This machine is responsible for one of the key operations: transportation of iron ore pellets in a finished product warehouse. The new equipment replaced its predecessor, which served its time.

Despite its impressive size – about 14 meters in height and weighing more than 300 tons – the stacker combines high performance, reliability and ease of operation. Its eight buckets of 320 liters each can overload up to 1,600 tons of pellets per hour, which is enough to ensure uninterrupted warehouse operation and stable product supplies to partners.
The pelletizing plant plays an important role in the production chain of GOK – the rhythm of shipment of our products and the uninterrupted operation of the hot briquetted iron production complex directly depend on its stable operation, said Ildar Iskakov, Managing Director of Lebedinsky GOK.
"The new rotary fence stacker is not just a replacement for machinery, but an investment in the sustainability of the entire process. Such projects help us maintain high product quality, meet deadlines, and reliably fulfill obligations to our partners."The rotary picker is capable of operating in both manual and semi-automatic modes. The car uses a modern control system: all key parameters are displayed on the display in the driver's cabin. This allows you to quickly respond to any changes in the process and maintain the accuracy of the work. Security is provided by automatic security systems and video surveillance cameras.
A centralized lubrication system and hand pumps are also installed – they are responsible for the smooth operation of the moving parts.
Lebedinsky GOK is the largest enterprise producing high–quality iron ore raw materials and the only producer of hot briquetted iron in Russia and the CIS, a low-carbon raw material that significantly reduces emissions from steel production in electric furnaces.
