Deguisa S.A.

Deguisa is present in the main steel groups of the national and international market supplying the refractory materials associated with the different equipment that integrates a steel mill as well as the NOVALCO own sliding valve system.

Types of refractory elements for Steell mills:

- Laddles: Steel mill’s laddles are used to transport molten metal from the furnace to the casting area. Deguisa manufactures a wide variety of components and refractory elements that can be adapted to the laddle of every steel plant. Shaped and non-shaped refractory products are supplied in different qualities to optimize performance based on the different grades of steel produced. Products for Laddles (Roof laddle and roof laddle heater / Refractory laddle flange / Refractory purging systems / Plug fixing systems / NOVALCO sliding gate mechanism / Wellfiller sand / Refractory concrete / Sealing mass for refractory joints)

- Tundish: The tundish is a container of large dimensions that receives the steel from the laddle prior to its introduction into the continuous casting machine. Tundish are highly responsible facilities within the casting process of molten steel, because they are subjected to high temperatures continuously and failure of them involves not only the production sequence, but also the safety of the plant. For this reason, Deguisa manufactures highly reliable products that guarantee the quality and purity of the steel produced as well as the integrity of the installation. Products for Tundish (Isostatically pressed refractory / Tundish roof cover / Security or permanent tundish lining / Dams and tundish walls / Plates for tundish sliding gate / Tundish heating / Special pieces for horizontal continuous casting)

- Electric arc furnace: Electric Arc Furnaces are installations that apply electrical energy through electrodes for melting metal scrap. Deguisa offers shaped refractory solutions that are part of the refractory components  of an EAF (Electric Arc Furnace).
Products for Electric arc furnace (Electric arc furnace roof / Furnace gate / Furnace outlet spouts)

- Induction furnace: Induction furnaces apply magnetic fields for melting steel and other metals, demanding a rigorous control of the process. Deguisa developes refractory products with high added value for the steel induction furnace, which due to the particularities of the process must have additional quality requirements. Products for Induction furnace (Induction furnace roof / Induction furnace spout / Induction furnace pushing block / Working lining)

The most important smelters of Spain rely on Deguisa to perform the lining of the maximum responsibility productive equipment and be able to reach the demanding requirements of the markets.
