Slag Racking Machine

About Slag Racking Machine

The slag skimmer is used to rake the slag layer from the surface of molten metal. It can be used on iron and steel ladles, aluminum holding furnaces and in other hot metal areas. This reduces the metallurgical load. It is a hydraulically operated machine of sturdy construction for use in steel plants. The linkages are designed to facilitate digging into the crust of hot metal and skim the slag out of the ladle.
The design incorporates horizontal rake movement and a large bearing base for slew movement.

The following motions are possible:
Forward and reverse movement of the raking arm:
Rotation or slew of the rake arm to the left and right of center and extended travel to the right to a parked position:
Vertical movements of the rake arm:
There are various type of mounting arrangements depending on the customer's Hot Metal Shop layout and the area available for skimming.
