Main Features of Taphole Clay
1. High Temperature Resistance: Taphole clay can withstand extremely high temperatures, usually above 1000℃, ensuring that it does not soften or melt in high temperature environments.
2. Corrosion Resistance: It can resist the erosion of molten iron and slag, extending the service life of the taphole.
3. Good Plasticity: Taphole clay has good plasticity, which is convenient for filling the gaps of the taphole during construction, and can form a dense protective layer at high temperatures.
1. Powerful Mixing and Shearing Capabilities
Two powerful blades of sigma mixer can apply sufficient shear force to mix viscous materials and evenly disperse fillers, binders and additives throughout the mixture. Taphole clay needs to have a high degree of uniformity and consistency to ensure performance in high temperature and pressure environments.
2. High Viscosity Material Handling Capabilities
Sigma mixer excels in handling high viscosity materials, such as taphole clay, which needs to maintain a high plasticity during production. The machine design usually includes a powerful drive system and high wear-resistant materials to cope with the high viscosity and high abrasiveness of the material.
3. Wear and Corrosion Resistant Materials
Since taphole clay usually contains a high proportion of abrasive fillers, the internal contact surfaces of sigma mixer need to use wear and corrosion resistant materials, such as stainless steel or carbide, to extend the service life of the equipment.
4.Temperature Control System
When producing taphole clay, it is crucial to control the temperature of the material. Sigma mixer is usually equipped with jackets or internal cooling systems to ensure that the materials are kept at a suitable temperature during the mixing process to prevent overheating or degradation.
5. Closed Design
Sigma mixer usually has a closed design to prevent material spillage or contamination, ensuring a clean working environment and safe operation. For blast furnace operations, a well-sealed sigma mixer can also prevent the leakage of harmful gases.
6. Heavy-duty Design
Since the production of taphole clay involves handling very heavy materials, sigma mixers are usually designed as heavy-duty equipment that can withstand high loads and maintain stability during long-term operation.
JCT Machinery sigma mixers have a maximum capacity of 5000L and are very suitable for the production of taphole clay.
