Metalloinvest implements a program on increase of commercial cast iron production at Ural Steel, within which upgrade of iron casting section in blast-furnace plant takes place. Executed measures allowed it to increase industrial capacities of the commercial iron casting blast-furnace plant by 40% to 1.9 million tons per year.
In particular, new equipment was bought to improve rates of ladles revolution and to increase productivity of casting machines section – punching unit for accretion removal in hot metal ladles. New equipment can treat neck of hot metal ladle for 15-20 minutes that is 9-16 times less than hydro hammer-manipulator spent for this earlier (3-4 hours).
