Alumina hollow ball bricks consist of alumina hollow balls that undergo high-temperature sintering at 1680°C (3056℉). These bricks possess a low density and exhibit excellent thermal insulation properties due to the small density and low thermal conductivity of the alumina hollow balls they are made from.
Alumina bubble is made of high purity alumina powder with fine particles. The manufacturing process of alumina hollow ball involves melting the alumina powder at high temperatures to transform it into a liquid state. This liquid is then blown into small droplets using high-pressure air, which subsequently shrink and solidify at lower temperatures, resulting in the formation of hollow alumina spheres. Meanwhile, alumina bubbles are ideal thermal insulation filling materials for high-temperature kilns and high-quality aggregates for castable refractory.

With new and advanced raw materials, alumina bubble brick can withstand even higher service temperatures. Besides, Kerui adopts Al2O3 with high purity, which also results in high refractoriness. Through advanced manufacturing techniques and strict quality control, Kerui’s alumina bubble brick now offers improved thermal stability, which enables it to maintain integrity in extreme heat environments.
Kerui is able to enhance the thermal insulation performance of its bubbled alumina refractories. As we can know from the name, its surface has many tiny holes. Its unique composition and structure contribute to reduced heat transfer, which results in improved energy efficiency and heat preservation. Meanwhile, Enhancement of this insulation brick allows for better temperature control and reduced heat loss in various industrial applications.
Bulk density of Kerui bubble alumina brick is only 1.1-1.5g/m³. Alumina hollow ball bricks can effectively reduce the weight of kilns. Specifically, when compared to other insulation bricks, the use of alumina hollow ball bricks has resulted in a weight reduction of 1-2 tons. This feature not only facilitates easier handling and installation but also offers potential cost savings.
Kerui has focused on making alumina bubble brick more user-friendly and convenient to handle. The bricks are designed to have consistent dimensions and shapes. This allows easier installation and replacement. Additionally, Kerui provides comprehensive technical support and guidance to ensure proper usage and maximize the benefits of the product.
The inspection of raw materials is strict in Kerui. Only qualified raw materials can be into batching system. We use refractory alumina with high purity, binders and other additives in the production of alumina bubble brick. Besides, it fully automatic batching system control accurate weight and ratio of materials and then send them to mixing system. The mixing process needs about 20 minutes to perform uniform brick pulp.
The fine brick pulp will be transformed to molding workshop. There are more than 20 sets of high-tonnage presses working simultaneously to press the specified shape efficiently and accurately. At this process, Kerui engineers will individually make molds for customers with special needs and efficiently complete the production of customized alumina hollow ball bricks.
Formed bricks need to enter the drying system to evaporate excess water to avoid cracking in the subsequent high-temperature sintering process. Kerui has 2 high temperature tunnel kilns, which can heat the bricks at high efficiency. During the sintering process, alumina hollow ball bricks form a solid and durable structure.
There are many small bubbles on the surface of the dried alumina hollow ball brick. In order to present a smooth and clean surface, Kerui will carry out a careful cutting and polishing process for this soft fire brick. Then the processed bricks will go through a second spot check by the quality inspection department. Kerui will send the bricks without problems after inspection to the customer’s location.
Qualified alumina hollow ball bricks will be packaged according to customer requirements and delivered in accordance with the contract. Kerui supports the customization of brick printing, shipping marks and other items. Meanwhile, It cooperates with internationally renowned logistics companies to ensure timely delivery of goods.
