Hydraulic tapping equipment for Ferroalloy and Non-ferrous Furnaces
Hydraulic tapping equipment for
Ferroalloy and Non-ferrous Furnaces
Automated and safe taphole maintenance process
DHM GROUP has a long-standing history in designing and manufacturing equipment for ferroalloy furnaces. Our team of specialists began their work with the development of suspended hydraulic tapping machines, some of which have been in operation for over 30 years.
Over time, we have continued to improve and modernize these machines, as well as implement new technical solutions to create high-tech and reliable equipment that meets modern industry standards.
Currently more than 100 various tapping machines operate on various SAFs all over the world.

Taphole drilling and plugging machines
The complex of machines allows to sequentially perform taphole drilling and further plugging to eliminate hard manual labour and protect taphole lining from extensive wear.

Taphole rodding machine
The taphole rodding machine is designed to restore and maintain the flow rate of tapped products.

Slag stopper
If temporary slag taphole freezing is required, the stopper seals it with an internal water-cooled copper tip.
