About Us

Tata Pigments Ltd has started the journey of By-Product Management from 2019. Presently Tata Pigments provides services to all Tata Steel Units across India. Tata Pigments provides scrap processing and recycling services to steel & metal industries. Metal recovery services of Tata Pigments offers sustainable solutions that maximizes environmental benefit and return processed and cleaned scrap to production units. Tata Steel Ltd has developed India’s first branded LD Slag products called Tata Aggreto for applications in road and Tata Pigments is the only authorized partner to make the Tata Aggreto. We are pioneers in value creation out of by-products as part of the Green Earth Movement quest to contribute to a sustainable ecosystem.

Drop Balling operation is cold operation executed by dropping 10 MT Ball, lifted by magnetic crane and dropping from standard height under gravity to break irregular Steel Jams & Skull of different size shape and weight. Impact action of balls breaks the steel jams into smaller pieces of required size and weight with removal of muck/slag from/within it and becomes ready for re-melting into Steel Melting Shop. Presently we are using 100 Ton PLM and Kobelco Drop Balling Crane at TSJ & TSK. With help of modern crane average production increased up to 11 Ton/Hours.

Oxy-fuel cutting is a thermal cutting process that uses oxygen and fuel gas (such as acetylene, propane, LPG ETC) to cut through materials. The oxyfuel process is the most widely applied industrial thermal cutting process because it can cut thicknesses from 0.5mm to 250mm, the equipment is low cost and can be used manually or inn mechanized way. It also reduces the red fumes and control the carbon emission level. In TSJ we are using GEGA Oxy Fuel Cutting Torches facilities. Presently we can process 35 Ton of materials per day from each torch.

Slag is the primary byproduct of steelmaking. As a result of growing environmental awareness, steel slag is now highly regarded as a recycled material that can reduce environmental impact due to its resource-conservation and energy-saving properties. To recover the metallic content in MRP, we are using mechanized methods to recover metal from slag. Our all the plants utilize state-of-the-art magnetic separation equipment to maximize the recovery of metallics from the raw slag. The processing plants include the latest technology in crushing and screening plant design to cleanly separate the slag and metal into different sized fractions depending on customer specifications and market demand. Also, we enrich the Fe content of metallic part.

Baling is the process of compressing scrap metal and waste materials into dense blocks. Baling machines, also known as balers, use hydraulics to crush the scrap metal into bales. Baling machines can compress both ferrous and non-ferrous metals into different shapes, such as cuboids or cylinders, depending on the density of the metals. The machines use hydraulics to operate the pressing mechanic that crushes the scrap metal into bales Baling can reduce transportation and storage costs and makes it easy to load into furnaces. Baling is a common practice in US, Europe & Middle East Countries and can be used to store waste for future energy use or to store recyclables for recycling.

Crusher buckets is an attachment for excavators, wheel loaders, backhoe-loaders, or skid steers. They're primarily used for crushing or recycle concretes but can also crush other materials like steel slag, ACBF slag and rock. If you don't need a specific fractions of material, bucket crushers are a cost-effective solution for smaller volumes. The biggest flexibility of bucket crushers is its mobility. It need be mounted to the excavator. It doesn't require any additional permitting compared to other crushers. Crusher buckets are portable and affordable and can be used to process materials on site. They can also recycle small volumes of rubble on demand without the need for mini or mobile crushers.

LD Slag, ACBF Slag, Pig Chips ,Pig Dust screening process refers to the process of separating different sized materials particles by screening. In Bucket Screening usually done using a rotating screen which is mounted on excavator. Screen buckets fixed with mesh that can be changed to different sizes depending on the customer requirement with the help of quick coupler attachment and it can be replaced with in 10 minutes. The screening process typically follows, after the crushing, grinding, accumulation of dust etc. Screening buckets are used for the primary selection, screening and separation of materials like LD Slag ,Pig Chips, Iron Dust etc. Facilities already started at Tata Steel Jamshedpur Plant.

Steam aging is a crucial process applied to steel slag before its use in road construction. After recovery of metal from the steel slag, it can use as aggregate in the road's base or sub-base layers. Steel slag roads have proven to be cost-effective, as they are approximately 30% cheaper to construct compared to conventional paving methods. Furthermore, these roads exhibit exceptional durability and resist weather changes resulting in significantly reduced maintenance costs. Steel slag contains with 44% of lime, To reduce the expansion ratio of materials it need to convert as lime free materials .In steam aging, it significantly reduces the aging time compared to air aging or natural weathering treatment.

Steel slag can be effectively utilized as a construction material for roads. When transformed into coarse and fine aggregates through the crushing process, steel slag becomes suitable for road making. Substituting steel slag for natural aggregate in concrete can enhance its compressive strength. The maximum strength is typically achieved when approximately 40% of the aggregate is replaced with steel slag. Before using steel slag as an alternative to natural aggregate, it undergoes a weathering process. The weathering treatment allows the steel slag to reduce its free lime content to acceptable limits. In Jamshedpur, TSL developed dedicated site with 2 acers of land for natural weathering of Steel Slag.

Cold cutting is a brittle cutting method that can be used to cut non-ferrous metals also its cut through a material without using heat or a flame and without producing sparks non-ferrous metals are softer than ferrous metals and include aluminum, copper, brass, and composites. In cold cutting method is specifically suitable for non-ferrous metals with properties such as low weight, higher conductivity, non-magnetic property or resistance to corrosion. After the processing material remains unchanged metallurgically. It is ideal for sensitive materials or those difficult to cut with traditional hot methods and safer to use in hazardous places due to the absence of fire or explosion risk.
