Overview
The purpose of the blast furnace in the steel production process is to produce molten iron from iron ore, coke and limestone. Blast air generated by a turbo blower is blown in from the bottom of the furnace. The hot air starts a chemical process that converts iron oxides into liquid iron, which is then processed into steel plates. The blower also provides the needed gas power to overcome the resistance force of the charge. Modern large and medium blast furnaces use a centrifugal blower or axial blower which is driven by steam turbine.
