The application area for electric magnets is within steel scrap handling, the recycling processes, loading and unloading scrap and handling of ingots in steel and forging mills. GVA Krefeld produces housings for electric magnets according to customer’s requirements and drawings. Our magnet housings with a round configuration reach up to a diameter of 6 meters; rectangle housings have no limits in sizing and can be also produced in segments. The housing design and configuration can be individually executed according to the requirement.

GVA delivers the basic cast body, which is used by the customer to install his own accessories. As the choice of material for the base body plays an important role in performance and quality we are able provide support finding the correct material mix. GVA has developed a vast extent of improvements for modern magnets gained by the engineering support of active projects and holds a well-founded know how in this special segment.

The name GVA stands globally for: THE SLAGPOT COMPANY
We develop your slagpot exactly according to your requirement, incorporating our design considering all your modalities and means of transportation. We draw special focus on the connecting dimensions and performance ratio.

Our Slagpots will match your existing equipment considering our design philosophy – no matter if there are multiple types of transfer cars, other mobile equipment or simple operation by crane. We are able to assist with complete planning and concept of slagpots within your steel mill. The slagpots will be individually adjusted to the respective application.
