Component Specifications

Definition
A precision-engineered component integrated into automated slag skimming robots, designed to efficiently remove non-metallic impurities (slag) that form on the surface of molten metal during smelting, refining, or casting processes. It operates at high temperatures and in harsh industrial environments to maintain metal purity and quality.
Working Principle
Utilizes mechanical scraping or skimming action, often with controlled angle and pressure, to separate and remove the lighter slag layer from the denser molten metal surface. May incorporate thermal resistance and automated positioning systems for precise operation.
Materials
High-temperature resistant alloys (e.g., Inconel, Hastelloy), ceramic-coated steel, or refractory materials to withstand temperatures up to 1600°C and corrosive slag environments.
Technical Parameters
  • Lifespan 500-2000 operating hours
  • Compatibility Automated Slag Skimming Robot
  • Skimming Width 200-500 mm
  • Material Thickness 10-30 mm
  • Operating Temperature Up to 1600°C
Standards
ISO 9001, DIN EN 10025
