In most cases after the sinter discharge, crushing and hot screening, the sintered material proceeds to a separate cooler. This is typically a rotating structure, divided into circular sectors with tipping devices, in which the sinter is placed in a layer more than 1 m thick and cooled by fresh air.
When the sinter has completed the cooling cycle, each sector is emptied via the tipping device. The cooled sinter is transferred to screens that separate the pieces to be used in the blast furnace.
Both the charge and discharge of the cooler deteriorate the surfaces whose lifetime can be increased with our CDP® wearplates.
