Drilling And Setting The Tap Hole Sleeve Machine

I. Main Functions

• Repairs, reams and trims the taphole channel.

  Rounds and straightens the taphole eroded and deformed by molten steel and slag, ensuring smooth steel tapping without deviation or splashing.

• Installs and replaces the taphole sleeve.

  Accurately installs and firmly fixes a new sleeve through drilling, positioning and press-fitting.

• Removes residual cold steel and slag deposits inside the taphole.

  Prevents blockage and keeps the tapping channel unobstructed for each heat.

• Extends the service life of the taphole.

  Reduces frequent overhauls and improves converter operating rate.

• Enables remote mechanized operation instead of manual work.

  Avoids risks of high temperature, radiation and splashing, making operation safer and more efficient.

II. Typical Application Scenarios

• Daily maintenance and regular trimming of converter tapholes.

• Replacement of worn, burnt or fallen taphole sleeves.

• Repair and reaming of tapholes with enlarged, deformed or deviated bores.

• Cleaning of tapholes blocked by cold steel and slag that hinder smooth tapping.

• Standardized and automated furnace front maintenance in steelmaking and continuous casting production lines.
