PJSC Dniprovsky Metallurgical Plant (DMZ), part of the DCH Steel group owned by businessman Alexander Yaroslavsky, is entering the machine-building market: in July, the company began fulfilling orders for the manufacture, repair, and processing of equipment parts.
According to information published in the DCH Steel corporate newspaper on Thursday, since December 2024, the specialized metallurgical equipment repair shop (SCRMU) has been manufacturing non-standard metal structures for third-party organizations. The shop has now expanded its scope of activities and also accepts orders for the repair and manufacture of equipment parts.
At the same time, specialists from the sales department, the supply department, and SMRE engineers monitor tenders announced by companies; quickly assess the feasibility of an order and its cost; and prepare proposals and contracts.
To date, DMZ has already fulfilled several orders from third-party organizations. In particular, in August, a 1925 mm diameter electric motor rotor was machined, for which special equipment was manufactured. Last week, the customer accepted the work and has already delivered another rotor to the workshop for repair.
Currently, the SCPRM also manufactures bevel gears, labyrinth rings, washers, axles for trolleys, and other parts. On August 14, they will begin manufacturing epicycles.
The plant traditionally fulfills orders from the Sukha Balka mine.
Another article reports that DMZ railway workers laid 240 meters of new track and installed a switch at the Novoprokatanaya station. The work was carried out in July and August. The new track connects two railway branches, allowing the plant’s locomotives to run directly from the metallurgical site to the depot and rolling mill No. 2. Previously, the railway depot could only be reached through the metalworks plant, and DMZ paid rent for using its neighbors’ tracks.
In addition, it is reported that two power transformers were disconnected at DMZ to reduce electricity consumption. In July, power supply specialists disconnected transformers at the complete transformer substation No. 70 of the molding and casting shop and at the KTP No. 7 of the oxygen shop. To ensure electricity supply to consumers, a 0.4 km cable was laid to the existing transformers at substations No. 24 and No. 35.
The disconnected transformers supplied electricity to a small number of consumers, so their decommissioning will not significantly increase the load on the existing transformers, the article notes.
Thanks to the shutdown of energy-intensive equipment, the energy consumption of transformers during idle operation has been reduced by 6-7 kW per hour.
DMZ specializes in the production of steel, cast iron, rolled products, and products made from them, such as channels and angles, special profiles for machine building and mining.
On March 1, 2018, the DCH Group signed an agreement to purchase the Dniprovsky Metallurgical Plant.
