Congratulation on the Machine-builder’s day from Georgy Skudar

Dear citizens of Kramatorsk!

Machine-builder’s day is significant to each of us, because in every family, in every house in the city there are people who have devoted themselves to this intellectual profession or people connected with the city’s enterprises, which have always been the basis of industrial engineering in Ukraine.

This holiday is significant, because Novokramatorsky Mashinostroitelny Zavod celebrated these days the 85th anniversary – commissioning of the largest individual engineering enterprise in Europe.

NKMZ works with dignity for the benefit of Ukraine, Donbass, Kramatorsk. NKMZ workers are focused on creating a developed economic structure, where there will always be a work for an honest, skillful, competent worker, capable of ensuring a high social standard of living.

Over the last decades, according to the general recognition of our partners from near and far abroad, NKMZ has become the leader in heavy engineering in the CIS. Modern engineering developments, state-of-the-art equipment and technologies, a high work culture have provided the plant with competitive advantages in many countries.

NKMZ workers try to make the city more beautiful and comfortable. We want Kramatorsk citizens to love our common home, be proud of it and not leave from here to faraway countries. That is why we are investing in the implementation of social programs, financing children’s institutions, schools, laying down new squares, building playgrounds and sports grounds.

Machine-builder’s Day, City Day and NKMZ’s Birthday is the joint holiday for all of us. I wish this day be enjoyable and memorable for you! I wish your families calmness, mutual understanding and happiness forever!

I wish a happy holiday to citizens of Kramatorsk!

The international research-and-practical conference was held at NKMZ

Based on Novokramatorsky Mashinostroitelny Zavod (Kramatorsk, Donetsk region), on June 19-20 the second international research-and-practical conference “Modern equipment complexes for the extraction, processing and transportation of mineral resources. Prospects for the technological processes development”. The first conference of the cycle those which dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the enterprise was held at the end of May and was related to metallurgy. Both events are organized by NKMZ together with the Donbass Machine-Building Academy.

Among the participants there are more than 70 managers and specialists representing 23 mining enterprises and trading companies from Ukraine, Belarus, Bulgaria, as well as scientists from five Ukrainian universities. All of them in one capacity or another are partners of NKMZ.

It produces a wide range of products for various industries.

The main experts of NKMZ introduced the participants of the conference to the manufactured mining machines, represented new products and advanced developments. This is the equipment and complexes for open-pit mining, processing and transportation of mineral resources, as well as equipment for underground mining. One of the new promising activities of NKMZ workers is the manufacturing and supply of equipment for complex processing of ash-and-slag dumps of thermal power plants.

The president of the Donbass Machine-Building Academy, Mr. Viktor Kovalev told about the innovative developments of the DSMA for heavy engineering.

On the second day of the conference, at its breakout sessions, about thirty reports were dedicated to the innovative development of equipment for the mining and processing industry and technological processes. They were rendered by NKMZ specialists and Ukrainian scientists.

Within the framework of the conference its participants also made the excursion to the workshops of NKMZ.

NKMZ realizes shipment of unique equipment to Ferrexpo Poltava Mining

Novokramatorsky mashinostroitelny zavod (Kramatorsk, Donetsk region) initiates the shipment of the second domestically-produced, unique (in regards to design and implementation) ring-type cooler for iron-ore rolled briquette. This high-technology machinery is designed for the largest Ukrainian ore-dressing and processing enterprise Ferrexpo Poltava Mining that holds the leading position for these products at the former Soviet Union market.

Until 2013 the pelletizing factory of Ferrexpo Poltava Mining applied the only effective technology and equipment available in Ukraine and CIS countries based on US system «grate – pipe furnace – ring-type cooler». This equipment has become obsolete and therefore NKMZ specialists offered ring-type cooler of their own design to the miners. Compared to equivalent foreign equipment this cooler consumes less gas and oxygen and has compact and environmentally-friendly design. Within six years of operation this highly-efficient equipment has paid its cost. The second cooler, produced for Ferrexpo Poltava Mining, is equipped with lubrication supply system that delivers lubricant into pallets bearing assemblies resulting in boost of operational efficiency.

Moreover, NKMZ regularly provides Ferrexpo Poltava Mining with spare parts and units to replace equivalents at foreign machines. It refers, in particular, to one of the main cooler’s component – pallets, forming circular area, to which the hot rolled briquettes are laid and which has slots for supply of cooling air. The pallets designed and produced by NKMZ significantly exceed the equivalents in regards to wear-resistance capacity.
