• Introducing CORSHIELD™

    Innovative refractories for DRI applications
    CORSHIELD

    Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) is transforming iron production by providing a more environment friendly alternative to the traditional blast furnace route. 

     

    As the industry advances towards low CO emission iron and steel making, the demand for cutting-edge refractory solutions that can withstand the unique challenges of DRI shaft furnaces, especially with elevated hydrogen (H2) levels, is growing. 

     

    Our refractory bricks are engineered to meet these demands, offering sustainability combined with durability towards abrasion and complex gas corrosion. Rely on our innovative materials to boost the effciency and longevity of your DRI processes.

    ABRASION RESISTANT
    Engineered to withstand the harsh conditions relative to the continuous flow of solid pellets.

  • Konventionelle Hochöfen und Holzkohle-Hochöfen bestimmte Arten von Feuerfestmaterialien, um einen reibungslosen Betrieb zu gewährleisten.

    Wir bieten ein umfassendes Produktprogramm für konventionelle Kohlenstoffhochöfen, von denen viele an die Anforderungen und Betriebsbedingungen der Kunden angepasst wurden. Seit 1982 leisten wir Pionierarbeit bei der stetigen Weiterentwicklung der Keramischen Tassen Lösung für das Hochofengestell und bieten nun die dritte Generation unserer branchenführenden Coranit® SlagR-Keramiktasse-Technologie an. Die vorherige Generation verlängerte die Lebensdauer der Gestellwand um mehr als 10 Jahre. Jetzt verlängert der Keramische Tasse aus Coranit® SlagR diese um weitere 2-3 Jahre, was zu einem erheblichen Mehrwert für den Endverbraucher führt:

    Geringerer Energieverbrauch

    • Reduktion von CO2 -Emissionen und Einsparung von Energie und Kokseinsatz
    • Schnelle Amortisation innerhalb von 2 Jahren
    • Recycling von Schlacke

    Weitere Mehrwerte der Keramischen Tasse wie z.B. eine Erhöhung der Betriebssicherheit ist fast zweitrangig gegenüber dem dramatischen Anstieg des Preises pro Tonne CO2-Emission.

  • FAQ

    How is CORSHIELD™ sustainable?
    Ecovadis

    CORSHIELD™ is manufactured in Ecovadis-certified facilities  as:

    • Silver in Halol, India;
    • Gold in Palakkad, India. 
       

    Additionally, using 100 % green energy in our Italian Ecovadis-certified facility: 

    • Platinum in Mezzocorona, Italy.
       
    How does CORSHIELD™ meet the technical demands of modern DRI furnaces?

    Key areas of the DRI furnace, such as the lower cone, bustle, and transition zones, are exposed to extreme thermal, chemical, and mechanical conditions. Our Corshield™ solutions are specifically engineered to increase the lifespan of these critical zones by countering abrasion and complex gas corrosion. By enhancing durability and reducing wear, they help minimize unplanned maintenance and extend furnace availability, contributing to more stable and cost-effective operations.
    What is the lifespan of CORSHIELD products?

    As an example for the lower cone, DRI furnace operators have reported performance exceeding 15 years, significantly reducing maintenance and replacement needs.
