Iron Ore Pelletization Plant
A collective genius to deliver innovation solution, tailored to unique needs backed by our proprietary tools, established methodologies and experienced professional aided us into product integration in the field of Iron Ore Pelletization.
We thus pioneered India’s Iron Ore Pelletization plant and now rose to current position of trend setter and market Leader in this segment praised for the best Consistent Quality manufacturing Unit.
Iron Ore Pelletization is an agglomeration process of the disintegrated Iron Ore fines into Iron ore Pellet which is suitable for the utilization of downstream process of Iron Making. The Hira Process is the Ore ground to the required fineness through wet grinding process mainly by Ball Mills and the slurry is dewatered by pressure filtration to produce the Iron Ore Concentrate. The Iron Ore Concentrate produced is mixed with additives viz., Lime, Dolomite, Coke and Bentonite in suitable proportions to meet the required physical and chemical characteristics of the product produced. The mixed material is subjected to the green balling and further to the Indurating Grate, Kiln-Cooler process where the drying, pre-heating, firing and cooling takes place to complete the entire Induration process.
Our final fired Iron Ore Pellet acquires the best techno commercial and required physico-metallurgical properties for Direct Reduction Iron /Blast Furnace for Iron making. We continue to endeavor to be the best Raw Material solution for the DRI / BF segment of Steel Industry with many more innovations in pipeline. The product is marketed under the brand name of “ecopel.”
