WILL PRODUCE CAST-IRON PUMPS
At the beginning of 1950, engineering-technical workers at the Moscow
Kompressor Plant initiated a competition for the uae of new techniques and
improved technology in production, and for the investigation of supplementary
reserves as a means of increasing output. The plan, discussed at a meeting
of the collegium ~f the Ministxy of Machine and Instrument Building USSR,
was also suggested to the directors of other enterprises.
This competition during the last 7 months has produced excellent re-
sults. Members of the scientific engineering-technical association of ma-
chine builders are participating actively in the work.
The plant has developed a three-stage coke gas compressor with a capac-
ity of 6,000 cubic meters per hour, and a Freon refrigerator unit. Prepara-
tions are under Yray for the production of new compressors and a steam-elector
refrigeration unit for air-conditioning tall buildings. As a result of sug-
gestions from members of the association, the capacity of the casting shop has
Improvements in the casting shop a.nclude the organization of a special
section for casting small-series parts, The work of this section is completely
mechanized. It is equipped with a closed conveyer system which delivers the
molding mixture continuously to the working area. New machines are also being
put 1.nto operation.
Recently the Kompreseor Plant, together with the Central Scientific Re-
search Laboratory, Glavformamaterial (Main Administration for Molding Materi-
als} has been ding experimental research ou the use of a special fast-drying
binder, which would insure the production of molds for heavy castings without
the use of drying chambers.

The first castings produced by the new method have gone to the machine
shop for processing. Since the drying process now takes 20 minutes instead
of IF8O, the use of the new binder relieves the shop?s drying furnaces of 25-
30 percent of their load, cuts down the production cycle, and increases pro-
ductivity of the sections. Complete mastery of the new method will sharply
increase the capacity of the casting shop. The Kompressor Plant is the first
in the country to use the fast-drying binder. High-speed methods of cutting
metal are being widely used, even for such complicated operations as cutting
the side walls of compressor cases. There are now 138 high-speed cutters at
the plant.
The machining of many darts in the compressor shop is set up by the
closed???circuit method of operation. Engineering-technical workers of the
shop, together with the Scientific Research Institute of Chemical-MacL?ine
Building, have worked out a plan for three continuous lines for machining
cases, pistons, and connecting rods. These lines will go into operation
during the first few days of October.
The enterprise has collaborated with other plants in developing of power-
ful coke gas compressors to meet the requirements of the city economy of the
capital. The technology for casting the complicated cylinders for this com-
pressor was worked out by three engineers. The plant has already produced
the first three machines.
To increase output and improve designs of machines and appliances, en-
gineering-technical workers are studying new, as yet unutilized reserves.
F.. example, a machine was recently produced for pouring bxonze bushings
into steel casings. It has increased. output of parts several times.
The Party organization is actively assisting the plant to carry out
its obligations. When rejects in the casting shop increased a short time
ago, the Party organization held a meeting urging the administration to
get to the bottom of the trouble. In a short time the situation b.ad greatly
improved .
Engineering~??technical workers have devoted mucY, attention to the mechani-
~ation of labor in many shops. A highly productive device was developed for
welding cylindrical shells, It has increased labor productivity and improved
the quality of the it.:ms~
The cutting and facing of pipes for making refrigerating apparatus have
for a long time been a difficult job at the plant. A machine fool has now
been designed which not only increases labor productivity in this section,
bu+, also frees a number of screw-cutting lathes. -m S. Ivanov, secretary,

MAIO;S EI{TRA~DURABLE CAST IRON FOR PUMPS =- Vechernyaya Moskva, 10 Aug 50
A special complex brigade has been formed in the casting shop of the
Moscow Pump Plant imeni Kalinin to develop an extra durable cast iron. It
has done a great deal of preparatory work, using data from the scientific
technical session on extra-durable forms of cast iron, held is June by the
All-Union Scientific Engineering Association of Casters.
The smelting of extra-durable cast iron in the shop has produced good
results. It has revealed the possibility of lengthening the period of ser-
vice of pumps and replacing steel casting with iron. The brigade is now
continuing to improve the method oP production. It has redesigned and built
a cupola with Liiree rows o? tuyeres, which has made it possible to cut fuel
consumption 15 percent, increase the temperature of the cast iron, and raise
labor productivity.

Vechernyaya bioekva, 31 Jul 50
In recent times the Moscow Pump Plaat imeni Kalinin has greatly improved
its production, The machine assembly shops for small, medium, and artesian
pumps have been remodeled. The reorganlzation has made it possible to cut
down the production cycle and increased outn?t_ m~,o.,+?_?a?e '^?^`~ine tools
have been converted to high-speed cutting.
Drills with hard alloy blades are in use at the plant. Their cutting
spe~:d is three times as great?as the speed of ordinary drills made of high-
speed steel.
DESIGNS NEW VENTILATOR FOR PEPROLEUM PLANTS -- Vechernyaya Moskva, 28 Jul 50
Designers at the Moscow Borets Plant, assisted by plant workers, have
developed a simpler and improved ventilator for fractionating towers in petro-
leum-distilling plants. Testing has been successfully completed. The venti-
lator is now being tried out under actual working conditions.
Economists have estimated that the plant will save over one million
rubles annually by producing the new type of ventilator.
