SpeedHex® System

Built for abrasion-dominant zones where traditional hex mesh is difficult to weld continuously (corners, terminations, tight geometries) and where loss of retention leads to rapid lining damage. This system is available in a dual alloy configuration, ensuring optimal compatibility with the base alloy.

Is SpeedHex® the right system for your unit?

  • Your lining is exposed to severe abrasion/erosion

  • Typical units: FCC cyclones, risers, transfer lines, abrasion-prone ducts

  • You have corners/terminations/tight access where continuous welds are difficult

  • You want a system (primary anchor + geometry/termination components) instead of single items

The SpeedHex® System comprises (project-dependent):
  • SpeedHex® 3 for heavy-duty abrasion service and zones that need strong refractory retention under higher wear conditions

  • SpeedHex® 6 for extensive repair zones and smaller turnaround crews

  • SpeedHex® Mini for tight geometries, smaller surfaces, and restricted-access areas where standard formats are difficult to apply

  • Auxiliary components like SpeedTab® for terminations, edges, and corners; SpeedClip for old hex retention and failure prevention, and SpeedHextension for transition linings and unique problems.

How it works: In high-impact zones, failure often starts at weak spots such as edges or transitions. The SpeedHex® system addresses this by creating a more continuous anchoring structure, ensuring the refractory remains securely fixed even in complex geometries. By minimizing these local weak points, it helps prevent small breakouts from developing into larger failures.
