In the future, SZM-17 "Poremite" machines for the mining industry may also be produced for export, but for now, it is about meeting Russia's needs. This special equipment is needed for the safe transportation of up to 15 tons of explosive components, their mixing at the work site, and feeding into the well. The development of the Krasnoarmeysk Research Institute of Mechanization has been successfully tested.
The SZM-17 "Poremite" is installed on a KAMAZ-65222 chassis with a 6×6 wheel arrangement, which gives it significant off-road capability. It received:
- domestic software with an open architecture;
- a touch screen that allows the driver-operator of the machine to charge the well from the cab without leaving it;
- charging performance of blast wells — up to 300 kg per minute;
- resistance to heat and cold — the machine can be operated at temperatures from –45 to +45 °С;
- lighting of the well charging area;
- a new mechanism for raising the fence and ladder;
- the ability to inflate tires from the driver-operator's cab;
- a rear-view camera;
- quick-release Camlock couplings.
According to the main characteristics, the special equipment, as noted by the manufacturers, is not inferior to either foreign or Russian analogues.
SZM-17 "Poremite" is not the only model of special equipment created by the Krasnoarmeysk Research Institute of Mechanization in the last two years. It is known that they developed a delivery vehicle for components of industrial explosives to the development site. It could accommodate components for refueling two mixing and charging machines for mining operations at once, and the development was also suitable for transporting other substances.
