An integrated system for hot-dross processing and metal recovery in aluminum casting shops, connecting separation, controlled cooling, size reduction, classification and fume extraction.
Process role#
The system is configured around the continuous path from furnace-side hot-dross transfer to classified discharge. After molten aluminum is separated from the dross, the remaining material moves through controlled cooling, size reduction and screening, reducing manual transfer between high-temperature stages.
Operating sequence#
- Transfer hot dross from the furnace area into the enclosed processing station.
- Use a lifting and rotating agitator to support separation of molten aluminum from dross.
- Move the remaining material into a rotating drum for controlled external cooling.
- Reduce, screen and collect the cooled material by the required size fractions.
Key technical data#
| System boundary | Hot-dross processing, molten-metal separation, controlled cooling, milling or crushing, classification, conveying and collection. |
|---|---|
| Material interfaces | Separate molten-aluminum outlet, dross discharge path and mechanical transfer interfaces between stages. |
| Fume-extraction interface | Extraction connections at the processing enclosure and dust-generating stations, engineered to the site dust-control boundary. |
