Slag handling complex
in "Azovstal" Iron and Steel works,
Mariupol, Ukraine
The works on the project for the
metallurgic combine “Azovstal” in Mariupol, Ukraine, have
begun in 2003. Based on the experience gained from two
projects (at that time Alchevsk metallurgic combine and
Nizhnedneprovsk pipe factory), AMCOM LLC proposed a
complex, in which large parts of material were sorted via a
drum screen in the early steps of the process. A similar
solution had already been implemented in the Ukraine in
1998 (Yenakievo, Donetsk region, Ukrainian-Finnish JSC
“Ecometall”). Furthermore, our specialists have perfected
and improved many of the material reloading nodes. Special
attention was paid to the possibility of fine tuning the
equipment for achieving the necessary product quality and
thus reaching the most effective economic results.
At the end of 2003 there was signed
the contract between AMCOM LLC and “Azovstal” Iron
and Steel Works (Mariupol, Ukraine), for delivery the slag
handling equipment recycling complex and mobile equipment.
The equipment set also included two hydraulic excavators KOMATSU PC450 and a wheeled
loader KOMATSU WA470, which have
proven themselves very well working in such conditions.
The first equipment deliveries begun already, in
February of 2004. In parallel with them, the site for the
slag recycling complex was being prepared with the
combine’s resources. In the end of May 2004 the equipment
had been delivered to the combine and the complex
construction has started.
Within a record short time frame the equipment
was installed by the AMCOM LLC specialists. On July
24th, 2004 the grand opening of the slag recycling complex
of the metallurgic combine “Azovstal” took place.
In the present time the complex is working and is returning
to the combine the much needed materials for the steel
mill, the black furnace shop and the sintering plant.
