OAO Demikhovsky Machine Building Plant

Demikhovsky Machine-Building Plant has been producing rolling stock for more than 20 years . During this time the company has developed more than two dozen different types of electronic trains. And the production totals more than 8000 cars. Electronic trains manufactured by this enterprise, for today without any obstacles can be operated in any climatic zone of the Russian Federation or CIS countries.

Beginning and development

Very few people know that the history of the DMZ begins from the distant 1935, when the plant was used to provide the USSR with specialized chemical equipment. At that time, the number of employees of this enterprise was only 100 people, and during its existence it managed to endure a huge number of changes and stages of re-profiling.

It should be noted that during the Great Patriotic War the plant's capacities were also reformatted in order to provide the military forces of the Soviet Union with various specialized equipment such as Katyusha, air tanks and so on. Already in 1947 the plant began to produce the first peat cars, that is, the production of railway elements started, which subsequently developed more and more.

A new stage of history

In the late 80-ies of the last century there was a complete re-profiling of the production of this enterprise. In connection with the introduction of a new technology and the development of the operation of 12 and 14-car electric trains, it was necessary to provide the most urgent modernization of rolling stock. It should be noted that the Riga Carriage Works, which at that time was the main manufacturer of commuter trains on the territory of the USSR, was clearly unable to cope with the emerging demand.

It is for this reason that the Demikhovsk machine-building plant started its work in this direction. The feedback of employees who work in the company during this time shows that, despite all kinds of disruptions in work, the company management should always ensure maximum comfort and comfort for its employees, as well as for all passengers who will subsequently use their products .

In 2006, Demikhovsky Machine Building Plant produced and sold 571 cars of electronic trains ED4M, ED4MK, and ED9M, while all possible spare parts for this company were sold for more than 40 million rubles. It is worth noting the fact that in 2006 the enterprise made its own development - a model of the ED4MKM train. In the future, the first version of such an electric train was certified only in 2008. It was intended for carrying out so-called intermodal transportations. Over time, production growth only increased, and in 2007, 630 electric cars were sold, including the updated model ED9MK.

Modern developments

In 2015, after a small crisis, the development of a specialized suburban electronic train model EP2D began. This composition is the successor of models ED4M 500 series. It complies with the newest security requirements established in the countries of the Customs Union and is intended to provide comfortable passenger traffic in areas where the track width is 1520 mm and where the electrified DC current has a voltage of 3000 V.

It is worth noting the fact that the new model of the train can work on any lines, regardless of the height of the platforms. At the moment, it is envisaged the possibility of creating in the near future a similar model of an electric train of alternating current EP3D, as well as a specialized diesel composition.

Scale of production

Special attention should be paid to the impressive production capacities that the Demikhovsk machine-building plant has. At the moment the area of the enterprise is 47.2 hectares, on which there are assembling-welding, machine-assembly, car-assembly, blanking-press and many other shops. Thus, the complex operation of several divisions allows to ensure the most productive and high-quality work, as control over the implementation of technology is carried out even in the process of manufacturing small parts.

Demikhivsky Machine Building Plant provides jobs for more than 2,400 people, while a significant part of the company's employees includes the highest-level specialists with a long working experience in the field of engineering.

Features of work

It is worth noting the following features of this enterprise:

• Use only the most reliable technical solutions;
• Full compliance of manufactured structures with basic safety standards and all Russian standards;
• In accordance with the wishes of the customer, the plant can produce trains of different composition;
• Any train is characterized by high enough passenger capacity;
• Compositions are made in such a way that in the course of their work they provide significant energy savings (specialized trains equipped with a separate set of energy-saving equipment are manufactured for this purpose);
• Maximum level of comfort for passengers;
• The possibility of forming a barrier-free environment ;
• Extremely low maintenance costs.

It is worth noting the fact that the trains that the Demikhov Machine Building Plant manufactured were used in the course of a number of world-class events such as the World Summer Universiade, the APEC Summit, the Winter Paralympic and Olympic Games, as well as the Russian Formula One stage, Sochi.

What are the advantages?

The trains that OAO Demikhovsk Machine-Building Plant manufactures differ in their extremely high manufacturability, and they also have a rather modern design. The company is constantly working to improve the quality of its products, so the modernization of the rolling stock is carried out in full compliance with all world standards. Works aimed at creating new train models are carried out with direct cooperation with advanced design organizations and institutes not only in Russia, but also in Germany, France, Latvia and the Czech Republic.

Each train, which was produced by OJSC Demikhovsky Machine Building Plant, is equipped with a specialized microclimate maintenance system, as well as an internal video surveillance system located both in the salons and in the vestibules.

Providing comfort and safety

In order to ensure the convenience of the locomotive crew, the formulations are equipped with a dedicated operator panel, which constantly displays the status of the heating, air conditioning and traffic safety systems in use. Among other things, the set of equipment in the cockpit is supplemented with tools such as a warning system, auto-communication and "passenger-machinist" communications.

All electronic trains are equipped with special inter-car coupling devices, by means of which a free and rigid connection of the whole composition is ensured. Due to the use of such elements, the overall degree of dynamic load exerted on passenger cars is substantially reduced.

Fully encapsulated inter-car transitions provide the lowest possible noise level, as well as more effective thermal insulation of the salons and protection from any precipitation. At the same time, prislonno-sliding automatic doors are convenient for access to both low and high platforms, not to mention that the specialized mechanism excludes the possibility of squeezing individual parts of the body or any personal things in the doors, which is also Important enough.

Interior decoration

The interior of electronic trains, which DMZ manufactures (Demikhovsky machine-building plant), is executed in the same style and taking into account the latest trends in industrial design. For the production of side walls and interior partitions, GRP is used, which allows to significantly increase the service life of the panels, and also to extend the overall durability of the interior trim.

It should be noted that the Demikhovsky Machine Building Plant (a reduction - DMZ) can also develop a completely individual interior design with any layout you need. The choice of the customer is offered a large number of options for how to optimally place the seats inside the car. Different chairs and sofas, which are installed in such salons, are made only of the most modern wear-resistant materials.

Additional Items

Among the additional components that the Demikhovsk machine-building plant (Transmashholding, DMZ) offers to install, it is necessary to distinguish such elements:

• bar;
• Compartment for conductors;
• Environmentally friendly vacuum toilets;
• Monitors, through which video broadcasts are made;
• Fully wireless Internet access;
• A specialized system for counting passengers and the location of the train;
• Fasteners, allowing to ensure reliable transportation of bicycles.

Developments for people with disabilities

It should be noted that the Demikhovsky Machine-Building Plant (photo above) also proposes to manufacture trains in which specialized conditions for people with disabilities will be provided. Thus, the head cars of this composition can be equipped with special folding ramps, as well as with all kinds of lifts designed for people who move with a wheelchair. At the same time, the salons provide for the location of special places on which the wheelchairs are attached, as well as toilet complexes of extended dimensions, with special handrails.

All the structural features of electronic trains, produced by the Demikhovsky Machine-Building Plant (Orekhovo-Zuevo), are aimed at providing the most comfortable conditions for passengers to travel. It is for this reason that the rolling stock of this plant is used today in the territory of all CIS countries.

Factory close?

It is worth noting the fact that in connection with the onset of the crisis, almost all industries have suffered hard times, and DMZ is no exception. Thus, during the course of 2015, the work of this enterprise stopped for a certain period of time, and there were rumors that the Demikhovsky machine-building plant was being closed down. In the end, the situation has more or less stabilized, and at the moment the enterprise continues to issue trains on request.
