Sharif University Scientists’ Technological Initiative Increases Productivity of Steel Factories
“This machine with a storage capacity of 1 to 30 tons of bullets and an adjustable bullet charging rate, enjoys the capability to count the number of bullets fed to the mill, adjust the time intervals and the number of bullets to be fed to the mill, and separate bullets with a diameter of 25 to 125 mm and higher,” said Mohammad Dourali, a faculty member of Sharif University of Technology.
“Also, the device has a user interface for the operator to command and it can report the amount of bullets consumed, the amount of bullets in the tank, charge history and record amounts,” he added.
“Continuous charging of pellets in the mill is an alternative to the traditional method of manual charging, which increases the productivity of the mill, reduces fluctuations in the engine power and impact of the mill, decreases the required manpower and equipment, and records the history and a detailed report on the amount of charging,” Dourali said.
In a relevant development, an Iranian knowledge-based company produced integrated porous copper electrode of the slag valve with thermal conductivity to supply the needs of steel industry.
“The porous integrated copper electrode of the slag valve with thermal conductivity can be used in Iran’s steel industry because the product originates from melting furnaces. The electronic furnaces have a super heavy load,” Majid Rahimi, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
He added that the heat created in the body of this product passess through the water fluid inside the ducts.
“The competitive advantages of this product are high thermal and electrical conductivity, high mechanical properties for strength and high creep resistance, proper water circulation system, one-piece and all-copper body, reduced melting time, no adhesion of molten slag, easy passage of molten slag, preventing power outages of super heavy furnaces and long life,” Rahimi said.
