Sinter Plant — Hot Sinter Dust
Control dust. Protect the process.
Zone Introduction
Sinter is a red-hot, abrasive material that generates dust during crushing, screening, and transfer to Blast Furnace.
Dust Generation Mechanism
- Discharging hot sinter (600–800°C) releases glowing dust
- Vibration of screens & crushers → Fine particulate release
- Transfer chutes cause airborne emissions
- Rapid cooling → thermal shocks break fines loose
Root Causes
High temperature material flow
Large dust quantity during breakage
Poor hood sealing at unload points
Regulatory + Production Impact
Fine dust spreads through sinter building
Corrosion & abrasive wear on equipment
Environmental exceedances during peak production
