I. Equipment Definition: The "Precision Doctor" for Converter Maintenance

The converter rotor gunning machine is a high-temperature furnace lining repair equipment specifically designed for the iron and steel smelting industry. Its core operation relies on the coordinated work of a rotor-type feeding system and a high-pressure injection mechanism, enabling rapid repair of the molten wear areas on the converter lining in a high-temperature environment of 1200°C. It can accurately fill cracks and pits in the furnace lining, restore the refractory performance of the furnace body, and serves as a key piece of equipment for reducing furnace shutdowns for overhauls and improving steelmaking efficiency. It is widely applicable to both hot and cold repair operations of converters, electric furnaces, and ladles.

II. Core Structure: A Precision Architecture with Multi-System Collaboration8f222018bf61bf720d51a85a9eac8969

The efficient operation of the converter rotor gunning machine depends on the organic cooperation of six core systems, where each component has a clear function and close linkage:
  • Power and Travel System: Equipped with a 36KW four-stroke diesel engine as the power source, combined with a crawler chassis and hydraulic motor drive, it enables the entire vehicle to move, steer, and brake, adapting to the complex ground environment of steel plants.

  • Hydraulic and Electrical Control System: Adopts a 16MPa hydraulic piston pump to provide pressure. Through the electrical control system, it realizes ±110° rotation of the upper vehicle, movement of the injection pipe, and switching of operation modes, supporting both on-vehicle manual operation and off-vehicle line control.

  • Injection Execution System: Composed of two-stage (large and small) telescopic injection pipes with a total stroke of 12m, it can achieve ±170° rotation and tilt angles of 12° upward/20° downward, ensuring the nozzle accurately covers key parts of the furnace such as trunnions and molten pools.

  • Feeding and Mixing System: Includes a material tank, a quantitative feeder, and a mixer. After the gunning material is conveyed by the rotor-type feeder, it is mixed with 12-15% high-pressure water in the mixer to form a paste-like mixture, which is then sprayed out at high speed through the spray gun.

III. Working Principle: Efficient Repair Logic in High-Temperature Environments2c45f86c6b22dad19447fb53190a8e7c

The converter rotor gunning machine completes the repair process through four steps: "Precise Feeding → High-Pressure Mixing → Directional Injection → Rapid Sintering":
  1. Raw Material Supply: Refractory gunning materials (magnesium-based, aluminum-based, etc.) are loaded into the material tank and conveyed quantitatively by the rotor-type feeder at a rate of 0.5-1m³/h.

  2. Gas-Liquid Mixing: After the powder enters the mixer, it is uniformly mixed with cooling water delivered by a high-pressure water pump to form a paste-like material with strong adhesion.

  3. Directional Injection: The paste is sprayed at high speed through a high-temperature-resistant spray gun onto the damaged parts of the furnace lining. A cooling jacket on the outer layer of the spray gun is filled with cooling water to prevent damage from high temperatures.

  4. Instant Forming: The sprayed layer is sintered and solidified within 10 minutes under the high temperature of the furnace body, forming a dense refractory repair layer.

IV. Technical Advantages: Reshaping Converter Maintenance Efficiency and Costs

Compared with traditional manual repair or wet gunning, the converter rotor gunning machine demonstrates significant advantages:
  • Strong High-Temperature Adaptability: It can operate directly in a hot environment above 1000°C without the need for furnace shutdown and cooling, greatly shortening the furnace repair time.

  • Outstanding Repair Efficiency: Its operation efficiency is 10 times that of manual roller brushing. It can complete the gunning of one ton of material in 10 minutes and only requires two operators.

  • Significant Economy: It extends the furnace service life by more than 30%, reduces the consumption of refractory materials, lowers the maintenance cost per ton of steel, and at the same time reduces the labor intensity of workers.

  • Low Operation and Maintenance Costs: The all-pneumatic model has no transmission components and requires no lubrication, resulting in a low failure rate. Maintenance only involves regular inspection of wear on the material tank and spray gun.

V. Application Scenarios and Industry Value

This equipment is mainly used for furnace lining maintenance throughout the entire converter steelmaking process, and is particularly suitable for the following scenarios:
  • Hot Emergency Repair: Immediately repair the molten wear areas of the furnace lining after slag tapping, without interrupting production.

  • Key Part Maintenance: Conduct regular reinforcement on vulnerable areas such as trunnions and slag lines to prevent sudden damage.

  • Multi-Equipment Compatibility: Can be used for both cold and hot repair of electric furnaces, ladles, mixer furnaces, and iron tapping spouts, realizing multi-purpose use of one machine.

In iron and steel enterprises, the converter rotor gunning machine reduces the number of furnace shutdowns and improves the operation rate. A single furnace can increase steel output by hundreds of tons per year, while reducing the consumption of refractory materials by more than 20%, making it a core equipment for enhancing the economic efficiency of smelting.
