Sinter plant

Ore pellets are sent to the sinter plant, where the sinter is obtained. In the meantime coal is sent to the coke oven, where it is made into coke. During the process all gas impurities are removed from coal, as a result of which it becomes appropriate fuel for the blast furnace.

Blast Furnace

Sinter and coke mix is then sent to the blast furnace. At the temperature of approx. 2,000°C, coke combustion enables melting and reduction of iron.

Converters

Thus obtained hot metal is then transported via so-called torpedo ladles from the blast furnace plant to the steel shop, where in basic oxygen converters steel is produced. With ladles workshop, we can fasten the process and lower the steel temperature decrease level and by doing this, limit the necessity of further heating up the steel. This results in lower energy consumption during the production process and much smaller impact on the natural environment.

Continous casting

It transported in laddles to the casting department, where it is subject to continuous casting, as a result of which semi-products are produced: billets, blooms and slabs. 

Rolling

Semi-products are made into the final product via hot and cold rolling. Additional processing methods of flat products include hot dip galvanizing and organic coating.
