Bunker operator at the Svyato-Varvarinskaya concentrating factory, Nina Borysova, is one of the old-timers of the enterprise; she has been working there since 2011. After graduating from college, she did an internship there and decided to stay.For a long time she was a weigher, but with the beginning of the war she mastered a new profession. Before her, a man worked at this site. But when he switched to a forklift because there were not enough people, Nina, among other women, replaced men in their jobs."I used to weigh cars, there was a lot of paperwork: reports, waybills, data transfer to the dispatcher. Now, the specifics have changed. My responsibilities include shipping enrichment waste. You need to be very careful not to overload the machine. Or, on the contrary, load it not to its full capacity,” Nina BORYSOVA shares the secrets of her new profession.On the woman's hand there are three bunkers where three mining dump trucks can be loaded at the same time.

Two years ago, having overcome the first shock of the news of the russian attack, living in close proximity to the enemy and frequent shelling, members of the veteran organisation of the Ingulets GOK decided to act. Many years of work at the plant taught them to work well, and not to sit with their hands folded. They got together, discussed the problem and joined the noble cause of volunteering, and they are still doing this.Every day, from morning until noon, tireless and caring people gather in the premises of the InGOK Veterans Council. Here, they weave, make, collect, discuss and prepare the aid for defenders. During a full-scale war, a new important area was added to the usual work of the organisation - volunteering. In addition, in order to keep in touch with each of the more than 4.5 thousand veterans of the enterprise, Council members learn about the urgent needs of the soldiers on the front line and try to help as much as possible.

Metinvest's Central Iron Ore Enrichment Works continues to improve the equipment maintenance and repair process. Specialists of the beneficiation plant have recently upgraded the spiral classifier.A scheduled repair of the spiral of the KSN 2.4×12.5 classifier was carried out as planned. All its components – blades and spokes – were restored. To avoid rapid wear of the blades, the specialists applied a protective outer lining – rubber liners – which will increase the service life of the equipment by 20%.The spiral classifier operates in tandem with the MShTs 3.6×5.0 grinding mill and plays an important role in the initial stage of concentrate production, ensuring the grinding of ore. The equipment is designed to separate ferrous ore in the water environment by size and density. The accuracy and efficiency of this process have a direct impact on the quality of the products and the overall productivity of the plant.
