“Krasny Octyabr” plans to put into operation new furnaces

​The Volgograd metallurgical plant “Krasny Octyabr” (Red October) goes on the program of technical retooling and gets ready to launch new furnace equipment. 5 batch furnaces BOSIO (Slovenia) are ready for start-up and commissioning works at the rolled products finishing shop.

Thermal gas furnaces #4, 5, 7 and 8 will soon be added to batch low-temperature burning furnace #1 and 2 batch furnaces with forced cooling #2 and 3 which have been actively used since August 2015. When they are put into operation, another 8 old furnaces will be dismantled and new furnaces will be installed: there are all the necessary equipment and materials at the enterprise. Currently the assembly of the water conduct is held.

The start-up and commissioning works at the new equipment will start in late June. 2 burning furnaces PP-KZA-26/900 BOSIO are ready for start-up and commissioning works since April.
