Kuzbassrazrezugol has commissioned the most powerful Russian excavator EKG-35 No. 1 at the Krasnobrodsky pit.
Uralmashzavod started designing the machine in 2012 according to Kuzbassrazrezugol specifications.
In 2017 the excavator was assembled and in March entered trial operation.
In June-July the machine loaded 900 thousand cubic meters of rock.
Next year Kuzbassrazrezugol intends to buy two more such excavators. They will be operating at the Krasnobrodsky and Kedrovsky pits. (Ukrainian metal)
