Engineered Precast Refractory Shapes

Manufacturing high-quality, custom Engineered Precast Refractory Shapes is at the heart of what we do every day at Onex. Whether you need structural components for your furnace like side walls, hearths, and car bottom decks or specialized custom shapes like piers, troughs, baffle walls, tundish, kiln furniture, ladle spouts, or long-lasting melt shop consumables, our expert team will make sure you get exactly what you need.

With a dedicated engineering staff, rapid prototyping capabilities, skilled experienced craftsmen, and unbiased sourcing of refractory materials, we work fast and smart to help you find the right solution. No matter your dimensions or specifications, we can fabricate precise molds for any precast shape.

We’re so proficient in this area that other precast manufacturers rely on us for contract manufacturing or tolling of their precast shapes when they don’t have the capacity or capabilities in-house.

There’s more to precast refractory shapes than meets the eye.

Precast Refractory Shapes are a tricky thing. If the chemical makeup and water content of the refractory material aren’t carefully chosen, if it’s not mixed and poured just right to remove all the air, if the mold design is off, or if the shape is not properly cured and dried out, you may end up with a premature part failure.

So many tiny details go into the design and crafting of precast refractory shapes. If you want to maximize their useful life, trust the experts at Onex to make your shapes.

Precast Rapid Prototyping

RAPID PROTOTYPING

With advanced technology, we can design and create molds for your precast refractory shapes FAST. We use a combination of wood, steel, rubber, nylon, and styrofoam depending on the project, and can fabricate molds for any precast shape, no matter the dimensions.

Precast Shapes Mixing and Vibration

Mixing and Vibration

Onex represents a variety of high-quality refractory manufacturers and can help determine the best mixture for your operational requirements. With a multitude of different mixers and vibration tables, we can work together to make a custom shape to best suit your needs.

Precast Furnace Curing

Cure and Dry Out

After the precast shapes are poured and have endured their curing period, our specialists will demold the shapes, inspect them and load them into the furnace where they will be dried out. Our furnaces can high-fire up to 2000F and can run slow cool down cycles to ensure the shapes set properly.
