Direct Reduction Technology Plant

The company produces the finest quality of Sponge iron through Direct Reduction Process in its Rotary Kilns. The Iron Ore & Coal is fed into the kilns operating at the desired heating temperature from the Kiln Inlet. The temperatures are gradually increased from 700 degree C to 1050 degree Celsius, in a reducing atmosphere with controlled air flow and Kiln Pressure for the reduction process, as the ore moves gradually. The hot sponge iron is transferred to the cooler for indirect cooling through water on the cooler shell and exits at a temperature of 80 degree C. The sponge iron and char are conveyed to the Product Separation Bin where Metallic Iron is separated from Dolochar through high intensity magnets. In continuation, the enthalpy of waste heat exiting the Kiln Inlet is used for converting de-mineralised water into High Pressure steam to be used for Power Generation.

Steel Melting Shop

The sponge iron is melted in melting furnaces to convert its solid state into liquid. Here, cast iron is used to create a melting bath for sponge iron to melt and correct the basic chemistry. The liquid metal is further refined in refining furnace to achieve the desired chemistry as per BIS Standards. Bath samples are drawn to check the desired chemical composition before the next stage. Once, the chemistry is achieved, the Liquid metal is casted into Billets at the Continuous Casting Machine in desired length and sizes as per the customer requirements.

Rolling Mill

The company has a state of the art automated rolling mill using billets through DHC technology. The Billets are rolled through successive passes until they are drawn to the desired size and quenched through the world renown THERMEX QST Technology and handled on the cooling bed. The bars are left to self temper and cut in uniform lengths. These are further bend as per market requirements at automated bending machines and stored in covered sheds. The entire process is monitored through SCADA and quality checks conducted at each stage to ensure zero defect.

Power Plant

The company has a combination of Waste heat and Coal fired boilers for converting de-mineralised water into steam of desired pressure and temperature for power generation. The company operates two captive power plants to produce power for running the plant operations. The entire synchronisation is done to ensure maximum plant efficiency and availability. Energy management in all processes are monitored through a robust Energy Management System with conservation at every stage. Energy saved is Energy generated.
