Metinvest, in scopes of the program of continuous improvement, reconstruction and modernization of the production facilities, is making capital repairs to the OK-324 indurating machine at the Central Iron Ore Enrichment Works (Krivoy Rog). The total investment volume for the project is UAH 8 million.
The ОК-324 indurating machine is a complex equipment system producing pellets with high Fe content. Its annual capacity exceeds 2 Mtonnes of pellets. The machine’s fault tolerance is calculated based on overhaul period of not less than 3 years.
Approx. 120 cu m of refractories will be replaced during the overhaul as well as the exhauster’s rotors, the rollers of the roller stacker, and side coolers. These steps will support a scheduled operational mode of the indurating machine during the overhaul period, ensuring uninterrupted production of high-quality pellets.
The overhaul is planned to be completed within 3 weeks.
