HEAVY SLAGE REMOVAL

Thermal cutting processes are essential to many manufacturing operations but often result in unwanted molten metal on parts.

What is heavy slag?

Heavy slag, also called metal dross, are heavy burrs that appear during plasma, oxygen and other flame cutting processes. They usually accumulate on the edges of metal and holes. Large pieces of metal slag will cause uneven metal surfaces, so they must be removed.When facing slag from thermal cutting, choose slag hammer machinery from ADV Grinding.Our Heavy Slag Removal Machines Will Improve Your Production Lines.

Deslagging machine at ADV Grinding


In the past, heavy slag was removed by hammering or angle grinders. Based on customer feedback, we installed hammer pins on the Y station and H station. Its dense pins structure can easily remove thick and large slags -  ADV Grinding developed Hammerhead technology to solve this problem.


Q : How To Remove Metal Slag?


A : Slag can be ground down via various sandpaper grits. Either with a grinding belt or with grinding blocks. The ADV 508® HR and 508® RY Series is the expert in slag removal. It is a mechanical machine that uses discs outfitted with metal pins to knock the slag off. Thus, no dust extraction is needed because you are knocking the slag off vs. grinding it off which is much more economical.


Q : Why Is Slag Removal Necessary After Flame And Plasma Cutting?


A : Removing slag is a critical step in manufacturing because leaving the slag on the metal parts can compromise part quality which will lead to issues during welding, bending and assembly. Safety for handling is another aspect as well as even potentially damaging downstream equipment because of the slag residues.
