The sintering process of iron ore feed can also be performed by replacing fine iron ores with coarse iron ore and heating them in a small-scale infrared furnace. The infrared furnace Model E4-10 Chamber-IR was used for the sintering process, which consists of four aluminum reflectors and four infrared lamps as shown in Fig. 5 .
Therefore, various agglomeration processes are used to deliver such finer raw materials to the blast furnace. Küttner is involved in these processes at various points. Sintering The most common agglomeration process is the sintering of fine ore. As a rule, larger amounts of circulation material are used in the sintering plant.
