Conclusions
Industrial operation in steel factories of the “Orion” complex has shown the effectiveness of the plant and of mechanizing the guncreting of steel ladles. The average life of the lining in ladles was increased by 25–50%, the maximum life of 200-ton ladles at the Rustav factory having been brought to 52 heats. A reduction has been achieved in the specific consumption of ladle refractories equal to 1.7–3 kg/ton of steel. At Magnitogorsk they have increased the throughput capacity of steel melting bays by 3% with a reduction in the ladle stock of 11%.
