BEI removes hot slag from underneath of furnaces using two methods according to the plant design:

Pot carrying: Using special slag pot carriers, the slag is poured directly into the pot from underneath the furnace where it is the taken to a nominated tipping station to be cooled. The cooled slag is then transported to the metal recovery plant.

Underneath furnace digging:
Using special loaders, the slag is taken from under the furnace after tipping and transported to cooling bunkers, then taken to the metal recovery plant.

BEI manage to move ladle slag , waste material , used bricks , skulls ,tundish ,ladle pots and emergency blocks from melt shops to recovery plants.
