Kalashnikov Group Invests 200 Million Rubles in High-Precision Casting for Smelting Complex Weapon Parts

As part of the modernization, six units of modern equipment were installed at IMZ

Izhevsk Mechanical Plant (JSC "IMZ", part of the Kalashnikov Group) invested more than 200 million rubles in the modernization of the high-precision casting section using investment casting models of the procurement and metallurgical production division during 2023–2025.

As part of the investment project, six units of modern equipment were installed at the production facility: an air conditioner, a boiler-clave, a drying chamber conveyor, a pass-through furnace for calcining blocks before casting, and two melting complexes.

The modernization made it possible to automate the production of gating systems, improve the processes of applying a fire-resistant coating and melting out the filler, which ultimately significantly improved the quality of metal castings that are made in this area. If necessary, IMZ will be able to double the production of high-precision investment casting.

With the help of high-precision investment casting, IMZ manufactures complex parts of the receiver for the MR-27 shotgun, as well as slides and frames for the Makarov pistol and products based on it: the MR-71 service pistol, the MR-371 signal pistol, the Baikal-442 sports and training pistol, the MR-654 pneumatic pistol, the MR-79-9 and MR-80 traumatic pistols.
