Refractory - over 800 tons in 2 warehouses 

Storing refractory materials requires precise temperature and humidity controls. Fluctuations can compromise the integrity of these materials and reduce their thermal resistance. It is essential that they be kept in a frost-free, dry, and well-ventilated storage area.

Refractory materials must be stored in an organized manner to ensure quick accessibility. Pallet and shelving systems should be tailored to the weight classes and types of material to allow for proper handling. In particular, heavy stones or bulk items need to be stored so that they are both easily accessible and securely stacked.

Contamination from dust, dirt, or chemical substances can compromise the properties of refractory materials. Therefore, these materials should be stored in specialized protective packaging and kept separate from other industrial raw materials to maintain their quality.

Efficient warehouse management is key to ensuring that the necessary materials are always available. Inventory control systems should be regularly updated to monitor stock levels, expiration dates, and material movements. This helps avoid shortages and enables proactive planning.

Although refractory materials are non-combustible, strict safety measures should still be implemented in storage facilities where they are kept. Fire protection systems, designated safety distances, and clearly marked escape routes must be in place to ensure a swift evacuation in the event of an emergency.
