Description

Refractory Ball

Material System & Positioning

Refractory balls are spherical heat-storage media of high-alumina or corundum: Al₂O₃ 55-99%, diameters Φ25/40/50/60/75mm, crushing strength ≥40 kN/ball and refractoriness ≥1790℃. Large specific surface, high heat-exchange efficiency and crush resistance make them ideal heat-storage beds for hot blast stoves and regenerative heaters. It is Henan Songrui's core heat-storage grade.

Key Performance

  • Complete sizes: Φ25-75mm.
  • High efficiency: large specific surface.
  • Crush resistant: ≥40 kN/ball, no powdering.
  • Flexible installation: easy charging and maintenance.

Applications

  • Steel & Iron: hot blast stove beds, regenerative heater beds.
  • Non-ferrous: regenerative combustion systems.
  • Chemical: heat exchanger media.

Selection Advice

Zone by temperature: corundum/high-grade high-alumina for hot zones, ordinary high-alumina for cooler zones; ball size per bed design. Charging schemes available.

Installation & Maintenance

Charge in layers with mixed sizes for higher packing density; replenish regularly to keep the bed intact.

FAQs

Where are refractory balls used?

Ball-type stoves, regenerative reheating furnaces, petrochemical preheaters.

Sizes of refractory balls?

Common diameters 20-60mm, selected by equipment; grades include high-alumina, fireclay, mullite.

Reusable?

Yes—balls cycle through heating/cooling; life depends on temperature swings and grade.
