Mud Gun / Clay Gun Hydraulic Cylinder
Mud Gun or Clay Gun is a cast iron mud gun machine performs one of the most important and responsible operations in blast furnace production – the guaranteed taphole plugging. Our equipment is specially designed for extremely difficult working conditions. A steam cylinder operates a plunger inside a steel tube into which clay is fed from a hopper tube as the plunger is worked back and forth, and is thus forced into the taphole at the end of a cast. The forces developed by the hydraulic drives of the machine guarantee efficient and reliable operation with any modern and high-strength taphole clay.
Brant Hydraulics designs its equipment according to the specific parameters of each client's blast furnace. Each machine is fully compliant with modern Blast Furnace production processes and meets the necessary specifications. Ultra high wear resistant barrels and barrel sleeve solutions exceed standard barrel lifetime by multiple times. Multiple performance levels and sizes are readily available to optimally match your blast furnace requirements.
By application of high performance tempering technolgy even the most demanding clay masses can be processed. For many years, customers have noted reliability, high quality, long periods of trouble-free operation, ease of maintenance and a high level of maintainability of the Brant Hydraulics plugging machines.
