HEAVY SLAG REMOVAL MACHINE
Heavy Slag Removal Machines for Thermal Cut Steel Parts
Remove stubborn slag and dross from plasma-cut, oxy-fuel-cut, and thick thermal-cut steel parts before welding, coating, or edge rounding.
Common Processing Challenges
Plasma cutting, oxy-fuel cutting, and thick-plate thermal cutting can leave hard slag attached to the bottom edge of the part. If it is removed manually, the process becomes slow, inconsistent, and dependent on operator skill.
Time-consuming manual grinding
Poor welding preparation
Inconsistent slag removal quality
Increased labor cost
Secondary processing delays
Powder coating adhesion issues
What Is It Built For?
Choose BB for standard dross and general burr removal. HB and HBB use hammer-disc impact to fracture heavy slag before abrasive-belt finishing.

Slag and dross removal configurations
Choose BB for standard dross or HB / HBB for heavy slag
The correct configuration depends on how strongly the deposit is attached, the cutting process and the result required after cleaning. Send representative parts for a process test before final selection.

BB
Two abrasive belt stations
For standard laser or plasma dross and general burr removal where aggressive hammer-disc impact is not required.
- Flexible abrasive sequence
- Surface cleaning and burr removal
- Working widths: 800mm, 1000mm, 1300mm & 1600mm

HB
Hammer disc + one abrasive belt
For heavy thermal-cut slag that needs impact removal followed by one belt-cleaning stage.
- Compact heavy-slag configuration
- Removes strongly attached deposits
- Working widths: 800mm, 1000mm, 1300mm & 1600mm

HBB
Hammer disc + two abrasive belts
Adds a second belt station when heavy-slag removal also requires more cleaning capacity or surface refinement.
- More flexible post-hammer finishing
- Suited to demanding batch production
- Working widths: 800mm, 1000mm, 1300mm & 1600mm

FAQ
What is the difference between slag and dross?
Slag or dross is resolidified material left by thermal cutting. Heavy slag is more strongly attached and may require hammer-disc impact before abrasive finishing.
When should I choose HB or HBB instead of BB?
Choose HB or HBB when heavy thermal-cut slag is the main problem. BB is better suited to standard dross, burr removal and abrasive finishing tasks.
Can heavy slag removal improve welding preparation?
Yes. Removing hard deposits and oxide buildup creates cleaner edges before welding, coating or downstream fabrication.
How do I confirm the right slag removal setup?
Send representative parts with material, thickness, cutting method and photos of the slag condition. A sample test is the safest way to confirm the configuration.
