Disclosed are a fibrous insulation block which can improve work efficiency of lining construction in various types of refractory furnace in iron works, and a construction method for a heated furnace-surface lining using the same. Specifically disclosed is a fibrous insulation block which comprises: a unit block (2) formed by laminating fibrous insulation blankets under pressure; a packing material (3) which has a pressing surface abutting section (5) covering at least a part of each pressing surface (2a, 2b) which are the side surfaces of the unit block in the direction in which the blankets are laminated, and a heating surface protection section (6) connected to the pressing surface abutting section so as to cover at least a part of a heating surface (2c) of the unit block, and in which a boundary section (7) between the pressing surface abutting section and the heating surface protection section covers an angle section formed by the pressing surfaces and the heating surface of the unit block; and a binding band (4) which maintains the shape of the unit block (2) using the packing material (3). The heating surface protection section (6) of the packing material (3) can be moved by the removal of the binding band and disposed on the same plane as the pressing surface abutting section, and has handhold sections (10) provided therein.

A system for production of customizable refractory bricks in an automated fashion is described. The system receives refractory bricks, measures and performs quality control inspections and rejects out of specification bricks. The system planes the bricks to a consistent height and performs one or more machining operations to grind the bricks into a final shape before conveying the bricks for assembly in the order required for assembly rather than in a batch process.

A refractory layer structure includes a layer of refractory blocks locked by each other in a tessellated pattern.

A refractory layer structure includes a plurality of refractory layers stacked on each other. Each of the refractory layers includes refractory bricks. Each of the refractory bricks is formed as a cuboid having a pair of oppositely positioned first diverging sides and a pair of oppositely positioned second diverging sides. The first diverging sides diverge away from each other from a top to a bottom of the refractory bricks. The second diverging sides diverge away from each other from the bottom to the top of the refractory bricks. The first diverging sides and the second diverging sides are connected to each other. Each of the first diverging sides have a first diverging side protrusion projecting from a top surface thereof. Each of the second diverging sides have a second diverging side protrusion projecting from a top surface thereof.
