MOSCOW PLANTS STEP UP PUMP PRODUCTION;
DEVE NEW COMPRESSOR
The Moscow Pump Plant imeni Kalinin ie one of the oldest enterprises in
the capital. It makes pumps of various types, including excavation pumps for
the Kuybyshev Hydroelectric Station on the Volga.
The plant fulfilled its third-quarter plan 109 percent in gross output,
and 111 percent 1n commercial output.' It was awarded second place in the all-
Union socialist competition by the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions
and the Ministry of Machine and Instrument Building: It greatly exceeded its"
production program in spite of the fact that it had'4 percent fewer workers
than estimated in the plan. The plant has now pledged to complete its annual ~
plan in output of all types of pumps by 17 December, and this pledge is being
successfully carried out.'
During the last 2 years, the plant has changed unbelievably. Production
has been reorganized and the conveyer-belt assembly of pumps has`been'carried
out. More than 3,000 square meters have been freed for production. With the
help of this additional area,?and with no increase in the number of workers,
output was almost doubled within a short time. Over one million rubles of
More attention was paid to the casting shop. Individual sections were re-
organized, conveyers were installed, and the work of sand-preparation was im-
proved. As a result. s large. suaalementarv mol3ina area was obtained. The
mechanization of many labor-consuming manual processes made it possible to
double the output of castings in the same production area. Improved methods of
filling molds were worked out. Large-scale technical organization measures
were slso introduced in other shops:
different shops. This caused great difficulties which were reflected in the
parts and the assembly of" pampa were organized along conveyer methods.

Important suggestions were made for avoiding bottlenecks in the machining
of parts and the assembly of pumps. Special rotating tables were designed for
the drilling machines. Thus, existing equipment could be used for machining
parts, without the purchase of new radial drilling machines. The adoption of
this suggestion sharply increased output, and the production program for arte-
sian and small pumps was exceeded.
An old cleaning area was remodeled into a well-equipped, 1,500-square me-
ter cleaning shop. This made possible a steady flow of goods from the casting
shop to the assembly shop. A special apparatus is being constructed in the
cleaning shop for removing the sand after the mold frame_is_knocked off .and the
chipping is done. By means of two conveyer belts under the shop floor, the
sand will be fed by lift and hopper directly on, .to trucks.
The plsnt has received a large order for the production of heavy-duty ex-
cavation pumps for the Kuybyshev Hydroelectric Station. The first order has
been completed, and the required number of pumps was ready before the promised
date.
In September, the Moscow Kompressor Plant put out a new horizontal two-
stage ammonia compressor with a refrigerating capacity of 275,000 calories per
hour.. Compressors of this type will be produced for various branches of the
national economy where the technological production process requires tempera-
tures as low as minus 30-35 degrees centigrade.
FAILS TO UTILIZE MACHINE TOOLS PROPERLY -- Moscow, Moskovakaya Pravda, 8 Dec, 50
It is to be regretted that certain Moscow plants do not utilize their
equipment to the fullest extent. For example, the machine tool park at the
Moscow Steklomashina Plant has an average total load of 46 percent, and some
machine tools are used even less than this -- vertical milling machines, 35
percent; gear-milling machines, 23.3 percent; and gear shapers, only 9.7 per-
cent. If you add this to the fact that about 18 percent of the parts produced
at the plant are rejects, it is easy to see how uneconomically the machine
tools are utilized there.
Often the productivity of equipment is sharply reduced because the tech-
nologista and workers in the production planning departments do not plan the
technological processes or assign the parts to the machine tools carefully.:
LENINGRAD PLANTS CARRY OL'T COLLECTIVE CONTRACTS -- Leningradskaya Pravda,
1 Nov 50 '
Checking on fulfillment of collective contracts at Leningrad plants of the
Ministry of Machine and Instrument Building has been completed. In the large
majority of enterprises, the mutual obligations of administration and collec- '
tives are being successfully carried out.'
The Leningrad Plant imeni Vtoroy Pyatiletki.had an almost perfect record
for the third quarter.,.
