Refractory Vibration System

Gradmatic Refractory Installation and Vibration System

  • The electric floor vibrator plate is operated from the furnace deck using a control stand
  • No worker enters the confined space of the furnace to hand tamp the floor material
  • The floor material produces a solidly knit floor in approximately
    15-20 minutes (depending on the furnace size)
  • The three-legged sidewall vibrator (4-legged for furnaces larger than 25 -tons) is also operated from the furnace deck.
  • Vibration begins 2 inches (50 mm) from the bottom of the tapered section
  • Vibration concentrated in the tapered section can significantly reduce or eliminate “elephant’s foot” erosion
  • Sidewall vibration can be completed in as little as 16 minutes) depending on the size of the furnace
