The capacity of the new pre-machining site will allow processing 13,800 cylinder caps and 7,000 engine suspensions per year.
Petrozavodskmash is a unique enterprise, there are no others like it in Russia, capable of producing castings weighing over 100 tons of high-strength cast iron, said Evgeny Pakermanov, Vice President of TMH.
"Such production does not work for the region, but for the whole country. As part of the unified development strategy, Transmashholding is implementing a major project in Petrozavodsk using the resources of the Industrial Development Fund totaling 3.8 billion rubles. The fact that the government has decided to support the project shows the importance of the plant's work, trust in the management of the enterprise and the holding company. Our company is world-class, and it is equipped throughout the entire production cycle with state-of-the-art equipment for the production of high-quality castings used in the creation of diesel engines, power plants, and other products."The project for the development of the PZM Foundry provides for the transition from simple castings to more complex forms. In recent years, there has been a progressive development of the production of new product samples and an increase in the production of cast iron components of diesel engines: cylinder blocks, bushings and cylinder caps.
New technologies for manufacturing castings have been developed, and the machine park for machining products has been expanded. Previously, the plant specialized in products of relatively simple shapes, produced paper shafts and tubes, but by now it has mastered more than 50 nomenclature items of complex configurations.
