Taphole Drill Machine Economic tapping requires a high performance taphole channel. In addition to the choice of appropriate clay masses and the optimum opening strategy, optimal adjustments of the tapping parameters as well as their reproducibility are important.   TMT Taphole Drills combine maximum flexibility with well-proven high capacity drill hammers to ensure effective drilling. All taphole drills machines can be fitted with sensors suitable for the blast furnace environment.These sensors provide drilling parameter feedback for process monitoring and automation of the tapping technique.   Bar loader   Space-saving casthouse layout with Clay Gun Machine and Taphole Drill Machine arranged one above the other on one side of the runner, as well as a Cover Manipulator on the oppesite runner side Drilling Technology • Drilling by rotation only • Drilling with percussion • Soaking bar technology • Automatic drilling
