Slag is defined a type of sand that is traditionally derived from steel. It is a rough, stony-like waste product that is created during smelting or in this case from deburring. After a grinder deburrs sheet metal, the parts that chip off are known as slag. Slag grinding removes all heavy slag quickly and effectively, using rotating brushes that work in the opposite direction of the sheet metal being fed in order to grind and basically sand down the unfinished material. These machines use a series of belts to grind and brush through even the heaviest dross accumulations.
HOW TO GET RID OF SLAG FROM A FLAME CUTTER
Although some metal workers are fine hammering all the slag off of a freshly cut part, it can be a serious pain to work with. The slag grinder from Timesavers is the answer to this nuisance - allowing for slag grinding followed by a good finishing brush.
Slags are a serious headache to remove after cutting metal - think about the time and cost savings with a slag grinder!
The Hammerhead slag grinder
In a newer way to get rid of the “slag”, Timesavers has introduced its Hammerhead Slag Grinder. The innovative approach to grinding metal involves tiny pins that rotate in the opposite direction of the metal being fed into the machine, which allows for the pins to hit and remove any excess metal that does not belong to the main part. It produces a solid, speed-efficient finish, and gives a greater leg up on finishing competition.
