The foundry capacity of Navoi Machine-Building Plant is increasing

Navoi Machine-Building Plant is one of the largest industrial enterprises not only of Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Company, but also of Uzbekistan. Today, 15 000 items of localized and imported products, including various types of equipment, non-standard equipment, machine tools, spare parts, are produced at the plant.  

And the whole process is of great importance to the work performed in the foundry of the plant. In recent years, a large-scale work has been carried out in the Foundry unit to assess the volume of production of casting products for ball mills and mining equipment used in the units of company. In particular, on February, 2023, a new modern furnace for 25 tons was launched in this unit. It is worth noting that the necessary molding equipment for this furnace was manufactured directly at the plant. The new furnace will increase the production capacity of the Foundry by 30 percent or bring it up to 40 000 tons per year. It is important that 53 jobs were created with the launch of the furnace.

Work to increase the production capacity of the unit continues. There was modernized the existing melting furnace for 6 tons due to the digitalization of technological processes at the non-ferrous casting site. On May 11, the modernized furnace was put into operation. Now, with the help of this furnace, the production of small and medium-sized castings from steel and cast iron will be increased. At the same time, the implementation of this project made it possible to create 18 additional jobs.

The quality of metal melting will improve due to the fact that the launched furnace is equipped with equipment based on modern technologies. In the furnace, the technological process is automated, thanks to which it is possible to fully control the melting of metal.

The management of JSC NMMC, employees of the enterprise and labor veterans participated at the event dedicated to the launch of the furnace.
