Refrex® Expanchor Lining Systems

In response to the problems universally encountered by kiln operators, such as shrinkage, dust fall-out due to erosion, and the poor mechanical properties of conventional fibre linings, together with the associated contamination of sanitary ceramic and porcelain products, Insulcon engineers developed the Refrex® Expanchor Lining System.

The REL® (Refrex®-Expanchor®-Lining) System is a combination of a flexible, dust tight, high temperature and erosion resistant fabric (Refrex®) and a simple, easy to apply anchoring system (Expanchor®). This makes the REL® system a high performance hot face lining for new and existing refractory linings in ceramic kilns, petrochemical heaters and other types of industrial furnace linings; the REL® (Refrex®-Expanchor®-Lining) System.

During the years the REL® system has been successfully applied in:

  • Sanitary shuttle and tunnel kilns
  • Porcelain and glazed earthenware kilns
  • Dust free thermal process kilns. (Electronic components)
  • Speciality (dust free) heat treatment kilns
  • Laboratory- and test kilns
  • Annealing lines
  • LTM lined hot gas ducting
  • Petrochemical heaters (roof sections)
  • Combustion chambers
