Jahan Foulad Gharb Company, in a valuable step towards realizing the Resistance Economy and reducing dependence on imports, successfully designed and manufactured the Hot Saw machine, relying on the capabilities of domestic experts. This important project was completed in less than two months, supported by the company’s Board of Directors and CEO, and in joint cooperation with the knowledge-based company, JAHAN SANAT KERMANSHAH known as JSK STEEL. This achievement is a clear symbol of industrial self-belief and successful reverse engineering in the country.
Objectives and Implementation Process
The manufacturing of this machine began with the goal of reducing production costs, localizing key equipment, and enhancing the productivity of production lines. The company’s technical team, utilizing up-to-date knowledge, comparative studies, and practical experience, fully executed all stages of design, parts manufacturing, and final assembly within the complex. This process guaranteed precise quality control and complete compliance of the machine with the steel industry’s needs.
The localized Hot Saw machine brings prominent advantages for the country’s steel industry:
✓Increased Production Efficiency: The addition of this machine to the production line has significantly increased the speed and accuracy of the cutting process, leading to a higher overall production capacity for the complex.
Significant Cost Reduction: The manufacturing cost of this machine is only a fraction of the price of similar imported samples. Furthermore, its repair and maintenance costs are drastically reduced due to the availability of domestic spare parts and indigenous technical know-how.
✓Superior Cutting Quality: The precise design of the cutting system and the use of optimized technologies have resulted in a very clean and high-quality cut. This has not only minimized waste but also considerably reduced the wear and tear on the saw blades.
✓Safety and Standards: Industrial safety principles and necessary standards were meticulously observed throughout all manufacturing stages. Following thorough inspections, the machine received certification from the company’s HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) Unit.
✓Foreign Exchange Savings and Self-Sufficiency: Success in localizing this machine, in addition to preventing the outflow of foreign currency, has paved the way for mass production and supply to other domestic steel companies and even future export, which can be a new and sustainable source of revenue for the complex.
Timeline and Final Achievement
The design and manufacturing project for the Hot Saw machine was completed in an exceptionally short period, namely less than two months. This achievement is the result of the commitment, synergy, and round-the-clock effort of the specialists and employees of Jahan Foulad Gharb.
Success in localizing the Hot Saw machine is not merely a technical accomplishment; rather, it is a symbol of national determination to realize the Resistance Economy and achieve sustainable development in Iran’s steel industry. This major move has opened new horizons for localizing other advanced equipment in the country and further consolidated Jahan Foulad Gharb’s position as a pioneer in industrial innovation.
