Technology Adoption

Balasore Alloys

The company adopts the most advanced technologies into its manufacturing process to ensure desired quality of its products. The advanced process technology and sophisticated equipment have been acquired from World leaders of Metals & Ferro Alloy equipment like ELKEM, MINTEK, Tenova-Pyromet.

The manufacturing process is fully automated using advanced control systems acquired from Rockwell Automation. SCADA systems were introduced way back in 1989 and same has been upgraded to new generation “control Logix” system of Rockwell Automation 2007 to facilitate operation of furnace electrode, weighing and batching system to maintain the consistency of the operation.

A highly sophisticated real-time computerized system enables better monitoring and control of all aspects of furnace operation. Sophisticated web-based real-time monitoring systems enable the production team to monitor the process from anywhere across the globe.

The manufacturing process is power intensive and power is sourced from the regional grid. The company has a full fledged automated “Metal Recovery Plant” to extract the entrapped metal from slag which is a major initiative in waste recovery and environmental protection. The company also has an automated Chrome Ore Beneficiation plant to enrich low grade Chromite ore with a throughput of 20 MT/Hr at its Mines.

Closed Circuit TVs has been installed at various strategic locations of the plant not only to monitor the processes but also to monitor the safety of man and machine.

About Us

Balasore Alloy's, formerly Ispat Alloys Limited is part of the renowned Ispat group of Companies, a major business house in the country, promoted by the Mittals. The groups companies are spread across several countries besides India.

Balasore Alloys was incorporated in the year 1984 at Balasore, Orissa and at present it has 5 furnaces with total capacity of 57 MVA to produce 95,000 MT bulk Ferro Alloys per annum. With multiple furnaces of different capacities, the company has the flexibility to produce different types of Ferro Alloys as per market dynamics. This adds to the competitive advantage of the organization as different product mix can be maintained at the same time even with low quantity. The company has captive mines in different locations like Chromite ore mines in Sukinda Valley at Jajpur Road (Orissa).The mines take care of the Chrome ore requirement of the company. BAL is one of the very few Ferro Alloys manufacturing companies in the country having captive mines and this is a major competitive advantage since availability of Chrome ore is very uncertain and the price is also exorbitant. Other raw materials are sourced from both Domestic and International Markets. The products of the company enjoy international reputation.

The company has ISO-9002, ISO-14001 Certification for its Plant and ISO-9002 for its Mines in Jajpur, Orissa. Various modern management initiatives like Six Sigma, TPM, Supply Chain Management and Performance Management Systems are in place to promote excellence in all areas and improve the overall efficiency of the company.
