Dneprovsky Iron and Steel Works reduced costs for the production of steel wire rod

Plant "Kametstal" of the Dutch mining and metallurgical holding Metinvest B.V. (Metinvest), created at the facilities of the Dnieper Metallurgical Plant (DMK, Kamenskoye, Dnepropetrovsk region), continues to improve production processes and increase their efficiency. This was reported in the press service of Metinvest.

According to the company's information, in the conditions of martial law in the country, in order to reduce the cost of the plant's products and increase its competitiveness in the EU markets, innovators of the rolling shop reduce the cost factor of metal in the production of wire rod.

To do this, a proposal was introduced at the section rolling mill to change the algorithm of work, which made it possible to reduce the consumption coefficient of the metal in the production of wire rod 5.5 mm and 6.5 mm.

Following the implementation of the rationalization proposal, the cost factor was reduced by 0.5 kg/ton in the production of wire rod 5.5 mm and by 0.7 kg/ton in the production of wire rod 6.5 mm. The actual economic effect amounted to UAH 2.256 million.
