often does not reach the necessary areas, and prevents the ladle from opening without problems.

PURMETALL’s engineering team specialises in creating custom-tailored technical solutions for dosing and applying ladle well fillers. Taking all relevant factors into consideration, our engineers plan, produce and install perfectly designed stations for adding ladle well fillers.

Our winning formula: Together with our customers, our engineers select the best possible ladle well filler. Furthermore, we collaborate with our customers to develop a concept for their ladle well filler dosing station. We engineer and install it and ensure that it is operating correctly.

Slag pots used in steelworks are often overlooked – an unjustly so! Slag pot maintenance and repairs involve high costs and require a lot of time that could actually be saved. When using slag pots, we have often observed the following problems:  

• Emptying the pots: slag and skulls get stuck in the pots which requires extra machinery to remove residue
• Warping of pots
• Steel residue in the slag, damage to the slag pot caused by molten steel
• Repairing the slag pot results in high costs, requires personnel and reduces the slag pot’s availability and time in use.

PURMETALL has developed a unique solution for managing slag pots. This concept is based on the use of our newly created product, Slagspray PRO, which the slag pot is sprayed with. Slagspray PRO works as an easy-release coating as well as an insulating mass. This enables the skulls to drop out without using any mechanical force. Slagspray PRO‘s insulating properties make sure that the slag pot does not get as hot. Therefore, the pot’s lifespan is extended and warping is significantly reduced – along with the amount of maintenance that is required.

The product’s application in the slag pot can be performed with a conventional gunning machine. Upon request it is also possible to fully automate this procedure.

If desired, the application can also be performed with a slag pot manipulator, which automatically sprays the product onto the inside of the pot.

We will be happy to present our new slag pot concept to you at the METEC 2019! Let us know if you are interested.

As our focus lies on occupational safety, PURMETALL has developed a concept for producing explosion-proof components. Our product, Alusol Cast, has just been introduced to the market and offers numerous advantages in comparison to conventional concrete.

Customer benefits:

• Significantly shorter warming-up period
• Lower energy usage
• Less time and steel required
• Faster availability
• Greatly extended lifespans

The continuous mixer uniquely designed for Alusol Cast provides the ideal method for transporting the material and ensures that layers do not build up, which prevents weak spots from forming in the component. This process guarantees the perfect composition of Alusol Cast and SolGel binding materials. The machine’s design draws on PURMETALL’s expertise and can be rented or purchased by our customers.

We will be happy to present our new Alusol concept to you at METEC 2019! Just let us know if you are interested.
