Coal not oil
The Finnish steel producer Ruukki Metals Oy is converting its blast furnaces at the Raahe site (Finland) from oil injectors to more cost-efficient Pulverized Coal Injection (PCI). In doing so, Ruukki is boosting its competitiveness on the price-sensitive world market. The new injection systemis supplied by Claudius Peters Projects GmbH. Two LOESCHE mills LM 23.2 D will be installed to handle the coal grinding. The production rate of the mills is 33 t/h at a fineness of 20 % > 0.09 mm and a gearbox capacity of 460 kW. A variety of special customer wishes was considered when engineering the plants. However, LOESCHE GmbH managed delivery within the ambitious time schedule.The plants are expected to go into operation in the third quarter of 2015 with a delivery period of eight months.
