The Pyongyang Timber Mill makes products, which are solid, convenient to use and good to see by making effective use of different by-products of production, thus contributing to reenergizing production.
In April 1958 President Kim Il Sung visited the factory and instructed that it should not use sawdust and wood shavings as fuel in boiler, but make chipboards with them. And he also noted that it should try to make more products without throwing pieces of wood at random and conduct research into making household articles by using pieces of wood.
“The factory established a regular system to gather such various wooden by-products as sawdust from processing timber in storehouse by using several means including ventilation device, select them for different uses there and make products with them as raw materials,” said Kim Song Chol, director of the industrial technology institute of the factory.
The mill makes various kinds of wooden boards with pieces of wood in different sizes from production and produces various sizes of disposable chopsticks. And it makes various kinds of fixture boards including wood-particle boards with sawdust and planing refuse.
The factory has directed efforts to modernizing equipment to improve the quality of its products.
In the course of acquainting themselves with the situations of several timber processing units and studying sci-tech data, the technicians of the factory set themselves a goal to make an automatic control painting machine and designed a new painting machine to suit its specific conditions. As a result, they overcame the defects of the old machine, which required much labour and failed to properly ensure the quality of painting, and markedly increased the productivity of products.
They also conducted research into raising the qualitative indexes of adhesives used in the production of plywood to make a new reactor for producing adhesives, thus reducing the environmental pollution effectively and raising productivity 1.2 times as compared to the old one.
Besides, it further improved the quality of products by modernizing many pieces of equipment including the wide grinding machine, whose grinding speed is higher than before, and the automatic edge tape tipping machine.
