The company “Energosteel” is focused on building long-term and strong partnerships. We not only provide high-quality service, prompt response to inquiries, effective solution of various issues, but also hold personal meetings with partners at their production sites. This format allows our technicians to evaluate the produced grinding balls during operation, to evaluate the efficiency of the grinding process (correctly selected particle size distribution, load rate of ball mills, current load schedule, etc.). Therefore, in September 2019, as part of annual personal meetings, the technical specialists of Energosteel visited our partner, one of the largest mining and processing companies in Azerbaijan. The history of relationships with this client is quite eventful. The ore that is mined at this enterprise has some specific features – it is significantly harder than ordinary quartzite and very abrasive. To correctly select the parameters of grinding bodies (we are talking about balls with a diameter of 40 mm) for this particular case, we conducted several tests, the results of which clearly determined the chemical composition of the steel of grinding bodies and the necessary hardness parameters, which showed maximum efficiency in grinding in second stage. In the first grinding stage, SAG mills loaded with 120 and […]

Any metallurgical production accompanied by industrial waste formation. The basic rule followed at any metallurgical enterprise is to reduce the industrial waste volume and to find a way to recycle it. Rolling production significantly less pollutes the air in comparison with other main metallurgical enterprises. The enterprises use various gas-cleaning and dust-collecting installations. The dedusting problem in rolling enterprises solved by the use of water dedusting provided by the nozzles with thin water spraying using, mechanical and pneumatic uniform irrigation the dust areas through the hole pipes and air separators. Industrial vacuum cleaners can be used to clean rolling mill waste (scale, dust). Much attention paid to protect the water basin from pollution by industrial effluents at metallurgical plants. The dozens of large circulating water supply cycles to metallurgical enterprises have been commissioned in recent years. Water polluted by scale and oil and the main and almost the only way for its preparation is removing mechanical impurities and oils. Cooling towers and process water pools use to cool equipment in the rolling department at the ENERGOSTEEL Plant, thus, no wastewater pollution occurs. The scale collects in tubs and takes out by specialized organizations for the scale disposal. The used linings, […]

Labor safety in the modern world, as never before, is relevant of great importance due to the intensive development of the manufacturing sector and the new activities emergence. It is difficult to imagine a successful enterprise in the market that would neglect the safety issues of employees. The modern metallurgical enterprise is equipped with a set of special technical means to ensure safe and healthy working conditions. The purpose of all technical means labor protection is to prevent exposure to dangerous and harmful production factors on humans. Employees’ safety depends on the equipment level of the production site and workplace with technical means of labor protection. The occurrence and manifestation of harmful and dangerous production factors depend on the specifics of technology the equipment used and labor processes. The production process of a metallurgical enterprise is characterized by the continuity or frequency of technological and labor operations and the operation of machinery and equipment. In such conditions, harmful and dangerous production factors arise constantly or periodically. Dangerous substances of ball-rolling production are oxygen and propane-butane, used during cutting the initial blanks, as well as for repair purposes. Forbidden to stand between the induction furnace and sorting table during the line […]

Following the trends of the market for increasing the requirements for the grinding media quality, a lot of sale offers for the steel grinding balls with a fifth hardness group (DSTU 8538-2015 and GOST 7524-2015) have appeared on the Ukrainian market. It should be noted, most manufacturers have not mastered production the grinding balls with the fifth hardness group (DSTU 8538-2015 and GOST 7524-2015). That’s why there are very often the grinding balls with the fourth hardness group sold to a client as the grinding balls with the fifth hardness group, whose characteristics (especially surface hardness) slightly exceed of DSTU or GOST. This is easily achieved by violating the technology of quenching and tempering the finished products. Such grinding balls have high surface hardness, but toward to the centre, the hardness decreases exponentially. Such grinding balls are most prone to split, during working in a ball mill. We recommend the capabilities analysis of the new supplier before accepting the grinding balls purchase from him. This is easy to do without resorting to any significant costs. First of all, it is necessary to study the producer official website. As a rule, all manufacturers who cherish their reputation on the market post […]

In this article, we will compare the grinding efficiency during using the steel grinding balls and the cast iron cylpebs (alloyed by chromium). We have been published the articles on our website where we have proved the use of grinding balls for grinding material is much more effective than the use of cast iron cylpebs, by mathematical calculations basis. Also, we have repeatedly mentioned all leading Ukrainian mining and processing plants, aerated concrete and cement plants have refused to use the cylpebs. To make this decision, the country’s leading enterprises only took into account the mathematical calculations, but some of them need to conduct the comparative tests. ENERGOSTEEL Company conducted an industrial test for replacement the cast iron cylpebs (alloyed by chromium) by the steel grinding balls at one of the Ukrainian aerated concrete plants at the beginning of 2019. Methodology for conducting industrial tests had developed together with the customer’s technical specialists. The test has been conducted by the substitution method. We have calculated and proposed the 25mm – 40mm grinding balls assembly for the first loading of a ball mill. Further mill loading has provided once a week. The quantity of loaded grinding media has calculated after instrumental […]

The Hardness Tester verification interval is 1 year. How to check its testimony accuracy and be sure at measurement accuracy? There are special hardness measures – rectangular steel plates with specific reference hardness. The hardness measures set consist of five elements: 25 HRC ± 5 HRC ; 45 HRC ± 5 HRC ; 65 HRC ± 5 HRC ; 83 HRА ± 3 HRА ; 90 HRВ ± 10 HRВ. The hardness tester verification procedure compiled depending on the device operation and the number of measurements made. The verification principle consists of three measurements at each of the reference hardness measures. The first two measurements are not taken into account (they are preliminary and serve to press the indenter to the hardness measure surface), and the third measurement considered a true indication of the device. The hardness tester operates very intensively in our production: up to 500 hardness measurements perform per shift in the testing laboratory. Verification of the hardness measurements readings must be performed before the start of each shift, in such conditions. Only in this way can we be sure at 100% quality of our products – the steel grinding balls!
