Carbon and graphite blocks

Blocks of carbon and graphite for lining blast furnaces

Carbon and graphite blocks for blast furnaces are used for lining blast furnaces. Thermoanthracite and artificial graphite are the main raw materials used in the production of carbon blocks. Low-sulfur petroleum coke is used in the production of graphite blocks. Medium-temperature coal-tar pitch is used as a binding material. We manufacture rectangular and trapezoidal blocks with fully mechanical high precision:

Quality control machining

The machining quality is controlled at a special test bench. The test bench enables to implement a control assembly of the bottom and hearth parts for blast-furnaces of all dimensions and types.
