Iron Ore Pellets are spherical agglomerates produced from iron ore fines through a pelletization process. Due to their uniform size, high iron content, and excellent metallurgical properties, pellets are widely used as a primary raw material in Blast Furnaces (BF) and Direct Reduction (DRI/HBI) plants.
Iron Ore Pellets ensure higher productivity, lower fuel consumption, and consistent performance,
