Sinter plant

A sinter plant is a facility used in the metallurgical process to produce sinter, which is an intermediate product used in the production of iron and steel. Sintering is the process of heating finely-ground iron ore along with other materials, such as coke and fluxes, to form a cohesive mass of particles, known as sinter. This process typically takes place in a sinter plant before the material is fed into a blast furnace for the extraction of iron.
