OREANDA-NEWS. February 28, 2012. Uralmashplant ships jaw crusher SHDP-12x15U for Uchalinsky ore-dressing and processing enterprise (Republic of Bashkortostan) whose mounting is planned for the end of January 2012.

Jaw crusher is an intermediate machine of the size range of jaw crushers produced by Uralmashplant.

This machine shall be delivered to the Uchalinsky ore-dressing and processing enterprise within the framework of the modernization program of this enterprise and shall replace the jaw crusher of "Volgotsemmash" production whose service life is exhausted already. The new machine shall be used for processing of copper ores. Together with other Uralmashplant equipment installed at the enterprise earlier (gyratory fine and intermediate crushers, mills) this crusher will make up an integrated production line.

For development of crusher SHDP-12x15U advanced design approaches were used. For the first time the crusher of this size is equipped with a system for remote control of discharge opening which allows to reduce time spent for maintenance in the course of service. Besides, the crusher is fitted with an information system to monitor the operating parameters of the machine, i.e. temperature of bearings, the level of charging the crusher with material, the state of lubrication systems and other important characteristics. For lubrication of bearings and other friction surfaces the crusher has centralized oil and grease systems. An auxiliary drive installed in the new machine helps overcome the great inertia of heavy parts at the time of putting the crusher into operation and thus make startup of the main drive easier.

Before shipping, the new machine was tested at Uralmashplant in the presence of the Customer representatives who positively evaluated crusher appearance, quality of welded joints and surface finish.

The joint-stock company "Uralmashplant" is one of the leaders on the Russian market of equipment for metallurgy, mining industry, oil and gas industry, building materials industry and power engineering industry. The strategy of the company's development aims at creation of a world-class machine-building company, capable to completely fulfill all equipment requirements a customer may have.

With support of the principal shareholder - Gazprombank - Uralmashplant has developed and is implementing an investment program providing for fundamental modernization of metallurgical, forging, welding, assembling and other production facilities.
