Two Intensive Mixing and Granulation Systems to be installed in sinter plants at two Usiminas steelworks locations – excellent homogenization of extremely fine iron ores

Siemens VAI Metals Technologies received an order from the Brazilian steel producer Usinas Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais SA (Usiminas) to install two Intensive Mixing and Granulation Systems in sinter plants located at the company's Cubatão and Ipatinga steelworks in southern Brazil. This solution will enable a high portion of pellet feed, which is normally not suitable for the sintering process, to be used in the company's sinter plants. The project will be jointly implemented on a full turn-key basis by the Metals Division of Siemens Ltda in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and Siemens VAI headquarters in Linz, Austria. The value of the order is a low two-digit million euro figure. Start-up of both systems is scheduled for late 2011.
