Travelling Grate

The travelling grate is a continuous thermal processing machine widely applied in modern travelling grate pellet plants for iron ore pelletizing. It provides controlled drying, preheating, and oxidation of green pellets prior to high-temperature firing, ensuring stable pellet quality and efficient heat utilization.

    Key Features

    The Travelling Grate delivers high efficiency, reliable operation, and high throughput for iron ore pellet plants.

    Efficient utilization of hot process gases for pellet drying and preheating in a travelling grate pellet plant.
    Stable and uniform pellet bed permeability on the travelling grate.
    Flexible thermal zoning for different ore types and pellet specifications in the travelling grate system.
    High mechanical reliability of the travelling grate machine for continuous operation.

    How it Works

    In a travelling grate pellet plant, the travelling grate conveys green pellets on a moving grate bed through multiple controlled thermal zones, including drying, preheating, and oxidizing sections.

    The system directs hot gases recovered from the rotary kiln and annular cooler through the pellet bed, enabling efficient gas–solid heat exchange. This process ensures uniform temperature distribution and prepares the pellets for stable and efficient firing in the rotary kiln.

    FAQ

    What types of Travelling Grate Machines are available?

    Travelling grate machines support multiple pelletizing process routes, such as oxidation pelletizing, metallized pellet production, and low-temperature reduction.
    Accordingly, the key differences lie in the required process atmosphere and thermal design.

    Why is the grate-kiln combination preferred for oxidized pellets?

    The travelling grate handles efficient drying and preheating, while the rotary kiln ensures uniform high-temperature firing. Together, this combination delivers excellent fuel efficiency and pellets with high compressive strength.

    Can the grate be customized for specific production capacities?

    Yes. The travelling grate design allows machine dimensions and process configurations to be customized to match the required plant output.

    How do you ensure the durability of grate plates?

    The travelling grate uses high-nickel and high-chromium heat-resistant alloy steel to resist oxidation, deformation, and thermal fatigue under harsh operating conditions.
