DATA SHEET-RAMMING MASS FOR CUPOLA FURANCE

CUPOLA-555

High Silica Ramming Mass with Alumina 555 (Binder) for Cupola, Ladle and other furnaces.

Introduction:

The Cupola-555 Ramming Mass is a monolithic refractory patching and lining material for the

melting zone of Cupola ladle and other furnaces. It is a replacement for Fireclay and Fire bricks used in repair and lining of Cupola, ladle and other furnaces.

Principals of manufacturing:

The Cupola-555 Ramming Mass is prepared by blending technically high temperature refractory materials in properly graded of different size in such a way that it gives a dequate strength. density and ramming power in green stage (before firing) as well as after firing. After setting & sintering it gives very high abrasion & corrosion resistance crackles and high temperature surface to the patching and lining in the melting zone of Cupola ladle and other furnaces.

Technical Data:

Silica ( SiO₂  ….   98%

Grading….   0-10 mm

Setting Temp     ….   Room. Temp

Sintering Temp. ….   800° C

Service Temp ….   1650° C

Binder ….   Ceramic (with Al₂O₃-55%)

Application:

Cupola-555 is supplied in ready mixed condition. It is applied by slightly moistening the mass with water to get the ramming consistency. The area to be applied should be thoroughly cleaned of any metal or slag coating, to expose fresh refractory   surface.

Benefits of use: 

Cupola-555 is set to a strong mass giving a pro- longed service life and prevents any intrusion of molten metal and erosion of refractory lining. Also gives more resistance with alkaline chemical reaction to the furnace lining. Both maintenance cost and time are considerably reduced.
