Hanger/shoulder bricks are specialized refractory bricks designed to provide support and lining within industrial furnaces and kilns. These bricks are strategically placed in areas where structural support is needed, such as at the transition points between the vertical walls and the arch of a furnace.

The name “hanger/shoulder” comes from their role in supporting the weight of the furnace’s refractory lining and the materials being processed. These bricks form a transition between the vertical sidewalls and the curved arch of the furnace, maintaining structural integrity and distributing the load evenly.

Hanger/shoulder bricks are crafted from high-quality refractory materials to withstand the extreme temperatures, mechanical stresses, and chemical reactions that occur within industrial furnaces. They are carefully designed to handle both the weight of the lining and the impact of thermal expansion and contraction during heating and cooling cycles.

These bricks play a crucial role in ensuring the stability and longevity of furnaces and kilns used in industries like steel, glass, ceramics, and more. Their precise design and strategic placement contribute to efficient heat containment and reliable operation, ultimately impacting the quality and consistency of the processes they support.
