What is a Graphite Slag Removal Rotor?
A Graphite Slag Removal Rotor is an essential tool in the aluminum alloy smelting process. Its primary function is to purify molten aluminum by dispersing inert gases such as nitrogen or argon into the liquid metal. The rotor rotates at high speed, dispersing gas bubbles that absorb and remove impurities, including oxides and non-metallic inclusions, ensuring a cleaner and purer melt.
