Wagger 360° Rotating Slag Scoop: Uninterrupted Performance in the Heat of Metal
Foundries and arc furnaces are the world’s toughest testing grounds for equipment. The Wagger 360° Rotating Slag Scoop is developed for the rapid collection and transport of slag (dross) from the surface of molten metal, offering the ability to discharge it from any angle via its 360-degree rotation. Specifically armored against high heat and abrasive dust, this product delivers vibration-free power even in the hottest operations.
Extreme Solutions for Heavy Industry
- Thermal Armor and Protection: Hydraulic cylinders, hoses, and the rotation motor are protected against radiant heat and molten metal splashes with specialized heat shields and high-temperature resistant sealing elements.
- Hardox® Reinforced Scoop Structure: Since the scoop is in constant contact with abrasive slag particles, it is manufactured from the most wear-resistant steel alloys (such as Hardox). it maintains its form for years without cracking.
- High-Torque 360° Rotation: Slag is naturally unbalanced and sticky. Wagger’s high-torque hydraulic motor easily evacuates even heavy and adhered loads by rotating them in a full, vibration-free circle.
- Precision Pouring and Dosing: The 360-degree infinite rotation capability gives the operator total control during discharge. By adjusting the pouring speed and angle with millimetric precision, it enhances environmental safety.
Why Choose the Wagger Slag Scoop?
- Minimizes Downtime: Reduces the risk of failure thanks to its closed-circuit and reinforced gear system, suitable for operation in dusty and hot environments.
- Peak Operator Safety: Allows the operator to perform maneuvers from a safe distance, without needing to approach the furnace mouth or slag pit, thanks to its long-body design and 360° rotation capability.
- Customizable Capacity: Special production options are available in various volumes and widths to suit your furnace dimensions and forklift tonnage.
Application Areas
- Iron and Steel Plants: Removing slag from arc furnaces and ladle furnaces.
- Aluminum Foundries: Cleaning the oxide layer from the surface of molten metal.
- Recycling Facilities: Transferring high-temperature slag and industrial waste into containers.
The Wagger Difference: Durability Written in Fire
While the hydraulic systems of ordinary rotators lose performance at high temperatures, Wagger is designed with “Heat-Shield” technology. This system delays the heating of hydraulic oil and features special tolerances that compensate for the thermal expansion of mechanical components.
