HPE Mudgun
- Two types of Mudguns are offered: a high volume low pressure unit with a 154 litre capacity and a low volume high pressure unit with a 70 litre capacity
- Both Mudguns use the same hydraulic drive and control which incorporates an essential loading door safety lockout to prevent clay piston movement when the door is open
- Loading doors are large to enable the use of economically sized pre-packed taphole material or for the easy loading of loose bulk materials
- Both types are fully water cooled right to the tip to prevent heat damage and baking of the taphole fill materials in the barrel nozzle
- Clay pressure in the high pressure gun is 56 bar and in the low pressure gun 28 bar
- The robust design tolerates metal splatter and heat radiation
- Maintenance is low and short disposable end pieces reduce taphole damage costs
