Bottle car relining is a service that Schad offers on an ongoing basis as an embedded contractor.
For many clients, refractory maintenance is not done on a project by project basis. Rather, it’s a continuous operation. For these customers, Schad is an “embedded contractor.”
This means that we provide continuous support for their operation and maintenance staff. One service Schad provides on a regular basis is a bottle car reline at steel mills.
Bottle cars transport molten iron from one part of the mill to another for processing.
Pouring molten metal into the bottle car and transporting it can be very hard on refractory materials. The bottle cars often experience thermal shock and large impacts. As a result, they need quite a bit of maintenance. Occasionally, they need to be relined.
