Schuler installs forging lines at Mongolia plant. The Darkhan Metallurgical Plant (DMP), established in 1990 and located around 200 kilometres North of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, has installed two automated Schuler forging lines featuring short-stroke die forging hammers KGH 5.0B for the manufacture of steel balls with diameters of 100 to 140 mm. As a system supplier, Schuler has provided the whole line including the dies and lubrication within seven months. The assembly began in November 2016, and configuration and testing of the machinery were completed on Dec. 14th, 2016. DMP has commissioned the lines. A new steel ball is produced by each line every eight seconds; the annual capacity of both lines is up to 25,000 tons per year. According to DMP, the project will open new opportunities to the development of the metallurgical industry in Mongolia.
