At the initiative of the company "TEKHINKOM-Komtrans" for journalists from leading publications on commercial transport and special equipment has been arranged a press-tour to the plant "Ekomteh" in Dubna near Moscow.

During an informal conversation with journalists the General Director of the company "Ekomteh" Grigory Belotserkovsky told the story of the enterprise.
Production began in Dubna in 1991. First production was not comparable with today. It was a small shop, where all the manufacturing operations around the collected cars were held in cramped conditions.
And yet this does not prevent to produce quality trucks with a unique design. Gregory M. has personally dedicated a lot of time engineering developments. Engineering thought on "Ekomteh" occupies a key position. It is important to take into account all the nuances of operation of a garbage truck that then he has served to the consumer.
Now in the asset specialists "Ekomteh" more than fifty developments of garbage trucks of various designs, combined machines for cleaning and maintenance of roads, sweepers-sweepers, equipment for sewage treatment and equipment for sorting solid waste.

Today "Ekomteh" is a modern design office, equipped with powerful computers, allowing not only to accelerate the development of new machines, but also to a new quality of design work. Specialists of the company – young engineers who have mastered new methods of design and become real professionals.
The new factory in Dubna in December 2018, creating 18 full jobs in the region. Full-featured enterprise includes assembling and welding shops. All necessary equipment is functioning and allows you to produce a dozen pieces of equipment on a monthly basis. The company plans to increase annual production to 150 cars. The staff is quite small, but it is specially selected and highly qualified personnel that support their work and a responsible approach to production processes.

Special attention to "Ekomteh" is paid to the quality and reliability. Metal structures are welded from steel 09G2S, use of imported hydraulic equipment and chrome pipe for high pressure hoses.

To ensure the quality of the paint purchased paint camera, and for painting materials used brand BASF.
"In 2014, we became a fully independent manufacturer. We have our own production managers and engineering personnel, which allows today to have in our portfolio more than fifty developments, – said Grigory Belotserkovsky – and it's not just trucks, this road combined machines, sweeping vehicles, and equipment for sorting solid waste".
It is worth noting that high evaluation of engineering solutions company "Ekomteh" putting other companies – participants of the market of municipal engineering.

The Director General held for journalists a tour of the shops of the plant.

Paid particular attention to the quality of metal (parts are supplied in finished form and it helps to ensure the absence of waste), for high precision of welding, and was examined by a paint chamber in which is maintained a high temperature for drying painted items.

By the way, garbage trucks "Ekomteh" painted in parts, not entirely – this avoids corrosion in hidden places.

Modern range of trucks includes 8-, 13-, 16 - and 20-boiler model rear loading two - and three-axle Russian and imported brands of chassis KAMAZ, MAZ and Hino. It is planned to master the production of garbage trucks with side loading and bankurawase.

On trucks manufactured "Ekomteh", applied by a patented guide and there are no slots in the side walls of the rear wall, which eliminates spillage and clogging of the slits, unlike the similar technique of competitors. Another feature musorovozy designs is "Ekomteh" is that all the slides they handed out, unlike analog, which facilitates maintenance and replacement, and eliminates direct contact with the waste that prolongs the life. The degree of compaction of the refuse reaches 7:1.
The hydraulic cylinder of the carriage is located so that compression was the piston cavity (so the pressing force is increased by 40%). Machines are equipped with reinforced plate for pressing and knife. Hydraulic cylinders, nylon sliders, limit switches and sensors are located outside, which as mentioned is best for maintenance of equipment and does not allow its elements to contact with debris.

New design locking tailgate, eliminates random opening and preclude the flow of fluid when the garbage truck. All welds cleaned and promazyvaetsya with a sealant that prevents premature metal corrosion and increases the service life when the equipment is operated in aggressive environment. All components of the truck are shot blasted surface treatment before painting, which ensures the durability of the coating.

Seal rear side – special (made to order) system is installed for precluding the flow of "brine" (tray with a drain in the receptacle rear wall). Garbage trucks are equipped with hydraulic valves WALVOIL (Italy) and OMFB pumps (Italy). There is a possibility of retrofitting a gantry mechanism without changing design.
The kinematics of capture allows you to take containers with a capacity of 80 liters. Proximity sensors BALLUFF(Germany), installed on the outside of the rear wall, which eliminates their contact with the waste (high reliability). On trucks mounted automatic Berlanga type (on controller), however, with the American processor, ensuring operation even in high temperature and high humidity. Remote automation to unload the ejector plate and lift tailgate is located in the cockpit.

Plant employees showed journalists the work of the garbage truck MKZ-50-18 on chassis KAMAZ-65115 ordered one of the clients "TEKHINKOM-Komtrans".

My feeling – the machine works surprisingly quickly and quietly. The truck easily handles the unloading of containers of different types.

Commercial Director of "TEKHINKOM-Komtrans" Anton Zambrowski said at a press conference: "Our cooperation with the company "Ekomteh" has begun in 1994 during this time has held a number of successful transactions. But perhaps the discussions were not too systematic. From 2019, we completely refocused our communication format, and now believe "Ekomteh" as its key partner. Therefore, as a first step in our joint work, we decided to hold this event for specialized media, and to remind industry about the plant "Ekomteh". We are confident that together we will be able to take a worthy place in the market of public art".
