Reliable refractory material equipment is essential for contractors and industrial operations that require consistent preparation of dry gunning materials. The Blastcrete Predampener is designed to add up to 5% moisture to gunning materials, helping support proper hydration at the nozzle while minimizing rebound.
The Predampener uses a completely hydrostatic system for precise material predampening and output control. With a high-capacity hopper, material feed screw, mixing auger, and adjustable water system, this equipment provides an efficient solution for refractory material preparation.
Blastcrete Predampener for Refractory Materials
The Blastcrete Predampener is designed specifically to condition gunning materials before they reach the application nozzle. Controlled moisture addition can help improve hydration and provide more consistent material preparation during gunning operations.
For facilities searching for dependable refractory material equipment, the Predampener combines material feeding, mixing, and moisture addition in one industrial unit.
Refractory Mixing Equipment with Hydrostatic Operation
The Predampener incorporates a 9-inch hydrostatic predampening auger that provides controlled material conditioning and output. A mixing auger with a removable rubber enclosure works with the feed system to help distribute moisture through the material.
Two solenoid-activated water bars provide adjustable water volume. This allows operators to control the amount of moisture introduced into the gunning material according to application requirements.
Key Features
The Blastcrete Predampener provides several features for demanding refractory material processing:
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
Simple water-volume adjustment
20 HP electric motor
Electrical disconnect and enclosure
Skid-mounted construction with forklift pickup tubing
Optional trailer-mounted configuration
Controlled Moisture Addition
One of the primary functions of this refractory mixing equipment is controlled moisture addition. The Predampener can add up to 5% moisture to gunning materials to help support proper hydration at the nozzle.
The two solenoid water bars provide adjustable water control, while the hydrostatic predampening system is designed to maintain consistent material processing and output.
High-Capacity Refractory Material Equipment
The Blastcrete Predampener has an output capacity of 0–12 tons per hour, making it suitable for high-volume industrial material preparation.
Its hopper can hold up to 3,000 pounds of material, while the skid-mounted configuration provides forklift pickup capability for equipment handling and positioning.
