DROSS REMOVAL WITH BOECK’S TOOLS
At boeck, we strive to improve and streamline your entire sheet metal working process, starting with the first step in the processing chain: dross removal. This step is often overlooked, despite the fact that it safeguards workers and prevents part degradation. Additionally, investing in effective tools to remove dross can greatly reduce downtime and thus reduce your costs.
METAL DROSS REMOVAL
During plasma or gas cutting, strong melting often occurs, with the molten metal sagging on the beam-exit side. This so-called dross, or sometimes slag, occurs both on the inner and outer contours of the workpiece and must be removed for effective and economical further processing.
Common manual methods for dross removal include chipping it away using a hammer and chisel, or grinding using an angle grinder. However, this is labor intensive and leads to longer overall processing times.
In terms of mechanical processes, dross can be removed by grinding with a soft contact roller. An even faster and easier industrial method is knocking it off using a deslagging brush made up of multiple flexibly mounted steel pins.
Hammer and Chisel
- Precise
- Labor intensive – risk of strain and injury
- Slow – long processing times
Angle grinder
- Imprecise – risk of removing too much material
- Not labor intensive
- Relatively quick
Deslagging brushes
- Precise – removes excess material only
- Not labor intensive – safest processing
- Very quick – shortest processing times
Instead of hammer and chisel, let boeck deslagging brushes do the heavy lifting for you. They are available for all common deburring machine types, whether top grinders or automated machines. To reduce downtime even further, they can be equipped with our quick-release system for easier and faster set-up times.
Depending on your material and dross toughness, it may be wise to switch between different variants. For this purpose, we have different diameters and hardness levels in our range, ranging from H1 to H4. To optimize your dross removal, you can additionally opt for single-row or double-row deslagging brushes.
