Russia's leading miner & steel maker Mechel has launched eight drawing mills at the Beloretsk Iron and Steel Works for the production of wire worth over RUB 500 million. 12 new high-performance mills were installed in the workshops of the plant. The total investment amounted to RUB 1.5 billion. The new drawing equipment is equipped with scale breakers, belt grinding units, baths for washing and applying a pre-lubricating layer. This makes it possible to remove scale from the work piece mechanically and avoid chemical pickling of wire rod and to increase productivity due to higher drawing speeds. In addition, when working on new straight-through mills, twisting of the metal during processing is minimized, which improves the mechanical properties of the wires The new drawing machines will be used to produce spring wire, welding wire, wire for reinforcing ropes, as well as wire of ordinary quality. The total productivity of 12 mills will be more than 125,000 tonnes of products per year. In parallel with the installation of drawing equipment in the workshops, work was carried out on the construction of a new closed circulating water supply cycles, aspiration installations for dust collection were installed. BMK had launched an investment project to modernize steel wire and rope production in 2016. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023. It provides for a large-scale technical re-equipment of steel wire shops with the installation of new drawing machines and auxiliary equipment, as well as the reconstruction of water circulation cycles and the installation of a new wastewater treatment plant for steel wire and rope production. Beloretsk Metallurgical Plant is also the largest hardware company in Russia, the flagship of the metallurgical production in Bashkortostan. Its products are in demand in almost all sectors, from industry to construction. The company is actively implementing new investment projects and expanding sales markets.
