The Challenge You Know Too Well
Every ton of slag left unprocessed is a compliance risk, a disposal cost, and a missed revenue opportunity. With the EPA tightening industrial waste regulations and sustainability benchmarks rising across the supply chain, North American steel and metallurgical operations can no longer afford to treat slag as just “waste.”
There’s a smarter way.
Introducing the Younengde New-Generation DC Electric Arc Furnace
Engineered for high-performance slag processing, the Younengde DC EAF transforms your slag handling from a liability into a competitive advantage — with the energy savings to prove it.
Built for Slag. Built for North America.
⚡ Up to 15% Less Energy Consumption Our DC technology achieves a natural power factor of 0.95–0.98 — no reactive power compensation needed. That means fewer add-ons, lower utility bills, and a leaner operational footprint. In energy-conscious markets from Texas to Ontario, every percentage point counts.
🔁 Electromagnetic Stirring for Complete Slag Recovery The built-in electromagnetic stirring system ensures thorough mixing and eliminates “dead zones” in the melt bath. The result: higher metal recovery rates from slag, reduced material waste, and a cleaner output — whether you’re reclaiming iron, aluminum, or specialty alloys.
🧪 Integrated Electrolysis Function Need high-purity output from complex slag streams? Our electrolysis-capable design enables in-furnace separation, improving the purity and commercial value of recovered metals — without the need for additional downstream processing.
🔇 30–35% Lower Electrode Consumption Graphite electrode costs are a significant line item in any EAF operation. Our DC design dramatically reduces electrode wear compared to AC furnaces — cutting operating costs and maintenance downtime.
📉 Minimal Grid Disruption Voltage flicker from our DC EAF is only 20% of that produced by conventional AC systems. For facilities operating near grid-sensitive infrastructure — or where utility contracts penalize power quality issues — this is a direct bottom-line benefit.
🛡️ Industrial-Grade Safety & Automation Fully PLC-controlled with multi-layer protection: over-voltage, over-current, phase failure, and over-temperature. Designed for demanding 24/7 industrial environments.
Slag Processing Applications
Our DC EAF is proven across a wide range of slag types and industrial waste streams:
- Steel & Iron Slag — reclaim metallic value, reduce landfill dependency
- Aluminum Slag / Aluminum Dross — maximize aluminum recovery
- Calcium Aluminate Slag — produce high-value refractory and chemical-grade material
- Nickel Slag / Nickel Sludge — recover nickel and cobalt from industrial residues
- Grinding Wheel Ash & Abrasive Waste — safely recover embedded metals
- Industrial Hazardous Waste — non-toxic solidification and volume reduction compliant with RCRA standards
Proven Performance. Global Reach.
With over 37 patents and installations spanning Asia, Africa, and beyond, Younengde has a track record of delivering robust, scalable slag processing solutions. Our furnace capacities range from 50 kVA to 30,000 kVA, making us the right partner whether you’re running a mid-sized recycling operation or a large-scale industrial plant.
