After reaching the equilibrium temperature, the slag cake 32 needs to be cooled further in order to allow an easy separation of the slag particles and the steel balls. The slag cake 32 may be dropped directly into the water bath. In the embodiment depicted on Fig. 1 the slag cake is however first dropped out of the molds 18 onto a first impact plate 34 where the slag cake 32 is broken into smaller pieces. These pieces of slag cake then fall onto a cold runner 36 situated below the impact plate 34. Here, the pieces of slag cake 32 are further cooled and washed away by a powerful water jet 38. This water jet 38 may be provided by an ordinary Paul Wurth SA granulation head 40 (such as described in e.g. LU 88 380 and/or EP1 422 299) with about 1000 m3/h water mass flow.
