NECO Casting Tips

NECO material is a unique formulation of ceramic fibers bonded with a inorganic, silica binder. The material matrix consists of a hardened exterior surface and a softer, more fibrous inner core resulting in a finished product with excellent dimensional stability and low thermal conductivity. This material can be used on all types of continuous casters.

TF (Thermally Formed) Combo Bag

Pyrotek's Rigid Combo Bag uses Pyrotek patented fiberglass fabric coating technology. At a certain temperature, the coated fabric is thermally formed and made rigid. When used on various combo bag parts, these parts can be assembled together avoiding costly sewing operations. A variety of filtration fabric openings are available with this new coating, as well as new low-cost dense fiberglass fabrics.

Heated Trough System

Pyrotek's heated trough systems are used to hold metal at temperature during transfer. The Heated Trough cover can control trough temperature up to 1800°F (982°C). In addition, the heated trough systems keeps refractory surfaces hot thus avoiding refractory thermal shock. The system also has the ability to preheat the trough before introduction of liquid metal, maintaining the temperature of the metal.

RFM® Control Pins

RFM® control pins are a unique patented technology from Pyrotek. Traditionally, control pins are manufactured as solid rods from various materials. Unless thorough preheating is applied, the control pin can become a heat sink and sometimes lead to problems at start up. Because the RFM control pin is manufactured as a tube, the material mass is greatly reduced. In addition, the control pin further benefits from the unique thin wall properties offered by RFM technology.
