September 10, 2013. A rotor furnace produced by the Finnish company Kumera arrived at Karabashmed in early September. The 170-ton equipment was delivered first to Nizhnekamsk by sea and then to Karabash by car with the help of a special trawl. The shipping was handled by VostokMontazhMekhanizatciya, Russian Copper Company’s PR Administration reports.
‘A lot of preparations have been made at Karabashmed: a special pathway was built for such a large consignment, and many special-purpose vehicles had to be employed for transporting it. The new rotor furnace will replace the current APM140; this is part of an investment project on modernization. The launch of the furnace is expected to result in better quality of metallurgical slag,’ says Karabashmed Technical Director Yuri Krasilnikov.
Karabashmed experts and representatives of the company in charge of the furnace installation went to Peru in August 2013 and got thoroughly acquainted with how similar equipment works at a metallurgical plant.
