There are 2. MBF functioning in KFIL for manufacturing by adopting following procedures: PROCESS Iron with ferrous is reduced in he presence of metallurgical coke in a blast furnace into which they are charged along with fluxes in aprés determined production manner the carbon monoxide gas that raises up HT column or the change reduced that Iron oxide. The molten Iron is periodically tapped and cast in moulds placed ona large diameter turntable - the blast furnace process used for producing pig REGIONAL INSTITUTE OF CO-OPERATIVE MGMT, BANGALORE Q JORLOSKAR FERROUS INDUSTRIES LIMITED An Organizational Study At Kirloskar Ferrous iron in a process which is used world over the only difference in this case the small size of the blast furnaces in comparison with those seen in integrated steel plants. The mini blast furnaces process is already in use in several countries especially Brazil and China. There is viable in spite of its small size because of several capitals and operating cost. MOULDING First the pattern is prepared for moulds according to the requirements of the customers. High squeeze presence high density molding machine short squeeze for the box size. The health of the molding high quality dimension stability of the green sand moulds will be achieved to give dimensional close control of the casting molding machine. CASTING Casting is the final produce produced by KFIL, for producing casting the hot molten metal is poured in to the mould through runners of moulds and the hot metal occupies the shape of the mould and it is allowed to solidity. After solidification the caste item is reversed from the molding box and necessary operations like grinding and other process are carried out to set required dimensions according to the requirements.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS: 1. Charging the blast furnace: After processing, the ore is blended with other ore and goes to the blast furnace. A blast tower- shaped of steel, and lined with refractory or heat - resistant bricks. The furnace is a structure, made mixture of raw material, or charge, enters at the top of the blast furnace. At the bottom of the furnace, every hot air is blown, or blasted, in through nozzles called tuye’res. The coke REGIONAL INSTITUTE OF CO-OPERATIVE MGMT, BANGALORE /ORLOSKAR FERROUS INOUSTRIES LNAITED An Organizational Study At Kirloskar Ferrous = burns in the presence of the hot air. The oxygen in the air reacts with the carbon in the coke to from carbon monoxide. Cc + oO; _ 2cO (Coke) (Hot Air) (Carbon monoxide) 2. Separating the iron from the slag: The melted iron sinks to the bottom of the furnace. The limestone combines with the rock and other impurities in the ore to form a slag which is lighter than the iron and floats on top. As the volume of the charge is reduced, more is continually added at the top of the furnace. The iron and slag are drawn off separately from the furnace. The melted iron might go to a further alloying process, or might be cast into ingots called pigs. The slag is carried away for disposal. 3. Treating the gases: The hot gases produced in the chemical reaction are drawn off at the top and routed to a gas cleaning plant where they are cleaned, or scrubbed, and sent back into the furnace; the remaining carbon monoxide, in particular, is useful to the chemical reactions going on with in the furnace. A blast furnace normally runs day night for several years.
