Metallurgy

The use of Eirich intensive mixers in these areas offers significant advantages to users.  Areas of processing which can benefit include

• pellets for blast furncaces or direct reduction
  - Low requirements in terms of binding agents, reduced energy requirements,
    increased green strength of the pellets with lower flow of returns, plus many other
    benefits
• Sinter mixes
  - High mixture homogeneitiy and perfect moisture distribution can be obtained for 
    optimum reaction conditions
  - Good agglomeration leads to less dust production, good gas permeabilitiy, and
    reduced coke consumption
• Recycling of residual materials
  - Optimal homogenization of dust and/or slurry mixtures with different physical and
    chemical properties originating from all kinds of metallurgical processes
  - Preparation of the mixtures for pelletizing, briquetting, extruding, pressing ... for
    further treatment in different thermal processes.
  - Drying and granulating of slurries containing heavy metals under vacuum according
    to the Evactherm^® method
• Fine ores for special processes
  - Stable agglomeration and mixture homogeneity when mineral or organic binder are
    used.
