Foundry Skimmers for Dross and Slag Removal
Ejector Solutions offers foundry skimmers used to remove floating dross, slag and other surface residues during molten-metal handling. Skimming helps operators prepare the melt surface for subsequent processing and pouring. The correct skimmer material, geometry and handle configuration depend on the alloy, operating temperature and plant practices.
Types of Foundry Skimmers
1. SS Skimmer (Stainless Steel)
Stainless steel skimmers are an option for foundries requiring corrosion-resistant tooling. Suitability for direct molten-metal contact depends on the stainless steel grade, temperature, exposure duration and alloy chemistry; confirm the specification for your process.
2. MS Skimmer (Mild Steel)
Mild steel skimmers are a practical option for many general foundry skimming tasks. Selection should consider the melt temperature, expected service life, possible metal contamination and replacement frequency.
Available Skimmer Sizes
| Skimmer Type | Available Sizes |
|---|---|
| SS Skimmer | 7", 8", 9", 10" |
| MS Skimmer | 7", 8", 9", 10" |
Sizes are nominal; confirm whether the measurement refers to head width or diameter and confirm handle length before purchase.
