Device for removing fused slags on slabs

Apparatus for removing a torch-cutting slag of a slab, wherein a cutting tool mount vertically and rotatably controllable is transversely racked beneath a conveying roller table for conveying the slab fusion-cut to a predetermined length in a direction perpendicular to the conveying roller table, and cutting tools for cutting the torch-cutting slag of the slab are provided at least at positions symmetrical with each other along the longitudinal outer surfaces of the cutting tool mount. The cutting tools for cutting the torch-cutting slag are constituted by a plurality of cutting tools arranged in succession from the center of the forward portion, i.e., the input side, to opposite sides of the rear portion of the cutting tool mount, the cutting tools are gradually increased in the level of projection from the forward portion to the rear portion on the cutting tool mount and are resiliently supported on the cutting tool mount through springs.

Apparatus for removing torch-cutting slag of slab

In the process of conveying a slab from continuous casting or large ingot casting equipment by means of a conveyance table comprising conveyance rollers, the slab is stopped on the table and raised therefrom and, at the raised position, the slab is divided lengthwise thereof by gas cutting into at least two. The divided slabs are individually transferred to the downstream, where slags formed on the lower end edge of the cut surface of each divided slab are continuously removed.
