Sinter Plant

Sinter Plant (SINTER):  A 33 M2 sinter plant, designed by Beijing Sino-Steel Industry & Trade Group Corp.(SSIT) and Jiangsu Province Metallurgical Designing Institute (JSMDI) Co. Ltd. The technology is based on principle of economical, applicable safe and operational. The annual production is 3,64,000 Tonnes.

Mini Blast Furnace (MBF)

Mini Blast Furnace (MBF):  A Blast furnace of working volume 350 M3 designed by MECON Ltd. to produce 3,00,000 MT/annum of basic grade hot metal has been installed and successfully commissioned. The hot metal is mainly used in the steel melting shop as a raw material and surplus hot metal poured in pig casting machine. The Pig casting machine is designed by KBS Paramount & capacity 800 Tonnes per day (TPD).

The Blast furnace gas is used for stoves heating, heating of preheating furnace of bar and section mill, heating of boiler ,sinter plant. Slag which is a byproduct is mainly sold to cement plants.

Direct Reduction Plants 

Direct Reduction Plants (DRP):  Based on Krupp’s Codir process. The DRPs can produce 2,62,000 tones per year of Sponge iron from iron ore and coal. Additionally, the flue gases help generate 30 MW of Electric power.

 

Power Plant

Power Plant (PP): A 30 MW Captive Power Plant is having two turbine set and two boilers. One boiler operates on the flue Gas from the Sponge Iron Plant (Direct Reduction Plant) and the other uses fine coal with fluidized Bed process.

Electro Slag Remelting (ESR)

Electro Slag Remelting (ESR)

Product Range: 1.8MT to 22MT

Features:

  • Pre-defined profiles for various stages of processing e.g. slag resistance setpoint profile or swing setpoint profiles.
  • Digital Operator interface and data acquisition system.
  • Furnace head provided with x-y angular corrections of an electrode and total sealed system for argon shielded melting.
  • Fume exhaust and environment protection hood.

Ingot Casting

Ingot Casting: With Modem facilities already existing for refining, degassing, and continuous casting of steel, Sunflag considered it is important to widen the current product mix to cater to the needs of specific application segments where ingots are preferred over continuous cast blooms. 

 Accordingly, Sunflag has commissioned a new setup for casting Wide End Up — Bottom Poured Ingots, Our ingot casting facility is capable of producing steel for critical applications like Tool 8L Die, Railways, Defence and Aerospace sector.

Phased Array Auto Ultrasonic Testing Salient Features

Phased Array Technology

Phased Array testing is a specialized type of ultrasonic testing that uses sophisticated multi- element array transducers and powerful instrumentation/software to steer ultrasonic beams through the test piece and map returning echoes.

No rotating movement, only electronic scanning is done:

  • Depth focalization for bar volume inspection (LW)
  • Electronic steering for bar surface inspection (SW)

Quality Highlights:

Capacity — 15 to 120 mm dia. Full bar volume inspection
