SINTERING PLANT -1

Sintering plant -1 has the capacity of 2.04 MT/yr based on the production from 4
m/cs. It works on the principle of Dwight-Lloyd process-down draft system.

Sintering Plant No. 1 comprises:a. Raw material receiving section.

b. Raw material screening & flux crushing section.
c. Fuel crushing & proporting section.
d. Storage & Propotioning section and
e. Machine building.
FUNCTION
To produce fluxed or super fluxed sinter. We are now manufacturing sinter of bas
icity 1.8 to2.0 with the following proportion of the material.
Ore fines:53.53%
Lime stone:23.4%
Coke breezw:5.18%
B.F Sinter return is 16.63 and moistuer in the charge is 6 to 8% Iron content of
the sinter is 51 to 53%. The proportion shown above are not constant and the co
mposition changer as per the requirement of blast furnace.
RAW MATERIALS RECEIVING SECTION
Ore fines, lime stone and dolomite are transported form the yard/ trench by OBC
to sintering plant receiving bunker (20nos.) coke breeze comes from coke oven by
belt conveyor to four coke receiving bunkers. The same also comes from B.F by w
agons and by truck from different yard. Volume of each bunker is 90cu.m. Ore fin
es can also be unloaded from BOBS wagons received from mines.
RAW MATERIALS SCREENING AND FLUX CRUSHING SECTION
Function of this section are:
a. Preparation of the ore mixture. The ore fines,
after being mixed up with m
ill-scale & lime dust
is subjedcted to screeing where by 12mm goes to
the
storages section and ore mixture and + 12mm
is terated as waste. Flue dust i
s directly
transpoted to storage bins.
b. Crushing & flux screening section -fuel crushing
is carried out in four-r
oll crushers, each with
the average capaciyt of 16 to 20 tones/hr. for
proper sintering more than 90% of the crushed
material should be of 3mm
size. The fuel after
being crushed is sent to the section.
FUEL CRUSHING & FLUX SCREENING SECTION
Fuel crushing is carried out in four-roll crushers, each with the average capaci
ty of 16 to 20 tones/hr. For poper sintering more than 90% of the crushed mater
ial should be of 3mm size. the fule after being crushed is sent to the storage s
ection. Crushed flux received from the hammer mills is screened and 3mm size is
transported to the storage section +3mm size is again sent to hammer crusher for
closed circuit grinding.
