Made in Russia: UMMC presented a new mine machine, fire-resistant cables and digital technologies in education at Innoprom
“Made in Russia. Made in UMMC "is the main theme of the stand of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company at INNOPROM-2019. This year the holding is the official partner of the international industrial exhibition.
The two-storey stand of UMMC is located on an area of 306 sq. meters. At the head of the exposition is a novelty - a PDM10-UMMC Ferrit LHD for underground mining, which has no analogues in Russia. At INNOPROM-2018, the company showed a model of this machine. This year, at the international industrial exhibition, a real full-size mine machine with a lifting capacity of 10 tons was presented to the guests.
Today, the first PDM10-UMMC produced at the Shadrinsky Automotive Aggregate Plant, as well as the second by Ferrit in 2018, are already successfully operating at the Novo-Uchalinsky field of the Uchalinsky GOK (an enterprise of the UMMC raw materials complex) in the Republic of Bashkortostan. In December 2018, a declaration was received on the model's compliance with the safety requirements of machinery and equipment.
- SHAAZ has mastered the production of LHDs with a carrying capacity of 10 tons. In the future, we will produce 14 and 17 ton versions. LHDs are now supplied to the company's enterprises. When its own needs are closed, it is planned to enter the Russian market, which is very promising, since there are no similar industries in the country yet, - said UMMC General Director Andrei Kozitsyn.
The distinctive features of PDM10-UMMC Ferrit are high maneuverability, compactness and low height, which is important in conditions of limited space in mines. When creating the car, the developers relied on two main criteria - reliability and simplicity. The equipment operates in extreme conditions - at levels more than five hundred meters underground, and in order to exclude an emergency, PDM10 was equipped with a proven transmission, hydraulics, vehicle status indicators and a fire extinguishing system.
During the exhibition, visitors will be able to visit the cabin of the LHD and get acquainted with the working dashboard.
Other production areas of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company are traditionally represented at the stand. "Cable Alliance Holding" (unites the cable assets of UMMC) demonstrates a virtual tour to the "Elektrokabel" plant. Guests of the booth wearing VR glasses can take a trip through the testing laboratory, where they check the composition and quality of materials, semi-finished products and finished cables.
After getting acquainted with virtual production, exhibition visitors have the opportunity to evaluate real product samples. Among them is a fire-resistant cable of the Kolchuga trademark. The sample of the cable is placed in a holographic display case with simulated fire. Viewers have access to information about the characteristics of the sample and test parameters. The new design of power and control cables TM "Kolchuga" is produced at the plant "Elektrokabel". In its manufacture, a modern material is used - organosilicon rubber. It is she who allows the cable to support the operation of rescue and other systems in the event of a fire for four hours. Organosilicon rubber is produced at the Sibkabel plant, which is also part of the KhKA. Therefore, we are talking about 100% import substitution. Another holographic showcase demonstrates checking the resistance of a conductor as one of the most important parameters of a quality cable.
3D tours are also organized for modern non-ferrous metal production. In virtual reality, guests of the stand can walk around the Kirovsky OTsM plant - for two minutes observe the casting process of five-ton ingots, look into a giant heating furnace and see the finishing stages of cutting finished rolled copper and alloys.
