Description
Summary:The process of flame-cutting scrap metal has not only been mechanized, but automated. Having selected the required cutting regime manually, the cutter then switches the entire system over to automatic operation and subsequent cutting is done automatically. All this considerably improves working conditions and enhances the prestige of the job of cutting scrap (in this case, the job of operating the flame-cutting machine). Mechanization of flame-cutting is economically beneficial to the combine: the cost of the mechanized flame-cutting of 1 ton of scrap metal at the MMK is more than 1.5 times lower than the cost of manual flame-cutting.
