Proven Design, Unmatched Service Life
When down time is not an option, discerning foundries around the world rely on the proven design of WRIB Copper Coil Tuyeres. Used by the vast majority of iron foundries in the United States, WRIB Cupola Tuyeres offer a long list of advantages that elevate them over the competition.
WRIB Tuyeres are also trusted for high tech specialty applications including plasma torches, gasification systems and natural gas injection.
Advantages of WRIB Tuyere Design:
Highest Conductivity and Reliability
- 99.99% pure extruded copper tubing guarantees absence of internal obstructions and defects, and provides best possible conductivity without requiring phosphorous addition.
Maximum Durability and Strength
- Only the cooling water system is made of copper. Steel is used in other areas, making the tuyere stronger and reducing cost.
Lower Water Requirements
- High velocity cooling water is delivered directly to the tuyere nose, which experiences the most demanding conditions. The result is a more efficient tuyere that reduces overall water usage.
Versatility and Adaptability
- WRIB Copper Coiled Tuyeres don’t require patterns, core boxes or other related foundry equipment. Design changes can be made easily at no charge to the customer.
Industry Leading Service Life
WRIB tuyeres not only last longer, but also decrease the chances of a costly freeze-up or runout. These advantages provide peace of mind to operators, and translate directly to an improvement in the bottom line for our customers.
