Weerulin GmbH

WEERULIN’S Refractory products are used in every step of the production process: from the blast furnace to the steel tundish. Whatever the task, be it unshaped or shaped products – WEERULIN has the solution. Our refractory mixes are based on raw materials with highest refractoriness, such as magnesite, olivine or bauxite.

In the blast furnace there are more monolithic refractory products in continuous operation than at any other stage in the steel production process - excluding new linings and interim repairs. Taphole mixes, runner mixes, assembly parts or preshapes (for example skimmer, tipping trough) are heavily-used refractory products in the production of pig steel.

The converter is the key component in the steel production process in an integrated steel plant. The productivity of a steel plant is dependent to a large extent on the availability and lifetime of the converter. High-quality brick linings in the converter combined with state-of-the-art gunning maintenance have led to a significant increase in lifespan.
