ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, Ukrainian subsidiary of global steel giant ArcelorMittal, has announced that it has completed the capital repair of the conveyer C-19 with АС-19 inclined burden discharger at Ore Benefication Plant No. 1 in the mining department of the plant.
The company has invested UAH 15.3 million ($1.156 million) in this capital repair work which lasted almost eight months.
During the overhaul, all steel structures of the conveyer were torn down and new supporting steel structures were assembled and erected. In the course of the repair the supporting steel structures as well as roller supports were replaced, snub pulleys and electrical equipment including light and sound signaling systems, end switches and illumination were also replaced. As part of the repair project, the supporting structures of the ore beneficiation building underwent a major overhaul: reinforced-concrete parts supporting beams were restored. These elements carry the load from the conveyer and inclined burden discharger. New concrete lining is very important both to ensure seamless operations and improve working conditions for the conveyer operators.
