The steel division of the plant is
still idle
Dnipro Metallurgical Plant (DMZ) continues to
produce coke and fulfill orders on rolling mills using the source raw material.
This was stated by the CEO of DCH Steel Vitaly Bash in
the
At
the same time, the steel division of the plant is still idle.
“Coke
chemists were able to establish the supply, production and sale of coal in
extremely difficult conditions and continue to work continuously to support the
enterprise. At the same time, it was not possible to include blast furnace and
oxygen converter production at the steel site due to the lack of the necessary
amount of raw materials,” he said.
After
the prompt implementation of a number of technological projects, rolling shops
were launched at the DMZ, which fulfilled orders for the rolled source billets.
The company hopes that fruitful cooperation will continue in 2023.
According
to Vitaly Bash, the miners of Sukha Balka overcome the obstacles created by the
Russian occupiers in a protracted battle. This is helped by the use of flexible
work shift schedules, which make it possible to perform production tasks and
ensure the planned economic performance of the enterprise.
“The
establishment of limited consumption of energy resources forced to stop
production at the Frunze mine in order to maintain capacity and not put the
lives of our employees at risk. Such restrictions are temporary. We hope that
in the spring, technological and production processes in all divisions of the
mine will be restored in a peaceful and free country,” summed up the CEO of DCH
Steel.
As GMK Center reported earlier, DMZ has confirmed the right to supply rolled steel to
the European market. The inspection was carried out by representatives of
the company “Technical and Management Services” (TMS), the official partner of
TÜV SÜD in Ukraine.
In December 2022, DMZ planned to produce
11,000 tons of products in rolling shop №2. The shop will be used instead of
the rolling shop №1, which, after the fulfillment of orders, is planned to be
mothballed until the spring of 2023.
