GOMEL, 20 May (BelTA) – The Belarusian-Chinese agricultural mechanical engineering joint venture Harbin Dong Jin Gomel (Heilongjiang Province, China) has started manufacturing five-row ear corn harvesters, BelTA learned from Igor Korotkevich, Head of the Non-CIS Sales Office of the Belarusian industrial group Gomselmash.
In his words, the novelty will replace the four-row harvester, which production began in 2011. The new vehicle boasts better performance and improved design peculiarities. It uses a straight-through system to deliver ear corn for the sake of the vehicle’s better reliability and less metal content.
Founded by the Belarusian industrial group Gomselmash and the Chinese corporation Dong Jin Group, the joint venture intends to make at least 1,000 ear corn harvesters in 2013, roughly 50% more than in 2012. The new harvesters will constitute over half of the output, said Igor Korotkevich.
The source also said that every year the company masters new products or substantially modernizes old ones for the sake of surviving the rough competition on the Chinese market. It is possible that the company may start manufacturing a corn harvester that will store threshed grain instead of ear corn in its bin.
The Belarusian-Chinese agricultural mechanical engineering joint venture Harbin Dong Jin Gomel was created in late 2009. The joint venture specializes in assembling self-propelled forage harvesters KSK-600 Palesse FS60 and ear corn harvesters. Some of the mechanisms and parts of the assembly kits are delivered from Gomel while other parts are made by Chinese enterprises.
