The Central Mining and Processing Works has finished the project to modernize the mining machinery lighting system at the Gleevatsky, Petrovsky and Artemovsky quarries.
Investments totaled 2.8 million UAH.
Excavators and drilling mills have been equipped with 250 energy-saving LED-lamps. The equipment has been specifically prepared for the mining operations: they are impact-resistant, vibration-resistant and can weather the temperature changes from minus 40 degrees C to plus 50 C.
“The decrease of energy consumption is one of the main directions of modernization at CGOK. Last year we carried out 58 energy-saving projects. The combined savings will reach some 12 million UAH per year”, the company CEO Dmitry Shevchik said. (Ukrainian metal)
