https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

Ssangyong Motor Co., South Korean unit of India’s Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., is venturing into the Middle East by granting a local fi rm a license to assemble and ship its vehicles in Saudi Arabia from 2020.

Ssangyong Motor said recently that it signed a product licensing agreement with Saudi National Automobile Manufacturing Co. (SNAM) in February to allow the Saudi fi rm to manufacture its new premium pickup truck codenamed Q200 in the country starting 2020. SNAM plans to boost the annual capacity to 25,000 units later. Ssangyong Motor expects the latest deal would benefi t its Korean suppliers as the deal would involve an auto cluster for tier 1 auto part suppliers in Jubail, an industrial city in Saudi Arabia.

Ssangyong Motor previously posted record revenue of 3.63 trillion won ($3.2 billion) last year with a dramatic turnaround for the fi rst time in nine years, mainly driven by upbeat sales of its fl agship compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) Tivoli in Korea. The automaker, however, suff ers from a setback overseas due to a lack of demand in emerging markets such as Russia and tough competition from Chinese rivals.

Hyundai Heavy Industries manufactures 5,000 ship propellers in 31 years

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) has manufactured its 5,000th ship propeller after 31 years and six months since its fi rst production in August 1985.

HHI held a ceremony to mark the production of its 5,000th propeller measuring 10.6 meters in diameter and weighing 77 tons at its Ulsan headquarters on February 3. HHI explained that it took only 31 and a half years to manufacture 5,000 ship propellers, faster than its competitors in Germany and Japan that hav e been operating their businesses for 90 to 150 y ears.

HHI is the world’s top propeller manufacturer with a market share of 31% and produces over 200 propellers annually. It currently supplies its propellers to 34 shipyards worldwide.

HHI was able to reduce costs and time thanks to the process it developed in 2003, named the “Furan method.” “We are developing a new type of propeller made of composite materials that are 25% lighter and help improve sailing performance,” an HHI offi cial said. “We will continue to make eff orts to keep our standing in the global market with technology development and quality improvement.” The 5,000th propeller is scheduled to be installed on a 300,000 DWT crude carrier ordered from Thenamaris in Greece.

Regenerative blowers

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry[INQ. NO. 1703M16] Inha Electric’s regenerative blowers are low-pressure, high-volume blowers that generate centrifugal airflow. They are used in compression blowers, vacuum blowers, and industrial blower applications.
How do they work? Regenerative blowers draw air or other gases into the blower unit by impeller blades passing an inlet port. The impeller blades then accelerate the air in an outward and forward direction using centrifugal action. The air is turned back, or “regenerated” by the blower’s annular-shaped housing to the base of following blades, where it is again projected outward. Every “regeneration” imparts more pressure to the air.
When the air reaches a “stripper section” at the outlet, it is “stripped” from the impeller and expelled out of the blower. The stripper section is located between the inlet and the outlet where the annulus is reduced in size to fit closely to the sides and tips of the impeller blades.
Pressures generated by the one or two spinning, non-contacting, oil-free impellers are equal to those obtained by many larger multi-stage or positive displacement blowers.
Fewer moving parts reduce wear, tear, maintenance, and downtime to promote sustained blower reliability. Unlike competing technologies incorporating necessary sliding vanes, valves, and pistons, the only contacting moving parts inside a regenerative blower are two permanently sealed balls bearing assemblies.
