Machine complex makes innovation in production of custom-built equipment
August 1, 2025The Taean Heavy Machine Complex is boosting production.
The complex successively produces major custom-built equipment to be greatly conducive to increased electricity production at power generation bases, production revitalization at building-materials industry bases and the improvement of Pyongyang citizens’ living standards.
The complex has made dynamic efforts to successfully carry out its production plan this year, too, on the basis of the successes and experience gained in the production of generating equipment and custom-built equipment last year.
Regarding science and technology as a basic guarantee for revitalizing production, the complex sees to it that production plans according to indexes are fulfilled through a brisk mass technical innovation drive in line with its highly set goal of technical development.
It deliberated on the technical innovation proposals presented by employees once a week and pushed ahead with the work to rapidly introduce valuable proposals into production.
In this course, it solved many sci-tech problems as it developed a spark punch to produce and supply various kinds of dies and installed a nonoxidizing annealing furnace to normalize the production of coil for generator.
The complex has also built up close connection and cooperation between sectors and processes to far-sightedly ensure the supply of raw and other materials, thus ensuring harmonious arrangement of works among all processes.
Steel casting, casting and forging workshops are producing and supplying various kinds of materials to production processes in time by doing preliminary repair of equipment and preparation for melting in an efficient way.
The pipe-making workshop of the complex has made achievements in the production of piping for custom-built equipment, including various kinds of facilities, by making the most of the existing production capacity through the introduction of efficient jigs and tools and the technical upgrading of equipment.
Employees in charge of the processing and assembly of parts for power generating equipment also made efficient jigs and tools to push ahead with the processing of technically complicated parts of the equipment as scheduled.
The complex has also assigned to all officials an exclusive duty of managing equipment and technology and grasps their work in detail every month for review and appraisal. This has led to many substantial achievements, including the turning of the spindle control devices of large lathes into numerically controlled ones and the making and installation of a new type of electric flatcar.
In the first half of this year, the complex carried out its monthly custom-built equipment production plans that were set 1.5 times higher than last year’s.
