AUMUND Special Conveyor

Hot transport of Direct Reduced Iron The direct reduction is a modern process with increasing importance for iron production. In various direct reduction processes the transport of hot iron ore or iron is required in fine-grained, pelletized, compacted or briquetted form. This material may be transported smoothly with AUMUND special conveyors (upon request in inert atmosphere and with heat insulation) in temperatures up to 900°C . Conveying capacities up to 400 t/h, center distances up to 175 m and conveying heights up to 110 m have already been realized. For this application AUMUND can present various references, e.g. the AUMUND Bucket Apron Conveyor at POSCO (Korea) with the so far largest conveyor worldwide (as per July 2005). Further references are : - Cliffs and Associates Ltd. (CAL) / Trinidad [BZB 800/350, CC= 67 m, 140 mt/h, 900°C] - POSCO / Korea [BZB 800/350, CC = 151 m, height 110 m = world record, 210 mt/h, 800°C] - POSCO / Korea [KZB 800/350, CC =16 m, 180 mt/h, 800°C] - HISMELT Kwinana / Australia [BZB 800/300 CC =60 m , height 40 m, 195 mt/h, 850°C] - POSCO / Korea [BZB 1000/400, CC = 175 m, height: 82 m, 400 mt/h, 800° C] - Hadeed / Saudi Arabia [BZB 600/400 CC= 95 m, height 46 m, 250 mt/h, 800°C]
