What is a gunning machine used for in refractory work?

A gunning machine pneumatically applies dry or wet refractory material onto furnace, kiln, or ladle surfaces, allowing repairs and relining without the formwork that casting requires. It is widely used across UAE steel, cement, and glass plants for both scheduled maintenance and emergency hot repairs where downtime must be minimized. Sparkline Group supplies and services gunning machines suited to these applications, along with the compatible gunning mixes. Understanding your typical repair scope helps determine the right machine capacity for your operation.
