when a major foundry in france, a supplier of cast parts to the country’s automotive manufacturers, needed two dosing furnaces relined, a new control system for the furnaces, and an advanced electrical cabinet, and they needed it all during a pandemic when worker health and safety was on everyone’s mind—they turned to pyrotek. pyrotek had long been their trusted partner, supplying equipment technology and reliable, high-performing parts, as well as on-site technical expertise.

pyrotek delivered and installed a 19.5-meter (64-foot) transfer line (launder) with infrared heating lids at cie c. vilanova, a high-pressure die casting plant in barcelona, spain. a previously installed transfer line provided by another vendor was leading to freezing aluminium, metal overflows, and unsafe conditions.

case study: pyrotek delivered an insulating solution that enabled a customer in eastern europe to reduce energy consumption related to their steel ladle by eur€250,000 per year and delivered a return on their investment in less than three months.
