LLC “Zaporizhzhya Casting and Mechanical Plant” (ZLMZ), created on the basis of the production workshops of the department of the chief mechanic of PJSC “Zaporizhstal”, which is part of the Metinvest group, in record time, together with the Kryvyi Rih Mechanical Repair Plant, mastered the production of equipment for mining and processing plants (GOKov).
According to the company’s information, now ZLMZ will produce butars for mills for ore processing plants (ROF). Already in June, it is planned to produce seven such products for the company’s mining enterprises.
Andrey Khrapach, ZLMZ’s chief machining specialist, explained that earlier this equipment was purchased from third-party organizations.
“Butara is a conical drum that is used at mining and processing plants for grinding and sorting material. One product that we are currently working on will go to the Ingulets mining and processing plant. Previously, other enterprises supplied butars. But we are striving to develop new products. The product was developed together with colleagues from the Krivoy Rog Mechanical Plant in a very short time. Kryvyi Rih specialists developed a drawing, and we made a metal product. Two such drums are already in operation by miners, we received positive feedback,” Khramach said, quoted by the press service.
According to him, it took ZLMZ specialists less than three months from the idea to the final result. Two such butars of Zaporozhye production have already been installed at the ROF InGOK. ZLMZ produced two more similar butars for this enterprise. The plans are to increase the volume of production of these products. Currently, ZLMZ has already received an order and plans to manufacture seven more such products within a month.
