Signature ceramic fire blankets · Howrah foundry belt

Ceramic fire blankets for Howrah foundry furnace-side hot work

Cupola spout repairs, furnace-door lay-overs and temporary radiant layout on the melt floor need a finished ceramic blanket — not the silicon fire-watch pieces used in fabrication bays, and not the uncoated blankets stocked for home cupboards. Signature Ceramic Fire Blanket ships as DSZCF3.0, DSZCF4.0 and DSZCF5.0: white, SS Metallic Reinforced, listed at 1260 °C to 1760 °C. Manufactured in Ahmedabad and dispatched to the foundry or stores address on your order.

Silicon and plain blankets — different jobs

Fabrication fire-watch and home smother cover stay on their own product lines. Compare siblings before you mix SKUs on one foundry quotation.

City pages: silicon fire blanket for fab and yard work; plain fire blanket for home and shop cover.

Furnace-side jobs on the Howrah melt floor

Plan by where the blanket sits relative to molten metal and radiant heat — not by welder headcount. Each row is a finished blanket order with model, size and quantity on its own line.

Foundry pockets from Liluah to Uluberia

Kolkata procurement often ships to Howrah melt floors. The blanket specification follows the furnace job, not the city name on the letterhead.

  • Liluah and Belgachia

    Howrah foundry and re-rolling belt

    Cupola maintenance, spout repairs and in-house fitter hot work beside running melt equipment.

    Blanket line: DSZCF4.0 at the spout; DSZCF5.0 if slag pools on the face

  • Salkia and Dasnagar

    Engineering shops bordering foundry lanes

    Furnace-side cover when maintenance welding happens metres from a pour line — not the same as a fabrication bay fire-watch.

    Blanket line: Ceramic blanket for furnace-side layout; silicon page for daily fab fire-watch

  • Jangalpur and Shibpur

    Howrah industrial pockets with small cupolas

    Short lining campaigns where a blanket must sit on hot refractory without a full enclosure.

    Blanket line: DSZCF3.0 for light layout; step up when the piece stays down under radiant heat

  • Uluberia Industrial Park

    WBIIDC units with captive melt or heat-treat

    Planned shutdowns with multiple furnace openings to cover in one order.

    Blanket line: One quotation line per opening size and DSZCF model

  • Kolkata-side maintenance stores

    Corporate stores feeding Howrah melt floors

    Central procurement for several foundry sites — ship to the melt floor address on the PO.

    Blanket line: Model and size on each line; Ahmedabad dispatch after payment

DSZCF models — three builds, one ceramic family

All three models are white with SS Metallic Reinforced construction. Thickness and GSM increase from DSZCF3.0 to DSZCF5.0. For selection logic across blanket families, see how to choose a fire blanket.

Pick the right Signature line before you quote

Mixing blanket families on one foundry RFQ creates the wrong temperature band on the floor. Use the fork below, then open the product or city page that matches the job.

Order flow for a West Bengal foundry team

Four steps from job definition to dispatch — same whether the PO shows a Kolkata office or a Howrah melt-floor gate.

  1. Step 1

    Pick the melt-side job

    Spout cover, door lay-over, ladle-path layout or stores spare — one job type per quotation line.

  2. Step 2

    Select DSZCF model

    3.0 for light layout, 4.0 for routine furnace-side cover, 5.0 under heavy slag or long radiant exposure.

  3. Step 3

    Enter L×W and quantity

    Metres on the product page. Reference format 1 × 2 m — order the finished size for each piece.

  4. Step 4

    Pay and ship to the foundry

    Processing 1–2 business days after payment. Courier bands on the shipping policy are estimates only.

Foundry heat context: metal and foundry industry page. Sustained welding spatter under an active arc may still need a welding blanket — do not swap categories because the temperature numbers look similar on paper.

What to send for a quotation

One line per opening, model and size. These four fields let us quote several cupola or furnace lines in one pass.

Foundry or site
Howrah melt floor, cupola line or central stores — delivery address on the PO.
Job and model
Spout, door, ladle path, etc., with DSZCF3.0, 4.0 or 5.0 per line.
Length × width
Metres for each blanket. A second opening is a second line.
Quantity
Pieces per size, plus stores spares if required.

Frequently asked questions

Howrah foundry and Kolkata procurement teams ordering ceramic fire blankets.

Which DSZCF model fits cupola spout cover during a Howrah lining repair?

Start with DSZCF4.0 — 4.0 mm, 1500 GSM, SS Metallic Reinforced, listed at 1260 °C to 1760 °C. If the blanket stays down under heavy slag splash, step to DSZCF5.0 at 2500 GSM. Enter length and width in metres on the product page; 1 × 2 m is the reference format, not the only size.

How is this different from the Kolkata silicon fire blanket page?

Silicon DSZSFG blankets serve fabrication-shop fire-watch at roughly 650–900 °C. Ceramic DSZCF blankets cover 1260 °C to 1760 °C for furnace-side and foundry hot work. A Dasnagar fab bay and a Liluah cupola spout are different quotation lines.

Should we order this or the Kolkata plain fire blanket?

Plain DSZFG suits home and shop smother cover below about 900 °C. Furnace-side and molten-metal radiant work in Howrah foundries belongs on ceramic DSZCF models on this page, not the public uncoated fire blanket page.

Is this the same as Kolkata ceramic fiber fabric?

No. Ceramic fiber fabric is roll cloth by the square metre with more thickness builds and a non-metallic option. This product is the finished ceramic fire blanket sold per piece with SS Metallic Reinforced construction — order from this PDP, not by model number alone.

Can we use ceramic blankets instead of welding blankets on the melt floor?

For high-temperature cover layout near a furnace, yes. For sustained welding spatter under an active arc, specify welding blankets — vermiculite-coated DSZVCF builds in the Welding Blanket category. Same temperature language on paper does not swap categories.

Is there DSZ stock in Howrah or Kolkata?

No. We manufacture in Ahmedabad and ship to the foundry or stores address on the order. No local shelf. Need it urgently? Contact our sales team to discuss your requirement and available dispatch options.

When does a West Bengal order leave Ahmedabad?

Processing is 1–2 business days after payment. Shipping policy courier estimates are 1–3 days local, 2–5 within the state and 3–7 for the rest of India — estimates only. Quotation confirms dispatch, not arrival day.

How do we write quantities for three cupola lines?

One line per DSZCF model, size and quantity — DSZCF3.0 for light fire-watch layout, DSZCF4.0 for routine furnace-side cover, DSZCF5.0 where the piece stays down under slag. Do not mix silicon or plain blanket SKUs on the same ceramic quotation.

What should crews inspect before each use?

Check the white face and edges for burns, holes or pulled reinforcement wire. Retire blankets with compromised fibre or SS reinforcement — there is no fixed reuse cycle on the spec sheet.

Do you invent foundry or furnace certifications on this page?

No. We do not name customer foundries or claim site-specific approvals. Company ISO 9001:2015 supports vendor onboarding on /certificates. Put any tender standard on the RFQ for confirmation against live product panels only.

Planning cupola cover or furnace-door layout in Howrah?

Send each opening, DSZCF model, L×W in metres and delivery address. We quote ceramic blankets from Ahmedabad — no local shelf required to order.
