A knowledge-based company has succeeded in manufacturing a machine that can simultaneously undertake milling and turning, and rival foreign counterparts.
“The machine has many applications in various industries,” Mohammad Hossein Amani, CEO of Mobtakeran Sanaat Rash Machine-Building Company, said, noting that the Computer Numerical Control milling and turning machine has six-axis.
The precise cutting machine, which has been patented, is controlled by a pre-programmed computer software that handles its tools functions, the news portal of Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology reported.
The eight-head CNC milling and turning machine is used in many industries, including wood, sculpture, statuary, modeling and molding, as well as masonry.
The foreign model of this device is made only for metals and are very expensive compared with the domestic model, so its use in the wood and stone industries is not affordable.
The high quality, much lower price and its ability to work on eight pieces simultaneously make the domestic product competitive.
Because of its large size and wide range of maneuvering, it has extensive applications in various fields.
After-sales service and low-cost repair are other advantages of this product compared to foreign models.
Currently, the company employs about 80 people directly, which will expand with the rise in production.
Noting that the idea of transforming companies to knowledge-based ones is commendable, Amani appreciated the support of the Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology in this regard.
“If the process of receiving facilities is made easier, more companies could benefit," he said.
High Efficiency Molding Machine
A domestic knowledge-based company has manufactured the rotational molding machine used in the production of plastic bottle caps needed by different industries.
The second-generation rotational molding machine produces all types and sizes of caps for carbonated soft drink and mineral water bottles.
Hossein Ebrahimpour, a member of the board of directors of Pars Machinery Company, noted that this machine is used for continuous molding and compression.
The machine produces premium quality plastic bottle caps by using polypropylene and polyethylene resin materials.
The domestically-built machine is fully automatic and has an efficiency higher than that of traditional counterparts, in addition to having low material consumption and time and energy savings. It is completely computer controlled and has excellent stability and durability.
Ebrahimpour explained that the production of this low-cost machine has prevented a large outflow of foreign currency and unnecessary imports.
Caps made by this machine have high precision, a smooth and beautiful appearance and without an injection point.
Compared to traditional counterparts, this machine’s threefold output and low waste are among its other advantages. It has a comparatively smaller size and requires fewer manpower.
In case of special requests by customers for printing signs and logos, it can be achieved with low cost.
Hydraulic rotary presses are specially designed for the production of thermoplastic products using compression. More than 45% of plastic beverage lids are produced by pressing and compression.
Most plastic bottle caps are manufactured through a process known as injection molding. In this process, thermoplastic polymer pellets are heated in a metal hopper to the point that they become soft and flexible.
Domestic Company Supplies Raw Materials to Pharmas
An Iranian knowledge-based company produces ingredients and fillers used by pharmaceutical companies to eliminate the need for imports.
By producing magnesium oxide and calcium carbonate that are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, Ehya Kimia-e-Shargh Knowledge-Based Company is helping Iranian producers meet domestic needs and enter the markets of neighboring countries.
Fillers are inactive substances used in pharmaceutical compounding to determine the size of finished products.
“These materials, after processing and formulation, become pharmaceutical raw materials. Magnesium oxide is used as a raw material for the production of magnesium hydroxide and magnesium stearate in the production of medicines,” Mosayyeb Jalali, the CEO of the company, said.
It’s the only company producing pharmaceutical-grade magnesium oxide in Iran. Its product has a standard and purity higher than the product’s USP (United States Pharmacopeia).
