Ways of Optimizing the Preparation of Sintering-Machine Charges

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

Abstract

Studies that were performed led the the following recommendations on optimizing the preparation of charges for sintering: improve the mixing (homogenization) of the charge, possibly by using high-speed paddle mixers, screw-driven pan-type mixers, or large mixing drums with a mixing coefficient of 0.95; intensify the balling of the charge in balling drums (high-intensity-rumbling regime); optimize moistening by using fine-spray water nozzles that employ compressed air; introduce automation systems at the stages of primary mixing and balling (high-intensity-rumbling regime), as well as moistening.
