At the Kametstal plant of the Metinvest mining and metallurgical group (Kamyanskoe, Dnepropetrovsk region), within the framework of the 2025 investment program, the reconstruction of the continuous casting machine (CCM) No. 1 was completed in the converter shop.
According to the company, as a result of the successful implementation of the second stage of the investment project, the key equipment of the pulling and correcting machines has become updated device of the machine.
It is clarified that on each of the seven flows of MBLZ-1 new gearmotors of the traction-rectifier device are installed, which are also thermally protected. exposure to high temperatures, says the report.
Also on all the upper motors of the geared motors, encoders were installed and put into operation - devices that, thanks to control feedback, make it possible to control and stabilize the speed of movement of a continuous workpiece and thereby increase the accuracy of its cutting.
The implementation of the second stage of reconstruction of MBLZ No. 1 took place without additional machine stops to check the completion of tasks for the production of commercial products. BLZ, in particular high-kquality, for domestic and European customers. Technical preparations were made in advance for replacing equipment at each flow, and during the period of technological shutdown, updates were carried out in pit stop mode
. As a result of the second stage of reconstruction, metallurgists received a number of technical and economic advantages: extending the service life of geared motors of the cages several times; Also, thanks to the implemented technical solutions, the operation of the traction-correction device has been optimized to reduce the energy consumption of the upper and lower gear motors by 1.2 kWh for stable casting on the machine
Kametstal is part of the Metinvest group
