Capital stock a range of ancillary products to support the installation and operation of our materials, enabling Capital to offer the complete package to our customers.Installation by former vibrator gives a denser, more consistent and more repeatable installation. Mechanisation reduces the effect of different installers and, by eliminating the need for spiking between layers, means less likelihood of lamination or of tearing the mica sheet, both of which can lead to metal penetration. Less vibration by hand ramming also means less exposure to 'vibration white finger'.
Wash coats are typically used to protect the underlying refractory lining from chemical attack or slag build up, by both chemically repelling slag and preventing mechanical damage by acting as a parting agent or sacrificial lining.Capital offer a number of different wash coats suitable for a range of applications; see the table below.
Below is a sequence of photographs showing a typical installation of a dry vibration rammable into a small coreless induction furnace.
