ENERGY FROM NEW FUELS

H.CEGIELSKI-POZNAŃ SA since its inception dealt with producing devices for producing energy. After the era of steam engines and diesel engines, it is time for alternative fuels. The company has developed a technique for extracting energy from palm oil. In 2009 he built and launched a cogeneration plant in Brake, Germany. Cogeneration system allowed for simultaneous production of electricity and useful heat. Mounting the engine in stationary power plants, used to generate electricity was already practiced in earlier works by H.CEGIELSKI-POZNAŃ SA This allowed the power to provide electricity to many Greek islands. Cegielski production generating sets are renowned for their reliability and performance.


In 2015, the company entered a new market of agricultural biogas plants. A team of specialists with H.CEGIELSKI-POZNAŃ SA has developed and implemented using innovative technology to generate energy from biomass. Biogas plant put into operation in Odrzechowa (province of Podkarpackie). Formed in the fermentation of biogas is used to drive the motor forming the source of mechanical energy is used to drive generator of cogeneration system. The power plant in Odrzechowa is 0.5 MW. The solution adopted by H.CEGIELSKI-POZNAŃ SA allowed the use of the digestate as an organic fertilizer, the disposal of organic waste and troublesome machinery. Biogas is a modern method of energy generation, fully ecological - zero balance of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. In the H.CEGIELSKI-POZNAŃ SA biogas system will be developed and proposed new investors.

1992

NEW PRODUCT - RADIAL AIR BLOWERS

The beginning of the 90s in H.CEGIELSKI-POZNAŃ SA - time news. Cegielski design team has developed and implemented innovative technology for the production of radial air blowers, allowing delivery of the air, wherever in the process it is necessary. Radial air blowers own design are widely used in many industries, including in sewage treatment plants, power engineering, chemical, textile, glass, paper, pharmaceuticals, gas, oil refining, mining or steel.

In the 90s the factory produced marine engines and propulsion units for stationary power plants. Powertrains H.CEGIELSKI-POZNAŃ SA were delivered to the shipyard and power plants all over the world.

1956

BUILDING HISTORY

The year 1956 was an extremely important time in the history of 170 years of history Cegielski factory. Then began the production of two-stroke marine engines under license from Sulzer Brothers Ltd. (now Wӓrtsilӓ). Starting diesel factory, medium speed engines to power generating sets, locomotives and ships was a small celebration for the entire plant. After production of locomotives and closing chapter of the steam engine in the H.CEGIELSKI-POZNAŃ SA opened new pages of history of the company, in the form of diesel-powered engines. In 1959 he started producing engines under license from the Danish company Burmeister and Wain (now MAN Diesel & Turbo). In 5 years later opened a factory engaged in equipment fuel to the engines. For the next 50 years Cegielski producing technologically advanced engines, which allowed the company to build a worldwide reputation. Brand HCP has become global. Engines produced in Poznan after attempts efficiency waterway, train or the TIR-s, in parts, was moving on a long journey to the customers. 1956 years was important for another reason - then the employees of Cegielski (then named Zakłady im. Józefa Stalina) they began mass protest on the streets of Poznan. It was the Poznań June ... Staff at most manufacturing plants in the city, led by Cegielszczaki wanted to negotiate with the communist authorities the high standards of work and low wages. The authority said the introduction of troops onto the streets. Blood was shed. The uprising in Poznan in June claimed the lives of 5 workers Cegielski. About this date like occasional tables and a monument erected in 1981 in the city center. The point is that no one has forgotten that it is the Cegielski factory workers for the first time to reclaim their right to human dignity. In 1956, Poland began the struggle for freedom, recovered in 1989.

1930

CONQUEST OF WORLD MARKET

Time mid-twentieth century was a period of extensive production train, and technologically advanced machines used in the industry. Betting Cegielski before the Second World War, already in 1934 launched the production of internal combustion cars known as "torpedo-Lux". Railroad cars produced in the factory to the 60s. Housed in several halls of the factory was a huge production capacity, allowing for the implementation of state procurement. Produced wagons and locomotives were exported to many countries of the world.

