The Severstal-Metiz shaped sections shop has put into operation after a major overhaul its 2 thousand-tons press.
Investments totaled 94.9 million rubles.
The reconstruction has been carried out in 2 stages. In 2013 the electric part of the machine was modernized, decreasing energy consumption and dross creation. During the second stage in 2017 the hydraulic system of the press was reconstructed, as well as high-pressure pipes replaced.
“The machine has helped produce over 1 million tons of shaped sections for many industries. Many of these sections are unique for Russia, as only we manufacture them”, the company CEO Sergey Kovryakov said. (Ukrainian metal)
