Key Applications of High Pressure Blowers in Steel Industry
1. Pneumatic Conveying of DRI (Direct Reduced Iron) / Sponge Iron
High pressure blowers for conveying DRI/sponge iron from reduction kilns to storage and briquetting plants. This is the most demanding application requiring 0.6-1.2 bar pressure and abrasion-resistant construction.
2. Iron Ore Fines & Additives Conveying
Pneumatic conveying of iron ore fines, coal dust, limestone powder, and other additives to sintering plants and blast furnaces.
3. Fly Ash & Dust Collection Systems
High pressure blowers for conveying fly ash from ESP/bag filter hoppers to storage silos. Highly abrasive material requiring abrasion-resistant construction.
4. Furnace Combustion Air
High pressure air for reheating furnaces, soaking pits, and heat treatment furnaces. Requires clean air at moderate pressure (0.3-0.6 bar).
5. Bag Filter Reverse Pulse Cleaning
High pressure (0.5-1.0 bar) blowers for cleaning filter bags in dust collection systems throughout the steel plant.
6. Aeration Pads for Silo Discharge
Low-medium pressure (0.2-0.4 bar) blowers for fluidizing material in silos to promote discharge.
7. Cooling of Equipment
Spot cooling for electrical rooms, transformers, and heavy machinery.

DRI / Sponge Iron Conveying – Special Considerations
DRI (Direct Reduced Iron) and sponge iron are dense, abrasive materials that require special consideration for pneumatic conveying:
- Higher Pressure Requirement – 0.6-1.2 bar (6,000-12,000 mmWC) for typical conveying distances.
- Abrasion-Resistant Construction – Hardox/AR plate or ceramic lined bends and components.
- Heavy-Duty Bearings – For continuous operation with heavy loads.
- Inlet Filtration – To prevent dust ingress into the blower.
- Low Velocity Conveying – Dense phase or medium phase conveying recommended to reduce wear.

Frequently Asked Questions – High Pressure Blower for Steel Industry
1. What pressure is required for pneumatic conveying of DRI/sponge iron?
DRI/sponge iron is a dense material requiring higher pressure for conveying. Typical requirements are 0.6-1.2 bar (6,000-12,000 mmWC) for dilute phase conveying over 100-200 meters. Dense phase systems may require 1.0-1.5 bar. Shivam Engineering & Fabrication can calculate exact requirements based on your system design.
2. Can your blowers handle highly abrasive DRI dust?
Yes. For DRI/sponge iron conveying, we offer Hardox/AR plate construction, ceramic-lined inlets, and heavy-duty abrasion-resistant coatings. Our blowers are specifically designed for long life in abrasive steel plant applications.
3. Do you provide high temperature blowers for furnace combustion air?
Absolutely. For reheating furnace combustion air applications (typically up to 300°C), we offer high temperature blowers with water-cooled or air-cooled bearings, high-temperature grease, and heat-resistant shaft seals.
4. What is the difference between a multi-stage centrifugal blower and a rotary lobe blower for DRI conveying?
Multi-stage centrifugal blowers are more efficient for higher flow rates and moderate pressures (0.5-1.2 bar). Rotary lobe (PD) blowers provide constant flow regardless of pressure and are better for dense phase conveying and varying backpressure conditions. Both are used for DRI conveying depending on system design.
