Moscow, May 26–29, 2026 – Maanshan Zhongrun Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. made a strong impression at the CTT Expo, held at the Crocus Expo IEC. Our team welcomed a constant stream of visitors to Booth 5-203 in Hall 5, where we presented our latest wear-resistant castings for concrete mixer and asphalt mixer equipment.   The four-day event confirmed the growing demand across Russia and the CIS for reliable, heavy-duty mixer wear parts that perform consistently in harsh environments. Our on-stand samples—including mixing blades, liner plates, and arms—drew significant interest from both existing partners and new buyers. Many visitors were delighted to finally meet our experts in person, turning long-standing online conversations into firm handshakes and even on-the-spot orders.   Why Russian companies choose Zhongrun mixer parts Russian asphalt and concrete plants often operate under severe conditions—extreme cold in winter, abrasive aggregates, and high-temperature mixing cycles. Our components are cast in high-chromium alloy and undergo a proprietary heat treatment that achieves a uniform hardness of 55–65 HRC. The result is a liner plate or blade that resists wear, minimizes distortion, and significantly extends the replacement cycle. Whether it is an original machine from Ludekaz, AMMANN, TTM, SICOMA, BHS, ELKON, SANY, or a local Russian brand, we manufacture tailored replacement wear parts to the exact dimensional and metallurgical specifications.   Exhibition highlights and market insights Face-to-face trust: Over the four days, our booth hosted dozens of international clients. Engineers and procurement managers examined the castings firsthand, checking hardness, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy. These personal interactions greatly strengthened confidence. Immediate conversions: Several visitors brought drawings and wear part lists. With our technical team on site, we were able to provide instant feasibility feedback and preliminary pricing, leading to confirmed trial orders before the exhibition closed. New friendships, new markets: Beyond established customers, we connected with many independent service providers and plant owners who are actively looking for a reliable, factory-direct source of mixer spares. Our factory videos and sample reports made a clear difference.   Looking ahead: our commitment to the Russian market Zhongrun has been exporting wear-resistant castings to Russia and neighboring countries for over a decade. Our familiarity with regional logistics and documentation—combined with an annual production capacity of 20,000 tons—means we can offer competitive factory prices and stable delivery schedules. Whether you need a single trial set of asphalt paver auger flights or a full-year supply of concrete mixer blades and liners, we are ready to support your business.   Let’s continue the conversation Missed us at CTT Expo?

The Spring Festival holiday has concluded, and our team has returned with renewed energy and focus. But what does a full-scale production restart actually mean for your orders? Let's walk through how we've transitioned from holiday shutdown to full manufacturing capacity in record time, ensuring your wear-resistant components ship without delay.   The Post-Holiday Transition: More Than Flipping a Switch Resuming operations after an extended break involves systematic preparation. Our production team completed a comprehensive equipment maintenance check on all furnaces and machinery before the first batch of raw materials was introduced. This ensures that every high-chromium iron casting meets the same rigorous quality standards you expect. Our quality control lab is fully operational, conducting spectrographic analysis on all alloy compositions before production begins. Current Production Status and Lead Times As of this week, all production lines are running at full capacity. Our foundry is now processing orders with standard lead times restored. Key updates for clients: Mixer blade, liner, arm production: Full-scale manufacturing resumed with expedited scheduling for pending orders Custom casting requests: Engineering team available for new project consultations Inventory restocking: High-demand concrete plant parts are being replenished for immediate shipment Our shipping department is also fully staffed, coordinating both domestic and international logistics to ensure your components reach job sites as scheduled. Strategic Inventory: A Lesson from the Holiday Pause The holiday period reinforced an important principle: strategic inventory management benefits everyone. Clients who maintained wear part inventories experienced uninterrupted operations during the shutdown. For those who didn't, we're prioritizing their restocking needs now. This is an excellent time to evaluate your consumable parts levels. With production running at full capacity, we can help you build the buffer stock needed to weather any future schedule disruptions—planned or unexpected. Your 2026 Production Partner A fresh year brings renewed commitment to quality and delivery. Our team is fully engaged, our quality systems are verified, and our production capacity is at maximum. Whether you need standard replacement blades or custom-engineered wear solutions, we're ready to support your projects throughout 2026. Plan Your 2026 Stock Now Avoid future delays by building your strategic inventory now.

Building on a year of significant global projects, we are excited to outline our focus for 2026. This year, our engineering efforts will intensify on developing next-generation high-chromium iron alloys and smart wear monitoring integrations for heavy-duty mixing equipment.   Foundational Success from 2025 The past year was pivotal. Our large-scale shipment of concrete mixer blades to Russia demonstrated our capacity to meet major international demand, helping clients dramatically reduce downtime. Success at the Kazakhstan Road Exhibition further solidified our role as a key solutions provider in Central Asia's growing infrastructure sector.   Engineering the Future: 2026 Roadmap In 2026, our R&D will target two core areas. First, advancing material science to push the performance boundaries of our wear-resistant components. Second, exploring digital solutions that predict maintenance needs, transforming how plant managers plan for part replacement and maximize equipment uptime.   Learn More About Our 2026 Direction Discover how our commitment to innovation can enhance your operation’s efficiency and bottom line in the coming year.Explore Our 2026 Product Preview [Link to new page/section]

In our continuous commitment to excellence and workplace safety, we recently organized a specialized Hazard Identification Training session for our production and engineering teams. The training was conducted by a certified municipal Senior Safety Engineer, focusing on proactive risk management in a heavy manufacturing environment.   Proactive Risk Management in Focus The session provided an in-depth analysis of potential hazards associated with wear part production and heavy machinery operation. Using real-world scenarios from our shop floor, the expert guided teams through advanced methodologies for identifying, assessing, and controlling risks before they lead to incidents. This knowledge is crucial for maintaining the integrity of our high-chromium iron components manufacturing process.   Safety as a Core Production Principle This initiative underscores our belief that a safe workplace is the foundation of quality and reliability. By empowering our team with advanced safety competencies, we ensure that every concrete mixer blade and wear-resistant part we produce comes from an environment where precision and precaution go hand-in-hand.   Commitment to Safe, Quality Manufacturing Our dedication to safety is integral to delivering dependable products. A secure plant is a productive one, dedicated to manufacturing excellence.→ Learn About Our Manufacturing Standards
