Hydraulic Distributor
The Hydraulic Distributor simplifies blast furnace burden distribution by replacing traditional electro-mechanical systems with reliable hydraulic technology. With fewer moving components, it delivers consistent operation, reduced maintenance, improved furnace performance, and greater efficiency.
Description
The Hydraulic Distributor is an alternative system that simplifies the entire burden distribution process. In this design, hydraulics replace traditional electro‐mechanical functions of other designs. There are fewer moving components so the unit functions with greater reliability and longevity.
The benefits of this system are impressive:
- Better furnace reliability
- Increased furnace top pressure
- More consistent operation
- Less maintenance
- Increased fuel savings
- Improved gas and heat protection
Under a joint technology cooperative agreement with Baotou Iron and Steel (Group) Co., Ltd, Woodings has the exclusive rights to market, engineer and manufacture the Hydraulic Distributor, a new—and better—top for blast furnace efficiency.
