Basigun* gunning products are suited to all the main repair areas of a furnace. They are applied by conventional gun/ shooter or by fixed installed high speed Robotic.
Basiram* premium grade dry ramming masses for first installation and repair. The chemistry is designed so that the dry powder will form a strong sinter layer on the surface on first heating.
Installation equipment and monitoring
Lining Design and Analysis : Vesuvius has the capability to do advanced 3D modelling to help understand the main wear areas in a vessel working lining, to allow the accurate positioning of higher quality materials in the lining configuration.
Vesuvius can also supply fixed position or mobile high speed laser scanners for precise lining analysis and measurement to deliver optimised campaign life.
