Emergency Refractory Repair Works by Veneering Technology
Emergency refractory repair works to reduce shutdown time and extend refractory life
CEMAX Veneering Technology is a customized refractory repair method that is applied on worn linings in both static aggregates and rotary furnace, to offer less downtime, energy saving, cost saving, and sufficient lifetime with special blended refractory material, customized installation equipment, and skilled installation team.
What is Veneering Technology
- Dry dense blended gunning products
- Refractory repair on worn working linings to reach original working lining thickness again
- App. thickness
- Maximum 100 mm on vertical lining
- 70 mm on horizontal lining
- Minimum 25 mm (It is more than make-up!)
Why we use Veneering Technology
- Fast commissioning
- Energy saving due to short heating-up
- Cost saving due to low refractory consumption, and repeatable process
Where is the application area
- Static aggregates area
- Rotary furnace (only in emergency to prolong operation until next planned shutdown)
- Best performance in the low abrasion zones
- On working lining only
When to use Veneering Technology
- In planned shutdown
- Emergency situations (to run furnace until next planned shutdown)
How to apply Veneering Technology
- Assessment on existing lining
- No need of demolition
- No requirement of new insulating lining and new anchors
- With standard dry dense gunning equipment set-up

Common refractory problems
Industrial plants operate under extreme temperatures, thermal cycling, chemical attack, and continuous production pressure. Refractory failure can lead to:
- Unplanned shutdowns
- Production losses
- Excessive heat loss
- Hotspots and shell overheating
- Cracking and spalling
- Burner area damage
- Energy inefficiency
- Safety risks
- Increased maintenance costs
Our Veneering Technology are designed to improve operational reliability while minimizing downtime.
