Hot melt Slag Granulation Electric Holding Furnace
Application of equipment:
This equipment is used to receive hot melt slag from ironmaking
blast furnace, through a small amount of tempering (adjusting the
mass of 10-15%), adjust the current and voltage to make the
temperature of the flow port is stable, and use the patented
equipment copper gate to control the flow of slag port, and
continuously transport to the centrifuge to prepare mineral wool.
Process description:
The slag bag containing industrial waste slag is transported to the
electric furnace workshop with a slag truck or rail car, poured
into the furnace, began to raise the temperature and adjust the
composition, and determined by temperature measurement and sampling
to meet the production requirements of mineral wool, and
transported to the centrifuge and subsequent mineral wool
production line to provide raw materials for the mineral wool
production line.
Structural features:
1. Less smoke emissions and obvious environmental benefits;
2. High efficiency: the melting efficiency of electric furnace is
twice that of coke cupola;
3. Electric furnace flow control is stable; Ensure the stability of
the stock flow from the following aspects:
① The volume design and electrode design of electric furnace are
reasonable;
② Precision design of water cooling outlet control;
③ Mobile chute with free movement.
4. Low energy consumption: the main power consumption of hot slag
in electric furnace: 350-400 degrees/ton of cotton, graphite
electrode consumption is 2-3kg/ ton of cotton.
5. High degree of electrical automation;

Hot Melt Slag Granulation Electric Holding Furnaces are specialized
environmental protection & energy-saving equipment integrating hot melt slag heat recovery, harmless treatment, and resource
utilization. Designed for the metallurgical, non-ferrous metal smelting, and
industrial solid waste treatment industries, the furnace realizes
the continuous granulation of high-temperature molten slag
(1300-1600℃) while maintaining stable temperature, converting waste
slag into high-value building materials (such as slag sand,
concrete admixtures) and recycling waste heat. It is a core
equipment for enterprises to achieve green production and circular
economy.
The furnace is a combined system consisting of an electric heating
holding unit, granulation unit, heat recovery unit, and automatic
control system. It uses electric energy as the heat source to keep
molten slag in a stable fluid state, then through
air-cooled/water-cooled granulation technology, converts the molten
slag into spherical or irregular granular products with uniform
particle size. It solves the problems of traditional slag treatment
(such as water quenching, air quenching) such as high energy
consumption, serious pollution, and low resource utilization rate.
- Temperature Stabilization: Maintains molten slag at 1300-1500℃ through intelligent electric
heating control, ensuring fluidity for continuous granulation.
- Efficient Granulation: Adopts advanced atomization granulation technology to produce
slag particles with particle size ranging from 0.1-5mm (adjustable
according to needs), with high sphericity and good particle size
distribution.
- Waste Heat Recovery: Recovers waste heat from molten slag through heat exchangers,
converting it into steam or hot water for production and heating,
reducing energy consumption by 30-50% compared with traditional
processes.
- Harmless Treatment: Completely solidifies heavy metals in slag through rapid cooling,
avoiding environmental pollution caused by leaching; meanwhile,
eliminates dust and harmful gas emissions during slag treatment.
- Resource Utilization: The granulated slag products can be directly used as high-grade
building aggregates, cement admixtures, or raw materials for new
materials, realizing the recycling of industrial solid waste.
- Feeding Stage: High-temperature molten slag from smelting equipment (such as
electric arc furnace, converter) is transported to the holding
furnace through a sealed chute.
- Temperature Holding Stage: The electric heating element heats the furnace body to maintain
the slag temperature at the set value (1300-1500℃), ensuring the
slag remains in a fluid state without solidification.
- Granulation Stage: The molten slag flows out through the bottom nozzle, and is
atomized into fine droplets by high-pressure air or water flow; the
droplets are rapidly cooled to form solid particles in the
collection bin.
- Heat Recovery Stage: The high-temperature flue gas generated during granulation and
the heat from the furnace body are recovered by the heat exchanger,
converting water into steam for recycling.
- Collection & Storage: The granulated slag particles are transported to the storage bin
through a conveyor belt, and can be packaged or directly sent to
the downstream production line.
- Energy-Saving & Environmental Protection: Recovers waste heat from molten slag, reducing fossil energy
consumption; no waste water, waste gas, or solid waste emissions
during operation, meeting international environmental standards
(such as EU CE, ISO 14001).
- High Resource Utilization Rate: The granulated slag products have high activity and good
mechanical properties, which can replace natural sand and gravel,
realizing "waste into treasure" and reducing resource waste.
- Stable & Reliable Operation: The electric heating system has stable heat output, and the
refractory material has high temperature resistance and corrosion
resistance; the automatic control system realizes real-time
monitoring and fault early warning, ensuring continuous operation
for 24 hours.
- Strong Adaptability: Suitable for various molten slags (such as steelmaking slag,
non-ferrous metal smelting slag, industrial solid waste
incineration slag) with different compositions and viscosities; can
be customized according to the user's slag composition and
treatment capacity.
- Low Operation Cost: The electric heating system has high thermal efficiency, and the
maintenance cost of components is low; the granulation process is
simple, reducing labor input.
- Metallurgical Industry: Steelmaking slag, ironmaking slag, and non-ferrous metal (copper,
aluminum, nickel) smelting slag treatment; recovery of waste heat
and production of building aggregates.
- Industrial Solid Waste Treatment: Treatment of incineration slag from municipal solid waste,
hazardous waste, and industrial waste; harmless treatment and
resource utilization of slag.
- Building Materials Industry: Production of high-grade concrete aggregates, cement admixtures,
and lightweight building materials from granulated slag.
- New Energy & Environmental Protection Projects: Supporting equipment for waste-to-energy plants, industrial waste
heat recovery projects, and circular economy industrial parks.
- Advanced Technology: Integrates electric heating holding, efficient granulation, and
waste heat recovery technologies, leading the industry in technical
maturity.
- Customized Solutions: Provides tailor-made equipment design and process optimization
according to the user's slag characteristics, treatment capacity,

- International Certification: The product has passed CE, ISO 9001, and other international
certifications, complying with the technical and environmental
standards of global markets (such as Europe, Southeast Asia,
Africa).
