Hydraulic Rotary Joint for Blast Furnace Mud Guns
Non-standard joint engineered for tap-hole plugging duty
Overview
The mud gun is essential furnace-front equipment on every blast furnace: it plugs the tap-hole quickly and accurately after tapping, allowing the furnace to re-enter its next working cycle without delay. Wherever a medium flows through a rotating interface, a rotary joint is required — and on mud gun equipment that joint is a non-standard, purpose-built unit. Ruitus supplies the hydraulic rotary joint for this duty at 325 bar, 230°C and 15 rpm, with 2 × SAE 1/2" oil inlets, handling hydraulic oil, water and ethylene glycol. Configured as a non-standard design, it is matched to your specific mud gun model and tap-hole practice.
