As the year draws to a close, the achievements speak for themselves. In December 2025, the Ironmaking Plant of Hebei Xinda Steel Group Co., Ltd. adhered to the business policy of "lean operation and extreme efficiency creation". By targeting and implementing precise measures to break through production bottlenecks and activating internal potential through innovative approaches, it not only set a new historical record for the total annual pig iron output but also achieved the lowest fuel ratio in December under the same conditions, reaching the best level in history. The iron cost was reduced by 17.94 yuan per ton compared to the plan, marking the best cost reduction breakthrough of the year. With these tangible cost reduction results, it delivered a perfect answer sheet for the year's work.
Under the leadership of Zheng Yuping, the factory director, and with Li Wei, Li Yanping, Jin Jianhui and other key personnel at the core, all the staff and workers of the ironmaking plant have integrated the concept of "cost reduction is no small matter and efficiency improvement has no end" throughout the entire production process. They have united their efforts to overcome cost challenges and achieved this comprehensive victory in cost reduction and efficiency improvement through their down-to-earth and meticulous work ethic.
Sharpen one's fighting spirit
Be courageous in tackling challenges to reduce consumption and increase efficiency.
In order to achieve the production targets and cost reduction and efficiency improvement indicators, the Ironmaking Plant of Hebei Xinda Steel Group Co., Ltd. has held several special deployment meetings to clarify the responsibilities of each department. After the tasks were assigned, each operation area passed on the pressure layer by layer, refined the plans and measures, and comprehensively established the idea of working as a team to ensure the successful realization of all annual goals.
To comprehensively break through the planned fuel ratio task, the entire factory established a cost reduction breakthrough team led by Zheng Yuping, detailing the division of labor for the fuel ratio reduction project and setting phased targets for iron cost.
In terms of improving the conditions of the charge materials, the ironmaking plant has further advanced the research on the lump ore drying project. By drying and screening the lump ore, the aim is to achieve clean ore charging. During the trial production of the lump ore drying, the entire plant mobilized technical forces to carry out key process adaptability renovations on the equipment, ensuring stable drying effects and safe operation of the equipment. This measure not only precisely addressed the core issue of high moisture content and excessive powder in the lump ore charged directly, which led to low top temperature, but also achieved the dual benefits of drying and dehydrating as well as powder separation, thereby enhancing the quality of the raw materials charged into the furnace.
Craftsmanship builds dreams.
Win glory through hard work.
Since December last year, the iron-making plant has been committed to the goal of "stable production and increased efficiency". Under the premise of completing the arduous mid-repair task of blast furnaces, it has taken lean management as the handle to fully activate the production momentum in all aspects.
Departments such as the Production Technology Section and the Blast Furnace Workshop have established a mechanism of "daily dispatch, weekly review, and monthly summary", precisely allocating human, equipment, and material resources, optimizing production scheduling and process connections, achieving efficient collaboration among workshops and all links. Data is reported daily to identify gaps and pursue tasks. The technical team focuses on process innovation, breaking production bottlenecks through measures such as optimizing production processes, upgrading equipment parameters, and promoting energy-saving technological reforms, significantly boosting production efficiency and creating a favorable situation of stable production operation in a single month.
On the production front line, cadres and workers take turns on duty around the clock, closely monitoring the operation parameters of the equipment and promptly addressing all kinds of potential hazards. Technical experts lead the establishment of a breakthrough team, delving into the site to solve technical problems. The logistics support department accurately meets the demands, comprehensively strengthening the production service defense line. With their sweat and sense of responsibility, they have interpreted the "spirit of unity, progress and tackling difficulties" of ironmaking.
Break the routine.
Taking on responsibilities with courage leads to achievements.
To ensure a smooth rhythm in the subsequent production process, the ironmaking plant, with a focus on product quality control, has instructed the Production Technology Department and the workshops to improve the assessment mechanism for molten iron furnace temperature and revise the "Management Details for Internal Control Rate of Molten Iron from Blast Furnaces". This is aimed at strengthening the operational supervision at the foreman level, using economic levers to balance benefits and stimulate the enthusiasm of production participants.
On the other hand, the factory's leadership team insists on simultaneously strengthening quality control and cost reduction to demonstrate the production's solid capabilities. Each production unit strictly implements the full-process quality traceability system, intensifies the inspection of raw and auxiliary materials, process control, and finished product testing. The logistics departments break down the targets in detail, aiming at eliminating potential faults at the constraint points, thereby reducing fluctuations in the temperature of molten iron in the furnace, lowering the silicon deviation in molten iron, and minimizing issues such as uneven heat flow distribution in the furnace, furnace temperature fluctuations causing slag skin shedding, and sudden changes in thermal load.
In addition, to ensure smooth night shift production handover, the ironmaking plant has focused on adjusting the night shift duty force, increasing the frequency of second-level supervisor duty, providing reliable guarantee for production organization.
Conclusion
By activating development momentum through innovation and continuing to write the glorious chapter of steelmaking with development power, the comprehensive breakthrough of production indicators this time not only demonstrates the strong production resilience and innovative vitality of the Ironmaking Plant, but also sets a benchmark for the company to deepen cost reduction and efficiency improvement throughout the entire chain and enhance core competitiveness. Facing new missions, Hebei Xinda Steel Group Co., Ltd. Ironmaking Plant will take this breakthrough as an opportunity, summarize successful experiences, deepen technological innovation and management upgrades, continuously stimulate new quality productivity, and embrace new challenges with a more vigorous attitude to strive for a new chapter of the company's green and high-quality development!
