Are you curious about where Beko washing machines are assembled? The production of Beko equipment has been launched in Turkey and in Russia, therefore, it is most often models of domestic assembly that fall on our market. We will learn how to make Beko SMA if the box says “Country of origin: Russia”. The official site will not give such an idea about the assembly as a virtual tour of the factory, to which we invite you right now! You don’t even need to go 100 km from Moscow to the city of Kirzhach (Vladimir region), just watch a photo or video and see for yourself how everything happens!
On the facade of the plant, of course, a huge brand logo of the brand flaunts.
The company opened in 2006 and produces not only washing machines, but also refrigerators, but we will pay attention to SMA.
The production process is boiling!
Around the details and body parts of future washing machines.
The factory area is 615,000 square meters.
In huge mesh containers are the main parts of washing machines: tanks with metal drums.
New parts are waiting in line.
Everything is as automated as possible, one can immediately see whose company: in Turkey manual labor is also not particularly welcome, everything is modern.
This machine makes the back wall of the drum.
And these metal “graters” are not kitchen utensils at all, but perforated side walls of future drums!
Perforation is also done in an automated way on special machines.
A stack of practically finished drums.
A specialist in a nylon glove checks the inside of the perforated surface for burrs. We already wrote once that the German factory Miele do almost the same thing, only with the help of women's tights.
Good profession, right? And the check is really necessary - the drum should not spoil things and leave puffs.
Every detail is checked, without exception.
And this is the metal sheets for the front panels of the CMA. All metal is Russian-made.
These machines and stamp panels.
Service hatch, which is cut from the back of the case, "in person."
The production of the housing requires human participation only during programming of the machines.
The paint shop is the next interesting place in the factory.
No matter where the Beko SMA is made, there are three brand colors: white, silver and anthracite. But the most popular is the white case.
Cars acquire legs.
Main assembly line.
The tank is welded using ultrasonic welding. You can “thank” these people for the non-separable tank in the Beko SMA. It's no joke - they are not to blame, the technology was invented by the Turks.
In Kirzhach collect more than 200 variants of Beko SMA. On this conveyor, the machine receives its engine - conventional or inverter.
These "bricks" are the very balances that ensure the stability of the machine. The weight of one part is over 10 kg!
Wanted to peek into the washing machine from above? Not a problem! You are monitoring the quality of the counterweight attachment.
As for quality control at all stages - this is all serious. Control points are in different parts of the conveyor. Everything is carefully checked.
Drums with which something went wrong hang in a special department for further inspection and elimination of defects.
By the way, the production employs more than 1,100 people who come by corporate transport to work from various settlements from all over the region. Some employees even live 70 km from the factory.
Back to the washers. In the photo - brand new control panels for future AGR.
This cute machine puts program icons and a company logo on the control panel.
Glasses for the hatch are delivered to the enterprise separately, and they are connected to the frame already at the factory.
Do not be afraid if, when you buy a new washing machine, you will find a little water in it. This is only evidence of the verification that each model passes in the factory.
After checking for leaks, the cars go to the final assembly stage.
The hatch is attached.
A package of documents is being collected, including a warranty card and instructions.
Cars leave the factory, carefully packed in polystyrene foam and company packaging. They go not only to Russian stores, but also abroad - to Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, Serbia and even Germany.
Finally, look at the test lab.
When testing for spin, the test model must go through at least 2500 spin cycles.
The factory has special new white things that get dirty in different ways - they test the quality of washing, the effectiveness of programs, etc.
There is even an overload test in which the machine is loaded 1.6 times more than the permissible norm in order to find out what margin of safety the device has.
As befits, in this production in each batch of the models goes to additional quality control. In order to “fill” the required number of test cycles, the models work non-stop for days.
A moment of rest:) Production is so large that you can even move around the workshops on a special bike.
It was in Kirzhach that a popular model with a drip drum, an inverter motor, an extraction of 1200 revolutions per minute and drying - WDW 85120 B3, which cost only 33,000 rubles, comes off the assembly line.
P.S. We hope that you will no longer worry which country you buy home appliances. As you can see, in Russia they can provide excellent assembly and careful product quality control.
