Iron Ore Pellets

High-grade iron ore pellets (9-16mm) with ≥64% Fe content, optimized for blast furnaces and direct reduction (DRI) processes. Manufactured using advanced pelletizing technology with bentonite/lime binders for superior strength (≥250kg/pellet) and metallurgical performance.

Meta Description:Premium iron ore pellets (64%+ Fe) for efficient steel production. ISO/ASTM certified, high-crush strength (250kg+), low impurities. Optimized for blast furnaces & DRI plants. Global shipping available.
Categories

Iron ore pellets are essential raw materials in steel production, offering a consistent and efficient feedstock for blast furnaces and direct reduction (DR) processes. Manufactured through an advanced pelletizing process, fine iron ore concentrate is mixed with binders like bentonite and lime, then heated to produce durable, low-moisture pellets. These pellets enhance efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and support sustainable steel production.
