29 February to warm up after the overhaul included a modernized furnace №35 in shop No. 4, JSC "Zaporizhzhya plant of ferroalloys". How noted in the company, to the modernization of the Assembly of furnaces of this class the world had only two in America and Georgia.
the Purpose of repair with elements of the reconstruction was the improvement of Technical and economical parameters in the production of silicon ferroalloys and increase of output of FS-75. Also in the future we plan to reduce the cost of maintenance by extending service to individual elements of the furnace, and simplify Prow and increase of overhaul period.
"a Fundamentally new technology that now the tub itself rotates. In the smelting of ferrosilicon it is of great importance. To 35 the furnace had installed a wrought copper cheeks made in Germany, metal which has a fine-grained structure, which increases their durability. Upgraded flexible packages that supply electricity to the unit: they are water-cooled and removed from the umbrella of the furnace. The lifetime of packets increased significantly!", - said the head of the 4th workshop Roman Dorofeev.
in addition, furnace No. 35 applied modern control system, which by its characteristics, significantly ahead of such a control system 34 kiln plant.
Deputy technical Director for production Dmitry Malenko: "the Most progressive that we have in the 35th furnace is automatic control of all technological processes, starting from the filing of the charge and loading it in the kiln hopper and ending with the visualization on the monitor what is happening in the furnace during smelting. The unit is equipped with the necessary temperature sensors, water flow, level of charge, etc. Is a big help to the staff in the management of the oven".
First melting, as expected, the reconstructed furnace will give out on-mountain in early March.
