Benefits of Vesuvius solutions
- Improved refractory lining performance
- Campaign extension
- Improved ladle availability
- Increased ladle volume/carry weights
- Improved fleet reliability
- Reduced net operating cost per ton of hot metal produced
Engineered materials
Working linings are designed to complement whether treatment is carried out (desulphurisation or not) by supplying from Mid to High-Alumina or Graphite High-Alumina bricks.
Working lining bricks:
- Resin Bonded Alumina Carbon products for Iron Ladle working linings
- Fired Andalusite products
Monolithic lining & maintenance materials
- Low cement shotcrete materials for working lining to pouring lip
- Fast application for larger repairs
- Low Cement pneumatically applied material
- Fast application for smaller repairs
Installation expertise
Maintenance can be carried out by shotcreting or dry gunning by our local Vesuvius installation team; or by using an accredited Vesuvius partner.
Installation equipment
Vesuvius has developed specialized installation equipment; designed to obtain the optimal installation efficiency and lining performance from our Monolithic Refractory solutions.
Vesuvius Advanced Robotic Gunning (VARG)
The next generation package for laser-guided automated refractory gunning for BOFs, EAFs and Ladles
VARG (Vesuvius Advanced Robotic Gunning) is a cutting-edge solution designed for the maintenance of Basic Oxygen Furnaces (BOFs), Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs), and Ladles in the steelmaking industry. Repairing these furnaces is often time-consuming and hazardous, exposing repair teams to high heat loads and disrupting steel production schedules. To address these challenges, VARG combines state-of-the-art robotic gunning technology with the advanced Laser Contouring System ANTERIS 360. This innovative system optimizes repair parameters, ensuring accurate and repeatable repairs while minimizing downtime. Key benefits of VARG include improved safety by removing personnel from hazardous environments, enhanced repair efficiency, and greater control over the repair schedule. Additionally, it reduces waste through precise material application onto the walls.