In the years 1930 - 1940 in the Cegielski factory developed the production of boiler equipment and refrigerating machines delivered to the slaughterhouse, dairy, exhibition halls, restaurants, hospitals and breweries. Simultaneously developed impressive was the production of iron, hangars, radio towers and gas tanks. Betting Cegielski due to their products conquered world markets

1913

LOCOMOTIVES AND AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY

The twentieth century is the development of the factory. Extension of factories and launch another assembly hall, which is one of the few used the electric current allowed to offer customers the then agricultural machinery, boilers and Traction engine dedicated to the food industry. Cegielski workers and engineers already had extensive experience in the production of this type of device (the first Traction engine were produced in the factory in the last half of the nineteenth century). Flowed to the factory government procurement, production profile was changed so the train cars, sanitary, field kitchens and production in the form of a special production of shells to grenades and artillery shells. In Cegielski factories produced on a large scale railway wagons. Design office has developed projects of boiler equipment, chemical equipment, sugar and cooling, and of iron and castings.

In 1923, the company entered into with the Ministry of Railways a contract to provide steam locomotives in 1040. For 1958 in total left the Cegielski factory halls technologically advanced 2627 - at that time - steam-powered locomotives. Locomotives produced in Cegielski were prized for its reliability and high quality. They became a Polish export commodity. In the five years after the start of production of locomotives, factory halls have already left the coaches. On the tracks in the country and abroad were leaving so the whole warehouses, which began its life in Poznan Cegielski factories.

1860

GOLDEN TIME OF STEAM MACHINE

In the 14 years after the founding of the small shop  of Hipolit Cegielski factory in Poznan developed in a dynamic pace. From selling simple metal equipment, by their production Cegielski came to producing technologically advanced steam engines, which were previously reserved only for the few manufacturers from Western Europe. The Poznan factory already in 1860 began production of steam Traction engine with a capacity of 4 to 8 hp.


Hipolit Cegielski has launched a factory specializing in the production of equipment for distilleries, dairies and steam. In 1868 the founder of the company - Hipolit Cegielski died. He left heirs growing company, with a huge production potential. In 1869 the factory employed about 300 workers. After the death of Hipolit company led his friend Władysław Bentkowski after him - since 1880 the son of Hipolit, Stefan Cegielski, who called the plant "Fabryka Maszyn i Urządzeń Rolniczych H. Cegielski Poznań".

1855

FROM THE STORE TO THE FACTORY

It took 10 years to Hipolit Cegielski - transformation of a small shop in the factory. In 1855 he launched the first label machines and agricultural tools, producing over 100 types of machinery and equipment. Among them are m.in .: grinders, rippers, sowing, harvesting, threshing machines, treadmills, forage, and pumps. 

Cegielski company at that time changed the place of establishment. Expanding the offer meant that he had to keep up with the plant's production capabilities. In 1850 Hipolit Cegielski has launched a repair shop agricultural tools. Also began small-scale production of simple agricultural tools such as plows, listers and cars. In 5 years later, in 1855, at ul. Goat in Poznan, opened a factory of agricultural machines and tools. The bet offer appears 106 types of machines and tools. Among them disc plows (up to 17 varieties), grinders, rippers, skyscrapers, sowing, harvesting, threshing machines, treadmills, mills for cleaning of grain, forage and pumps. In 1859 the company moved to today's city center, on the street. Arms.

1846

BEGINNINGS OF TRADITION OF INNOVATION

Hipolit Cegielski in 1846 opened a shop called "Trade of Iron", in which you could buy hardware - from nails, padlocks, sickles, scythes to simple machinery.

Hipolit Cegielski figure inspires today. Born January 6, 1813 in a small village Ławki near Trzemeszno in his youth lost his mother, and his father went bankrupt - and in his biography researchers trace the strong motivation and self Hipolit Cegielskiego in adulthood. Hipolit became manufacturer in a time of intense scientific work and teaching career. He taught Polish language and ancient languages ​​- Greek and Latin. In 1846 he lost the ability to work as a teacher, school authorities refusing to inspect the houses of his disciples (then Poland was divided between the invaders). With the help of his friends launched a store in Poznan. It was the beginning of the tradition of innovation nurtured for years in plants H.CEGIELSKI-POZNAŃ SA.

In addition to successfully market the company founded by Hipplit, the founder gave socially. Eulogist was the idea of ​​positivism, grassroots work. He understood it as a necessity to initiate reconstruction and development through good work. He wanted to rebuild the Polish economy, promote economic patriotism. He understood that the work load of a patriotic general public brings benefits to modernize the state and society.

The ideas of the founder of the company - Hipolit Cegielski - are still valid. His vision of history comes full circle and allows for the continuation of initiated in 1846 the Polish tradition of innovation in H.CEGIELSKI-POZNAŃ SA.
