Tracks: Refractory Systems

For many years, the gunning procedure has been used for the repair of refractory linings. In combination with a gunning manipulator, furnaces, ladles or RH degasser legs can be repaired in hot condition. The advantages of the hot repair are: • Higher gunning rates giving shorter repair times. • Higher quality of application. • Less physical strain on the operators. • Lower risk of accidents. Via integrated TV cameras, the gunning repair can be performed from the operator pulpit and the gunning can be recorded for quality control.
