Signature ceramic fire blankets · Visakhapatnam steel belt

Ceramic fire blankets for Visakhapatnam furnace and casting hot work

Furnace-door lay-overs, caster-path layout and melt-side maintenance need finished DSZCF ceramic blankets — not refinery shutdown silicon from the Malkapuram pattern, and not town-house plain stock. 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 plant or stores address on your order.

Refinery silicon and town plain — different orders

Shutdown fire-watch and household smother cover stay on their own city pages.

City pages: silicon fire blanket, plain fire blanket.

Melt-floor jobs that belong on DSZCF

Plan by furnace and casting openings — not refinery permit fire-watch counts. Each row is its own model, size and quantity line on the RFQ.

Steel belt from Ukkunagaram to the eastern cluster

Procurement may show a Vizag office while blankets ship to the melt-floor gate — specification follows the furnace job, not the letterhead city.

Guides and policies

Frequently asked questions

Which DSZCF model fits a reheating furnace door lay-over near Ukkunagaram?

Start with DSZCF4.0 — 4.0 mm, 1500 GSM, SS Metallic Reinforced, listed at 1260 °C to 1760 °C. If slag or radiant load keeps the blanket down for the full outage window, step to DSZCF5.0 at 2500 GSM. Enter length and width in metres on the product page; 1 × 2 m is reference size.

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

Silicon DSZSFG blankets serve refinery shutdown fire-watch and spark cover below about 900 °C — see the Malkapuram and Parawada patterns on that city page. Ceramic DSZCF blankets cover 1260 °C to 1760 °C for furnace-side and casting hot work in the steel belt. Do not mix SKUs on one quotation.

Should we use this or the Visakhapatnam plain fire blanket?

Plain DSZFG suits town households and shop smother cover. Steel melt-floor and furnace maintenance belongs on ceramic DSZCF models here, not the public uncoated fire blanket page.

Is this the same as Visakhapatnam 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 — order from the Signature Ceramic Fire Blanket PDP.

Can ceramic blankets replace welding blankets on caster maintenance?

For high-temperature layout cover near a furnace or caster line, yes. For sustained welding spatter under an active arc, specify welding blankets from the Welding Blanket category. Same temperature numbers on paper do not swap categories.

Is there DSZ stock in Visakhapatnam?

No. We manufacture in Ahmedabad and ship to the steel plant 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 an Andhra Pradesh 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 two furnace openings?

One line per DSZCF model, size and quantity — DSZCF3.0 for light layout moved during the job, DSZCF4.0 for routine furnace-side cover, DSZCF5.0 where slag sits on the face. Do not mix silicon or plain blanket lines on the same ceramic RFQ.

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 name steel plants or claim site certifications here?

No. We do not name customer plants 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 furnace or caster cover for a Vizag steel outage?

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