Khan Engineering (CEO Sanglim Kim) participated in the ’23rd International Shipbuilding and Marine Industry Exhibition (KORMARINE 2023)’ held at BEXCO in Busan for 4 days from Tuesday, October 24th to Friday, 27th.
Khan Engineering, a company specializing in marine engine bellows established in 2017 and certified as a root company in March of this year, is located in Ulsan, a city of shipbuilding, and mainly develops and mass-produces shipbuilding equipment.
In addition, we are producing various types of products by applying and fusing glass fiber, carbon fiber, and sound-absorbing and insulating materials, which are highly functional composite materials that can be applied in various industries. In addition, in line with the Industry 4.0 trend, we are expanding our business area by developing, producing, and handling Fitness Tracking Devices with AIoT technology.
The main product presented at this exhibition is bellows for large engine test runs (shop tests) for ships. It is made of 3 layers by adding 1 layer of ceramic coating to 2 layers of fiber glass cloth, so it is resistant to corrosion, has excellent heat resistance, and is harmless to the human body. It is economical as it is highly durable and can be used for more than a year, taking 5 hours each from stage 1 to stage 5 of a 6-cylinder marine engine test run.
An official from Khan Engineering said, “We use prepreg in the form of a sheet in which the matrix is pre-impregnated with reinforcing fiber, and we apply a high-performance composite material that is stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum to create a high-performance bellows. “I developed it,” he said, expressing confidence in the material.
Kahn Engineering’s bellows, made of high-performance composite materials, can withstand high temperatures of over 300℃ and have excellent corrosion resistance against exhaust gases such as Nox and Sox generated during ship engine trials. It has succeeded in reducing the weight of the product by being a lightweight product of 50kg while withstanding pressure of 3Bar on a regular basis and 5Bar of high pressure occurring momentarily.
Kim Sang-rim, CEO of Kahn Engineering, said of his future plans, saying, “It is currently being installed and operated by Hyundai Heavy Industries, our major partner, and we are preparing to manufacture and deliver it not only for ship engines but also for power plant turbines.”
Meanwhile, KORMARINE 2023, presented by Busan City, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Plant Association, Korea Shipbuilding & Marine Equipment Industry Cooperative, Lead K Faires Co., Ltd., and BEXCO, will focus on domestic and overseas shipbuilding, offshore plants, and marine energy. showed off cutting-edge equipment and new technologies.
