Scheduled preventative repairs were performed at Central GOK during a 26-hour shutdown of the crushing plant's 1st stage to avoid unplanned downtime.Conveyor belts at the crushing plant are the main blood vessels that are used for transportation of the iron ore from one crushing stage to the next one. Any breakdown can disrupt the production schedule and impact the efficiency of the entire enterprise. The upgrade of the conveyor belt of the plant's 1st and 2nd stages is conducted every 3 years at the Central GOK's crushing plant. This time, 1st stage was shut down for a little more than a day for repairs. The primary goal of the planned shutdown is the replacement of the transportation belt on the K-1 conveyor. While this task is familiar to the specialists, it requires precise calculations and careful planning."We started our preparation for the belt replacement in advance. At first, we had to merge three parts of the belt together. As the K-1 conveyor is one of the two longest at th

Nazar Psariuk from Zaporizhstal is sure that everyone can retrain and get a new profession.At present, employers, being under the conditions of staff shortage, are turning more to the retraining of their employees to train knowledgeable specialists at their own corporate training centres The expertise of experienced industrial mentors, combined with practical experience in real production, gives the desired result.Every year, Zaporizhstal's Staff Development Department trains hundreds of employees for a second profession and upgrades their skills. Nazar Psariuk, a furnace helper, also took the opportunity to acquire a new profession and professional education.After receiving non-industrial vocational education about 20 years ago, Nazar started searching for a job. At that time, his brother was already working at Zaporizhstal, in the Steelmaking Shop, and he set an example for Nazar."I knew well the specifics of work in the Steelmaking Shop, and I wanted to become a steelmaker too.

During a scheduled three-day shutdown, Northern GOK employees completed planned maintenance at the ore beneficiation plants (RZF-1, 2) and slurry pumping station No.1 (SPS-1). All upgraded equipment was successfully recommissioned on schedule.The maintenance work began with shutting down the slurry pumping station of the water supply facility and sludge processing department. The maintenance scope included replacement, repairs, inspection, and technical servicing of pumping equipment, valves, and water supply pipelines."Our primary objective was to optimize the technical water supply system. We focused particularly on the equipment critical to this process. The replacement of this equipment is only possible if the processing complex is stopped, specifically the RZF-1, 2, and SPS-1 divisions. Our technical team conducted preliminary equipment diagnostics to identify components requiring replacement. To ensure efficient operation of the equipment, we have planned the necessary repairs t

Up-to-dateness, small size, optimal capacity utilisation. Kamet-Steel's Oxygen and Compressor Shop is in the process of upgrading its compressed air system, which will help power engineers improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption of the enterprise. The equipment modernisation project is being implemented at the site of compressed air production, which is required both to ensure the operation of the plant's iron and steel making divisions and to further produce oxygen for the plant's needs. The energy-saving measures primarily involve replacing the old K-1500 compressor with new SM6100 compressor equipment from Hanwha Power Systems, a South Korean company. Four modern compressors with the appropriate total capacity will ensure the optimization of the compressed air system, more flexibility in regulating the use of compressor capacities in optimal modes, and more rapid response to the real needs of the enterprise's subdivisions, i.e. operating in a more cost-effective mode.

На Каметсталі за підсумками вересня для шахтарів Покровська відвантажили понад 4 000 тонн сортового фасонного профілю СВП-27. Таким чином, команда прокатного цеху вперше вийшла на стабільні промислові обсяги виробництва продукції, освоєної наприкінці минулого року. Нагадаємо, виробництво сортового фасонного профілю СВП-27 вперше в Україні було освоєне на Каметсталі в умовах трубозаготівельного стана, в межах програми Метінвесту з відновлення частково втраченого сортаменту, який раніше виробляли на металургійних комбінатах Маріуполя. Ця так звана шахтна стійка призначена для кріплення гірничих виробок у шахтах і є необхідним елементом у технології вугледобування. Новий прокат пройшов атестаційні випробування, які підтвердили його відповідність вимогам державного стандарту. Від моменту освоєння, під час якого СВП-27 катали вагонними партіями 200-500 тонн на місяць, прокатники виконали чималу роботу, за результатами якої влітку-2024 виробництво збільшилося до 2 000 тонн на місяць, а у ве

Ознайомлення з виробництвом на практиці, комунікація з досвідченими фахівцями, розширення професійних знань та яскраві враження від побаченого – візит на підприємство майбутніх коксохіміків, студентів Придніпровського металургійного фахового коледжу, став для них вирішальним кроком у професію.Вже багато років комбінат співпрацює з профільними навчальними закладами міста, надаючи можливість студентам пройти виробничу практику на підприємстві та влаштуватися на роботу. А ще запрошує їх на ознайомчі екскурсії цехами Каметсталі. Цього разу комбінат відвідали майбутні коксохіміки.Молоді гості мали унікальну можливість побачити на власні очі увесь технологічний процес від підготовки вугілля до видачі готового коксу та проведення хімічних аналізів у лабораторії. Студенти впевнилися, що коксохімічне виробництво – це не тільки важкі фізичні умови праці, а й складний інтелектуальний процес, що вимагає високої кваліфікації і глибоких знань.Під час екскурсії студенти мали можливість відвідати вуг

In today’s world, it’s crucial to know how to provide pre-medical assistance, understand the correct sequence of actions, and be able to stabilise a victim’s condition until emergency services arrive. To address this, Zaporizhstal regularly organises training sessions with experts.Currently, employees who are trained in first aid within their departments are undergoing refresher training. These sessions, held in one of Zaporizhstal’s bomb shelters, take place in collaboration with the Ukrainian Red Cross Society.FACTS AND FIGURESThe training programme will run throughout October, involving 240 steel makers.Participants are going to refresh theoretical knowledge and practise first aid in hands-on training sessions using mannequins and models. Various scenarios will be simulated, from loss of consciousness to multiple trauma situations.“Skills tend to fade over time unless they are practised on a regular basis. In an emergency, people may panic and forget what to do or the order of acti
