How BEILITE Hydraulic Hammers Improve Smelter Performance
Optimized Equipment for High-Temperature Smelting Operations
In steel production, the removal of slag from blast furnaces is an essential process that demands specialized, heat-resistant equipment. Extreme temperatures, molten metal residues, and aggressive operating conditions pose significant challenges, requiring robust and high-performance hydraulic attachments. BEILITE Europe’s BLTB-5 Series hydraulic hammers and ACDE Europe’s AMG Series multi-grapples provide an efficient, durable, and industry-proven solution for these demanding applications.
Hydraulic Hammers Designed for High-Temperature Applications
For slag removal and breakout operations, BEILITE Europe offers models from BLTB-85-5 and above, specifically engineered for high-temperature environments. These hammers incorporate:
- Fully enclosed, sound-suppressed housing with water circulation cooling to prevent overheating in extreme smelting conditions.
- Water cooling system consisting of a tank, pump, pipe network, and radiator to regulate operating temperatures.
- Iron plugs replacing all rubber components, eliminating the risk of heat damage.
- Modified oil pipes and hoses, switching from standard rubber to heat-resistant mount caps, reducing fire hazards and increasing longevity.
These features ensure safe and efficient slag removal while extending the operational life of both the hammer and surrounding equipment.
Precision Handling with AMG Series Multi-Grapples
Once slag is broken out and cooled, controlled removal is crucial for maintaining efficient furnace operations. The AMG Series multi-grapples provide optimized handling and transport of slag and other heavy materials, thanks to:
- Lightweight yet robust construction, ensuring optimal force distribution.
- Short overall height, allowing for operation in confined spaces.
- Motionless cylinders with end damping, reducing wear and increasing longevity.
- Wear-resistant steel and chromed, hardened pins, designed for heavy-duty applications.
- Kinematic link design for maximum pinching power.
- Reversible and replaceable wear blades, enhancing durability and efficiency.
- Closed slewing ring with grease bed, improving reliability in high-temperature environments.

Additionally, optional side plates allow the AMG Series grapple to function as a two-shell grab, making it possible to handle bulk materials like sand, gravel, or pebbles—further extending its versatility in industrial settings.
The combination of BEILITE Europe hydraulic hammers and ACDE Europe multi-grapples provides a comprehensive solution for smelters, steel mills, and foundries, offering:
- Efficient slag removal after tapping processes.
- Reduction of furnace downtime by streamlining clean-up operations.
- Minimized manual labor and improved workplace safety.
With their proven durability and specialized design for extreme conditions, these attachments are an essential addition to modern steel production and smelting operations.
