Industrial Applications

Blast Furnace Dust Catcher Discharge
Controls gravity discharge of coarse dust from BF gas dust catchers while maintaining gas-tight seal against pressurized blast furnace top gas.
Sinter Plant De-Dusting Hopper
Discharges collected iron-bearing dust from sinter plant de-dusting hoppers for recycling back to the sinter mix without gas leakage.
DRI Product Discharge Isolation
Isolates hot DRI pellet discharge chutes from the reactor vessel, preventing process gas escape during product extraction and transfer.
