In the past 20 years, many sintering plants have continued to innovate traditional sinter material preparation technology. Japanese companies such as Sumitomo and Nippon Steel were the first to use vertical intensive mixers for mixing sinter materials. Through research and practice at Sumitomo Wakayama Third Sintering Plant, the use of a vertical powerful mixer instead of a cylindrical mixer has enhanced the mixing effect of the sintered raw materials, and the corresponding granulation effect has also been enhanced, ultimately making the sintered raw materials highly breathable. The sintering speed is increased by 10%~12%, and the coke powder addition ratio can be reduced by 0.5%.
