Refractron
Booth 434
Refractron celebrates its 30th anniversary
this year, and designs and manufactures
complex ceramic products.
The company produces specialty ceramics
and desiccants which encompasses three
product lines. These product lines are
categorised as porous ceramics, structural
ceramics, and desiccants. Each of the
product groups are manufactured with
proprietary materials used to reduce costly
downtime associated with maintenance.
Some of the markets it serves are wire
manufacturing, mineral processing, waste
water filtration systems and refrigeration.
For wire drawing, the Izory® (proprietary
magnesia partially stabilised zirconia –
MgPSZ) drawing cones and guides have
quickly become recognised as the tool for
making premium wire. Refractron claim
Izory’s® performance will increase wire
production, and that its pristine finish and
outstanding material properties contribute
to making quality wire with limited
maintenance. In addition, each part is laser
marked with part numbers and lot numbers
to ensure quality control. The company
can also personalise parts with customer
numbers for ease of inventory control.
Refractron carries a full range of parts to
support wire drawing including rings, rolls,
eyelets, air wipes, drawing cones and
guides.
