Kyshtym Electrolytic Copper Plant has assembled the main equipment of the LUHR gas filter. It is used to purify gases of the main copper-smelting machine of the company – the MAERZ furnace. The filter is expected to be commissioned this year. The cost of the project is 200 million rubles. (Ukrainian metal)
Russian Copper Company has finished modernization of the copper wire rod manufacture at the Kyshtym Electrolytic Copper Plant. Within the project a casting machine has been replaced, and a new Southwire breaking-down rolling mill has been assembled, as well as auxiliary equipment. The project allowed increasing the copper wire rod line capacity from 13 tons…
Kyshtym Electrolytic Copper Plant has started assembling new conveyer system in the copper electrolysis shop. The machinery will transport empty matrixes, matrixes with cathode leftovers and anodes. While assembling the new conveyers the manufacture has not been stopped. Commissioning is scheduled for July. Investments in the project total 380 million rubles. (Ukrainian metal)
Kyshtym Electrolytic Copper Plant has started assembling metal structures, which will later serve as the basis for the new Luhr Filter filtering machinery to purify gases of the Maerz furnace. The new machine will trap both solid and gaseous impurities. The gas-purification rate will reach 99.9%. The commissioning of the filter is scheduled for this…
Kyshtym Electrolytic Copper Plant has suspended manufacture of copper wire rod to modernize the line, resulting in the increase of manufacturing speed from 13 to 20 tons per hour. The total capacity of the line will grow from 100 to 140 thousand tons of copper wire per year. The cost of the project is 288…
Kyshtym Electrolytic Copper Plant is improving the quality of packaging. The new scheme of copper wire rod packaging prevents damage in transit. The novelty has to do with the increase of the coil compression, which makes it more compact. Such coils are less subject to vibration in transit, and thus, to damages. (Ukrainian metal)
Kyshtym Electrolytic Copper Plant will in April receive a modern system of two universal and two buffer conveyers to transport anodes to the copper electrolysis shop. The new machinery will unite all the current and additional rows of electrolysis baths into one chain. Thus, the project of the shop modernization will be complete. The project…
Kyshtym Electrolytic Copper Plant has finished the assembly of a new cooling stack. The equipment has been installed under the project to modernize and increase capacity of the company copper wire rod output. As the company plans to increase output, more water will be needed. Thus the cooling stack has more powerful pumps and fans.…
