OREANDA-NEWS. February 22, 2013. Based on the results of the contest "Best product of the year. Volga Federal District - 2012" the products produced by the Nizhnekamsk Mechanical Plant, which is part of the TATNEFT's petrochemical complex have been included in the official register of the contest winners, which allows the plant to use the contest logo to label the plant's products.

The results of the regional contest were summed up by the Expert Commission of "Statekspert" (Moscow) Research Institute of Public Opinion by the results of sociological and marketing studies in the Volga Federal District, as well as based on industry ratings and economic analysis.
Several types of products manufactured by the plant were included in the register of winners: internal rubber mixer box KRS-250, internal rubber mixer box KRS-270, ball valves Du10Ru15 - Du32Ru40, pallet for storage and transportation of passenger tires, as well as pallet for storage and transportation of truck tires.

JSC "Nizhnekamsk Mechanical Plant" is the only manufacturer in Russia of rubber mixing boxes KRS-250, KRS-270 and their spare parts for tire manufacturing companies and factories producing industrial rubber goods.

The ball valves manufactured by the company are pipe fittings incorporating the valve plug element, made in the shape of a ball, and they are designed to be installed on steam and hot water lines of the tire manufacturing plants process equipment of the petrochemical complex. The main advantages of the ball valves are their small size, minimum flow resistance and a reliable seal of the gate, as well as possibility to visually control the locking element position. Reliability and durability in a hostile environment is achieved by accuracy of parts manufacturing and use of such construction materials as stainless steel and PTFE.

The pallet for storage and transportation of tires is a modern, convenient and practical device for the storage and transportation of different size tire products. The pallets for truck and car tires are manufactured at Nizhnekamsk Mechanical Plant. The pallet's design is such that it is made of lightweight rolled metal profile and allows transportation of products inside warehouses and entrucking. Tire loaded pallets can be stacked in four tiers, providing for a compact arrangement of tires in the warehouses. Folding side poles allow reducing the volume of pallets 8-fold, which considerably reduces the costs of transportation and storage of empty pallets.
