How Is the Installation Flexibility of Soluble Fiber Modules Achieved?
1. Modular Prefabrication for High Coverage Efficiency
Standard-sized modules (e.g., 300mm × 300mm × 200mm) are pre-compressed and molded, allowing horizontal and vertical splicing to quickly cover irregular surfaces such as furnace chambers and pipelines. For example, installation time in metallurgical vacuum furnaces is reduced by 40%, with gap errors controlled within ±2mm. The pre-compression process densifies the fiber blanket (bulk density 96–128 kg/m³), reducing on-site cutting and ensuring structural stability.
2. Flexible Anchoring System, Adaptable to Various Conditions
Metal Anchors: 310S stainless steel L/Z-type or spring designs, fixed with bolts or welding, suitable for ≤1200°C and low-vibration environments.
Ceramic Anchors: Made of alumina or silicon carbide, resistant to strong acids and alkalis, suitable for chemical environments.
Adjustable Brackets: Telescopic brackets compensate for thermal expansion (adjustable range ±50mm), adapting to furnace deformation.
3. Lightweight Design for Easy Handling
Modules are 60–70% lighter than traditional refractory bricks (8–15 kg per piece), allowing manual handling and reducing reliance on lifting equipment. The flexible fiber structure (bending radius ≥50mm) can conform to curved furnace walls, such as rotary kilns, without custom-shaped pieces. For example, aerospace applications achieve a 25% weight reduction while maintaining recyclability and biodegradability.
4. Easy On-Site Cutting with High Precision
Modules are folded and compressed from soluble fiber blankets, retaining easy-to-cut properties. Utility knives or angle grinders can shape curved, trapezoidal, or irregular pieces. After cutting, edges are sealed with high-temperature adhesive or wrapped with ceramic fiber paper, maintaining ≥90% tensile strength retention and ≤3% dimensional error, improving installation efficiency.
