The Production of polymetals will be new ways to extract copper from the bricks


Kirovgrad (Sverdlovsk oblast)





At the processing plant of the branch "Production of polymetals" JSC "Uralelectromed" (metallurgical complex of UMMC) has established a new jigging machine that will extract the metals from the refractory mass of the linings of furnaces (of vilamos). The new unit domestic production more powerful than the existing analogue on 20%.












every year in JSC "Uralelectromed" produces about 5,200 tons of spent lining bricks after the dismantling of refractory brickwork for repair of furnaces. Jigging machine allows you to extract useful components of the gravitational method: inside the unit there is a separation of fractions according to density and grain size. Heavy copper – deposited, and a light fraction – brick – rises.









– First machine test successfully carried out. The Assembly increased the monthly rate processing vilamar 10%, and also increased the quality of the gravity concentrate. In a month it is planned to process about 500 tons of raw materials, – said the head of the concentrator of the branch Oleg Poliakov.













works on installation of the jigs was carried out during the month. I needed to replace and reinforce the support structures. In the gravitational complex to replace worn-out dewatering bins to concentrate has set a new. In April 2020 it is planned to replace the conveyor of the machine, which carries out the shipment of the gravity concentrate.
