ABSTRACT

Steel is a material used to build the foundations of society. Steel

is an essential material for society and an essential material for
sustainable development for people to satisfy their needs and
aspirations. Steel is a part of people's everyday lives, in both the
developed and developing world.
The topic of dissertation is “Study of Raw materials handling
system for a steel plant”. This is the theoretical, study type dissertation
based on the study of Raw Material’s handling plant of Bokaro steel
plant Bokaro, and data’s collected from different divisions of the SAIL.
This dissertation gives the idea of steel industry, different types of
raw materials, Handling of Material, Flow of Material, process involved
in steel making and different types of Material handling system and
equipments used in Raw Material Handling Plant.
This dissertation also covered types of equipments and their
problems.
This dissertation also provide list of Indian standards, list and
addresses of manufactures and suppliers of Materials Handling
equipments, Technical specifications of some equipments and cost of
different raw materials used in steel production.
In the case study of this dissertation, detailed information, of
equipments, raw materials, their sources, quantity of raw materials,
unloading, stacking, reclaiming and conveying systems, plant layout
and all other technical information at Raw materials handling plant of
Bokaro steel plant are provided and also find out problems in the Raw
Material Handling Plant of Bokaro Steel plant. One of the major
Problems is the
 ABSTRACT

moistening of raw materials due to open stockyards. One of the

possible solutions of this problem is constructing a shade to close the
stockyards. A detail about to shade is given in this work. Shading of
materials gives many long-term benefits and reduces production cost.
Any material handling system must be designed in such a way that
the unloading systems, the stockpile, the yard arrangement, the yard
machines are complementary and test meet plant requirements. The
overall system must be planned and designed, the equipment selection
is planned and designed, and the equipment selection must be made
subsequently for optimum results.
This Dissertation work helps in fulfilling the above purpose and helps
in establishing new steel plant particularly raw material handling plant
for steel plant.
