Reclaiming entrapped ferrochrome from slag through PLC-controlled gravity jigging — turning a by-product into recovered metal and reusable aggregate.
The Company operates a state-of-the-art Metal Recovery Plant (MRP) built around imported and indigenous jigging systems, fully automated through Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). The plant recovers entrapped ferrochrome granules from the slag generated during Ferro Chrome and Charge Chrome production, returning valuable metal to the process while leaving a clean, reusable residue.
Slag generated during Ferro Chrome and Charge Chrome production carries roughly 2% of entrapped metallic content.
The slag is crushed to below 20 mm to liberate the trapped ferrochrome granules.
Crushed slag is processed through imported and indigenous jigging systems, automated via PLC.
Ferrochrome granules and free slag pieces are separated from one another by gravity.
The recovered granules are returned to the production value chain as reclaimed metal.
The remaining material is separated out as clean slag chips (tailings), ready for reuse.
The separated slag chips are sold locally for pit filling, road construction and other construction uses, so the entire slag stream is productively reused — supporting the Company’s chrome-recovery, waste-management and environmental-protection initiatives.
