Cutting-Edge Equipment for Steel Mills: Slag Skimming and deslagging machine, Trough Repair & Steel Grabbing Solutions

Our slag raking machines are essential for deslagging steel, effectively removing floating slag from molten metal in pouring ladles to ensure optimal steel quality. In the fast-paced, high-stakes environment of steel production, efficiency, safety, and equipment durability directly determine a steel mill’s profitability. From molten slag management to trough maintenance and steel handling, every link demands reliable, high-performance tools. Our tailored equipment lineup—including the Hydraulic Telescopic Arm Slag Skimming Machine, Remote-Controlled Trough Lining Repair System, and Steel Grabbing Machine—is engineered to solve core pain points across converters, Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF), ladles, and blast furnaces, empowering steel mills to boost productivity while cutting risks and costs.

1. Hydraulic Telescopic Arm Slag Skimming Machine: All-Scenario Slag Management

Slag removal is a critical step in steel production—poor slag control leads to reduced steel quality, equipment wear, and extended production cycles. Our Hydraulic Telescopic Arm Slag Skimming Machine is designed to adapt to all core steelmaking scenarios, delivering precise, efficient slag skimming for converters, EAFs, ladles, and blast furnaces.

Key Advantages That Redefine Slag Handling

  • Unmatched Flexibility: The hydraulic telescopic arm features a 360° rotation and adjustable extension length (up to 8-12 meters, customizable by mill needs). This means it can easily reach slag layers in large converters, deep ladles, or narrow blast furnace troughs—no more repositioning the machine or compromising on skimming coverage.

  • High-Temperature Resistance & Durability: The arm’s end effector and skimming blade are made of heat-resistant alloy steel (capable of withstanding 1,200°C+ surface temperatures), ensuring long-term use even in direct contact with molten slag. The hydraulic system uses high-temperature seals to avoid leakage or failure in harsh environments.

  • Efficiency Boost: Compared to manual slag skimming (which takes 15-20 minutes per ladle) or fixed-arm machines, our telescopic model cuts slag removal time by 40%. It skims 95% of molten slag in one pass, reducing residual slag in steel and improving downstream casting quality.

  • Operator Safety: The machine is operated via a remote console (10-15 meters away from the slag zone), eliminating direct exposure to high heat, splashing slag, and toxic fumes. This drastically reduces occupational hazards for your team.dc7cb3d750ad96a132e2a6ebe85f2383

2. Remote-Controlled Trough Lining Repair System: Safe, Fast Maintenance for Critical Channels

Troughs (e.g., blast furnace iron troughs, converter slag troughs) are the "arteries" of steel mills—their refractory linings erode quickly due to molten metal/slag flow, thermal cycling, and chemical corrosion. Traditional repair methods require shutting down the trough, cooling it for hours, and sending workers into narrow, high-risk spaces—costing mills 4-6 hours of downtime per repair.


Our Remote-Controlled Trough Lining Repair System changes this by enabling hot-state, unmanned repair, keeping your production line running while restoring trough integrity.

Why It’s a Game-Changer for Mill Maintenance

  • Remote Operation, Zero Human Risk: The system’s robotic arm is controlled via a 3D vision console, allowing operators to monitor and adjust repair work from a safe control room. No need for workers to enter confined, high-temperature troughs—eliminating risks of burns, gas poisoning, or structural collapse.

  • Hot Repair Capability: It works directly on troughs with surface temperatures up to 800°C (no cooling required), cutting downtime from hours to 30-60 minutes per repair. This translates to an extra 200+ production hours per year for a typical blast furnace.

  • Precision & Durability: The robotic arm uses a high-pressure gunning system to spray refractory material (customizable for acidic/alkaline slag) with ±2mm positioning accuracy. The repaired lining has a bulk density of 2.8 g/cm³—30% denser than manual repairs—extending trough service life by 50%.

  • Versatility: It adapts to troughs of all sizes (width 0.5-3 meters, length 5-20 meters) and shapes (straight, curved, tapered), making it suitable for EAF slag troughs, ladle transfer troughs, and blast furnace main troughs.
