Nicro’s commitment to innovation has led to many new and improved products for the submerged arc furnace industry.
Thorough analysis of clients’ particular problems and requirements enables us to offer solutions in the form of well-designed and engineered components.
Because of the typically harsh conditions experienced on furnaces’ our products are also robust yet maintenance-friendly.
Contact Shoes
Nicro was the first company in South Africa to manufacture contact shoes from rolled/forged slab material, removing the inherent problems associated with cast copper. These contact shoes have a 98% minimum conductivity with the water passages being drilled to allow for maximum cooling.
Throughout the submerged arc industry, we have redesigned and replaced many old style contact shoes, improving clients' power input and baking profiles.
Features:
Rolled/forged high conductivity copper with a refined grain structure.
Water passages drilled directly into the material to be cooled.
Conductivity of 98% ICAS minimum means increased electrical transfer/exceptional conductivity.
Machined to electrode diameter creates good contact.
Refurbishment of existing contact shoes carried out.
