Korea’s January Exports

February 21, 2025 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

Korea’s January Exports Decreased by Over 10%
Semiconductor exports continued to perform well, achieving over US$10 billion for nine consecutive months.

Due to the early Lunar New Year holiday and other factors, Korea’s January exports decreased by more than 10%, and the 15-month consecutive ‘export plus’ streak came to a halt.
The main product, semiconductor exports, continued to perform well, achieving over $10 billion for nine consecutive months, but automobile exports, which were largely affected by the decrease in operating days, fell by nearly 20%.

The January export amount totaled $49.12 billion, down 10.3% from the same month last year.
Korea’s exports turned positive in October 2023 compared to the same month the previous year, and continued to record positive growth for 15 consecutive months until December last year, but this positive trend ceased in January 2025.
Looking at the trends of the 15 main export items, excluding the two items that are the largest export items, namely, semiconductors and computers, exports of 13 items decreased compared to last year. However, based on the daily average exports, the exports of 10 items increased.
Semiconductor exports in January increased by 8.1% from last year to $10.1 billion, recording the second highest January performance after 2022 ($10.8 billion).
Semiconductor exports recorded more than $10 billion for nine consecutive months, continuing the year-on-year export plus trend for 15 consecutive months.
Despite the seasonal decrease in demand for information technology (IT) products and the decline in general memory prices, the semiconductor export boom continued as demand for high value-added memory products such as high bandwidth memory (HBM) and DDR5 remained strong due to the artificial intelligence (AI) craze.
Computer item exports, including solid state drives (SSDs), also increased by 14.8% to $800 million, continuing their 13th consecutive month of growth.
Automobile exports, the second largest export item, decreased by 19.6% to $5 billion. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) analyzed that the decrease in the number of operating days was greater than that of other industries as automakers including Hyundai Motors and parts manufacturers designated Friday following the Lunar New Year holiday as an additional holiday.
Amid the global electric vehicle (EV) chasm (temporary stagnation in demand), EV exports decreased by 50.3%, while internal combustion engine vehicle exports also decreased by 20.8%, but hybrid vehicle exports increased by 37.1%, continuing their steady growth. Auto parts exports also decreased by 17.2% to $1.57 billion.

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

[INQ. NO. 2502M19] ENTRA’s wheel washer is a machine applied to facilities that suppresses dust scattering for the improvement of the air environment.
This washer is based on a high-speed cleaning method by utilizing sensors to detect vehicles entering and departing. The evenly-arranged nozzles make it possible to perfectly and automatically clean wheels within the optimal time by simultaneously washing the sides, bottom, and tires of a vehicle.
All components are KS-certified to be used for and assembled into the washer. Particularly considering the fact that the machine is used in water, the main frame has sanding paints to prevent rust, and is also designed and manufactured to guarantee sufficient strength when being used.
It is possible to operate the machine in the optimal conditions at all times as it uses a high-performance water pump to automatically circulate washing water inside the tank, and an automatic water-supply device to supply the exact amount of consumed water.

DTW-241 washer provides a certain level of wheel-cleaning effect
The DTW-241 washer provides a certain level of wheel-cleaning effect at all times as it can keep the wheel-washing water cleaner by automatically discharging deposits to the outside, thanks to the built-in conveyor system that runs for 3~10 minutes after washing the wheels.
ENTRA’s wheel washer can be used not only for facilities that suppress dust scattering, but also for large-sized livestock and agricultural farms and food ingredient distribution industries when an appropriate ratio of infectious-disease preventive medicine and disinfectant is added into the water tank.

ENTRA was established in 1995 to conserve the environment, which is the root of life, under the principle of humans first. Since its founding, the company has been making substantial investments in R&D, and working hard to satisfy customers by improving the quality, equipped with the best workforce and obtaining ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.

Remote-Controlled Weeders

February 21, 2025 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2502M14] IRIS SPREADERS’ remote-controlled weeders are available in two models that can work from about 200m ahead and are manufactured in a tracked form so that they can work on slopes such as hills.
The small remote-controlled weeder (UR550) has a weeding width of 50cm and can work 400-500 pyeong per hour depending on work conditions, and is priced at KRW5 million.
The large remote-controlled weeder (UR1000) has a weeding width of 100cm and can work 800-1,000 pyeong per hour, and is priced at KRW12 million. In addition, this product not only saves manpower but also has the advantage of contributing to the prevention of safety accidents as it can work on hills of up to 40 degrees, and is environmentally friendly by preventing herbicide spraying.
The previous weeding machines were difficult to use for long periods of time due to their heavy weight (10kg) and fatigue caused by engine vibration. Also, there was a high risk of injury due to the blades, and stones being thrown at workers during weeding.

The company’s remote-controlled weeder has a low body height, allowing for smooth weeding under or between orchards, and in particular ― since there are no workers on board ― it has the advantage of being able to perform weeding without any concerns about safety accidents. It is mainly used for agricultural purposes such as orchards, but can also be safely used anywhere with weeds, such as on riverbanks, solar power plants, golf courses, and abandoned schools.
The remote-controlled weeder boasts excellent performance in terms of power and durability, as it is equipped with a Cola engine directly imported from the United States. In particular, it is convenient because the weeding height can be adjusted with a remote control, and it is efficient because it can be used for multiple purposes such as a weeding height check gauge, battery power cut-off device, remote control sprayer, and loading box attachment.
