How It Works
The machine utilizes a hydraulic system to achieve smooth rotation of the loading platform. The platform is equipped with custom V-grooves and hydraulic locking devices to securely hold the furnace in place.
An adjustable clamping fixture at the end prevents any movement during refractory brick replacement, ensuring operational safety and precision. The entire turning process is stable and controllable, fulfilling the high-standard demands of this specific industrial application.
The Challenges
The client faced several core challenges in furnace maintenance:
- The furnace is extremely heavy and uniquely shaped, making safe and stable rotation and positioning difficult with standard equipment;
- Absolute fixation of the furnace is required during refractory brick replacement, as any slippage or vibration poses significant safety risks;
- The harsh mining and metallurgical environment demands exceptional corrosion and heat resistance from the equipment’s surface;
- The client had specific brand and energy efficiency requirements for key components (e.g., the motor).
Solutions
- High-Rigidity Structure: Utilizes a heavy-duty frame and panel to ensure structural stability under a 10-ton load.
- Specialized Fixation Mechanism: Custom V-grooves and hydraulic locks securely hold the furnace from multiple directions, eliminating movement during operation.
- High-Standard Surface Treatment: Strictly adheres to the client’s specified blasting cleanliness, coating system, and film thickness requirements for enhanced durability.
- Client-Specified Components: The pump motor uses the client’s preferred Wannan brand motor meeting their energy efficiency and reliability standards.
- Functional Customization: An adjustable end clamping fixture is added to precisely prevent vibration during the maintenance process.
