In blast furnace operations, gunning mud quality directly impacts furnace stability. SIHYDE Automation's automated gunning mud batching line delivers reliable production solutions for the refractory industry through technological innovation and efficient design.
I. Multi-Bin Coordination & Anti-Blocking Technology: Flexible Adaptation, Stable Feeding
The production line integrates 30 standardized bins, accommodating materials of varying densities such as high-alumina clinker and silica fume. Level sensors, vibrators, and pneumatic cleaning devices ensure stable raw material conveyance. To address bridging issues in powdered materials, a composite arch-breaking anti-blocking technology is employed. This combines pneumatic blowing with mechanical vibration mechanisms. Aggregate silos utilize high-frequency vibration for forced discharge, while powder silos incorporate WAM level monitoring and air disc flow aids to ensure continuous feeding and minimize production interruptions.
II. Precision Metering & Sealed Dust Suppression: Consistent Quality, Environmental Compliance
The production line employs a 0.5% precision segmented metering system. Combining coarse feeding via screw conveyors with fine flow rate adjustment by vibrating feeders achieves dynamic error ≤±0.5%. A closed-loop feedback system transmits real-time data from pressure sensors to Siemens PLCs, enabling pneumatic butterfly valves to precisely regulate flow and ensure formula consistency. A fully enclosed dust suppression system isolates dust at the source. Pulse-jet dust collectors cover operations from feeding to packaging, while galvanized ductwork and corrugated hoses direct particle capture, creating a clean production environment that meets environmental standards.
III. Flexible Scheduling and Intelligent Control: Efficient Production with Reduced Intervention
The flexible intelligent production line supports coordinated configuration of powder and aggregate silos, handling up to 30 raw materials simultaneously for flexible formula switching. The central control platform integrates formula recall, variable frequency linkage, and production traceability via Siemens PLC and a 15-inch touchscreen, reducing manual intervention by 30% and significantly boosting efficiency.
IV. Robotic Palletizing and Integrated Optimization: Cost Reduction, Efficiency Enhancement, and Smart Upgrades
The production line integrates a full-stack robotic palletizing system. Open-mouth bag packaging machines automatically fold and sew edges, while Estun robots perform single-gripper palletizing. The bag pressing and shaping machine coordinates with the palletizing conveyor for alignment correction. A ton-bag-to-small-bag transfer mechanism assists stacking, boosting efficiency and reducing labor costs. Through automated and intelligent design, the system achieves end-to-end production optimization, empowering enterprises to reduce costs and boost efficiency.
SIHYDE Automation's gunning mix batching line centers on precise measurement, high-efficiency production, and eco-friendly design. It delivers automated, intelligent production solutions for the refractory materials industry, showcasing the company's technological prowess and innovative spirit.
