(incl. VAT). The funds were allocated, among other things, for the installation of a stationary automatic system for vibration diagnostics of fans and smoke exhausters of kilns at a cost of over 1.4 million rubles. Using this equipment allows to identify faults in a timely manner, reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns and production interruptions.

Also, the company continues to develop a new grinding workshop. Construction and installation work is currently underway, the cost of its implementation at the end of the year will amount to 0.5 billion rubles. The total cost of the project providing for the installation of a new closed-loop grinding mill with a standard size of 4 × 13.5 m with a QDK-29N separator by Christian Pfeiffer with a capacity of 100 tons per hour is 2.4 billion rubles. The launch of the equipment will make it possible to fully provide customers with separated cement and, in general, to solve the problem of seasonal increase in demand for it.

In addition, in 2021, the plant took measures aimed at improving the working in the Gorny workshop: a technical re-equipment of the aspiration system of the limestone primary crushing department was carried out.

Krasnoyarsk Cement is systematically renewing its fleet of special equipment. By the beginning of the 2021 construction season, the company purchased a dump truck with a carrying capacity of 15 tons as well as a forklift.

Scheduled equipment repairs were carried out with high quality and on time in all divisions of the plant. Timely implementation of these works allows to reduce the risk of accidents and downtime. In 2021, 543.8 million rubles were allocated for repairs and maintenance of equipment at Krasnoyarsk Cement. (incl. VAT).

One of the most significant projects of the current year is the commissioning of an automatic measuring system for emission control. This equipment continuously measures the mass concentration of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and dioxide, sulfur dioxide, determines the mass of suspended particles (dust), the volume fraction of water vapor and parameters of the gas flow. Measuring and sampling probes are installed inside a single chimney through which emissions from rotary kilns No. 3, 4, 5 are carried out, the analytical computing system together with the gas analyzer is located in a separate room at the base of the chimney.

An automatic measuring system for emission control was launched ahead of schedule at the plant as part of the Clean Air federal project, which is in turn part of “Ecology” national project. In total, the Siberian Cement holding allocated RUB 28.3 million for its installation.
