Slag Removal From Oxyfuel, Flame, & Plasma Cut Parts & Heavy Plates

Heavy slag and dross is created during thermal cutting processes such as plasma cutting, flame cutting, and oxyfuel cutting. Slag refers to the residue or waste material that is being ejected from the kerf during cutting. The thicker the material, like heavy plate or thick parts for example, the more energy is required to remove the slag. If this slag can be knocked off via a lateral force, we speak of deslagging. Removing slag is an important step in ensuring quality, safety and durability for your plasma and flame cut parts.

The transition from burr to slag is fluid. However, as different tools are used in edge processing, we also distinguish between deburring (grinding) and slag removal (chipping off) processes. The deslagging solution can also be place in-line with edge rounding machines for complete processing.
