Nornickel has started scheduled equipment repairs at the Polar Division. The work is aimed at improving production reliability and labor safety.
At the Talnakh Concentrator (TOF), a semi-autogenous grinding mill is being repaired. 211 lining elements and the left gear of the gearbox will be replaced. Manipulators and special installations are used to speed up the process. The drum screen will also be replaced and six conveyors will be repaired.
At the Nadezhda Metallurgical Plant (NMP), 350 specialists will update the flash smelting furnaces. The lining, burners, U-blocks and other worn parts will be replaced. The gas ducts will be repaired to reduce emissions.
Repairs of key equipment are not just a technical necessity, but a strategic task that directly affects the stability of production, the safety of personnel and the implementation of the production program. We use modern technologies and global practices to minimize downtime and increase the reliability of our assets. Stopping in the summer period also allows us to increase environmental safety and reduce the burden on the city's atmosphere.
In September, the replacement of the ventilation unit at the Skalisty mine will begin. The new equipment will improve air exchange at deep horizons. In October, the hoisting machine at the Oktyabrsky mine will be replaced. This is the third such replacement under the modernization program.
All work is carried out taking into account environmental and production standards.
