SLAG TRANSPORT SYSTEM (STS)

The Paling Slag Transport System (STS) is a high volume molten slag handling system that is revolutionizing slag handling in Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking operations. Newer steelmaking technology creates larger volume heats that produce more foamed slag. Fluctuations in foamed slag volumes can exceed the capacity of traditional slag pots, causing dangerous overflow, and furnace cycle delays. Older, ‘slag only’ handling equipment often lacks the vessel volume and weight capacity required to remove slag safely and efficiently.

The elimination of traditional molten slag handling, and the implementation of Paling’s STS Transporters can result in EAF steel production increases as much as 33%.

Labour and equipment productivity is dramatically increased resulting in reduced operational costs, while maximizing safety and environmental controls. STS Transporters can also be used for upstream and downstream product handling, as the power unit is the same that is employed in the CTS System, enabling plant-wide heavy material handling equipment utilization, and increased productivity.  Slag Transport System Brochure.
