High-production machines and aggregates, automatics, and automatic transfer
lines have to a great degree replaced outdated equipment in the food production
industry. In bread baking, for example, there are 7 times as many traveling
ovens as there were hefure the war, 9 times as many dough-kneading machines,
and 6 times as many dough-dividing machine Nev equipment has made it possible
tc mechanize flour sifting by 98 percent, dough finishing by 30 percent, and
mixing by 98 percent, Mare than 60 percent of all bread is now baked in travel-
ing ovens as compared to less than 31 percent in i940.
Many confectionery factories arc, equipped with advanced equipment. For
example, there are now three times e.s many wrapping machines as there were in
1940.
The meat and dairy and the fi;h _ndu;tries have been technically re-equipped.
Sixty percent of the equipment at meat combines was replaced with more modern
equipment in the Fourth Five-`ear Plan, Many meat combines have introduced con-
veyer methods in the production of meat dumplings, cutlets, and sausage products.
Artificial refrigeration has been used more extensively The capacity of refri-
gerated locker rooms for meat has tripled. The milk industry has received bot-
tle washing and pouring machines on a wider scale. A park of tank trucks and
railway tank cars for transporting milk has been organized,
However, for the most part, only large enterprises have been furnished with
modern high-production equipment. Many medium and small enterprises still have
old equipment with a low level of aut,.,natizction. The equipment is being modern-
ized slowly. The capacities of machine building plants that manufacture equip-
ment for food enterprises are limited. Specialization in building definite
types of machines and automatics is still inadequate, The machine building base
within the food products industry is unable to ensure a sufficient s'.rpply of
new equipment, plants of the Ministry of Machine Building are far from satis-
fying the needs of food enterprises.

Of 354 machines required by the food pr-'lets industry, machine building
enterprises put out only 88; of 70-80 types of packaging automatics, only ten

the last 'a Vugranka Plant is responsible for supplying enter-
prises of the food industry with high-production equipment and automatics. In
few years, the plant has mastered series production of 12 aew types
of machines and automatics for the meat, oil, fish, margarine, and macaroni
industries.. Machine, mode by the plant have been installed at core than 260
enterprises Recently, the plant released the first domestic experimental auto-
matic line for making paper cartons, filling them with milk, and sealing them.
New designs of high-production presses will make possible a technological
constant-flow line for processes such ri5 pressing vegetable oils from oleagin-
ous crops, for the manufacture of macaroni products. and for use in margarine

presses has replc:cEd :, au,regates ::t an oi_ plant and six at
a macaroni plant. Each machine has released three to five men from various
operations?
Much less metal is consumed in the manufacture of the new machines. For
example, 30 percent less metal

The plant. in cooperation with c:ieurific rasearrh ina*it.utes, is con-
stantly improving the designs and ter:.nical ru,d cannons specifications of
automatics, Recently, the plant did a great deal of work in modernizing the
MPD-1 macaroni press. The machine was simplified and the labor used in its
manufacture was decreased. At least 2; percent lose metal was used in th'i
modernized model, which has 288 fewer parts.
In 1953, the plant has to produce a number of new automatics for the food
Industry, Newly built, gigantic plants in Central Asia 'Will receive oil
presses. The installation of new automatics for the vacuum sealing of metal
cans will make it possible to automatize production processes at fish canneries
in the Far East and Kamchatka and at milk canneries in the European I.SR and
in Siberia.
In 1953, the plant will. turn out a large number of continuous screw presses
for pressing animal fut. This aggregate will make it possible to mechanize
labor-consuming production processes at neat enterprises and to increase the
output of animal fat.
The plant will also produce new complex automatics for the tobacco and
perfume industries. The plant is now faced with the task of producing four

u+achine;, Which include the EKL-1 cigarette tube
making (gil'zodelatel`nyy) and packing automatic
ping and packing automatic, J-1, filter, a tobacco wrap-
c, the UK cigarette packinG auto- tic and an auto-
matic for machining aluminum tubes for the perfume industry. In 1954, the
plant must begin series production of these automatics.
The plant has been successfully decreasing the cost of manufacturing ma-
chines and automatics for a long period. In 1953, the cost of manufacturing
a macaroni press is 84 percent less than in 1946. In 1953, the UPZA automatic
for sealing metal cans costs 78 percent less to make than in 1951, and the UVZA
machine 80 percent legs.
Although many improvements have been made in the production of machines
and automatics, all means have not been explored for improving the technical
and economic indexes. A basic fault in plant operation is the nonfulfillment
of the products list plant for certain months but exceeding the i -gross produc-
tio] plan with nonplanned products
Another shortcoming in the work of the enterprise is inefficient intra-
plant planning. Despite repeated decisions by the plant party bureau to eli-
miniate shortcomings in the systen of operative production planning, no change
has yet been made. The present system has notable defects. For example, it
does not use the subassembly principle and, as a result, there are frequent
work stoppages at the assembly shop,
To eliminate these and a number of other shortcomings and to attain high
economic indexes, the plant management and the party orgznization must work
out practical measures for more effective utilization of equipment, raw mater-
ials, fuel, and electric power, -- D Pod'yakov. engineer of tr:e Technical
