Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3540081A1] A stave protection system for a metallurgical furnace comprises: a stave (100) comprising a plurality of recesses (110) arranged on a front face (102) of the stave (100); and a plurality of inserts (200) each being received by a respective one of the recesses (110), the inserts (200) so received projecting from the front face (102) of the stave (100) such that, in use, furnace burden material is trapped by the inserts (200) so as to provide a protective layer of the burden material on the front face (102) of the stave (100). Each insert (200) comprises a set of segments (202a-f) and a retainer which forces the segments (202a-f) against a surface (110b) of the respective recess (110), such that the segments (202a-f) are secured in the recess (110) by frictional contact with the surface (110b) of the recess (110).
