To increase equipment efficiency, Metinvest Central GOK have completed the full replacement of the main mill's synchronous motor support frame at the Ore Beneficiation Plant.Central GOK's Ore Beneficiation Plant always takes responsibility for the implementation of the production programme and closely monitors the condition of its process equipment. After all, the high quality of the concentrate produced is a top priority for Central GOK's specialists. Therefore, to ensure the stability and efficiency of the production process, each area of the equipment operation is carefully monitored and adjusted by specialists. Recently, specialists have repaired the equipment of the main mill, which grinds iron ore at the initial stage of concentrate production and is a key component of the concentration production process.Because of frequent forced start-ups and shutdowns, the equipment's structure was damaged and the motor was misaligned when it was switched on. To avoid emergency shutdowns and

На сортовій МБЛЗ № 1 тривають роботи з освоєння розливання безперервнолитої заготовки підвищеної якості із застосуванням стопорних механізмів. Особливість технології стопорного розливання полягає у тому, що сталевий струмінь у проміжку між промковшем і кристалізатором захищений занурювальним стаканом. Це оберігає гарячий метал від вторинного окислення, яке негативно впливає на його макроструктуру, і надає заготовці підвищену якість, якої вимагають споживачі для деяких особливих замовлень. Нова технологія також дає можливість частково замінити сортамент МБЛЗ № 2 і таким чином знизити витрати на додаткові перекати на трубозаготівельному стані. Торік, на першому етапі, на Каметсталі було успішно освоєне виробництво безперервнолитої заготовки перетином 160х160 мм з підвищеними вимогами до хімічного складу та макроструктури зі сталей марок Ст3пс/сп, C72D2, C80D2, 70, Ш2, S355J2. Ці марки сталі були обрані як «пілотні» у проєкті через їхню особливу затребуваність з боку ключових споживачів

Його обладнання розташоване по всій території підприємства, адже живлять електроенергією навіть найвіддаленіші дільниці.Безпека робіт з електрообладнанням тут на постійному контролі, тому у цеху системно впроваджуються нові заходи, підходи і правила, які знижують ризики нештатних ситуацій.Черговим кроком до підвищення рівня безпеки у електроприміщеннях та на електроустановках цеху стало встановлення електронних замків, які зчитують інформацію з перепусток співробітників. – Суть роботи цих пристроїв – автономних контролерів – полягає в тому, що у базу вноситься перелік співробітників, які мають доступ до приміщень, бо мають таку необхідність з огляду на специфіку своєї роботи, – розповідає старший майстер цеху мереж та підстанцій Віталій МАРТИНЕНКО. – Тобто ми виключаємо можливість випадкового доступу до обладнання людини, яка не вміє з ним обходитися.ЦИФРАІнвестиції в закупівлю автономних контролерів складають 7

In addition to the challenges related to the economic downturn during the war, logistical problems and domestic demand, businesses are facing another significant issue – the lack of staff. This is particularly acute for companies where the majority of employees are men of working age. While small businesses are more flexible, big businesses must often find a balance between preserving their production and contributing to the national economy and defence effort. Tetiana Petruk, Metinvest Group’s Chief Sustainability Officer, spoke about how the business is addressing the acute staff shortage, what the draft deferral situation looks like, whether women can master traditionally male-dominated professions, how long it takes to train new specialists and the experience of reintegrating veterans into the workforce.– How many Metinvest Group employees have joined the Ukrainian armed forces to defend Ukraine? – For us, the war began in 2014.
