KAMAG Transporttechnik from Ulm delivers Slag Pot Carrier to the Emirate Qatar

A new slag pot carrier from the special vehicle manufacturer KAMAG Transport-technik hit the road to Qatar Steel Company in Qatar. The Emirate on the Arabian Peninsula possesses a modern steel industry, which the destination of the Kamag slag pot carrier, the steel mill in Mesaieed, belongs to.

Upon completion of the slag pot carrier, a delegation of the steel mill visited the manufacturer in Ulm giving its members the chance to convince themselves personally of the professional construction of the special vehicle. KAMAG is a worldwide leading manufacturer for this kind of vehicles and has already delivered slag pot carriers throughout the world. It is already the second vehicle for the steel mill in Qatar.

A hot job is waiting for the new slag pot carrier. In future, it will dispose the molten slag, which accumulates during steel melt at the converter. For this purpose, the sizzling slag, up to 1,300 degrees, is casted in special pots, weighing up to 50 tons in filled-up condition. Afterwards, the pot has to be discharged immediately on the slag disposal, before the slag begins to cool down. If this would happen, the expensive special pot could not be used any further. This demonstrates the importance of reliability and application safety of such a special vehicle.
