RSP develops lance carriage assembly, saves Rs. 1 crore
Rourkela: The initiative taken by the Engineering department of Rourkela
Steel Plant (RSP) to develop a Lance Carriage Assembly, an equipment used in
basic oxygen furnace converters for holding and managing the lance movement
safely during blowing operation, in the plant has saved the company a cash
outflow of nearly Rs. 85 lakhs. Procurement of this product from outside would
have cost the steel plant nearly Rs. 1 crore, an official release stated.
In order to
have lance carriage assembly ready always, it was decided to develop in-house
manufacturing of carriage assembly. Keeping this in view, the Engineering Shops
collective took up the challenging task of developing a lance carriage
assembly. The fabrication of the body was done at Structural and Fabrication
Shop. The Repair Shop Mechanical (RSM) collective ascertained the rectifications
required for ensuring correct fitment of various brought out items, in the
absence of assembly drawing. Thereafter, the necessary machining was carried
out and complete assembly of all the spares with the main body was executed.
The entire
job was coordinated by Planning and Coordination Services (PCS). SMS-II
(Mechanical) and Design Department were the other agencies closely associated
with the project.
