Domestic Engineered Solutions for Your Toughest Precast Challenges: Intro
Why choose Onex for your precast needs?
If you’re plagued by capacity issues with your precast delivery needs, there is a U.S. option with resources and space! Onex offers unique mold-making with rapid prototyping right from our Pennsylvania manufacturing facility.
We know that as a high-use part in manufacturing, precast refractory shapes are subject to a variety of stressors: temperature variation, mechanical stresses, potential chemical attack, erosion mechanisms, and expansion. We’ve got the solution with our professional 5-part precast system.
What is precast and why is it so important?
Precast refractory shapes are high-temperature ceramic shapes that are designed to hold or contain high temperatures; i.e., the molten metal in foundries, steel forging, or other high-heat applications. Precast shapes are a vital consumable product needed in the making of any cast or formed metal product.
Onex, Inc. – a Domestic Source for Engineered Precast Solutions
As a high-use part in manufacturing, a precast refractory shape will be subject to temperature variation, mechanical stresses, potential chemical attack, erosion mechanisms, and expansion. All shapes are a unique combination of water content, mixing time, and vibration as well as the length of time the shape sets before it can be stripped out of its mold. Creating a precast that endures through heavy use and daily tolerance stress requires attention to detail and expertise at every step of the 5-stage process: design, form, cast, fire, and ship.
Ensuring each of the 5 processes takes into account all the specifications required for the final application – whether for steel, iron, ceramic, or other industry use – is the recipe for success. Working with the client and leveraging our expertise, Onex’s team mixes up a recipe that comes together to make the right shape for your exact needs.
Creating a precast that can stand up to heavy use and daily tolerance stress requires attention to detail and expertise to design and manufacture a precast product that meets your specific production needs. With over 55 years of experience, unbiased material sourcing, a tightly controlled process, and rapid prototyping capabilities, Onex has you covered with precast shapes that won't fail and disrupt production.
There is an easier way to keep your furnace lit and productive. New technology and an innovative process have made it possible for Onex to significantly cut your lead time, lower tooling costs, and still deliver a product with far superior performance. This combination of technology, process, and experience allows Onex to design and manufacture shapes that are more complex and more durable than ever before!
