DFS refractory components

Main facts about the filter box and washing segment

Drache produces filter boxes in common sizes, from 7′ to 26′, plus double filter boxes and boxes with two stacked filter seats. We provide refractory parts compatible with the inserts of the filter boxes, such as input channels, staggered bricks and output channels. These pieces are available in a wide variety of custom dimensions and formats. We also provide a wide range of gutter segments, from small cross-sections for continuous casting to large segments for smelting laminated billets and ingots, as well as transfer gutters. The parts are made of Drache molten silica (DFS).
