Collaboration with Réfraco’s Bricklaying Robot (RBR) technology
Gouda Refractories is recognized for its commitment to innovation and collaborative projects. In 2022, we teamed up with Réfraco, a company specializing in ready-to-use components and equipment for foundries, mines, and industries operating in high-temperature and aggressive environments.
Exclusive Supplier
In the past few years they developed the Réfraco’s Bricklaying Robot (RBR) technology, a groundbreaking advancement in the refractory industry that makes it possible to build a single flue wall in just 20 to 24 hours. As part of the collaboration, Gouda Refractories became the sole supplier of HS 150 mortar for the RBR technology. This mortar suits the RBR technology perfectly, as it stands out for its consistent performance, exceptional durability, and compatibility with automated application processes.
For example:
Efficiency: Unlike traditional mortars, HS 150 eliminates the need for interim cleaning and recalibration between applications.
Time Savings: Réfraco reports that the use of HS 150 has significantly reduced downtime during operations.
Enhanced Quality: The consistent high quality of Gouda Refractories mortars ensures optimal results with every application, improving the overall performance of refractory installations.
This collaboration highlights how Gouda Refractories leverages its expertise to drive innovation and deliver value to its partners and their industries.
