OREANDA-NEWS. January 29, 2013. Two slag pot carriers (110 tons), the largest ones in Asia in terms of dead weight tonnage, were smoothly delivered for service in Fujian Fuxin Special Steel Co., Ltd. These two carriers were designed and manufactured independently by the Heavy Machine Company of MCC Baosteel Technology Services Co., Ltd. (BTS), and the manufacturing process lasted for as long as one year, reported the press-centre of MCC.

This is deemed to be a new historical breakthrough achieved by the Heavy Machine Company, following the production of the slag pot carrier (100 tons) in 2008, which was the largest one in China at that time. The protection grade of the cab is rated as IP65 (dust-proof and closed, proof of water jet).

The rated load capacity is 110 tons and the maximum load capacity is 120 tons. In comparison with the former slag pot carrier (100 tons), the dead weight is deducted by about 5 tons. Moreover, several advanced technologies have been employed, for instance, pot tunbler of 180°, emergency power steering, double-line explosion protection technology, and buffering technique for pot lifting and laying-down. On this ground, the safety and stability of the overall carrier have been enhanced up to the leading level of the whole world.

The Heavy Machine Company of BTS has been engaging in R&D and manufacturing of slag pot carrier for quite a few years, and thus established itself into the domestic leading producer of such carriers. The various types and tonnages carriers independently developed and produced by the company have been widely applied in all the major steel works of China. The successful delivery of the largest carriers of Asia has once again proved the outstanding strength of the Heavy Machine Company of BTS in this industry in China.
