Within the project implemented in Uzbekistan, Skinest Rail placed an order to Belarus-based Kuzlitmash for four casting cleaning system sets for the Uzbek wagon construction plant.

Kuzlitmash said that currently is completing works on shipping equipment to Uzbekistan. Skinest Rail is customer of the order, the Belarus firm said. The equipment will be used for construction of smelting capacities for 5,000 wagon sets.

Cleaning systems are intended for mechanisation of cast iron and steel cleaning works (to remove fillings, remains of ingate, burning-ons) with abrasive roughing disc in small-scale and mass production.

The project implementation will allow the plant to produce 1,200 cargo wagons and repair 1,500 freight wagons as year. The plant will also produce 950 units of containers.

Foundry- Mechanical Plant will also produce 26,479.1 tonnes of foundry products and 600 tonnes of metallic constructions a year. At the same time, it will export 25% of goods.

The project is financed due to own resources of Uzbekistan Temir Yollari at the size of US$71.38 million and loan of the Fund for Reconstruction and Development – US$48.8 million.

Within the project, Uzbekistan Temir Yollari inked agreement on supplying of equipment and rendering services for US$54.3 million with AS Skinest Rail (Estonia).
