Compressed Induction Technology

A cleaner way to turn fine metal dust into solid, furnace-ready pellets — without binders and with less energy.

How It Works

Our process combines mechanical compression with targeted induction heating to agglomerate metal dusts into durable pellets.

Traditional pelletizing often relies on cement, lime or other binders and energy-intensive sintering. Compressed induction technology avoids these drawbacks by using pressure to form the pellet and induction energy to generate localized heat, activating surface oxides and promoting solid-state bonding.

The result is a high-density pellet with good metallurgical properties, ready for reuse in forging, sintering and electric steelmaking.

Compression + induction heating

The Process Flow

From dusty residue to furnace-ready pellet in six controlled steps.

1

Collection

Metal dust is gathered from filters, scrubbers and shop-floor collection systems.

2

Characterisation

Composition, moisture and particle size are analysed to define the recipe.

3

Preparation

Drying, screening and optional blending to reach the right feed properties.

4

Compression

High-pressure forming creates green pellets of uniform size and density.

5

Induction Consolidation

Targeted induction heating bonds particles without external binders.

6

Cooling & QC

Pellets are cooled, screened and tested before shipment to the customer.

Technical Advantages

Binder-Free

Eliminates costly binders and the contamination they can introduce into metallurgical processes.

Lower Energy Use

Induction heating is fast and energy-efficient compared with conventional sintering or kilns.

High Metal Recovery

Pellets retain valuable iron, carbon and alloy content, returning it to the production loop.

Consistent Quality

Controlled compression and heating produce pellets with repeatable size, density and strength.

Compact Footprint

The equipment is modular and can be installed close to the dust source, cutting transport.

Scalable

Units can be scaled from pilot trials up to full industrial throughput.
