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
