Abstract: As a pretreatment of a manufacturing process of sintered ore, a sintering material including iron ore, a SiO2-containing material, a limestone base powdery material and a solid fuel type powdery material is projected as a additional coating auxiliary raw material into the drum mixer with a additional coating conveyor disposed in proximity to an exhaust outlet of the drum mixer. Preferably, a sintering material excepting a limestone base powdery material and a solid fuel type powdery material is charged from a charge inlet of the drum mixer to granulate and in a region disposed on a downstream side, an additional coating auxiliary raw material including a limestone base powdery material and a solid fuel type powdery material is added, and thereby until reaching the exhaust outlet, the additional coating auxiliary raw material is deposited and formed on a exterior coating portion of the sintering material.

Abstract: A simple and economical manufacturing method of a sintering material for manufacturing a sintering material suitable for manufacturing sintered ore excellent in the reducibility and high in the cold strength, and an apparatus therefor are proposed. As a pretreatment of a manufacturing process of sintered ore for use in a blast furnace by use of a Dwight-Lloyd type sintering machine of downward suction, a sintering material including iron ore, a SiO2-containing material, a limestone base powdery material and a solid fuel type powdery material is projected as a additional coating auxiliary raw material into the drum mixer with a additional coating conveyor disposed in proximity to an exhaust outlet of the drum mixer.

Abstract: Hollow metal ingots are produced by a hollow metal manufacturing apparatus comprising a mold placed on a stool, and a cylindrical metallic cooling core placed in the mold to form an annular casting space therebetween. During the casting, a cooling fluid is directly blown upon the inner surface of the core while the cylindrical metallic core is allowed to be buckled. The cooling core is constituted by an outermost metallic cylinder to be brought into contact with a molten metal, a cylindrical lattice-fashioned buckling-adjusting frame positioned in the metallic cylinder and provides passages through which the cooling fluid is passed, and a cooling fluid vessel which is positioned inside the buckling-adjusting frame and is provided with a number of cooling fluid blowing nozzles.
