At the Beloretsk Metallurgical Plant (BMK JSC, part of the Mechel Group), young engineers and technicians were awarded for technical ideas to improve technology and modernize production.
At the 27th corporate scientific and technical conference, 11 young specialists made presentations. They offered their developments to improve the operation of existing equipment, improve production technology and improve the quality of hardware products.
The main prize of the conference - Grand Prix - was awarded to Vasily Blagov, a process engineer at the electrical equipment repair shop. His work on the modernization of rope equipment is aimed at increasing the volume and quality of manufactured ropes.
The first place was won by Olga Gabdrahimova, a chemical analysis laboratory assistant at the Central Plant Laboratory with promising work on the selection of a polymer for coating steel ropes. The second place was awarded to Svetlana Safonova, an engineer-technologist of steel-wire workshop No. 4. Its development is aimed at improving the manufacturing technology of galvanized wire rope for booking geocables, which improves the quality of products and reduces the cost of its production. The third place was taken by Pavel Khvatov, electrician for repair and maintenance of electrical equipment of the rolling mill, for a project to modernize the management of equipment for cutting ends of a wire rod (wire blank) before it was further rolled out. This eliminates defects in the length of the workpiece, equipment downtime and has an economic effect.
“The BMK Conference of Young Specialists is the main scientific and technical event of the year. It not only identifies relevant topics and tasks of production, but also suggests ways to solve them. Over the past year, we began to use ten of the eleven projects of our youth in the production process, ”said Veniamin Ulyanov, chief engineer of BMK JSC.
