AMBER STARTED PRODUCTION IN THE FIELD PRIMORSKI
According to the press service of the Kaliningrad Amber Plant, production began on June 14 in Seaside amber deposit.
This year, it started later than usual. This is due to many factors. First of all, the fact that this year decided to take additional measures to ensure the safety of mined amber.
For this purpose, has been modernized production chain delivery of amber from the quarry to the processing plant: to enrich the site and replaced the tank separators, purchased a densitometer, which determines the density of the suspension (liquid containing amber, clay, and other foreign matter is going on slurry lines from the quarry to the site of enrichment) . Density information will be displayed at the security office, and if it somehow changes, it will notice.
June 2 signed the act of acceptance and transfer of work performed with the organization that performed the installation and the installation of fire safety systems and video surveillance in the first section. Now CCTV covers the entire perimeter of the concentrator. Furthermore, installation of control, which are fixed movement occurring in the controlled area.
This innovation should provide significantly better preservation of amber.
But preparations for mining season was not limited to the installation of new security systems. Significant funds have been spent to replace the pulp lines and water lines. During the second half of May - beginning of June Test runs were made equipment, during which were identified and repaired #39;weak#39; emergency areas.
Now also is preparing for the hydraulic stripping, which is planned to start in July. Hydraulic stripping has not been used at the plant for a dozen years, and although her introduction to sharply increase the cost of production, such a move is vital: if in the near future will not be held first podustupa overburden, extraction of amber would simply be impossible.
