Reliable refractory gunning equipment plays an important role in applications where dry gunning materials need controlled moisture addition before reaching the nozzle. The Blastcrete Predampener is designed to add up to 5% moisture to gunning materials to support proper hydration at the nozzle and help minimize rebound.
The Predampener uses a completely hydrostatic system that allows precise material predampening and output control. With a high-capacity hopper, hydrostatic predampening auger, mixing auger, and adjustable water system, it provides a practical solution for demanding refractory material preparation applications.
Blastcrete Predampener for Refractory Applications
The Blastcrete Predampener is designed to work as part of a refractory gunning operation. It conditions gunning materials by introducing a controlled amount of moisture before application.
For contractors evaluating a refractory gunning machine, controlled material preparation can be an important consideration. The Predampener provides adjustable water volume through two solenoid-activated water bars, allowing operators to control the amount of moisture introduced into the material.
Hydrostatic Predampening Technology
At the center of the system is a 9-inch hydrostatic predampening auger. The hydrostatic design allows material predampening and output to be controlled with precision.
The machine also incorporates a mixing auger with a removable rubber enclosure. Together, these components help move and condition material through the system before it proceeds to the gunning application.
Key Features of the Refractory Gunning Equipment
The Blastcrete Predampener includes features designed for industrial refractory material handling:
9-inch hydrostatic predampening auger
Mixing auger with removable rubber enclosure
Hopper capacity of up to 3,000 pounds
Material feed screw
Two solenoid-activated water bars
Adjustable water volume
20 HP electric motor
Electrical disconnect and enclosure
Skid-mounted construction
Forklift pickup tubing
Optional trailer-mounted configuration
Controlled Moisture for Gunning Materials
Proper moisture control is an important part of preparing dry gunning materials. The Blastcrete Predampener is designed to add up to 5% moisture to the material, helping promote hydration at the nozzle while minimizing rebound.
The two solenoid water bars provide a simple method for adjusting water volume. This allows the operator to establish a controlled predampening process based on the material and application requirements.
High-Capacity Refractory Gunning Machine
The Predampener provides an output capacity of 0–12 tons per hour, making it suitable for high-volume material preparation.
Its hopper can accommodate up to 3,000 pounds of material, while the skid-mounted configuration includes forklift pickup capability. These features can simplify equipment handling and positioning in industrial environments.
