Abstract: To improve the stability of spray application of a monolithic refractory in which a water injector is disposed in a material carrier pipe extending from a material supply device to a distal spray nozzle, and application water is injected from the water injector into a spray material that is being carried through the material carrier pipe, a ratio of a flow volume of an application water carrier gas for carrying the application water to be introduced into the water injector to a flow volume of a spray material carrier gas for carrying the spray material is set to 0.07 to 2, and a compressibility index of the spray material is set to 32% or less. Alternatively, a ratio of a flow volume of an application water carrier gas for carrying the application water to be introduced into the water injector to an application water volume is set to 100 to 1,000.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for spray application of a monolithic refractory material, designed to add water to a powder material and knead the powder material during feeding. In the method and apparatus, a primary water injector 7 is arranged in a feed hose 5 extending from a spray-material supply device 1 to a distal spray nozzle 4, and a secondary water injector 8 is arranged in the feed hose at a position just before the distal spray nozzle 4. The primary water injector 7 is arranged on an upstream side of the secondary water injector 8 with a given distance therebetween. 10 to 50 mass %, preferably 15 to 40 mass %, of application water on the basis of the total application water required for the spray application is added from the primary water injector together with compression air in the form of water particles having an average particle size of 100 ?m or less, to evenly wet a spray material during feeding to the extent capable of preventing the spray material from being slurried.
