Sinter Plant Fans
Howden have been supplying fan products for the Sintering process since the early 1950’s. Our application knowledge and experience in these difficult applications ensures we can design fan solutions that fully meet all of process requirements.Enginee
Key benefits
Iron Ore Fines (dust) cannot be placed directly into the blast furnace to make Iron as it would block the passage of gasses inside the smelting vessel and snuff out the combustion process. To prevent this Iron ore is first processed into a material called Sinter.
Sinter is manufactured by mixing iron ore dust with coke and some other mineral additives. This mixture is then burnt at a relatively low temperature, in a sintering machine. This process causes the materials to fuse together into a porous “clinker” type material.
The fans that Howden engineer for the sinter plant applications are designed to specifically for the arduous conditions of the plant environment. High reliability and low maintenance are the main design considerations although there is increased client focus on plant efficiency.
