The challenge
The sinter plant has to support the blast furnace in producing hot metal on a high production level at low cost.

Our solution
The basis automation system provides a sound foundation for modern sinter plant operation. Anticipatory consideration of the delay times and precise execution of the setpoint enables smooth production. The optimization system leads to a shift-independent, accurately defined process control. This assures low cost production within a well defined quality range at high productivity levels.

Advantages of SIMETAL Sinter VAiron
  • Shift independent, well defined operation
  • Reduction of coke rate
  • Productivity increase
  • Reduced standard deviation of quality parameters

Environmental Care
  • Reduced coke rate in raw sinter mix
  • Higher productivity leads to higher sinter ratio in BF burden - which leads to a reduced fuel demand of the BF
