Satoru Miyasita

Title: Satoru Miyasita: Inventor in Iron Processing and Furnace Technology.

Introduction

Satoru Miyasita is an inventor associated with Himeji, Japan, and Nippon Steel Corporation. His patent work addresses shaft-furnace discharge systems and the processing of reduced iron. He is credited with 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Miyasita’s listed patents focus on handling furnace products and improving the processing of reduced iron.

- **Shaft Furnace with Bottom Discharge Device.** This invention describes a shaft furnace whose bottom is wider than the furnace wall’s lower opening. Furnace product flows through the opening and accumulates around the bottom’s circumference. A reciprocating raking arm moves across that area to remove the material.

- **Method for Processing Reduced Iron.** This method processes granular iron oxide in a vertical furnace using a reducing gas composed mainly of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. It recirculates and regenerates a substantial portion of the waste gas. The reduced iron is discharged while hot and isolated from the outside atmosphere, then receives component adjustment in sealed receptacles using regenerated gas. It is subsequently transferred to sealed cooling receptacles and cooled below 100°C before discharge.

Career Highlights

Miyasita’s patents reflect work on industrial ironmaking processes, including furnace design, controlled material discharge, gas regeneration, and the handling of hot reduced iron in sealed equipment. His listed affiliation is Nippon Steel Corporation.
