Promat Insulation Solutions for Steel Plants

Improve steel plant efficiency with Promat’s backup insulation solutions

Promat and Skamol have joined forces, creating a partnership that delivers advanced insulation solutions for the steel industry. Together we combine extensive steel industry expertise and a range of insulation materials to enhance your process's thermal management, energy efficiency, and safety. Tailored to your specific steelmaking needs, our Microporous and Vermiculite insulation can provide:

Reduction of heat loss by up to 60%

Energy cost savings between 20-50%

Reduction of CO2 emissions by up to 60%

Increased capacity by up to 10%

Optimize energy savings by reducing temperature drop and shell temperatures

Our materials are highly effective in reducing molten metal temperature drops by up to 25% and can decrease the outer ladle shell temperature by as much as 100°C. This ensures that ladles maintain optimal conditions and can extend their lifespan by up to 50%, all while protecting the safety of the operators.

Tundish excellence: Maximize steel output

Our insulation minimizes temperature variations to enhance the casting process and steel quality. This ensures optimal operation, boosts tundish equipment longevity, and minimizes downtime. Improve your tundish with our microporous insulation for up to 10% capacity increase and between 20-50% energy savings, tailored to your needs.

Reduce heat loss and maintenance costs with Microporous and Vermiculite products

Transporting hot metal is crucial in steel production. This step is complex because the lining must withstand re-oxidation and maintain high temperatures while protecting the refractory lining's structural integrity. Our Torpedo Ladle insulation materials are key to optimizing molten metal transportation. We recommend our high-strength Vermiculite boards, SkamoSteel VIP 12 HS, which offer excellent thermal shock resistance and durability.

Our Microporous and Vermiculite products reduce heat loss by up to 50% compared to non-insulated torpedo cars, ensuring higher steel temperatures (up to 100°C) on arrival and reducing the outer shell temperature by up to 30%. Maintaining these conditions improves efficiency, prolongs the ladle's lifespan, and cuts maintenance costs

Reduce steel temperature, boost safety, and cut costs with converter insulation

In steel production, converter insulation is crucial for protecting the steel shell, improving worker safety, and extending the lifespan of the entire application. The converter is lined with refractory and insulating materials that must withstand high temperatures and significant compressive forces. Our vermiculite boards, such as SkamoSteel VIP-12 HS and SkamoSteel VIP-12 HT, offer excellent thermal shock resistance and durability.
