Ore Sinter and Pellet Testing and Assessment
We offer a wide range of facilities which test burden materials to establish their chemical, mechanical and metallurgical properties.
The facilities are used to test all burden materials including sinter, pellets, lump and briquettes. Specific sinters and pellets can be produced to a client's requirements using sinter and pellet boxes. Sinter box tests can also be carried out under conditions simulating flue gas re-circulation.
