Iron ore pellets are solid, spherical agglomerates typically around 15 mm in size, produced from iron ore fines through a pelletization and high-temperature induration process. These pellets are dark grey to black in color and possess high mechanical strength, ensuring minimal breakage during handling and transportation. With a typical iron (Fe) content ranging from 62% to 68% and low levels of impurities such as silica, alumina, phosphorus, and sulfur, they are highly efficient for use in iron-making processes. Their uniform size and structure improve permeability and productivity in blast furnaces and direct reduction (DRI) units, making them a preferred raw material in modern steel manufacturing.

Iron ore pellets are small, spherical balls (typically 8–18 mm in diameter) made by processing iron ore fines. They are a key raw material in steel production, especially in blast furnaces and direct reduction (DRI) processes.

Iron Ore Lumps are naturally occurring pieces of iron ore that are mined directly and not processed into fines or pellets. They are typically sized between 10 mm to 40 mm and are widely used in the steel industry.

• Physical State: Solid (Lump form)
• Size Range: 10 – 40 mm
• Iron Content (Fe): Usually 55% – 65%+
• Moisture: Low compared to fines
• Processing: Minimal (no agglomeration required)

• ✔️ Can be directly used in blast furnaces
• ✔️ Better permeability → improves airflow in furnaces
• ✔️ Lower handling and processing cost compared to fines

• Used in iron and steel manufacturing
• Preferred in blast furnace operations
• Suitable for direct reduction processes (DRI) in some cases
