Wire Formed Anchors
Design
Configured to suit all light, medium and dense refractories in providing maximum support during refractory application and maximum retention of refractories during plant service. Consideration is given to expansion, heat transfer, method of application, environmental conditions and design of host unit for individual applications, standard designs are defined in our data sheet catalogue. Anchors are designed for Manual and Semi-Automatic Welding.
Application
The range of applications is limited only by the structural strength of the anchor section. The maximum section size of CAUSEWAY wire formed anchors is 9.5mm. Typical applications include furnaces, ductwork, heaters, reactors; in fact, most process plant.

Plate Formed Anchors
Design
CAUSEWAY PLATE ANCHORS are divided into Metallic Anchors and Ceramic Supports. The Metallic Anchors are designed typically for ceramic fibre and for light and medium weight refractories, again configured to provide maximum retention during plant service. The Ceramic Anchor Supports ’C’ Clips are designed to retain most standard pattern ceramic anchors (Scissor Clip types are available as wire formed).
Application
Mainly for light and medium weight duties, their typically small cross sectional area provides low heat transfer with section size providing ease of both manual and semi-automatic welding.
‘C’ Clips retain ceramic anchors used for anchoring mouldable refractories.

Rod Formed Anchors / Studs
Design
CAUSEWAY FORMED ANCHORS above 9.5mm section are termed ‘ROD’ formed. Heavy weight anchors are used only in the most arduous conditions. They are designed to provide support and attachment of refractory pre-cast sections to plant steelwork, and provide an effective anchoring system in high stress situations. Their design shape minimises and controls heat transfer and thus provides maximum strength and elevated temperatures.
Application
Refractory lining situations that have attendant high live loads such as Rotary Kilns; deep roof and side wall lining of dense refractories requiring maximum support during operating conditions; heavy weight pre-cast blocks retained by bolt through, weld on and slip on systems.
