Tundish Lining Systems
Tundish Lining Systems
Monocon's experience and expertise in the field of tundish linings has resulted in the ability to offer tundish packages to suit any steel making process. These packages can incorporate all or any combination of the following items:
- Monolithic tundish safety lining.
- Basic tundish working linings (wet spray or dry vibratable systems).
- Installation equipment (Manual or fully Robotic/automated).
- Skilled, onsite manpower.
- Design, engineering and technical support.
- Tundish furniture and other precast shapes.
Please contact us if you would like to discuss your Tundish Lining application with our UK engineering team and/or download our Tundish Lining Refractories literature.
Design Features
Tundish Spraying Machine Design Features
The main features of the machine are:-
- A large capacity hopper which is designed to accept 3+ tonnes of material
- Automatic control of mixing and water additions to provide a high consistency of wet sprayed material
- An automatic weighing system to provide the ability to programme precisely the amount of material required per tundish
- A remote weight display unit that allows the operator to observe from the tundish position the amount of material applied during the spray application
The tundish spray machine is fully managed by an on board computer which controls the sequence of events from start to finish and allows for one man to control the entire operation from the nozzle position.
Dry Tundish Lining Machine Design Features
Along with our range of Tundish Spray Materials, Monocon manufacture and supply a range of Heat Set Dry Vibratable products with MgO content ranging from 60% to 90%. The benefits include;
- Water free systems
- Reduced fuel consumption
- Environment benefits
- Low maintenance equipment
- Low manpower installation
Safety Benefit
Technical Specification
Applying Tundish Spray Materials
As important as it is to have a tundish spray material of high integrity it is equally important to have available the means of applying it to the permanent tundish lining. This material is applied by a specially designed spray machine in which water is mixed with dry materials and made into a free flowing homogeneous slurry. This fully wetted slurry is then pumped to a spray nozzle where it is atomised with air and sprayed effectively without rebound loss.
MONOLITE DRYING/PRE-HEATING SCHEDULE
As the MONOLITE lining can be used in a HOT or COLD tundish environment, the drying and pre-heating schedule can be adjusted accordingly. In both drying and pre-heating, care should be taken to apply heat evenly and without flame impingement directly onto the sprayed surface.
