Introduction of Kerui Alumina Bubble Brick

Alumina hollow ball bricks consist of alumina hollow balls that undergo high-temperature sintering at 1680°C (3056℉). These bricks possess a low density and exhibit excellent thermal insulation properties due to the small density and low thermal conductivity of the alumina hollow balls they are made from.

Alumina bubble is made of high purity alumina powder with fine particles. The manufacturing process of alumina hollow ball involves melting the alumina powder at high temperatures to transform it into a liquid state. This liquid is then blown into small droplets using high-pressure air, which subsequently shrink and solidify at lower temperatures. Besides, it results in the formation of hollow alumina spheres. Meanwhile, alumina bubbles are ideal thermal insulation filling materials for high-temperature kilns and high-quality aggregates for castable refractory.

Improvements of Kerui Alumina Bubble Brick

Higher Service Temperature

With new and advanced raw materials, alumina bubble brick can withstand even higher service temperatures. It’s worth noting that Kerui adopts as high as 99% Al2O3 in , which also results in high refractoriness. Through advanced manufacturing techniques and strict quality control on each step, Kerui’s alumina bubble brick now offers improved thermal stability. Therefore, it’s an ideal insulation material to maintain the integrity in extreme heat environments.

Better Insulation Effect

Kerui is able to enhance the thermal insulation performance of its bubbled alumina refractories. As we can know from the name, its surface has many tiny holes. Correspondingly, its unique composition and structure contribute to reduced heat transfer, which results in improved energy efficiency and heat preservation. Meanwhile, Enhancement of this insulation brick allows for better temperature control and reduced heat loss in various industrial applications.

More Reasonable Structure

Bulk density of Kerui bubble alumina brick is only 1.1-1.5g/m³. Alumina hollow ball bricks can effectively reduce the weight of kilns. Specifically, when compared to other insulation bricks, the use of alumina hollow ball bricks has resulted in a weight reduction of 1-2 tons. Therefore, this feature not only facilitates easier handling and installation but also offers potential cost savings.

More Convenient to Use

Kerui has focused on making alumina bubble brick more user-friendly and convenient to handle. The bricks are designed to have consistent dimensions and shapes. Moreover, this allows easier installation and replacement. Additionally, Kerui provides comprehensive technical support and guidance to ensure proper usage and maximize the benefits of the product.

Advanced Manufacturing Process of Alumina Bubble Brick

Step1

Preparation of Raw Materials

The inspection of raw materials is strict in Kerui. Only qualified raw materials can be into batching system. We use refractory alumina with high purity, binders and other additives in the production of alumina bubble brick. Besides, it fully automatic batching system control accurate weight and ratio of materials and then send them to mixing system. The mixing process needs about 20 minutes to perform uniform brick pulp.

Step2

Molding Process

The fine brick pulp with alumina bubble will be transformed to molding workshop. Moreover, there are more than 20 sets of high-tonnage presses working simultaneously to press the specified shape efficiently and accurately. At this process, Kerui engineers will individually make molds for customers with special needs and efficiently complete the production of customized alumina hollow ball bricks.

Step3

Drying and Sintering Process

Formed bricks need to enter the drying system to evaporate excess water to avoid cracking in the subsequent high-temperature sintering process. Additionally, Kerui has 2 high temperature tunnel kilns, which can heat the bricks at high efficiency. During the sintering process, these bricks form a solid and durable structure. Besides, Kerui owns 2*168m tunnel kilns which forms uniform color and property.

Step4

Cutting and Grinding Process

There are many small bubbles on the surface of the dried alumina hollow ball brick. In order to present a smooth and clean surface, Kerui will carry out a careful cutting and polishing process for this soft fire brick. Then the processed bricks will go through a second spot check by the quality inspection department. Kerui will send the bricks without problems after inspection to the customer’s location.

Step5

Package and Delivery Process

After quality inspection, excellent alumina hollow ball bricks will be packaged according to customer requirements and delivered in accordance with the contract. Besides, Kerui supports the customization of brick printing, shipping marks and other items. Meanwhile, Kerui Refractory cooperates with internationally renowned logistics companies to ensure timely delivery of your bubble alumina bricks.
