Refractories for the aluminium industry
Over the last 36 years, GOUDA has been actively involved in the engineering, supply and installation of refractories for almost all the established companies in the aluminium industry. Our philosophy is that the client should achieve optimal return on investment through long life of the refractory lining with relatively low maintenance costs and at the same time have access to a high quality of technical support.

Within the aluminium industry, GOUDA's refractory bricks, castables and prefabricated shapes are used in the following main applications:

	Anode baking furnaces
	Reduction pots and transfer ladles
	Melting/recycling furnaces and holding furnaces
	Materials to consider for the bath area
	Recommendations

GOUDA offers a range of products and services to cover all three major applications for refractories within the aluminium industry:

1. electrolytic cells and transfer ladles

2. melting, recycling and holding furnaces

3. anode baking furnaces

Our extensive research and development - quite often in close co-operation with "technology suppliers" and end-users - and our intensive quality control procedures in our modern plants have resulted in our top quality products being used by primary smelters and remelters all over the world.
