Kametstal set up the production of large diameter balls with an additional line

Kametstal has mastered the production of large-diameter balls using the technological line No. 1 of the ball rolling mill. The company is increasing production of the most popular and efficient products. This is stated in the press release of the plant.

Almost a year ago, Kametstal’s rollers started producing balls of the largest diameter for the enterprise – 100 mm. These balls are essential for the stable operation of mining and processing plants and are used to grind ore in ball mills. In 2023, almost 11 thousand tons of these products were shipped to customers, which are manufactured at the ball rolling line No. 2 of the ball rolling shop.

To master the production of 100 mm balls on the first production line, the rollers modernized the equipment according to their own drawings. In particular, the stand was re-equipped, a newly designed receiving table was produced, and the loading device in front of the mill was modernized to increase its productivity.

«The development of new types of steel products with higher margins is one of the main indicators of the company’s operational efficiency. The 100 ball is just such a product, which is also in high demand among consumers,» the company said.

As GMK Center reported earlier, in 2023, Kametstal increased its tax revenues compared to the previous year, transferring more than UAH 2.154 billion in taxes and fees to the budgets of all levels. The budget of the city of Kamianske received almost UAH 605 million. More than UAH 1.549 billion was paid to the regional and state budgets.
