Iron Ore Pellets are essential components in the steel production process, serving as versatile and efficient feed material for Blast Furnaces, and Direct Reduction Iron (DRI) plants. These small balls of iron ore undergo a pelletizing process that involves mixing raw materials, forming the pellets, and subjecting them to thermal treatment baking. This process transforms soft raw pellets into hardened balls with diameters ranging from 8 to 16mm, ensuring uniformity in size and quality. 

These pellets exhibit superior characteristics, including a better tumbler index compared to parent iron ore, making them ideal substitutes for lump ore in the production of sponge iron and hot metal in blast furnaces. One of the key advantages of iron pellets is their high porosity, which accelerates the reduction process in blast furnaces. Their spherical shape and open pores facilitate greater permeability, enhancing furnace operations and efficiency. Additionally, their high strength minimises disintegration during the descent of burden, ensuring consistent performance in steelmaking processes.

Iron pellets play a pivotal role in steel production, offering a cleaner and more controlled raw material compared to scrap. While scrap metal is a valuable resource, it often contains impurities such as paint particles and other contaminants. In contrast, iron ore pellets are a fresh form of raw material, providing greater consistency and purity. This distinction allows users to choose based on their specific requirements and on the basis of price of each raw material.
