Secure Refractory Castables with Castable Anchors – High-Strength, Heat-Resistant & Durable Fastening Solutions

In the world of high-temperature operations, refractory castables are essential for lining furnaces, kilns, boilers, and reactors. However, without proper support, castables can crack, spall, or collapse under the effects of extreme heat, thermal shock, and mechanical stress. This is where Castable Anchors play a vital role—ensuring the structural integrity, stability, and long service life of refractory systems.


Designed with precision and manufactured from heat-resistant stainless steels and specialty alloys, Castable Anchors provide strong reinforcement that keeps castables securely in place, even in the harshest industrial environments.


What are Castable Anchors?


Castable Anchors are metallic fastening devices specially designed to hold monolithic refractory castables firmly inside furnaces and high-temperature vessels. Unlike standard anchors, Castable Anchors are optimized to distribute stress evenly, ensuring better bonding and durability of the refractory lining.


They come in a variety of designs and shapes—including V-shaped, Y-shaped, Zig-Zag, Corrugated, and custom-engineered types—depending on the thickness of the castable and the furnace design.
