The American company Cummins produces power units for road construction, mining equipment, railway, automobile, water transport, oil and gas. The Cummins engine is a model of reliability, environmental friendliness and profitability.
Story
The activities of Cummins Inc began in the United States in 1919 (Columbus, Indiana), where the company’s headquarters are still located. Today it takes the first place among independent manufacturers of engines with power from 60 to 3500 liters. from. and produces more than 1 million engines annually.
The Cummins engine is assembled at 26 production sites in Asia (India, Japan, China), both 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, mining 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 generator sets, the development and production of various components: fuel equipment, turbochargers, filters, exhaust gas purification systems, etc.
Cummins Assortment
Spare parts, consumables and assembled engines themselves are the main products of the American manufacturer. Industrial motors of both medium and low power (60-500 hp) of the QSM, QSB6.7, QSB4.5, B3.3, QSC, LTAA, QSL and QSX15 models 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. Heavy duty industrial trucks (500-3500 hp) of the QSK15, QSK19, KTA19, QST 30, QSK45, KTA38, QSK60, KTA 50 and QSK78 models are equipped with heavy mining trucks and large construction equipment manufactured by Komatsu, Liebherr, BelAZ, Promtractor.
The QSK95 is Cummins most powerful 16-cylinder engine designed for super - heavy mining trucks, diesel locomotives, ships and stationary diesel generator sets.
Latest developments
For off-road vehicles, today the company manufactures Tier 1 - Tier 3 environmental standards with electronic or mechanical control that meets the requirements for toxicity in various regions of the world. In 2014, Cummins Inc began mass production of the Tier 4 Final and StageIV industrial engine line.
Updated products were 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 (working volume 11.8 L).
In addition to Euro4 / 5 standard motors, the production of Tier3 / 4F certification level motors with a power range of 335-512 liters is also in progress. from. The main innovation introduced in the G series was unique design solutions that allowed the new steel product to have the best power density, reaching an incredible figure for engines of this displacement of 862 kg. The most balanced is the Cummins QSG12 engine, which has outstripped competitors in the market of tractors, combines, loaders, cranes, excavators and other construction and road equipment.
Repair and diagnostics
Please note that American products are technologically sophisticated, therefore , Cummins engine repair is recommended to be carried out by certified dealers. The Quantum system used in engines with electronic control allows you to bring the power characteristics of power units in accordance with the individual loads on the equipment and the requirements for emissions of harmful substances into the environment.
Additional features:
- The Cense diagnostic system monitors the basic parameters of the engine, tracks the trends of their changes, allows you to diagnose emerging defects and determine the time for maintenance.
- Insite software provides step-by-step engine diagnostics and accurately identifies faults.
- To improve the performance of engines, it is necessary to eliminate the need for an oil change or to repeatedly increase the interval for its replacement. With Centinel's state-of-the-art oil change management system, the company has already reached an oil change interval of about 4,000 hours, and an oil filter change interval of up to 1,000 hours.
- The Eliminator self-cleaning automatic filtering system eliminates the need for replaceable oil filters: a two-stage filtration system is able to work the entire life of the power unit.
Cooperation with Russia
Cummins Inc was the first of the foreign TOP companies to localize the production of industrial motors in Russia - KamAZ was a partner. The first in the series went the legendary “B” line (capacity 140-300 hp), which brought glory 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 liters was mastered. from. Tractor Plants Concern was the first to use these engines on T-11.02 bulldozers manufactured by Promtractor. The joint venture's immediate plans also include the beginning of deliveries to other local customers, such as RM-Tereks and others.
