AIR COMPRESSORS IN THE IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY
ELGi provides a broad selection of air compressors for iron and steel plants that are specifically developed to fulfill their needs. Rotary screw air compressors are popular due to their efficiency and dependability in continuous operating conditions, making them ideal for activities such as blast furnace operations and pneumatic conveying. Furthermore, reciprocating air compressors are used because of their durability and capacity to manage high-pressure requirements, which are common in metallurgical operations. For energy-sensitive applications, ELGi's oil-free compressors are critical, providing clean, contaminant-free air for procedures where even minor oil contamination might result in product quality issues or machinery downtime.
COMMON APPLICATIONS OF AIR COMPRESSORS IN THE IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY
Air compressors are essential in the iron and steel industry for multiple applications:
Blast Furnace: Air compressors supply high-pressure air, facilitating combustion and enhancing iron production by delivering oxygen into the furnace.
Pneumatic Conveying: They utilise compressed air to transport materials such as iron ore, coal, and limestone through pipelines efficiently.
Air Tools and Equipment: Air compressors drive pneumatic tools like hammers, drills, grinders, and spray guns, enabling operations such as cutting, shaping, welding, painting, and surface preparation.
Cooling and Ventilation Systems: Compressors provide compressed air for cooling machinery and equipment, as well as for ventilation, ensuring a safe and comfortable working environment.
Control and Instrumentation: They operate pneumatic control valves, regulating the flow of gases, liquids, and materials throughout the plant, ensuring efficient and smooth operations.
