Sila SRC Kiln Tip Casting

Breakdown-free, proven longevity.

An efficient, effective kiln outlet solution. Extended asset life. Reduced downtime. Lower maintenance costs

Introduction

Also known as kiln outlet nose rings, Sila Tip Casting Blocks (TCBs) use our proprietary Super Reinforced Ceramic technology – a combination of advanced high-temperature ceramics with up to 30% stainless steel fibres – to provide chemical resistance and enhanced mechanical strength.

Our TCBs are 3D-modelled for a perfect fit, come pre-fired, are ready to install within 24 hours, and are compatible with any kiln design.

Why TCBs?

Our clients who invest in TCBs are major players in the cement industry who are focused on minimising costs and maximising operational reliability.

Their operations face extreme mechanical stress, chemical erosion, thermal shock, and mechanical flexing — and they are seeking to mitigate these risks.

The results

Sila has completed over 250 installations of TCBS, each overseen by expert engineers. They have been a game-changer for our clients, providing stoppage-free long-term performance:

  • Downtime Reduction and Efficiency: TCBs reduce downtime and enhance operational efficiency.
  • Return on Investment: Our clients typically see an average return on investment of 18 months.
  • Reliable Lifespan: The product lifespan ranges from 24 to 42 months.
