12 billion tenge will be directed to modernization of Aksu sugar plant

According to the director of the enterprise, Murat Tolegenov, this year, after the first stage of modernization, it is planned to process about 140 thousand tons of sweet root. One of the important innovations of this year will be the installation and launch of the technological line for pressing and packing the pulp.

During the second stage, next year, the CHP plant will be upgraded, where 4 new boilers and a turbine will be installed. Steam generators will also be replaced. In general, the plant is installing modern Russian, Ukrainian, Swedish, Italian, German equipment,” M.Tolegenov said.
