The process of Pelletization converts Iron Ore Fines into “Uniform Size Iron Ore Pellets” that can be fed in the blast furnaces or in the DRI kiln (DRI). Pellets are uniformely sized, with purity of 63%- 68% contributing to faster reduction and high metallization rates.
Pellets with their high, uniform mechanical strength and high abrasive strength increase production of sponge iron by 25% to 30% with same amount of fuel. A wholesome 20-25% increse in sponge iron making. A perceptible improvement in productivity of iron making through blast furnace route due to the uniformity of pellets which results in better permeability.
