The application equipment and technology for monolithic refractories has great importance in the performance of these applications. Asmaş has developed its own technology such as Robogun and incorporated state-of-the-art Minteq technology into its own applications to serve better to its customers. Asmaş has its own Equipment Manufacturing Workshop in order to ensure continuous improvement and the capability to manufacture all Asmaş and Minteq Application Equipment itself.

Application Equipment Product Range:

ROBOGUN – automatic gunning manipulator with remote control from Slag door
Minscan – automatic gunning manipulator with remote control from furnace top
Batchgun – gunning machines for big vessels, such as BOF, EAF
Mobile Batchgun – gunning machine for small vessels, such as ladle
Fettling Machine – repairing with fettling materials the banks
LUX Shooter – mobile repairing unit for BOFs
Laser Measurement Technique – please see Ferrotron – Minteq.

Robogun

The state-of-the-art innovation, ROBOGUN hot repairing technology, is a uniquely engineered solution by Asmas for hot gunning applications into EAF, BOF, and ladle with premium Ferrogun mixes. ROBOGUN can be used for complete repairs reaching any part of the vessel and partial repairs such as the highest erosion areas behind the EAF slag door. ROBOGUN also includes an optional feature to process EAF fettling repairs. Its longer service life lowers refractory cost per ton of steel. ROBOGUN Hot repairing system consists of below main units:

1. Robogun: Sprays gunning material to required zone inside the EAF at automatic (1) / manual mode.
2. Batchgun: Consists of Pressure Vessel and feeding hopper. Treat the gunning material by increasing pressure and transfers to Robogun.
3. Control Cabinets: provides all supplies such as Electrical, Hydraulic and Pneumatic systems.

ROBOGUN operates through the slag door; therefore without opening the top cover, resulting in the benefit of saving energy.

Accurate gunning with ROBOGUN manipulator:

• Reduces repair time
• Reduces consumption of the repair material
• Increases the brick campaign life
• Improves EAF availability
• Improves safety and comfortable usage for operators with Remote Control.

ROBOGUN models implemented:
ROBOGUN SD – Standard Robogun working from slag door
ROBOGUN R – Robogun movable on rails
ROBOGUN C – Robogun application to converter gunning repair
ROBOGUN L – Robogun application to ladle gunning repair
