Aluminium furnaces rely on high temperature insulation materials to optimise production yield and minimise energy costs, which can rise rapidly if excessive heat escapes from the point of operation. This article examines the key considerations for specifying castable refractory insulation systems, offering advice on achieving the best value solutions which minimise energy consumption, optimise outputs and meet the needs of both the installer and end user.
