Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Uzbekistan Temir Yollari state joint stock railway company completed reconstruction of Foundry Mechanical Engineering Plant under Uztemiryolmashtammir.
As part of the project “Modernization of Diesel-Powered Locomotive Rolling Stock”, the enterprise was transferred to the possession of Uzbekistan Railways. Major part of the foundry goods produced in Uzbekistan is generated in this very factory.
The company invested US$150 million to reconstruct Foundry Mechanical Engineering Plant. The project was financed due to a loan of US$48.8 million of the Fund for Reconstruction and Development of Uzbekistan and own resources of Uzbekistan Railways.
Within the project, Uzbekistan Temir Yollari inked agreement on supplying of equipment and rendering services for US$54.3 million with AS Skinest Rail (Estonia).
The plant is outfitted with the latest equipment and technologies from German companies like Kunkel Wagner, Otto Junker and Nederman. Noteworthy as it is, these next-generation technologies installed as part of project on the new foundry line of the factory are unique to Central Asia.
The significance of this project is added up by the production of several types of import substituting spare parts that is established at the enterprise itself. 167 types of foundry produce are localized to date at this plant with a capacity of 26.5 thousand tonnes of foundry goods a year. This allows for US$15 million to be saved every year.
The scheme facilitates foundry for localized production of more than 15 thousand tonnes of steel, in excess of 10 thousand tonnes of cast iron and 500 tonnes of nonferrous metals per annum, along with the manufacturing of 1,200 new train coaches, production of 950 large-capacity containers and the repair of 1,500 freight carriages.
The mill has launched production of essential components not merely for industrial sectors of the railway sphere, but also for leading machine-building manufacturers of the country. The production of new types of freight carriages has been launched in 2012.
The establishment of new types of production at the enterprise has included the cargo coaches undergoing cardinal overhaul and modernization, new such carriages manufactured, along with the foundry of cast iron, metal and nonferrous materials, production of spare parts for rolling stock and railroad bed as well as nonconventional metallic hardware.
The prime cost of the manufactured goods is projected to be reduced in the future by satisfying the demand in the foundry produce by other industrial sectors of the nation. The plant capacity is envisioned to be increased in the construction of freight coaches for up to 3,000 a year and the team expects to launch production of other types of train carriages.
