Wedge RIM Boards are non-asbestos millboards manufactured with excellent quality of high temperature refractory insulation mineral fibers. These Low cost, high strength, high temperature insulation millboards are widely used as back-up insulation, as heat-shields, and as splash-guards. This is not only in the steel industry, but in many industries involving the transfer of molten metals.

​

Wedge RIM Boards have excellent thermomechanical properties:

• Very high operating temperature of 1000 C.

• Very high flexural strength > 7 Mpa

• Very low thermal conductivity 0.12 W/m.K

• Very low shrinkage at 1000C: 1.6 %

• Reusable without losing original thermomechanical properties

• Remains intact and highly stable at high temperatures.

​

Benefits and Applications

• Reduce High Shell Temperature

• Increase Refractory Life

• Reduce High Heat Loss

• Lower Shell Temperature - Protecting Shell

• Increased Refractory Life - Cost Reduction

• Reduce Heat Loss - Cost Reduction

• Lower Safety Lining Thickness

• Increase Ladle Volume

• Increase Refractory Wear Lining Thickness

• Increase steel Production out put

• Reduce Maintenance Cost & Time

​

Ladle Insulation: Wedge Refractory Insulation Millboards are used as a ladle back-up insulator, absorbing heat that is transferred between the refractory fire bricks and the ladle body. This helps to increase the temperature in the ladle, and thus save energy, money, and time. Please also visit Wedge Refractories Products. At Wedge SSPL manufacture and supply wide range of Steel Plant Raw-materials.

​

Wedge RIM Boards sliding gate gaskets give further control over steel flow out of the ladle. Our bespoke gaskets are easy to install and remove. They are highly resistant to steel penetration, and safe to handle.

​

It is ideally suited to the high temperatures experienced when transferring molten steel, excelling as splash-guards or temporary lids.
