SUMMARY:DANGO & DIENENTHAL is on its way to automated deslagging
DESCRIPTION:Nearly 300 SAM Series skimming machines have been installed in steelworks around the world, proving their worth every day under harsh operating conditions. These machines increase the yield of pure steel thanks to the precisely controlled movement of the skimming plate, which only removes the slag from the melt, leaving the liquid steel in the ladle. The maximum skimming force is 50 kN, the maximum range 9,500 mm.

Even the basic machine gives operators the option of maintaining a constant immersion depth with a horizontal skimming boom.

With the newly developed automated deslagging option, the slag skimming machine can perform a variety of programmed movement sequences. To execute these sequences, the skimming plate is moved parallel to the bath level at the desired immersion depth. Operators can select the distance to the ladle’s inner wall. The skimming plate also is lifted in the front area of the ladle to remove the slag via the spout in a collision-free process.

Once the ladle has been placed in the ladle tilter and tilted until the slag begins to flow out of the pouring spout, the automated process can begin. Two skimming patterns can be chosen to process the entire bath surface: a “circular” or a “radial” pattern. The distance between the individual tracks depends on the degree of overlap.

The entire bath surface can be processed repeatedly, and the patterns combined at will until only individual slag islands remain on the metal bath surface. These are then removed through a targeted selection of individual sectors.

The deslagging process ends when the bath surface is free of slag and the ladle tilter has been tilted back to its basic position.
