Kametstal is carrying out a major overhaul of the third stage of blast furnace No. 9 in the blast furnace workshop. This is stated in the company 's press release .

The work is being carried out by the store's maintenance team in cooperation with Metinvest Promservice. The unit must have its charging device replaced and the refrigeration system partially updated. In particular, 64 protection plates on the top of the blast furnace, a shoulder cooler and two main pressure lines with a diameter of 630 mm will be replaced. Tuyere coolers will be partially updated.

Foundry equipment is also being repaired. In particular, pig iron gate opening and closing machines are being replaced. As part of the planned work, communications are being restored to ensure the stable operation of control and measuring equipment, and thermal probes are being replaced to record the furnace gas flow. The work is expected to be completed in two weeks.

«The joint efforts of contractors and blast furnace experts aim to improve the reliability of key equipment and its trouble-free operation. Stabilizing the furnace thermal regime and minimizing unscheduled equipment downtime will provide blast furnace operators with better opportunities to meet their pig iron production targets and achieve effective team goals,” the plant said.

As previously reported by Compraço, in 2023, Kametstal shipped more than 1.996 million tons of steel to customers. Almost 5% of the total volume was sent to Ukrainian customers and more than 65% – to foreign customers.
