Advanced Mixing Technology Ensures Precision and Durability for Steelmaking Applications
Discover how Co-Nele Planetary Mixers enhance raw material preparation for ladle porous plugs, delivering 22% longer service life and 18% less waste in refractory manufacturing.Co-Nele Planetary Mixers Set New Standards in Refractory Manufacturing
(China – 2025.4.30) – In the high-stakes world of steelmaking, ladle porous plugs are critical to achieving uniform steel quality and efficient gas stirring. Today, Co-Nele Industrial Solutions announces a breakthrough in refractory production with its next-generation Planetary Mixers, engineered specifically for manufacturing high-performance ladle porous plugs.
The Challenge: Precision Matters in Ladle Porous Plug Production
Ladle porous plugs require ultra-homogeneous mixtures of magnesia, alumina, binders, and additives. Even minor inconsistencies in raw material blending can lead to:Premature plug failure under 1600°C+ steel temperaturesUnstable argon gas flow ratesIncreased downtime for ladle maintenanceTraditional mixers struggle with abrasive materials and complex formulations – a gap Co-Nele’s technology now bridges.Co-Nele Planetary Mixers: Engineered for ExcellenceDesigned with input from global refractory leaders, Co-Nele’s mixers deliver:
Multi-Directional HomogenizationDual motion (planetary + rotational) ensures 99.9% uniformity in particle distribution, critical for consistent pore structures.Deaeration TechnologyReduces micro-bubbles by 90%, enhancing plug density and thermal shock resistance.Optimized Process ControlMixing speed and time based on material hardness and binder viscosity“Co-Nele’s Planetary mixer transformed our plug quality.
