Pelletization

In Grate-Kiln process, green pellets are fed on oil or gas-fired endless Straight Grate machine where they are dried and preheated. The preheated pellets are then fed to a rotary kiln where their temperature is raised in oxidizing atmosphere to 1290–1400 °C. In induration, ore grains are sintered together with oxidation and slag-forming bonds.
