3. The new Easy Dry (ED) refractory
concretes have been developed and
tested successfully. The results in
everyday use are convincing:
• Suitable for all static areas of the cement
­clinker production line, including kiln inlet
and outlet
• Applicable with all installation procedures
• Meeting the demands for fast heat-up and
re-commissioning
• Significant energy savings
• Simple storage and easy handling

5. EASY DRY (ED) –
Five tangible benefits.
Significant
energy savings
• Fast re-commissioning
thanks to short installation
and drying times
• Minimized heat-up risks
Simple
application
• Simple mixing with water
• Only one component,
no additional binder
• No additional equipment
• Short installation time
• For all installation methods
• Most of the mixing water
is physically bonded.
Unproblematic
storage
• Storage time up to 2 years
• Insensitive single-component
system, also when stored
in winter
• Available in bags or big bags
