Furnace debricking machine

The furnace debricking machine, also known as a furnace dismantling machine or hydraulic furnace breaker, is specially designed for converter maintenance and refractory lining removal in steel plants. Driven by a powerful hydraulic system, the machine converts hydraulic oil pressure into controlled cylinder movement, enabling the working arm to extend, retract, lift and lower with precision.

 

Its main functions include routine slag removal around the furnace mouth, drilling and enlarging converter tap holes, and dismantling worn refractory linings during major furnace overhauls. The working arm integrates a main swing arm, telescopic arm, support bracket, hydraulic cylinders and a hose guide device. Boom lifting and lowering are controlled hydraulically to provide stable and flexible operation at different working positions.

 

A height-adjustable worktable and secure clamping mechanism help prevent unwanted sliding or tilting during operation. The X-shaped welded undercarriage delivers excellent rigidity and torsional resistance, allowing the furnace debricking machine to perform reliably under demanding metallurgical working conditions.

Removes accumulated slag and solid deposits around the converter mouth during routine maintenance.

Drills worn or blocked tap holes in preparation for maintenance and replacement work.

Enlarges and reshapes converter tap holes to meet the required dimensions for subsequent repair.

Breaks and removes worn refractory bricks, castable linings and residual materials during major converter overhauls.

Cleans the inner furnace structure and prepares the working surface for the installation of new refractory materials.

Suitable for converter maintenance areas, furnace-repair workshops and other heavy-duty metallurgical applications.

Hydraulic oil pressure drives the cylinders to extend and retract, providing strong and controlled force for refractory demolition, slag cleaning and tap-hole maintenance.

One machine can perform furnace-mouth slag removal, converter tap-hole drilling and enlarging, as well as refractory lining demolition during major overhauls.

The combination of the main swing arm and telescopic arm enables the machine to reach different areas inside and around the furnace.

The boom lift cylinder controls the lifting and lowering movement, allowing accurate positioning according to the required working height and angle.

The adjustable worktable improves operational flexibility and allows the equipment to adapt to different converter dimensions and maintenance conditions.

Integrated clamps help prevent the machine or workpiece from sliding and tilting during demanding demolition operations.

The hose management system keeps hydraulic hoses properly routed during boom movement, reducing interference, abrasion and accidental damage.

The welded X-frame undercarriage provides high structural rigidity, excellent stability and strong resistance to torsional loads.

Mechanized hydraulic operation reduces labor intensity and limits workers’ exposure to dust, falling refractory and hazardous furnace-maintenance environments.

Efficient slag removal, tap-hole processing and refractory demolition help steel plants complete converter maintenance and relining work faster.
