A “slag bucket” refers to a specialized piece of equipment usually used in the metallurgical and iron and steel industries. Slag is the waste material generated during metal smelting processes and comes off the surface of the metal. Slag occurs during the cooling of molten metal, usually due to high temperatures, and can be encountered in the production processes of various metals.
Slag buckets are special buckets designed to collect, transport and manage this slag. These buckets can often have the following characteristics:
Durable Construction: Slag buckets are usually made of durable materials that can withstand heavy duty.
High Temperature Resistance: Because slag is formed at high temperatures, these buckets are usually made of materials with high temperature resistance.
Large Conveying Capacity: Slag buckets can often have a large slag handling capacity.
Side Protector Edges: Side guard edges added to the bucket sides can help grasp and collect slag more effectively.
