Jai Balaji Industries Ltd

Bentink Street, Kolkata, West Bengal

Our Group boasts of such Steel making facilities which not only encompass the latest technology in metallurgy, but also equipments to ensure quality standards and accuracy. Our Steel Melting Shops include an Electric Arc Furnace of 60 MT capacity per heat and 17 Induction Furnaces, which includes 5 numbers of 20 MT per heat and 12 numbers of 8 MT per heat furnaces. We have capacities to manufacture 1, 020, 430 MTs of Billets and Blooms, of which 100, 000 MTs is in Chhatisgarh, 114, 200 MTs in Orissa and 806, 230 MTs in West Bengal.

We manufacture Billets and Blooms at our Steel Melting Shops in Alloy, Carbon and Mild Steel Grades. Our facilities have been designed in a unique integrated manner, in which the Hot Metal from our Blast Furnace is directly poured in the SMS through ladles and overhead cranes. In the furnaces, DRI and Ferro Alloys are added in appropriate mixes to manufacture Liquid Steel. Our Oxygen Plant provides the furnaces with oxygen, required to create an oxidizing atmosphere in them for manufacture of steel.

We have also been approved by Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO), Ministry of Railways, for manufacture and supply of Carbon Steel Billets and Blooms for Forging. The minimum and maximum sizes approved for Billets is 100 x 100 mm and 130 x 130 mm respectively, while Bloom size 160 x 160 mm has been approved.

The Liquid Steel is collected in ladles using the Eccentric Bottom Tapping method for ensuring absence of slag, and sent to theLadle Refining Furnacefor desulphurization and then toVacuum Degassingfacility for maintaining the Oxygen and Nitrogen contents and removing gaseous elements such as Hydrogen, etc. Next, the Liquid Metal is sent to our Continuous Casting Machines (CCM) for molding them into Billets or Blooms.

With the large scale production of steel at our units and availability of Railway Siding within our plant premises, we are in a position to offer quantities beyond the capacities of our competition in the shortest possible time. We have been awarded the Star Export House Status by the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India.

At our Rolling Mill facility in Liluah, we undertake the rolling of Alloy, Carbon and Mild Steel Rounds, Flats and Squares. We are the oldest manufacturer of these items in the State and have created a niche for ourselves amongst our customers who include a number of Alumina Smelting giants such as Nalco, Vedanta, etc, where we supply Cathode and Anode Bars to their plants in India and abroad. We have been awarded the Star Export House Status by the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India.

We have also been approved byResearch Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO), Ministry of Railways, for manufacture and supply of Spring Steel Rounds with Silico Manganese up to 25 mm dia and with Chrome Vanadium and Chrome Moly Vanadium up to 45 mm dia

Ductile Iron is an alloy of Iron, Carbon and Silicon. If we observe the micro structure of grey caste iron, we will notice that graphite present in it is in the form of flakes. In the year 1948, the flakes structure of graphite was modified by adding magnesium to the molten metal. The resultant product of iron is now typically known as Ductile Iron. Ductile Iron Pipes have higher tensile strength, yield strength, ductility and impact resistance which are the reasons why the use of Ductile Iron Pipes has grown up at a rapid rate over the last 50 years or so.

Other special type of external coatings and linings which are available include Metallic Zinc coating having an average mass of 130gmsq.m with finishing layer.

JBG is the market leader in manufacture of DRI in the Eastern Region with an annual group capacity of 690, 000 MTs . In fact, our Group was the first in the State to pioneer and successfully set up the first coal based DRI plant in Raniganj, West Bengal in 1999.

The raw materials, namely Iron ore and Coal, are procured by our Group from the best mines in the country and through established linkages from different subsidiaries of Coal India Limited respectively. This gives us an edge to manufacture better quality of Sponge Iron with high Fe metallic content in the range of 82%.

The Sponge Iron manufactured at our units is distinct due to its high metallic content and consistent chemical and physical characteristics. This provides furnace owners flexibility in preparing their charge mix to produce finer quality than what is possible using steel scrap only.
We operate a mix of 19 numbers of indigenously developed rotary kilns to manufacture DRI (7 kilns of 50 TPD, 11 kilns of 100 TPD and 1 kiln of 350 TPD). Our facilities can manufacture 105, 000 MTs of DRI in Jharkhand, 120, 000 MTs in Orissa, 120, 000 MTs in Chhatisgarh and 225, 000 MTs in West Bengal.

JBG has state of the art facilities installed for the manufacture of Pig Iron at its plants in Durgapur, West Bengal. With the most advanced equipments set up in our laboratories, we have emerged as the market leader in the state for manufacture of quality Pig Iron.

The primary mineral raw materials required, namely Iron ore, Limestone, etc are procured by our Group from the best mines in the country. Coke used for the energy to smelt the ore is imported from countries such as China, Japan, etc., presently, we plan to set up a Coke Oven Plant for its manufacture to bring about economies in cost.

Our Blast Furnaces have been designed in such a manner so as to ensure optimum use of minerals at the least costs possible. We operate a 60 square meter Sinter Plant at our Blast Furnace site, which recycles the Iron-ore and Coke fines into Sinter Cakes to be used as feed for the furnace. This not only provides us with better recovery of iron, but also reduces our costs of production directly. Besides, our Pulverised Coal Injection Plant aims to reduce the Coke Rate in our furnaces, which again has a direct bearing on our cost saving efforts.

The different grades of Pig Iron we manufacture are

• Steel Grade Pig Iron; and

• Foundry Grade Pig Iron.

The Pig Iron manufactured at our units is distinct due to its low levels of Sulphur and Phosphorous. Low levels of these elements reduce the costs associated with desulphurization for furnace owners and help them with flexibility in preparing charge mixes. Further, the use of this product manufactured by our Company ensures high quality castings, free from defects due to low levels of impurities and intrusions. Consistent and appropriate levels of carbon and silicon help in providing excellent machineability of castings.

We operate 2 x 250 CuM and 2 x 50 CuM Blast Furnaces in Durgapur, West Bengal, which have a capacity of 509, 250 MTs of Pig Iron annually.

the largest manufacturers of Ferro Alloys. We have a production capacity of 1, 06, 000 MTs per annum which includes 5 Submerged Arc Furnaces in Durgapur, West Bengal; two 9 MVA Furnaces and three 16.5 MVA. In the current set up the concentration is on production of manganese based Ferro Alloys such as Ferro Manganese and Silico Manganese. Our commitment to quality is enforced by a dynamic quality control system with the most state of the art facilities for testing and we have experienced personnel to carry them out. Indeed, such commitment to maintain the quality of Ferro Alloys that we manufacture has helped us build relations with the Primary Steel Plants such as Tata Steel and SAIL.
