From the project initiation at the Saudi headquarters to the stable mass production at the Egyptian factory, in three years, DeKomo has built a pipeline for a well-known pipe company in the Middle East
HDPEMaterial production has not only withstood the high temperature test of workshops above 45 ℃ in North Africa, but also achieved a 30% increase in production capacity, becoming a solid foundation for customers to explore the North African market.
Project Background
Anchor the North African market and seek reliable production capacity support
Three years ago, when a well-known Saudi pipe company decided to build a factory in Egypt and expand into the entire North African market, they faced a crucial decision: who could provide an HD that could withstand extreme environments and produce quickly
PE pipeMaterial production?
The infrastructure market in North Africa is rapidly growing, and we must quickly implement production capacity in order to seize the opportunity, "said the Director of Customer Supply Chain Management during the initial communication of the project." Some of the domestically produced equipment we used before did not meet expectations in terms of production capacity and stability, and the trial and error costs of building overseas factories were too high
The person in charge of the DeKomo project responded on the spot, "These are precisely the core points that we are most concerned about when doing overseas projects. Equipment must be durable, delivery must be implemented, and follow-up services must keep up. We are not only selling equipment, but also ensuring the stable operation of this production line
After multiple rounds of technical docking and scheme verification, Dekemo finally took over this trust and undertook the overall supply of HDPE pipe extrusion production line for the project, providing customized technical solutions and full process turnkey services to safeguard the customer's overseas layout.
Project Challenge
Triple reality challenges hinder the path of overseas production
Building a factory overseas has never been a simple matter of equipment transportation. The three real problems of production capacity constraints, extreme working conditions, and insufficient localization support have posed numerous challenges to the project from its inception.
Challenge 1: Capacity bottleneck, restricting market expansion
The project is led by the procurement manager and the director of the supply chain management department of the Saudi group company. The customer has previously used some domestic brand equipment and generally has a problem of low production capacity, which cannot match their market expansion goals. The demand for capacity improvement and cost constraints have become the first challenge for project progress.
Challenge 2: Extreme high temperature exceeding 45 ℃, compression equipment lifespan
The outdoor temperature in North Africa exceeds 40 ℃ in summer, and the perceived temperature in enclosed workshops exceeds 45 ℃. Continuous high temperature can easily accelerate the aging of transmission components and the failure of electrical components. Ordinary equipment frequently malfunctions in this environment, directly affecting production continuity and equipment service life.
At the technical briefing, the on-site operation and maintenance supervisor of the customer bluntly stated, "The previous equipment frequently had problems in the summer, such as alarms in the electrical control cabinet and high oil temperature in the gearbox. One shutdown for maintenance would delay production for half a day
Dekemo's technical engineer feedback: "We have a mature response plan for this working condition. The local summer continues to be hot, and relying on ordinary heat dissipation is definitely not enough. The core transmission and electronic control parts must be specially protected to stabilize the long-term operation failure rate
Challenge 3: Weak industrial foundation, raising the threshold for landing
The local industrial support and technical talent reserve in Egypt are limited, and on-site operators lack experience in operating high-end extrusion equipment. What customers need is not just hardware equipment, but a complete solution that can be quickly implemented and put into production, eliminating technical barriers to overseas factory construction.
Solution
Transforming 'customer pain points' into' technical punctuation '
Based on the core demands of customers for stable operation for 3-5 years, meeting production capacity standards, and adapting to high temperature conditions, Dekemo has provided an integrated solution from three dimensions: equipment customization, working condition protection, and on-site services.
Customized screw structure optimization, single line production capacity efficiency increased by 30%
In response to customer expansion needs, Dekemo matches and adapts machine models, optimizes customized screw structures, and achieves a 30% increase in overall production capacity within the existing budget framework, ensuring the stability of pipe extrusion and the qualification rate of finished products, meeting the production requirements of 250-630mm HDPE pipes.
Complete high-temperature protection design, with a 50% increase in cooling effect
In response to the protection requirements for high-temperature working conditions, the extruder gearbox is equipped with a reinforced oil pump motor and adopts a circulating cooling scheme, which improves the cooling effect by 50% compared to ordinary heat exchangers; At the same time, industrial grade air conditioning is installed on the equipment cabinet to maintain a constant internal temperature of 27-29 ℃, effectively extending the service life of key electrical components and ensuring long-term continuous and stable operation of the equipment.
Full process turnkey service, reducing the difficulty of overseas production
At the delivery and implementation level, DeKomo leverages the core value of its turnkey service system to provide one-stop services for the entire process from project initiation to final delivery, covering equipment installation layout planning, water and electricity installation, on-site debugging, and operator training, ensuring that the production line can directly enter the production state.
The complete turnkey solution completely eliminates customers' worries about equipment activation, systematically conveying mature production and operation experience to customers, helping them quickly achieve mass production in their factories, and reducing the time and trial and error costs of independent exploration.
Value effectiveness
Stable production line for three years, with a 30% increase in production capacity
The value of equipment ultimately depends on long-term operational performance to verify. Since the delivery of the equipment, the production line has been running smoothly for three years, with overall stable operation and reliable performance, fully meeting the production and operation needs of customers in the local market.
For customers, the value brought by this production line is multidimensional:
30% increase in production capacity to strengthen market expansion confidence
The production line has achieved a 30% increase in capacity, and a single line can support core orders in North Africa without the need for additional equipment investment, saving factory, labor, and procurement costs. Relying on stable output capacity, the client has successfully undertaken multiple key pipe projects in Egypt, significantly enhancing regional market competitiveness.
The lifespan of the equipment has been significantly extended, and the operation and maintenance costs have been significantly reduced
The high-temperature protection scheme effectively reduces the equipment failure rate and operation and maintenance costs in extreme environments, and achieves longer equipment service life and higher investment return under strict budget constraints; In the summer, the temperature in the workshop is over 40 degrees, and the equipment still runs steadily. We never dared to imagine this before, "the customer's factory manager commented during a follow-up visit.
Quick landing and production, seizing market opportunities
The complete turnkey delivery model has helped the project to be put into operation earlier than originally planned, seizing the growth window of the North African infrastructure market, completing localized production capacity layout, and laying a solid foundation for customers to further cultivate the North African market.
The successful landing of this Egypt project is another practical verification of the reliability, stability, and overseas delivery capabilities of DeKomo equipment.
