AISI316 Hexmetal for cyclones Lining

Hexmetal is a hexagon shaped grid used in the installation of thick linings. Hexmetal supports the lining and prevents slumps. It retards erosion, corrosion, cracking, blistering, pitting or collapse thereby lengthening the life of the lining. Hexmetal is recommended for use when placement is spaced from the steel shell to allow room for thick insulation between the steel shell and the armored surface. The slots permit passage of the castable which forms a key between adjacent cells. Available in standard and lance pattern.

Our hexmesh or hexmetal can be supplied in flat panels manufactured from the popular 19mm, 25mm or 50mm thick plates and supplied in panels 960X1000mm, 1000X2000mm or rolled and tailored for welding to the walls of cyclones, reactors, furnaces and vessels.

Whether you need standard size panels, custom-shapes or rolled products, Antec has the equipment, expertise and experience to meet your needs quickly and cost-effectively.

Hexmesh Application

As refractories, hex steel mesh has Flexibility, high strength and erosion resistant characteristics. Hex steel mesh is an excellent choice of refractory linings in furnaces, reactors, cyclones, ducts and flues. It is mainly used in power plant, cement plant, Steel, petroleum, chemical industry, power generation and other large devices. The hex metal can largely improve the heat erosion and abrasion resistance.

Hex mesh used for floors, hex mesh provides long term protection for armor applications in industrial floors. Specifically: Loading docks, ramps, high traffic aisles for forklifts and trucks, hot floors for foundry, forge and steel mills, refuse disposal plant floors and almost anywhere floors are subject to severe impact and rolling loads will benefit with Hex mesh.

Since Hex Metal's flexibility allows it to be rolled, it easily conforms to circular shapes. It is ideal for lining Ducts, Furnaces, Reactor Vessels, Cyclones, Flue Gas Lines and other high temperature equipment of virtually any shape or configuration. Hex metal and flex metal refractory linings are both flexible, mesh grating used in reinforcing linings, floors and any cement structures needing added support.
