Karabashmed has started assembling three Kumera converters with the volume of 150 tons each with new gas-purifying equipment at its metallurgical shop.

The new machinery will improve ecological safety and increase output.

The first converter has already been brought to the site and is being assembled within the scheduled repairs. The second converter will also be assembled during the repairs.

Since 2004 the Russian Copper Company has invested some 18 billion rubles in Karabashmed modernization.

In 2018 it is planned to invest 2 billion rubles more. This will increase the company output to 150 thousand tons of copper per year, including 130 thousand tons from mineral raw materials. At present the company capacities are 130 thousand tons and 110 thousand tons respectively. (Ukrainian metal)
