It is the function of the sintering plant to process fine grain raw material into coarse grained iron ore sinter for charging the blast furnace.
To begin with, meticulously prepared mixtures are created consisting of fine ore, concentrates, extras and undersizes arising from screening lumpy burden components at the blast furnace. Ferriferous fine grain discharges from the production chain of the entire steel works are also put into the mixtures. By igniting suitable fuel, iron ore sinter is produced by down draft process. Normally, coke breeze from screening lump coke at the blast furnace is used as fuel. The daily production of iron ore sinter is approximately 7,000 tonnes.
