High-volume refractory gunning applications require reliable equipment capable of handling substantial quantities of material while maintaining controlled moisture addition. A 12 tons per hour refractory predampener provides a dedicated solution for predampening gunning materials before nozzle application.
The Blastcrete Predampener is designed to add up to 5% moisture to gunning materials to support proper hydration at the nozzle while helping minimize rebound. Its completely hydrostatic design allows precise material predampening and output control, while two solenoid-activated water bars provide simple water-volume adjustment.
12 Tons Per Hour Refractory Predampener
The Blastcrete Predampener has an output range of 0-12 tons per hour, making it suitable for high-volume refractory material preparation.
The system combines material feeding, hydrostatic predampening, controlled water addition, and mixing. This integrated design allows operators to prepare gunning materials before they reach the nozzle.
With a hopper capacity of up to 3,000 pounds, the equipment is designed to handle substantial material loads while maintaining controlled processing.
Controlled Moisture Addition
The Predampener can add up to 5% moisture to gunning materials.
Two solenoid-activated water bars provide controlled water delivery, with simple water-volume adjustment. This allows operators to manage moisture addition according to the requirements of the refractory application.
Controlled predampening is designed to support proper hydration at the nozzle while helping minimize rebound.
Hydrostatic Predampening Auger
A 9-inch hydrostatic predampening auger is a key component of the system.
The completely hydrostatic design provides precise control over material predampening and output. As material moves through the system, controlled water is introduced through the two solenoid water bars.
This provides an integrated process for preparing refractory gunning material before application.
3,000-Pound Hopper With Material Feed Screw
The Predampener features a hopper with capacity of up to 3,000 pounds.
An integrated material feed screw helps move gunning material from the hopper through the predampening and mixing system.
The combination of a large hopper and up to 12 tons-per-hour output supports high-volume material handling for industrial refractory applications.
Mixing Auger With Removable Rubber Enclosure
The equipment includes a mixing auger with a removable rubber enclosure.
The mixing auger helps distribute added moisture through the material during processing. The removable enclosure provides access for inspection and maintenance.
Together with the hydrostatic predampening auger, the mixing system helps prepare material before it reaches the nozzle.
Two Solenoid Water Bars
The Predampener is equipped with two solenoid water bars.
These water bars provide controlled water delivery and simple water-volume adjustment. Operators can regulate water addition according to the application requirements.
The system is designed to add up to 5% moisture to gunning materials.

Supporting Proper Hydration at the Nozzle
The Predampener is designed to add controlled moisture to gunning materials before nozzle application.
The hydrostatic predampening system and adjustable water bars provide operators with control over moisture addition and material output. The equipment is designed to support proper hydration at the nozzle while helping minimize rebound.
Selecting a 12 Tons Per Hour Predampener
When selecting a 12 tons per hour refractory predampener, consider required production capacity, hopper size, moisture-control requirements, electrical supply, mounting configuration, and available operating space.
The Blastcrete Predampener provides an output range of 0-12 tons per hour, a 3,000-pound hopper, a 9-inch hydrostatic predampening auger, two solenoid water bars, and a 20 HP electric motor.
These features provide an integrated solution for high-volume refractory gunning material preparation.
