MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641061918 A) filed by Dr. Madhura. S, Bengaluru, Karnataka, on May 15, for 'novel design and analysis of rotary slag skimmer apparatus for metallurgical applications.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Madhura S.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an automated rotary slag skimmer apparatus for metallurgical applications. The apparatus includes a support frame, rotary shaft, rotary arm, heat-resistant skimming blade, actuation system, drive motor, and control unit. The skimming blade is automatically positioned and rotated across the surface of molten metal to remove slag and discharge it into a collection area. Structural safety and operational reliability are verified through static structural, modal, and transient finite element analyses using ANSYS software. The apparatus reduces slag removal time from approximately ten minutes to approximately two minutes, thereby improving operational efficiency, lowering labor requirements, and significantly enhancing worker safety in high-temperature furnace environments."
