Technology
Through a combination of more than 80 years experience, an uncompromising
commitment to our customers, and substantial capital investment, the Coke Division of
Sloss Industries Corporation has taken the science of making premium-quality blast
furnace and foundry coke to the highest level.
Continuous efforts to improve the quality of our product, and comply with our
customers' most exacting requirements, include the following:
- Rotary car dumper for unloading selected coals into the preparation system.
- Air blaster unloading controls that ensure a steady flow of coal for uniform
preparation.
- Coal pulverizers to ensure proper sizing of coals for optimum blending.
- Fourteen blending silos to separate and contain the sized coals prior to
blending.
- The establishment of standards for precise blending of coals as established
by petrographic analysis of individual coals.
- Bulk density control to ensure that the physical characteristics of the coke
delivered to our customers is consistent from one car to another.
- State-of-the-art quality control methodologies are used for sampling and testing. This
ensures that the proper coals are used in the correct proportions to achieve
the required coal blend. The data is then computer processed such that all information can be
recalled, and the blend duplicated, at any time.
- Sloss requires all coal suppliers to furnish
specifications on their products. The coals are then evaluated against the
chemical and physical parameters (including petrographic data) necessary to
ensure compliance with customers' standards.
