Nozzle Fill Sand
Ladle Nozzle Fill Sand
Our ladle nozzle fill sands have been developed to meet the needs of steel making facilities worldwide. Each blend is carefully designed to enhance the free flow of steel from the ladle regardless of steelmaking practices. This is achieved through custom blending which affords each customer a product specific to their manufacturing needs. Working with each customer we can evaluate and offer a sand product to optimize their free open performance.
Equally important to supplying the right sand is using an effective delivery method to ensure the sand reaches the target area. AJF Inc. has supplied innovative delivery solutions to World Class Steel Makers in order to provide proper sand placement.
“We aren’t just in the sand business…we’re in the free open business!”
