Founded in 1947 as Merkez Dökümhane, IMT is a company that produces tractors and agricultural machinery at the same time. Its headquarters is in Serbia. As HARS Traktör A.Ş, we produce engine parts for this brand in our factory.
IMT was established in 1947 as the Merkez Dökümhane. However, in 1949, the Merkez Dökümhane and four local companies merged to form a new company called the Metal Institute. In 1954, it took the name of Machinery and Tractor Industry (IMT), which is used today.
In 1965, it started the production of the tractor of its own design. In 1988, with 42,000 tractors and 35,000 machines, IMT realized the largest annual production in history.
Due to the changing economic conditions between 1990 and 2000, it became necessary to make significant changes in production. During this period, a long-term cooperation was signed with the Perkins company. In 2005, the first motors conforming to EU 2000/25/EC standards were produced.
A new S-Class was introduced in 2012. In addition, in this period, new generation tractors were introduced to the market by IMT with purchasing power.
It stopped production in August 2015 and was acquired by the Indian manufacturing company TAFE in April 2018.
The most popular of IMT tractors are IMT 533 and IMT 539. These tractors have become popular in Yugoslavia due to their reliability, ease of use and high maneuverability.
The 5200 – 5500 models were among the ten largest tractors on the world market in the 1980s and 1990s. The features of this series are as follows:
Engine parts for IMT brand are produced in our factory.
Engines are systems that convert electricity, gasoline, diesel and also LPG energy materials into mechanical energy.
They enable the vehicle to move by converting energy materials into motion energy.
Engines come in three types. These are:
Electric Engines: These are motors that do not contain mechanical parts. They convert electromagnetic energy directly into motion energy. They are engines consisting of two main components. These components are:
External Combustion Engines: The fuel used burns outside the engine. After the fuel is burned, the energy generated is transmitted to a different fluid. Then this fluid heats up and energy of motion is obtained.
Internal combustion engines: These engines were developed by Christiaan Huygens and his assistant Denis Papin in 1673. Electric ignited and water cooled motors were developed by Etienne Lenoir in 1860.
Internal combustion engines have systems that use a mixture of air and fuel. This mixture is ignited in the fuel chamber. As a result of this ignition, motion energy is formed. Internal combustion engines have two different designs. These are:
