Pusher Blocks are specially engineered precast refractory components used in pusher-type reheating furnaces and other high-temperature industrial systems where material movement occurs within the furnace. These blocks are designed to withstand continuous mechanical loading, abrasion, thermal cycling, and high operating temperatures while ensuring reliable and efficient furnace operation.
In pusher furnaces, refractory components are exposed to constant contact with moving billets, blooms, slabs, and other materials, creating significant wear and thermal stress. Pusher Blocks are manufactured using high-strength refractory formulations that provide excellent resistance to mechanical impact, abrasion, and thermal shock. Their robust construction helps maintain dimensional stability and operational reliability, contributing to longer furnace campaigns and reduced maintenance requirements.
