	Formally commissioning of conveyor “Bandvagen 1800” in mine Suvodol
	The General Manager of AD ELEM PhD Vlatko Cingoski and the manager of REK "Bitola" Zoran Konjanovski today in mine Suvodol commissioned in function self – propelled conveyor "Bandvagen 1800" , plant heavy 670 tons with value of 5,4 million euros. - We expect this machine at the beginning of the following year to contribute in the functioning of mine Brod - Gneotino and to provide planned coal for plants "Bitola" and respectively to enable continual function of all three units, emphasized Cingoski on the ceremony in Suvodol. Cingoski announced modernization of the three units in REK "Bitola" in order to be used more economically. - Total production of the plants in Macedonia flows with the predicted dynamics and more than 45 % from the necessities respectively from the assumed responsibility towards the country are already realized. Inclusive with 15th of June more than 2,6 milliard kilowatt hours electricity are produced, PhD Cingovski emphasized. As a following priority he pointed at the passing of the new Energy law. Assembling of "Bandvagen" conveyor started on 1st of November last year under supervision of the equipment producer "Thyssen-Krupp". - The conveyor was assembled by the workers in REK "Bitola" and few companies subcontractors – "Fakom", "Kaskada" and "Kargo-inspekt" where 500.000 euros were saved, - emphasized the manager of REK "Bitola", Zoran Konjanovski.
