Abstract
The present invention relates to an installation for ramming the material constituting the refractory lining of a metallurgical vessel. The ramming installation comprises several ramming elements mounted on an arm horizontally shiftable on a support secured to a column. The column carries a monitoring table above the support and is vertically shiftable on a gantry frame. The gantry frame rolls horizontally relative to the shell of the vessel. The shell of the vessel is mounted on a turntable to which a generally reciprocatory rotary movement is imparted.
