摘要： An apparatus for displacing a portion of a dross layer enclosed within an introducer sheath of a dip tank includes a gas source and a gas distributor. The gas distributor is in communication with the gas source via a gas line. The gas distributor includes one or more gas outlets or a gas emitter. The gas distributor is configured to direct a flow of gas towards the dross layer at an angle to move the portion of the dross layer away from a predetermined point.
