Mikhailovsky Mining and Processing Plant (MGOK), part of the Russian producer of iron ore and hot briquetted iron Metalloinvest, has successfully completed the planned repairs of waste incineration plant No. 3. The repairs were carried out on time, ensuring the uninterrupted production of high-quality iron ore pellets used in both blast furnaces and direct restoration.
Comprehensive overhaul successfully completed
For 15 days, approximately 200 specialists from MGOK's internal repair departments and partner contractors performed extensive maintenance tasks. The workforce, organized into 10 teams, worked around the clock to minimize downtime.
The scope of maintenance included replacement of conveyor belts, smoke exhausters and expansion joints, major overhauls of pumping equipment and roller screens, and cleaning and inspection of oil lines supplying lubricants to the kiln carriages.
Key Part The maintenance included replacing the refractory lining inside the kiln, where operating temperatures reach nearly 1,300 degrees Celsius during pellet firing. This ensures thermal stability and consistent product quality.
Part of Metalloinvest's comprehensive maintenance program
The repairs at MGOK are part of Metalloinvest's ongoing comprehensive maintenance and modernization initiative at all production facilities. Similar large-scale capital renovations were recently completed in:
