Metinvest's Central GOK modernized equipment worth a million euros

As part of the modernization of the pelletizing section at the Central GOK of Metinvest, a modern HAVER SCARABAEUS bowl pelletizer was installed. The company allocated 941 thousand euros for the purchase and installation of equipment.

“Thanks to the new equipment, we are optimizing processes and reaching a new level of work. The SCARABAEUS bowl is a sophisticated, technologically precise and sensitive mechanism that allows the production of 20% more high-quality pellets than previously used equipment. At the same time, its productivity is 25% higher ", - said Andrey Zhilkinsky, head of the pelletizing plant of the Central GOK.

At the heart of the SCARABAEUS bowl is an intelligent control system for the pelletizing process. Every six seconds, it collects a set of data on the technical parameters of the equipment and indicators of raw materials. This information is used to automatically optimize the workflow.

The equipment operates with a minimum level of vibration, which improves the uniformity of the composition of the raw product. After firing, the pellets receive the correct geometric shape, are more resistant to deformation, and have fewer cracks. These properties are essential for the production of products for DRI (direct reduction of iron) technology.
