A Predampener is an essential piece of equipment for refractory and shotcrete applications where consistent material hydration, improved nozzle performance, and reduced rebound are important. The 0-12 tons per hour predampener is designed to efficiently add controlled moisture to gunning materials before they reach the nozzle, helping achieve proper hydration while maintaining high production rates.
High Output Predampener for Consistent Material Preparation
The high output predampener is engineered to add up to 5% moisture to gunning materials. Controlled predampening helps ensure that the material receives adequate hydration at the nozzle while minimizing rebound and improving overall application efficiency.
Its hydrostatic design provides precise control over both material predampening and output. Two solenoid-activated water bars allow operators to adjust the water volume easily according to material and application requirements.
With an output capacity of 0-12 tons per hour, this Predampener is suitable for demanding refractory applications that require reliable and continuous material processing.
Key Features of the Predampener
The high output Predampener is equipped with several features designed to improve productivity, control, and ease of operation:
9-inch hydrostatic predampening auger for consistent moisture distribution
Mixing auger with removable rubber enclosure for efficient material mixing and easier maintenance
Hopper with up to 3,000 lb. capacity and material feed screw
Two solenoid water bars for accurate and adjustable water delivery
20 HP electric motor with disconnect and electrical enclosure
Skid-mounted construction with forklift tubing for convenient handling and positioning
Forklift pickup design for easier transportation around the job site
Recommended by major refractory material manufacturers
0-12 Tons Per Hour Predampener Specifications
The 0-12 tons per hour predampener is designed for high-volume material processing while maintaining controlled moisture addition.
Specification Details
Output 0-12 tons per hour
Mounting Skid mount with forklift pickup
Dimensions 156" x 60" x 72"
Weight 2,800 lbs.
Standard Power 20 HP electric motor
Electrical Options 240V or 480V, 3-phase
Optional Configuration Trailer mounted
Improved Hydration and Reduced Rebound
Proper moisture control is critical during refractory and gunning operations. The Predampener adds a controlled amount of moisture before the material reaches the nozzle, helping improve hydration and application consistency.
By using hydrostatic predampening technology, operators can control the amount of water being introduced into the material. This can contribute to more consistent material preparation and help minimize unnecessary rebound during application.
Durable Design for Industrial Applications
Built for demanding industrial environments, the high output Predampener combines a heavy-duty hopper, mixing auger, material feed screw, water bars, and a powerful 20 HP electric motor.
The skid-mounted design provides flexibility when moving the equipment between locations. Forklift tubing makes the unit easier to pick up and position, while the optional trailer-mounted configuration provides another solution for mobile applications.
Power Options
The Predampener is available with a 20 HP electric motor and can be configured for either 240V or 480V, 3-phase power. This provides flexibility for different industrial power requirements.
Optional Trailer-Mounted Predampener
For applications requiring additional mobility, a trailer-mounted option is available. This configuration can make transportation and relocation more convenient for projects where the equipment needs to be moved between work areas or job sites.
