Even a modest improvement in the quality of the raw material can have a significant impact on both the final product quality and on the cost of steel production. Our iron ore processing plants can be retro-fitted to your existing Raw Material Handling (RMH) system to facilitate the processing of mined iron ore before it is fed to the furnace. The processing of iron ore delivers significant efficiencies to your operations.
Accurate screening through our wet systems allows you to unlock the true value of medium grade iron ores, reducing your reliance on purchasing only high grade ore and ultimately reducing your raw material costs.
We have developed advanced systems to ensure that the feed to your plant is accurately calibrated and offer the following benefits:
Silica and impurities require extremely high temperatures in order for it to be burned off. More the silica in the raw material, the more energy is used in producing the ore oxide. Our Wet Screening technology is extremely efficient in removing minus 60-micron material that results in the removal of significant levels of silica, alumina and clay.
Using perfectly calibrated clean ore reduces coke consumption by upto 6%.
Our wet screening technology can efficiently recover material upto minus 2mm size, with highest efficiency around the year, even during the monsoon season, which typically traditional dry screens fail to achieve. This results in increased recovery of calibrated lump ore and thus reducing overall production cost.
Fine particles and Alumina in the feed end up as accretions in the kiln walls. Lower Alumina in the feed means a considerable reduction in cleaning and maintenance of the kilns. Our Wet Screening technology also ensures lesser dust accumulation in the dust cleaning system reducing its cost implications.
