Recently, the slow filling of the lock-hopper flushing water tank has caused delays in discharging slag from the lock hopper. What impacts might this have on the manufacturing process?
Delayed slag discharge may lead to the formation of sticky clumps between the slags; the program can be modified so that the pressure filling of the lockhopper flushing water tank starts earlier, thereby avoiding any impact on slag discharge. But we still should find out the reason for the slow water flow.
Incomplete slag removal and flushing each time creates a vicious cycle, which can lead to slag buildup in severe cases. It’s better to find out the reason for the slow water supply and address it. In the past, the tubes of our heat exchangers tended to get clogged, which caused slow water filling in the flushing tank.
