SLAG REMOVAL WITH BOECK’S TOOLS
We at boeck aim to improve and streamline your entire sheet metal working process. This starts with the first step in the processing chain: slag removal or "deslagging". This is often seen as a minor step, despite it being necessary for worker's safety and preventing part degradation. Furthermore, focusing on and investing in effective slag removal tools can greatly reduce downtime and thus save you costs in the long run.
METAL SLAG REMOVAL
During plasma or gas cutting, strong melting often occurs, with the molten metal sagging on the beam-exit side. This so-called slag or dross 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 slag 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, slag 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
- Unprecise – 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 slag 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 slag removal, you can additionally opt for single-row or double-row deslagging brushes.
