Control on Blast Furnace Skip Car Derailment by use of Pareto Analysis

The skip car in blast furnace is used to transfer and charge raw materials such as coke, iron ore, sinter and additives like limes stone dolomites into the furnace. This Skip Car has to withstand heavy wear caused by loading and unloading of those raw materials onto the Car body, which subjects it to derailment while delivering the charge raw material into the blast furnace. If skip car derailed during travelling material charging stopped in blast furnace has been stopped and due to that hot metal production has stopped. Most of the derailment occurs during skip car return from dumping level near of track changing area. Due to derailment of skip car skip bridge structure and skip car body got damaged, also repositioning of skip car is difficult task as car gets toppled from track. We have required to strengthening of bridge structure which got damaged during skip car derailment. For this purpose, corrective measures are suggested to minimize the derailment of skip car with the help of Quality Circle tools.
