Sishen lump ore is an excellent alternative to pellets, due to its low degree of breakdown during handling and reduction in the blast furnace. This improved permeability leads to increased productivity of the blast furnace. Tests with various international lump iron ores show conclusively that Sishen lump ore is more permeable under blast furnace conditions. Sishen lump ore can also replace pellets without negatively impacting on blast furnace and direct reduction operations.

Lump ore for direct charge:

• 27mm 66% Fe lump: Designed to arrive at the customer with a low amount of undersize material, even after extensive handling. Unique, due to limited undersize material (13mm – 27mm)
  
  
• 20mm 66% Fe lump: Designed for blast furnaces and direct reduction processes. The lower mean particle size improves the reducibility, which results in lower fuel consumption and higher productivity (8mm – 20mm)
  
  
• 25mm 64% Fe lump: Designed for blast furnaces. Standard lump offering with superior undersize properties (8mm – 25mm)

Fine ore for sinter plants:

• 6,3mm 64,5% Fe fine: Ideally suited for sinter making due to the relative coarseness and the small amount of super-fine material (0,2mm – 6,3mm)
