As a primary supplier to some of the world’s largest cement producers, HWI has the process knowledge, proven refractory products, and solutions that deliver energy savings, increased campaign life, and efficiency within modern cement plant preheater systems. Our customized refractory lining systems are used in all key clinker production areas; upper cyclones, lower cyclones, meal and air ducts, calciners, risers and kiln
inlets.

Our Value-Added Service (VAS) team can provide a wide range of support, from simple consultation to on-site installation services. We have equipment rental services and a full range of inventory solutions. We can also provide priority access to our Advanced Research and Technology Center testing services. Our role can be customized to your needs. We can step in as simply a refractory product supplier, or we can take the job all the way through installation. You decide.

We have also developed training packages ranging from an introduction to refractories to specialized learning such as anchoring systems to help improve our customers’ understanding of refractories and increase refractory service life.

Since our integration with Calderys, HWI customers now benefit from an overall broadened portfolio including Calderys’ monolithic refractories optimized for your facilities, high alumina bricks from the Haznedar plant near Istanbul, and pre-fabricated parts.
