Pyongyang, January 20 (KCNA) -- The Sunchon Cement Complex in the DPRK produced one thousand and hundreds of more tons of cement than planned in the new year and made progress in ensuring the optimization of products.

The Sunchon Limestone Mine built its own maintenance base and secured enough accessories and spare parts for normal operation of excavators, thus boosting the production.

Miners at the Jikdong Gypsum Mine and the Clay Slate Mine are making innovations in production by increasing the operation rate of mining equipment and vehicles and shortening the turnaround time of wagons.

The workers of the calcinating workshop have overfulfilled their daily clinker production plan by applying a rational method of kiln operation under the winter condition.

Cement, coal-grinding and other workshops have increased production by raising the dust-absorbing efficiency and solving technical problems arising in improving the performance of crushers through a socialist emulation among workteams and workshops. -0-
