Smelting Furnace Roofs

Equipment reliability, accessibility, leak detection and monitoring, and in-situ repairability were primary objectives during the development of SYSTEMS Spray-Cooled™ panelized furnace roofs. All of these objectives were achieved and the campaign goals were established at 5 years!

All of the many technological, safety, environmental, operational, and maintenance benefits of our Spray-Cooled™ equipment can be found on SYSTEMS Spray-Cooled™ panelized furnace roofs, and years of successful operation have proven the viability, economy, and reliability of our technology in this most demanding of smelting industry applications.

  • Large-diameter furnace roofs can be panelized into “pie slice” panels with radial panel gaps. Each panel is completely self-sustaining with independent cooling water supply, distribution, and drainage.
  • Light weight minimizes lifting and smelting equipment support peripherals.
  • Tension-ring structural concept facilitates single-panel removal.
  • Dual containment capabilities facilitate leak detection monitoring.
  • The hot face and entire cooling water system are accessible and repairable from the outside, in-situ.
  • Safer smelting operations
  • No special chemical treatment of the cooling water is required for SYSTEMS Spray-Cooled™ panelized smelting furnace roofs.
