Abstract
The Gimbal Top distribution system for blast furnaces was introduced for the first time in October 2006. With this solution any burden profile can be generated by directing the feed material to any point on the furnace stock line. This is made possible by innovative design features which allow the chute angle and position to be continuously adjusted during material discharging. Characterised by its simple, yet rugged design, the described distributor is ideally suited for the high-temperature and high-pressure environment of ironmaking plants and provides significant advantages over current market alternatives.
