Aluminium & Non-Ferrous Metals
For aluminium and non-ferrous melts: non-wetting calcium silicate lining, refractory masses, degassing and insulation — all from one source, made in Erl.
Melting furnace, launder and ladle require non-wetting, refractory lining and reliable melt treatment. SENN supplies calcium silicate, refractory masses, degassing and insulation for aluminium and non-ferrous metals from one source.
Applications in detail
- Melting & holding furnaces: refractory castables, bricks and masses for furnace lining.
- Launders & ladles: non-wetting calcium silicate lining against aluminium build-up.
- Melt treatment: stirrers, impellers and degassing units for melt handling.
- Back-up insulation: fibre modules and microporous insulation against heat loss.
- Melt filtration: ceramic foam filters for a clean melt up to 1450 °C casting temperature.
- Crucibles & melt handling: crucibles and stands from Morgan Molten Metal Systems, ex stock.
- Melt treatment: products for degassing, grain refining, cleaning and covering the melt.
- Tapping: refractory stoppers for aluminium casting control the melt flow.
- Holding furnace & launder: non-wetting lining for holding furnaces, launders and transport ladles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why non-wetting calcium silicate materials?
Non-wetting calcium silicate stops liquid aluminium from sticking to launders, ladles and linings. That keeps the melt clean and makes cleaning easier.
What do you supply for melting and holding furnaces?
Refractory concretes, bricks and masses for the lining, plus fibre modules and microporous insulation as back-up. Fibres work up to 1260 °C.
Do you also cover melt treatment?
Yes. Stirrers, impellers and degassing units for melt handling come from the same house as the lining. Custom-made for launders, crucibles and holding furnaces.
Do you also supply crucibles and melt treatment, not just the lining?
Yes. As a Morgan Molten Metal Systems partner we supply crucibles, stands, ceramic foam filters and products for degassing and grain refining — together with the refractory lining from one source.
