Russian term

технологическое оборудование

Russian to English Other Manufacturing
Can this be translated as EITHER technological equipment OR production equipment? I am presuming the latter has a broader meaning than the former.

Discussion

Ella Mykhailova Jan 13, 2010:
So the variant "manufacturing equipment" seems to be the closest equivalent to me.
Ella Mykhailova Jan 13, 2010:
For reference: PROCESS EQUIPMENT: (Sometimes referred to as processing equipment) as referred to for membership in the Process Equipment Manufacturers' Association shall mean the equipment required when using physical or chemical methods for mechanical and/or thermal treatment or processing of a raw material or product. Primary examples of process equipment are agitators, mixers, the many types of crushing, grinding and screen equipment, vacuum and pressure filters, centrifuges, furnaces, kilns, dryers, sedimentation and classification devices. Included are all the principal equipment required for water conditioning, treatment of industrial and municipal wastes, metallurgical processing, pulp and paper production, food processing, production of petro-chemicals and other similar processing operations. Also included is equipment offered by a manufacturer who engineers and supplies systems related to and used in conjunction with primary process equipment. Specifically excluded from the definition of "process equipment" are products such as pumps, valves, piping, instrumentation and motors.
Michael Tovbin Jan 12, 2008:
Can't argue with an encyclopedia. Therefore, process equipment is equipment implementing such PROCESS (not processing) or method, i. e. relevant to the manufacture of the primary product only.
Dorene Cornwell Jan 12, 2008:
In other words, the translation of this phrase depends completely on context.

Технология
"Российский Энциклопедический словарь"

техноло́гия (от греч. téchnē — искусство, мастерство, умение и ...логия), совокупность приёмов и способов получения, обработки или переработки сырья, материалов, полуфабрикатов или изделий, осуществляемых в различных отраслях промышленности, в строительстве и т. п.; научная дисциплина, разрабатывающая и совершенствующая такие приёмы и способы. Технологией (или технологическими процессами) называют также сами операции добычи, обработки, переработки, транспортирования, складирования, хранения, которые являются основной составной частью производственного процесса. В состав современной технологии включается и технический контроль производства. Технологией принято также называть описание производственных процессов, инструкции по их выполнению, технологические правила, требования, карты, графики и др.

Alex Bezuglyy Jan 12, 2008:
технологическое оборудование - это то, которое включено в конкретную технологическую цепочку (линию производства),а пример с токарным станком - глупость
Alex Bezuglyy Jan 12, 2008:
ABBY Lingvo: processing 1) обработка 2) технология 3) обработка собранных данных 4) окончательная переработка ( в полуфабрикат )
processing line технологическая линия Syn: manufacturing line
Michael Tovbin, обрати внимание.
Igor Blinov Jan 12, 2008:
Examples of such equipment ft power plant are following: fuel storage, boiler, turbine, generator, process piping, field instrumentation, switchgear, transformers - scarcely it can be called as "manufacturing equipment"
Enote Jan 12, 2008:
технологическое оборудование вовсе не обязательно производит штучную продукцию, оно может перерабатывать нефть в нефтепродукты, может коммутировать соединения у оператора связи и т.п.

Process equipment is equipment that is used to manufacture the primary product or series of products made by a manufacturing facility. If a lathe is used to repair such primary equipment, it is NOT part of such primary process equipment since it is not used in the manufacture of the primary product.
Note from asker:
Thanks. So is it only equipment that is used to produce things? I don't quite understand your comment: токарный станок - тоже manufacturing equipment, но, если он стоит в механической мастерской и к основному производству не относится, то является вспомогательным, а не технологическим, оборудованием. What equipment would come under the 'tekhnologicheskoe' category? I am not sure what the distinction is.

disagree Ella Mykhailova : IMHO, "process equipment" may be ambiguous as it can be perceived as both manufacturing and processing (перерабатывающее) equipment, so it's safer to translate it as "manufacturing/production equipment".

Hi Emily :) I suppose "technical" is good enough.

Emily, I would translate it as "technological equipment", but not "technical" or "production". These are quite different things.
