ViZ-Steel continues with crane upgrades
VIZ-Steel, a leading global GOES producer (subsidiary of NLMK Group) has commenced installation of the new overhead crane for the finishing section lines of the cold rolling shop. The project worth RUB 36 million will enhance production stability and boost safety and reliability of hoisting equipment.
The new generation Russian-made crane will come to replace the older hoisting installation. The new crane's performance is well above that of the previous machine. The capacity of the crane was increased from 20 to 22 tons, enabling a 10% increase in cargo handling rate. The energy-saving technology used in the crane electronics will help to reduce energy consumption by 20%. The latest engineering design solutions used in the crane will add to the comfort of operators and provide a healthier working environment.
Crane commissioning is scheduled for Q2 2018.
In Q1, the company intends to commission a similar crane, having started its installation at the end of 2017. At the moment, the equipment has been installed in the rolling area for testing. These projects are part of the comprehensive program on replacement of outdated hoisting equipment. In the last ten years, VIZ-Steel replaced seven cranes or 12% of its crane facilities.
