A metal slag removal machine, also known as a slag removal machine, is an essential piece of equipment in the metalworking industry. It is specifically designed to remove slag (excess material) from the surface of metal parts, playing a particularly important role after hot working processes such as plasma cutting and flame cutting. During hot working, the high temperatures of the metal produce molten excess material. Upon cooling, this slag forms a tightly adherent slag on the surface of the part. Failure to promptly remove this slag can directly impact subsequent machining accuracy. These machines precisely remove slag from metal parts, preventing damage and creating a smooth, clean surface. This reduces process errors during subsequent welding, painting, and assembly processes, laying a solid foundation for production.
This equipment offers significant advantages for slag removal and surface grinding of thick metal plates. During thick plate cutting, the increased thickness of the plate complicates heat transfer at high temperatures, resulting in the formation of a large amount of hard, highly adherent slag. Traditional manual cleaning requires tools like chisels and angle grinders. Not only can each person process only a few square meters of plate per day, resulting in low efficiency, but it's also difficult to control the force during the cleaning process, easily leaving scratches or localized deformation on the base material. The metal deslagging machine, however, features a grinding system consisting of grinding tools and abrasive paper customized for the characteristics of thick plates. This system quickly removes stubborn slag while completing preliminary surface finishing, achieving a surface roughness of Ra1.6-3.2μm.
In terms of surface treatment, the metal deslagging machine removes surface oxide layers. Metal materials are prone to forming oxide scale during processing or storage, which can affect the quality of subsequent welding, painting, and other processes. The equipment's precision grinding thoroughly removes this oxide layer, revealing the original luster of the metal substrate.
With its high-precision control system and diverse processing modes, the metal deslagging machine achieves high-quality metal surface treatment results, improving the appearance of metal parts while enhancing product durability and safety. It plays an irreplaceable role in industries such as engineering machinery, shipbuilding, and pressure vessels.
