The technique of operating determination of production cost (agglomerate on the base of iron-bearing concentrates of Mikhaylovskiy and Lebedinskiy Mining and Concentration Plants) in conditions of real time of its production has been developed, approved and proposed by authors. The scheme of technique realization, analysis of general technological parameters of agglomeration and its influence on unit costs, specified criterion as “speed complex” for practical regulation of agglomeration process with a view to minimization of unit costs have been presented.
