The American company Cummins produces power units for road construction, quarry equipment, railway, road, water transport, oil and gas industry. The Cummins engine is the epitome of reliability, sustainability and economy.
History
Cummins Inc began in the United States in 1919 (Columbus, Indiana), where the company's headquarters are located to this day. Today it ranks first among independent manufacturers of engines from 60 to 3500 hp. With. and produces more than 1 million motors annually.
The Cummins engine is assembled at 26 manufacturing sites in Asia (India, Japan, China), the Americas, Europe and the Russian Federation. The company has more than 500 distributors and 6500 dealers in 190 countries.
Production
The American company produces engines for road construction, automotive, quarry equipment, railway, water transport, oil and gas applications. In addition to the production of engines, the company is engaged in the manufacture of diesel and gas piston engines.generator sets, development and production of various components: fuel equipment, turbochargers, filters, exhaust gas cleaning systems, etc.
Cummins range
Spare parts, consumables and complete engines are the main products of the American manufacturer. Industrial motors of both medium and low power (60-500 hp) models QSM, QSB6.7, QSB4.5, B3.3, QSC, LTAA, QSL and QSX15 are installed on Hitachi, Hyundai, Doosan, Atlas products Copco, Komatsu, TEREX, JLG, Liu Gong.
In Russia, a Cummins diesel engine is installed on the equipment of Promtractor, Rostselmash, PTZ. High-power industrial motors (500-3500 hp) of the QSK15, QSK19, KTA19, QST 30, QSK45, KTA38, QSK60, KTA 50 and QSK78 models are equipped with heavy mining dump trucks and large construction equipment manufactured by Komatsu, Liebherr, BelAZ, Promtractor.
QSK95 is Cummins' most powerful 16-cylinder engine for super-heavy mining trucks, diesel locomotives, ships and stationary diesel generator sets.
Latest developments
For off-highway vehicles, the company today manufactures Tier 1 - Tier 3 emission standards, electronically or mechanically controlled, to meet emissions requirements in various regions of the world. Since 2014, Cummins Inc has begun mass production of the Tier 4 Final and Stage IV industrial engine line.
Updated productswas successfully presented at the largest international exhibition of industrial equipment ConAgg / CONEXPO, held in March 2014 in Las Vegas. One of the new products introduced to the market was the new ISG / QSG family (11.8 l displacement).
In addition to Euro4/5 standard motors, Tier3/4F certification level motors with a power range of 335-512 hp are also produced. With. The main innovation introduced in the G series was the unique design solutions that allowed the new steel to be the best in terms of power density, reaching an incredible indicator for engines of this displacement of 862 kg. The most balanced engine is the Cummins QSG12, which has outperformed its competitors in the market of tractors, harvesters, loaders, cranes, excavators and other road construction equipment.
Repair and diagnostics
It is necessary to take into account that American products are technologically complex, therefore it is recommended to repair Cummins engines at certified dealers. The Quantum system used in electronically controlled engines allows powertrains to be matched to individual equipment loads and emission requirements.
Additional features:
- The Cense diagnostic system monitors the main parameters of the engine, monitors trends in their change, allows you to diagnose emerging defects and determine the time for maintenance.
- Insite software produces step by stepengine diagnostics and allows you to accurately detect faults.
- To improve the performance of engines, it is necessary to eliminate the need for oil changes or to increase the oil change interval many times over. With the help of Centinel's advanced oil change management system, the company has already achieved an oil change interval of around 4,000 hours and an oil filter change interval of up to 1,000 hours.
- The Eliminator's self-cleaning automatic filter system eliminates the need for oil filters, with a two-stage filter system designed to last the entire life of the powertrain.
Cooperation with Russia
Cummins Inc was the first of the top foreign companies to localize the production of industrial engines in Russia - KamAZ acted as a partner. The legendary line “B” (power 140-300 hp) was the first to go into the series, which brought fame to the Cummins brand. Spare parts, components and assemblies were mostly produced at domestic facilities.
In 2014, the production of the QSB6.7 model with a capacity of 180-260 hp was mastered. With. Concern Tractor Plants was the first to use these engines on T-11.02 bulldozers produced by Promtractor. The immediate plans of the joint venture also include the start of deliveries to other local customers, such as RM-Tereks and others.
