The sheet-rolling workshop is already undergoing commissioning work. The reconstruction was carried out without stopping the main production - the stock of blanks allowed other sections of the workshop to operate normally.

During the third stage of reconstruction, the company's specialists replaced the elements of the electric drives - the installation of the pressing device of the mill and the rollers of the specific tension measuring system. This made it possible to increase the dynamics of the equipment. The reconstruction provided a faster and more accurate reaction of the mechanism to the control signal, metal slipping on the rollers was eliminated.
The German-made mill has been operating since 1974, said Konstantin Popov, an electrician at LPC No. 3.
"In 2018, the main drives of the mill were reconstructed, and in 2019, the drives of the rewinding devices. These first two stages of modernization were aimed at restoring the characteristics of the mill's electric drives - rolling speed, metal tension on the winders during rolling and rewinding. The result was an increase in product quality and a reduction in its cost. The third stage of reconstruction will ensure the reliability of the equipment and uninterrupted production."The reconstruction of the 720 mill is part of the systematic work of the Ashinsky Metalworks aimed at improving the reliability of equipment, reducing energy consumption and improving the quality of rolled products.
