Aksu Ferroalloys Plant

One of the largest ferroalloy producers in the world, the Aksu Ferroalloy Plant produces over 1 million tons of high-quality products annually, the majority of which are exported to foreign markets. The plant’s uniqueness lies in its integration of large-scale production of chromite, silicon, and manganese alloys, essential for producing various grades of steel.

The Aksu Ferroalloy Plant comprises four smelting shops, housing twenty-six powerful metallurgical furnaces. Additionally, the plant features preparation shops, slag processing units, an agglomeration shop, and other specialized divisions.

  • The main products include high-carbon ferrochrome, ferrosilicochrome, ferrosilicmanganese, and ferrosilicon.
  • The plant employs over 6,300 people and occupies a vast area of nearly 700 hectares.
  • To continually enhance product quality, ensure occupational safety, improve industrial security, and protect the environment, the plant is committed to ongoing modernization, incorporating the latest industry advancements based on resource-saving and low-waste technologies. In recent years, the plant has successfully carried out hundreds of investment projects in production, environmental protection, and social initiatives.
  • One of the plant’s major undertakings is the extensive renovation of its most powerful division—Smelting Shop No. 6. The first completed renovation, Ferroalloy Furnace No. 64, incorporates cutting-edge technical solutions, making it a leader in the industry. This state-of-the-art furnace, with a power rating of 81 MVA, features a sealed design that significantly reduces energy losses and eliminates unwanted emissions. After fully integrating the technology and reaching its designed capacity, the furnace’s output will increase by 30%.
  • Previously, the plant completely replaced the gas cleaning equipment in Smelting Shops No. 1 and No. 6. Now, it is in the process of upgrading the system in Shop No. 4. Following the construction of gas cleaning units No. 41, 44, 45, and 46, work is underway to modernize Furnace No. 42. This comprehensive upgrade of the gas cleaning systems in Smelting Shop No. 4 will conclude upon the completion of the gas cleaning system for Furnace No. 43.

  • The plant is actively modernizing its production automation systems. Equipment is continuously improved during each major overhaul of both primary and auxiliary units. One of the latest achievements by the company’s IT specialists is the automation of eight casting machines used in processing chrome alloys in Smelting Shops No. 1 and No. 6.
  • The plant is also home to a thriving youth organization, “Jastar Ligasy”. This group not only enriches the lives of young employees, offering them a vibrant and fulfilling experience, but also plays a vital educational role, promoting mentorship and fostering an active relationship with the company’s talent pool.
