How do I choose between a gunning machine and a casting pump?

Gunning machines suit furnace linings, kiln repairs, and structural fireproofing where access is difficult and application speed matters, while casting pumps suit pourable castable refractory poured into formwork for denser, more uniform linings in critical process areas. The choice depends on the refractory material specified by the process engineer and the geometry of the area being lined. New construction and in-service repairs with restricted access often call for different equipment.
