OREANDA-NEWS. June 15, 2011. Uralmashplant has negotiated a contract for delivery of equipment for MOK189 induration machine. The machine is intended for use at Crest Steel pelletizing plant with annual production rate of 1,2 million tons of pellets. Total weight of delivered equipment is around 1000 tons.

Induration machine with effective area of 189m2 and state-of-the-art arrangement of assembly units ensure production of hematite-concentrate pellets for blast-furnace production.

Oleg Danchenko, MK Uralmash general director, says: The contract actually enables Uralmashplant to enter Indian market of induration and sintering equipment anew. Besides, Indian party displays its interest in strategic partnership with Uralmashplant and we intend to sign long-term cooperation agreement.

Uralmashplant has a wide-ranging experience in production of induration machines used at pelletizing plants. Since 1964 about fifty production complexes with induration machines of 108m2, 306m2 and 520m2 effective area have been designed and put into commission. Along with these, component parts and accessory equipment intended for various methods have been manufactured and put into operation. Uralmashplant induration machines are used for production of pellets from iron-ore and nickel concentrates, chromitites and phosphorites, as well as for cement-clinker production and waste-free processing of bituminous shale and in other induration-related processes.

Note:

Starting from 1950-ies Uralmashplant has supplied every large-scale metallurgical plant in India with its equipment. The partnership has started from the deliveries of Uralmashplant equipment to Bhilai Metallurgical plant. A number of Uralmash machines have been operated at the plant. These are: "1150" blooming mill with annual production rate of 1 million tons of ingots, continuous billet-production mill (which production rate is 430 thousand tons of billets per year), rail-and-beam mill with annual production rate of 700 thousand tons of work-pieces (in the mid of 1990-ies Uralmashplant modernized the mill).

In 1970-ies Uralmashplant has been involved into construction of one of the largest metallurgical plants located in Bocaro. Thus, Uralmashplant has manufactured "2000" continuous four-housing mill and "200" one-housing mill of manufacturing capacity - 575 thousand tons of mill products per year.

In the mid 1980-ies Uralmashplant has delivered sintering machine of 312m2 work area to Visakhaptnam   Metallurgical plant.

In the late 1990-ies Rourcela Metallurgical plant has been equipped with Uralmashplant sintering machine which work area was 192m2.

Uralmash Machine-Building Corporation is one of the leaders in the Russian market of metallurgical, mining, oil- and gas-producing industrial equipment, as well as the equipment for construction-materials industry and power industry. The development strategy of Uralmash Machine-Building Corporation is to create a state-of-the-art machine-building corporation, which will be able to fully satisfy the customers' needs for equipment.
