OREANDA-NEWS. December 21, 2010. Arc steel furnace DSP-25is put into operation after major repair at Uralmashplant. The project is implemented within the investment program of Uralmashplant production facility modernization for 2010-2012, which is realized under Gazprombank (JSC) support.

DSP-25is the most powerful furnace operating at Uralmashplant at present. It works in a unified technological cycle with an out-of-furnace steel processing plant (stove-ladle). More than a half of all smelt steel at the plant is made by DSP-25.

During major repairs the hydraulics was replaced completely, steel structure was partially replaced and furnace control was updated. Implementation of this project will provide for a considerable increase of productive time, electricity consumption reduction and employees' working conditions improvement.

Construction of arc steel furnace DSP-35 has also started at present. German company SMS Siemag is the supplier of equipment. According to the project the state-of-art gas-cleaning equipment will be constructed for the two furnaces (DSP-25and DSP-35). This equipment will significantly improve ecological situation inside the workshop and in Ordzhonikidzevskiy district of Yekaterinburg.

The Uralmash Machine-Building Corporation is one of the Russian market leaders in the field of metallurgical, mining, oil and gas, power and construction industrial equipment. The strategy of the company's development is aimed at creation of a world-class machine-building company, capable to completely fulfill all equipment requirements a customer may have.
