Abstract

Abstract An improvement in a process for forming a refractory lining on the interior walls of the metallurgical vessel which interior walls are coaxial to the principal axis of the vessel wherein a refractory mass containing a binder is centrifugally slung onto the interior walls in a direction normal thereto while the vessel is at a standstill is disclosed. According to the invention, the refractory mass is initially shaped into balls prior to being centrifugally slung and the balls are centrifugally slung in rapid succession to form a mass jet. Also disclosed, is a device for so slinging a refractory mass on the walls of a vessel comprising a slinger head having a slinger wheel and a motor and at least one supply conduit for supplying refractory mass to be slung. The slinger wheel of the slinger head is disposed on one end of a shaft which shaft is extendable into a vessel, the slinger wheel being connected to an actuatable by a slinger motor. The slinger unit includes a slinger head, the shaft and the slinger motor as well as the supply conduit and is rotatable about the axis which extends in the direction of the entrance to the vessel.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 69 words
A process for forming a refractory liner on the interior wall of a vessel which interior wall is co-axial to the principal axis of the vessel which comprises initially shaping a refractory mass into lumps, thereafter slinging said lumps centrifugally onto said interior wall in a direction normal thereto while said vessel is at a standstill, the refractory mass being slung in rapid succession to form a mass jet.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 69 words
A process for forming a refractory liner on the interior wall of a vessel which interior wall is co-axial to the principal axis of the vessel which comprises initially shaping a refractory mass into lumps, thereafter slinging said lumps centrifugally onto said interior wall in a direction normal thereto while said vessel is at a standstill, the refractory mass being slung in rapid succession to form a mass jet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein said lumps are slung at a velocity of at least 40 lumps per second.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 36 words
A process according to claim 2 wherein the lumps are applied to the vessel wall so that succeeding lumps overlap each other on at least 30 percent of the area occupied by lump on said wall.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 17 words
A process according to claim 2 wherein the weight of each lump is at least 150 grams.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 16 words
A process according to claim 4 wherein the weight of each lump is between 150-450 grams.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 16 words
A process according to claim 5 wherein the weight of each lump is between 280-360 grams.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 25 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the slinging plane is substantially normal to the plane of the wall to which the lumps are slung.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 16 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the lumps are supplied helically to the vessel wall.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 17 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein said mass jet is slung onto a hot vessel wall.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 45 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the source of said refractory mass which is slung centrifugally against the walls in a direction normal to the walls is moved along the path of the wall so as to coat successive portions of said interior wall.
