The BRICKING SOLUTIONS torpedo ladle bricking machine replaces old-fashioned wood forms and wedges and cuts set-up time in half, along with offering greater efficiency and safety for refractory installation in torpedo ladles.
The torpedo ladle bricking machine reduces installation time by two times over wood form and wedge methods. The design includes a lightweight aluminum arch mounted on adjustable screw jacks, as well as flexible hinge connections. This allows the arch to adjust down for the tapered end of the ladle and for any distorations.
The platform expands the entire length of the torpedo ladle, allowing the arch trolley to move the full length of the platform on rails. This increases both safety and efficiencyfor the bricking process by providing a solid work platform for workers, tools, and brick.
The torpedo ladle bricking machine also improves safety and ergonomics over manual installation methods, with features like the custom aluminum Perf-O-Grip planking for a slip-resistant walking surface. It is 50% lighter than steel versions but just as strong, with a 6,000-lbs. (2,700-kg) load capacity and a 3-to-1 safety factor. The torpedo ladle bricking machine can be customized to fit any size torpedo ladle.
In addition to the torpedo ladle bricking machine, Bricking Solutions manufactures bricking machines for rotary kilns as well as custom kiln access ramps and work platforms to increase efficiency and safety for refractory and other maintenance applications. Learn more at www.brickingsolutions.com.
