Taphole Opener
High-Temperature Taphole Opener for Metallurgical Furnaces
The enterprise-grade Taphole Opener from Shaanxi Heyuan works very well for metalworking tasks and has been shown to work at temperatures up to 1200°C. Our special drilling system can be adjusted to have diameters from 50mm to 200mm and power values from 15kW to 55kW. This makes sure that molten metal tapping for converters, EAFs, and submerged arc furnaces works reliably. Shaanxi Heyuan has been doing metallurgical research and development for over 11 years and has sent more than 400 sets of furnace equipment all over the world. They offer integrated solutions and have a staff of almost 400 pros, including 11 top experts, who can help with service quickly.
Why Choose Our High-Temperature Drilling Solution?
When drilling through harsh conditions of taphole clay for your metalworking business, you need to be very precise. Too much sintering strength and high ferrostatic pressure make it hard to open tapholes. Our drilling method solves this important problem.
Tungsten carbide drill bits are strong even at temperatures above 800°C and have a lot of power and impact energy. This keeps the iron flow lines clean and straight, which stops dangerous iron splashing during casthouse operations.
Advanced Material Technology
The high-quality tungsten carbide plates in our drill bits have hardness values above 89 HRA. The forged high-strength alloy structure of the steel body is meant to keep the rod from breaking under high pressure.
The special coating is resistant to both heat shock and chemical damage. This is especially important when making ferroalloys, because the viscosity of the slag can be hard for regular equipment.

Versatile Applications Across Industries
Large-Scale Blast Furnaces
Our equipment excels in high-volume iron production environments where daily output demands reliable taphole management. The system penetrates deep tapholes up to 1500mm while maintaining straightness to protect taphole frames and carbon brick linings.
Ferroalloy Production
Specifically engineered for silicomanganese and ferrochrome production where highly viscous, abrasive slag requires aggressive cutting performance. The drill bits feature optimized cutting angles that effectively shear through slag crusts.
Non-Ferrous Smelting
Designed for copper and nickel matte tapping operations where chemical corrosion presents additional challenges. Our specialized alloy compositions resist sulfur attack while maintaining effectiveness under chemically aggressive conditions.
