As the global steel industry accelerates its transition to a low-carbon economy, the combination of DRI technology and vertical lifting sidewall belting system is becoming an important breakthrough in the industry's green revolution. 

Hydrogen-based Shaft Furnace: The Core of the Low-carbon Transformation in the Steel Industry

With the advancement of global "Dual Carbon" goal, DRI technology is regarded as a key path for the steel industry to achieve green transformation.

However, the promotion of DRI technology faces numerous challenges. One of them is how to efficiently and stably transport raw materials (such as iron ore, pellet ore, etc.) to the top of the shaft furnace. Traditional transportation methods often have problems such as high energy consumption, low efficiency, and high maintenance cost, making it difficult to meet the high requirements of hydrogen-based shaft furnaces for continuous and stable operation.

Vertical Sidewall Belting: An Innovative Solution for Efficient Conveying

In response to material conveying in hydrogen-based shaft furnace applications, the vertical sidewall belting technology has emerged as required. It is capable of efficiently conveying materials under conditions of large inclination angles or even vertically. Its unique design not only saves floor space but also significantly reduces energy consumption and maintenance cost.

Advantages of the Vertical Sidewall Belting System

High Efficiency and Energy Saving: Through optimized design selection, the system can achieve efficient material conveying with low energy consumption, which is in line with the low-carbon concept of hydrogen-based shaft furnaces.
Stable and Reliable: The belting is made of high-strength materials and advanced manufacturing processes, enabling it to withstand harsh working conditions such as high temperature and high humidity, ensuring the continuity and stability of the conveying process.
