Metalloinvest, a leading manufacturer and supplier of iron ore products and hot briquetted iron in the world market, one of the regional producers of high-quality steel, continues construction of a hot-rolled steel heat treatment section at the Oskol Electrometallurgical Plant (OEMK) in the rolled metal finishing shop (OMS) with a capacity of 70 thousand tons per year. The investment project is being implemented as part of a comprehensive sales development program, increasing customer focus and quality of high quality long products (SBQ).

At the moment, the specialists have begun assembling the main technological equipment, the first section of the first furnace has been installed. “Construction work at the facility is in full swing. The installation of metal structures of the building, roofing and wall sandwich panels continues, - says the project manager Georgy Shilov. - In the future, a railway track will be laid inside the building, along which metal will be delivered from the section rolling shop No. 2 to the heat treatment section. The builders have already prepared the foundations for the equipment of the furnaces, ahead - the installation of external and internal networks. It is expected that the first rolled bars will undergo annealing process at the end of this year - early next year.

The contract for the supply of equipment for the heat treatment section was concluded with Danieli Centro Combustion, part of the Danieli group of companies, which is a leading Italian manufacturer of equipment for the metallurgical industry. The total investment in the project will amount to about 3 billion rubles. In addition to two thermal furnaces, equipment for loading and unloading rods into and out of the furnace, cold cutting saws for sampling, packaging equipment, rack racks for storing bags with rolled metal and lifting mechanisms will be installed. The contract for the supply of two cranes was concluded with the Perm company "United Crane Technologies".

The commissioning of the new section will allow OEMK to increase its capacity for heat treatment of rolled products, to carry out various types of heat treatment in a wide temperature range of 400-980 ° C to obtain high-quality rolled products with a specific microstructure. Heat treatment is required in the production of various types of spring, ball bearing, structural and high strength steel. The creation of new capacities will allow Metalloinvest to increase its sales of SBQ and strengthen its position in the market for this premium steel product.

Metalloinvest intends to increase the volume of deliveries of high-quality rolled products, which are in high demand by consumers, in connection with which it is planned to increase OEMK's SBQ production capacity by 300 thousand tons per year by 2021 against the level of 2016.
