Enhance Refractory Grip with V Shape Anchor Zig Zag – Designed for Maximum Holding Power in High-Temperature Linings
In high-temperature industrial processes, refractory linings must withstand extreme heat, thermal cycling, and mechanical stress—without losing their structural integrity. One key component that ensures their stability is the V Shape Anchor Zig Zag, a precision-engineered anchoring system designed to deliver maximum holding strength and superior grip in the most demanding environments.
What is a V Shape Anchor Zig Zag?
A V Shape Anchor Zig Zag is a specialized variation of the standard V shape anchor, featuring zig-zag bends along its length. These bends increase the surface area and mechanical interlock with refractory materials, significantly improving bonding and reducing the risk of lining displacement or sagging. This design is particularly effective for castable refractories in both vertical and overhead applications.
Why Choose the Zig Zag Design?
The zig-zag profile is not just for appearance—it serves a technical purpose:
Enhanced Grip: The bends act as anchor points inside the castable, ensuring a stronger bond.
Stress Distribution: Zig-zag bends help absorb and distribute thermal expansion forces.
Improved Resistance: Better performance under thermal cycling and mechanical vibration.
Reduced Slippage: Prevents the refractory lining from loosening over time.
This makes the V Shape Anchor Zig Zag a go-to choice for heavy-duty furnace linings where extra security is required.
Applications of V Shape Anchor Zig Zag
These anchors are used extensively across industries such as:
Steel plants – Electric arc furnaces (EAF), ladles, reheating furnaces
Cement industry – Burner pipes, riser ducts, transition zones
Petrochemical plants – Reformers, cracking furnaces
Power plants – Boilers, incinerators, chimneys
Glass manufacturing – Regenerators, port necks
Material Options
V Shape Anchor Zig Zag can be manufactured from:
SS 304 – Corrosion resistance and moderate heat applications
SS 310 – High-temperature resistance up to 1200°C
Inconel or Alloy steels – For extreme thermal and chemical resistance
Mild Steel (MS) – For budget-conscious, lower-temperature installations
The choice depends on your furnace type, refractory material, and operating environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a V Shape Anchor Zig Zag?
A V Shape Anchor Zig Zag is a refractory anchoring system with a zig-zag bend along its length, designed to improve grip and bonding with castable refractories. This design provides maximum holding strength and prevents lining displacement, especially in high-temperature applications.
How is the zig-zag design better than a standard V shape anchor?
The zig-zag bends increase surface area contact with the refractory material, distribute thermal stress more evenly, and provide extra mechanical locking—resulting in better stability and longer refractory life.
Can V Shape Anchor Zig Zags be customized?
Yes. We offer custom lengths, widths, material grades, and bending patterns to match specific furnace geometries and refractory thicknesses.
How are these anchors installed?
Typically, V Shape Anchor Zig Zags are welded to the steel shell of the furnace using stud welding or manual welding. Proper spacing is crucial to ensure even stress distribution and lining stability.
Do you supply bulk quantities for large projects?
Yes. We specialize in bulk manufacturing with strict quality checks, fast production timelines, and export-ready packaging for domestic and international shipments.
