Modern equipment guarantees the high quality of mining work and excellent results of production. Considering that and following new technical trends JSC “Russian Coal” is upgrading the equipment of “Stepnoy” coal mine to make miners’ work easier and more resultative.
Coal mine “Stepnoy”, which is situated in the Republic of Khakassia, started to operate in 1993. 7 coal seams are located on the left bank of the Yenisei river, near the estuary of the Abakan river. Production capacity of the mine is 5 million tons per year.
Among the technical equipment of the coal mine are dragline and hydraulic excavators as well as different kinds of trucks. The upgrade of equipment will increase efficiency of mining and improve product quality, which will influence on competitiveness of the company in a positive way.
In 2011 an enriching factory was put into operation of “Stepnoy” coal mine. In 2014 the factory processed 3.2 million tons of raw coal and produced 2.4 million tons of high-quality coal. Running its own factory allowed the company to reach a new level of development and significantly increase production volumes.
