Iron Pellets
Iron pellets are spherical, high-grade raw materials used primarily in steel production. These pellets are created from iron ore fines through a pelletizing process that ensures consistency in size, high iron content, and low impurity levels, making them ideal for blast furnaces and direct reduction processes.
Key Specifications:
- Iron Content (Fe):63% – 67%
- Size:8mm – 16mm
- Moisture Content:< 2%
- Silica (SiO2):< 5%
- Alumina (Al2O3):< 2.5%
- Sulphur (S):< 0.01%
- Phosphorus (P):< 0.05%
- Bulk Density:1 – 2.3 g/cm³
- Compression Strength:> 250 kg/pellet
Applications:
- Steel Production:Used as feedstock in blast furnaces and direct reduction iron (DRI) plants.
- Foundries:For manufacturing high-quality steel and iron castings.
- Energy Efficiency:Preferred for their energy-saving properties in smelting processes.
Advantages:
- High-grade and uniform quality for efficient steelmaking.
- Reduced impurities for lower slag production.
- Improved metallurgical properties for optimal performance.
- Eco-friendly manufacturing processes.
