How refractory technologies can reduce production costs

Cement production would be impossible without refractories. However, the potential for saving costs through the selection of refractory material and design aligned to each kiln system is often underestimated. Optimal refractory solutions can extend operating times and prevent unscheduled kiln stops. The article describes a number of Refratechnik Cement GmbH (Germany) developments in this field.
