Over the years, the iron and steel industries have seen an increasing reliance on monolithic refractories, which are either cast or pneumatically installed. These types of installations not only provide extended service life if properly installed and dried in a controlled and uniform manner, but also result in significant cost savings to the end user.

The introduction of Hotwork's high velocity heating to the iron and steel industries has played a significant role in the success of the new generation of monolithic refractory products. As the primary supplier of Refractory Dryout & Heatup services to the iron and steel industries worldwide, Hotwork is able to provide important information and suggestions during the planning stages of refractory installations in all types of vessels, enabling a more efficient and effective dryout/heatup of these products, thus enhancing performance over the campaign life of the refractory.
 
Steel mill Blast Furnaces, Bustle Pipes, BF Troughs, BF Runners, Hot Blast Mains and BF Stoves are accurately and uniformly heated to ensure optimum campaign life and less down time.
