## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are best for conveyor troughs handling hot slag?
**A**: Our troughs use abrasion-resistant steel, heat-resistant rubber, and specialized composite materials designed to withstand high temperatures and abrasive slag materials in basic metal manufacturing.

### Q: How do wear liners extend the life of slag conveyor systems?
**A**: Wear liners protect critical areas like trough side plates and support structures from abrasive slag particles, significantly reducing maintenance costs and downtime in metal production facilities.

### Q: What specifications should I consider for slag conveyor troughs?
**A**: Key specs include material thickness, temperature resistance ratings, load capacity, belt width compatibility, and wear liner attachment systems to ensure optimal performance in harsh metal manufacturing environments.
