Abstract: A multi-module system for applying a refractory monolithic onto an object includes a power module and a placement module, separated and distinct from the power module. The power module includes a hydraulic pump and a prime mover drivably coupled to the hydraulic pump. The placement module includes a mixer for receiving a dry refractory material and a liquid, the mixer operative to mix the dry refractory material and liquid to produce a wet monolithic, and a pump coupled to the mixer and configured to move the wet monolithic out of the mixer. A hydraulic conduit is couplable between the hydraulic pump and at least one of the mixer or the pump, whereby the at least one of the mixer or the pump is driven by hydraulic power produced by the hydraulic pump.

Abstract: Mounting hardware for mounting an insulation module on a furnace wall. The hardware comprises a mounting bracket embedded within the module. The bracket has a plurality of flexible tabs, each tab having a fixed end and a free end. The free ends of the tabs are arranged about a central point and are movable (flexible) relative to the fixed ends. A mounting stud is provided having a fixed end attachable to an inner surface of a furnace wall and a free end. The stud extends from the inner surface, and the stud has an annular groove adjacent the fixed end. The stud is dimensioned to extend through the mounting bracket between the free ends of the tabs and to cause the tabs to flex as the bracket moves along the stud from the free end towards the fixed end, wherein the tabs snap and lock into the annular groove when the bracket reaches the annular groove.
