Slag, a byproduct of metal smelting and refining processes, represents both an environmental challenge and valuable resource. Our hydraulic slag crushing solutions efficiently process both smelting slag (from primary metal production) and refining slag (from secondary metal processing), transforming industrial waste into reusable materials for construction, cement production, and road bases.
Slag Processing Workflow
Primary crushing with our C6X Jaw Crusher (input size: ≤1200mm)
Secondary crushing using HPT Hydraulic Cone Crusher
Tertiary crushing with VSI6X Impact Crusher for final shaping
Screening via S5X Vibrating Screen for precise grading
Magnetic separation for metal recovery (optional)
Equipment Applications
Our slag crushing systems serve diverse industries:
Steel mill slag recycling (blast furnace & electric arc furnace)
Non-ferrous metal processing (copper, lead, zinc smelting)
Construction material production (substitute for natural aggregate)
Adjustable crushing force handles varying material hardness
Integrated magnetic separation options
Dust suppression system meets ISO 14001 standards
