Ferrule Systems

One Piece Hex

  • Eliminates the need for monolithic

refractory tube sheet face.

  • Many useful features possible due to

the Blasch precision casting process.

  • Allows for quick inspections and

maintenance.

  • Installs in 1/4th the time over

conventional round installations

  • Quicker refractory cure-out
  • No anchors required = no hot spots
  • Engineered pre-cracked system – will

allow for temp. swings

  • More thermal insulation can be used
  • Engineered for the boiler based on
  • perating conditions

Ceramic Butterfly Valve – case study

Coal fired CFB Powerplant in PA sent us ten 12” Brass Butterfly assemblies. Blasch reverse engineered, designed and built 10 all-ceramic replacement inserts and shipped within 2 months. The brass ones would last

  • nly 6 months in an ash laden piping
  • system. The Blasch Ceramic versions were

inspected after 2 year of use and show little signs of wear.

HexWall Checkerwall – case study

Standard Brick Checkerwalls take several days to install, but fall down constantly due to the mortar crumbling and the bricks shifting/sagging. Blasch designed and patented an interlocking hex shape with T&G

  • joints. Requires no mortar, can grow and

contract, is self supporting, installs in 1/4th the time, can be taken down for repairs and cost 2/3rd that of high alumina brick.
