The Forestry Equipment Factory located in Ryokpho District, Pyongyang, is making and supplying a variety of quality products to tree nurseries across the country.
“Now that the variety of products of our factory has increased over 2.5 times as against its initial days, it has fulfilled the first half-yearly plan for this year by introducing significant technical innovation plans into production,” said Won Myong Su, senior engineer.
The factory succeeded in domestic production of plastic additives, which take a lion’s share in production, in keeping with the realities of the country, with the result that it improved the stability and durability of products under the sunlight and ensured the light and soil humidity favourable for the growth of saplings and the germination and normal development of seeds. This opened up a prospect of markedly enhancing the quality of products while drastically reducing the production costs against the previous period by making use of plastic waste.
It also produced black plastic, which had been imported in the past, with locally-available raw materials, established production lines, and developed and introduced into production a computer-based automatic light transmission measuring instrument and an automatic non-woven fabric size measuring instrument in cooperation with a unit concerned.
Its technicians have set up new lines of producing a plastic flowerpot and blinds with functional colour plastic. The products fully ensure not only the germination and normal development of tree seeds but also the growth conditions of saplings planted by cuttings. As a result, the production costs decreased by 20% while durability doubled and the tensile strength of products increased up to 1.2 times.
They have recently developed new container moulds of saplings, vegetable seedlings and rice seedlings and succeeded in experimental production.
