Pellets

Pellets | Adukia Industries

Pellets are a type of agglomerated iron ore fines which has better tumbler index when compared with that of parent iron ore and can be used as a substitute of lump ore for the production of sponge iron and in blast furnaces for the production of hot metal. The iron pellets are produced with cold crushing strength (CCS) of 210+ and porosity of 24+” which helps to maintain grade in DRI fem – 80+ and our product mean particle size (MPS) is ~9.5-10 which assists in reducing oxygen in kiln and maintain consistency in grade. Iron Pellets are used as raw material for sponge iron and blast furnaces.

AIC can produce various grades/quality of pellets because of having a rotary kiln where the pellets are heated and fired uniformly. The process can use multiple ores simultaneously by applying the art of raw material blending. Pellet process helps save energy i.e. power because of excellent heat recuperation and lower drop in pressure of gases.
