Redi-Shapes Custom-Engineered Precast Refractory Shapes
Plibrico Redi-Shapes® are custom-engineered precast refractory components designed to meet the exact specifications of furnaces, boilers, and incinerators. Each shape, ranging from 10-lb bricks to 15,000-lb precision blocks, is made with optimal refractory materials and fired to achieve superior performance in demanding conditions. Custom firing profiles enhance resistance to abrasion, erosion, thermal shock, and metal or slag penetration. Manufactured to precise dimensions, Redi-Shapes minimize downtime by eliminating extensive tear-outs around damaged lining areas.
CUSTOM CRAFTED, PRECISION FORMED
Made from the highest-quality refractory materials, Plibrico Redi-Shapes provide fast refractory lining replacement in recurring high-wear zones. Our in-plant manufacturing conditions enhance consistent production, and molds are engineered to ensure a perfectly contoured, dimensionally accurate block every time:
- Top Quality: Stringent quality control, with hand inspections before and after firing to ensure your critical surfaces are defect free with a perfectly contoured shape
- Customized Engineering: Solutions and drawings that address your requirements and challenges to improve your total cost of ownership
- Installation and On-Site Technical Support: Experience and advice for problem areas that increase refractory strength, durability, and longevity
From delta sections and domes to small boiler components, the Plibrico Company has decades of experience producing the quality precast shapes you need.
