Its a fiery hell more than a 100 meters long which swallows iron ore and coke at the top and spits out liquid pig iron the bottom. Of the chimney. The goal is to melt pig iron and the Blast Furnace for is a good. One but so we enter money. A pig iron is cleaned. Pressed and shaped right next door the end result to steal the material thats used everywhere construction sites in the gas and Automobile Industries its an indispensable symbol of russias heavy industry.
