 A New Disruptive Innovation Technology

Introducing a new form of refractory coatings supplied in a moist, granulated form that is mixed with water ON-SITE to produce a ready  to use slurry. Unlike traditional premix coating that ship large volumes of water, granulated coatings deliver a concentrated product prepared only when needed. This improves consistency while reducing logistics cost and operational complexity. By separating transportation from preparation, foundries gain the ability to produce coatings exactly when required - without compromising performance.

Key Benefits for Foundries 

Fresh, on-demand preparation

Preparation at the point of use for optimal consistency and performance. 

reduce freight costs

Eliminates shipping water-one truckload replaces approximately two premix loads.

Lower handling requirements 

Less total material to move, store and manage. 

 

 

 

Simplified logistics 

Eliminates Returnable Totes

Eliminates Tanker Endorsements

Eliminates Cleaning and Return Logistics

reduce carbon footprint

Lower transportation volume and packaging requirements

extended shelf life

Up to one year of stable storage

 

 

 

 

 

Equipment and Implementation

Validate Performance. Eliminate Risk.

Our Demo Granulated Preparation Unit (DGPU) allows foundries to experience granulated coating technology in real production conditions -  before committing to full-scale implementation. It is designed for rapid deployment, the DGPU enables evaluation of performance, process compatibility, and operational benefits with minimal disruption. 

Integrated Preparation System (Mixer + GFH)

The Granulated Feed Hopper (GFH) is the material handling component of the system, delivering consistent, controlled feed of granulated coating in the mixer. The same hopper design is used for both trials and full-scale production- ensuring seamless scalability from validation to implementation. 

Together, the GFH and mixing unit from a complete, integrated preparation system designed for both mobility and scale. The system is compact enough for on-site trials, yet robust enough for full production. With PLC-controlled operation, minimal utility requirements, and reduced manual handling, it delivers consistent performance while maximizing efficiency, safety, and throughput.

Learn about Refractory Coatings

A good refractory coating can bring significant value to your operation through improved surface finish or reduced cleaning costs. Refractory coatings are a complex mixture of ingredients in which each plays a part in the final product's application characteristics, stability, surface finish, resistance to cast defects, and cost. Be sure to contact your HAI sales representative to determine which coating best fits your foundry's needs.
