Steel Waste Pelletization Plant at CAP Acero in Chile for TMS International
Direxa recently completed a project at CAP Acero in Concepción – Chile for TMS international. The plant is designed to produce 4000 T/month of high-quality extruded pellets, allowing the waste reclamation of:
Mill scale
Blast furnace dust
Blast furnace sludge
Iron ore fines
Cokes fines
First, the mix is screened for a particle size control. The mix is then fed to a shearing extruder to optimize the plasticity. The next step is the agglomeration of the fines in a J.C. Steele 45 stiff extruder. Finally, the pellets are conveyed and stored for curing before feeding to CAP Steel Blast Furnace.
