Machine-building industry boosts production of custom-built equipment

September 12, 2026

The machine-building industry sector is speeding up the production of custom-built equipment.

The Taean Heavy Machine Complex is expanding its success.

The complex is efficiently pushing ahead with the consolidation of its material and technical foundations while simultaneously stepping up the establishment of a new production process of high-grade alloy steel and the technical upgrading of equipment.

The employees have overfulfilled their electric motor production plan by contriving an efficient jig for winding a larger quantity of insulators than before in a unit hour with less manpower.

The complex has newly established a well-regulated equipment management system and order for operating equipment at full capacity and concentrated efforts on improving the quality of products, thereby increasing the production of various kinds of gears needed for the maintenance and repair of thermal power generating facilities. 

The Ryongsong Machine Complex, a leading large-scale machine-building base, is boosting the production of custom-built equipment to be sent to metallurgical and chemical industries.

This year the complex produced dozens of pieces of custom-built equipment and parts of over ten kinds. It shortened the period of casting production by more than half as compared to previously and reduced per-unit material consumption by 15 percent.

In particular, it introduced a modelling technique based on a 3D sand printer to ensure the surface smoothness of castings at a high level and remarkably increase the actual yield as compared to previously. 

It is speeding up the assembly of an efficient five-spindle digital machining centre after finishing the processing of its parts in a short period, while expanding the success in making the precision manufacturing section of machine tools automated and intelligent.

The production of custom-built equipment for the coal industry is also in full swing.

The Taean Electrical Appliances Factory is increasing production in quality and quantity while qualitatively processing the rotor axes of electric motors and others by improving the performance of equipment and making an effective use of various jigs and equipment pieces.

The Ranam Coal-mining Machine Factory has successfully carried out its production assignments by dint of science and technology. In particular, it devised and introduced a plan for ensuring the safety of the 300hp winch brake system.

In addition, the Pyongyang Mining Machine Factory, the Anju Pump Factory and other units are notching up success in the production of custom-built equipment while taking practical measures to upgrade production processes and improve the quality and productivity of goods.
