  • Lignite
  • Magnetite

The Challenge

Key Challenges in Pelletizing

While pelletizing helps improve furnace efficiency and resource utilization, many plants struggle with quality consistency, binder selection, and cost-effective production control.

Inconsistent pellet strength

Variations in raw material moisture, binder dosage, or mixing quality can lead to weak green and fired pellets. These inconsistencies increase breakage during handling and lower the overall yield.

Insufficient pore structure prevents gases from passing through effectively during reduction, slowing the furnace process. This leads to higher fuel consumption and limits downstream performance in blast furnace operations.

Poor reducibility and poor porosity

Poor reducibility and poor porosity

Insufficient pore structure prevents gases from passing through effectively during reduction, slowing the furnace process. This leads to higher fuel consumption and limits downstream performance in blast furnace operations.

Bentonite is too high

Excessive bentonite adds unwanted silica and alumina into the pellet, reducing Fe grade and increasing slag volume during smelting.

The Solution

Jianjie Solutions for Iron Ore Pelletizing

Jianjie’s pelletizing solutions focus on improving pellet strength, porosity and reducibility through advanced process engineering and binder solution.

Customize organic binders

Tailored binder designed to match your ore’s chemistry, improving pellet formation and stability.

Enhance pellet strength

Strengthens pellets at every stage—from wet (green) to dried and fired—minimizing breakage and improving handling.

Lower bentonite dosage

Reduced bentonite dosage from 20-50%, lowers ash and silica impurities, improving overall pellet quality.

Improve Iron Grade

Boost pellet iron grade with cleaner binder that contains less non-ferrous alloy and lower impurity input.

Iron Ore Pellet Binder Solutions

In iron ore pelletizing, the binder directly determines pellet strength, integrity, and performance in the furnace. The right binder ensures stable green and dry strength, controlled porosity, and consistent pellet quality, making it essential for efficient production and reliable downstream smelting.
