The large-scale project to be implemented in Orsha “will make it possible to obtain high-quality blanks of massive rolled and shaped rings from steels of various grades with an outer diameter of up to 3 meters and a weight of up to 3 tonnes with high quality and minimal tolerance for further processing,” the company said.
Until now, experts explained, these blanks are not produced in the republic, although they are also in demand in the Russian market of aircraft engine building, nuclear power, shipbuilding , rocketry and mechanical engineering.
As part of the project, production and administrative buildings have already been erected, engineering networks are being laid. It is expected that already this year the unique high-tech equipment of the automated line for the production of ring blanks will begin to arrive in Orsha.
“The creation of the circular rolling complex will be a further step for BELAZ on the way to technological independence of products from imports.
