ARMATURY Group has delivered 13 pieces of metallurgical valves to Třinecké železárny

ARMATURY Group has delivered a complete set of special metallurgical valves to Třinecké železárny.

ARMATURY Group has delivered a complete set of special metallurgical valves to Třinecké železárny. “We delivered for this project altogether 13 pieces of metallurgical valves in dimensions DN 400 – DN 1300,” describes the technical director ARMATURY Group Ing. Petr Heider and continues: “All of the delivered valves are designed for construction of a new blast stove that is provided by Russian company Kalugin”.

The company Kalugin is a project organization designing and constructing the blast stoves of blast furnaces. In the last year the company won the contract for construction of blast stove at Třinecké železárny. This is the first construction of the blast stove by Kalugin in the European Union. ARMATURY Group has been cooperating with this company for several years and it´s also a long-term supplier of metallurgical valves to Třinecké železárny.

All of the valves were designed according to specific customer´s requirements. The designers and technologists from ARMATURY Group have spent hundreds of hours on this project. “We had only seven months to process the documentation and to produce the valves, which wasn´t really much considering the scope of work. The production of these valves itself is lengthy and demanding, yet we managed to deliver the valve successfully in the required time, which the customer appreciated, "concludes Petr Heider. Currently, ARMATURY Group produces other metallurgical valves for Kalugin, this time for Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant.
