OREANDA-NEWS. February 08, 2011. The Keyik private enterprise run by an entrepreneur Kurbanmuhammet Mamedov delivered its first products to consumers, including the Ruhubelent Joint Association and private enterprises producing tinned goods. Deliveries started a day after the opening ceremony.

This fact gave occasion to know about the new enterprise better.

Kurbanmuhammet Mamedov known there as Kurban aga greeted us at the entrance and suggested going to the workshop producing new jars, bottles, vials and other types of glass products, where a glass-melting furnace and three conveyor lines were installed.

“Glass is boiled at 1,5000C,” said the entrepreneur. “By means of various additives the glass mass is clarified, decontaminated and carefully mixed to achieve smoothness and appropriate viscosity”.

“From the furnace liquid glass is supplied to the glass-forming machine. And this process is seemed to be fabulous. As if from nowhere a drop of liquid glass, like a lightning, is supplied to a rough form of a glass-forming machine blowing the filler and blank. After supplying a blank into the form, a product is shaped and is supplied to the conveyer. Molding equipment is prepared for receiving a new drop of liquid glass”.

“Visual quality control and sorting of products are also held there. Then finished products are packed into pallets and transported to warehouse. As is known, the total value of the enterprise is over US\\$ 8 million. This amount included the preferential credit provided under of the private sector development programme.”

Talking about the enterprise and production process, Kurban aga noted that all equipment of the company including advanced technologies was brought from China, and Chinese experts, who visited Turkmenistan on the entrepreneur’s invitation, delivered specialized trainings for Turkmen counterparts that allowed ensuring the highest quality of products. Rejected products are supplied to the pipe, which delivers it to the special place, where glass will be mixed with charge and recycled.
There are two case-making machines in the shop.

While we were making an excursion round the new plant, the trucks loaded with finished products moved off from the warehouse gates. It means that ketchup and juices, mayonnaise and canned vegetables in glass containers produced at the Keyik plant will appear on our tables soon.
Kurban aga noted that they were planning to open a brand-name shop, where everyone could buy glass containers produced at the Keyik enterprise. And today the enterprise produces glass containers of over 20 kinds and over 60 forms and sizes that allows meeting a domestic market demand and planning to export products.
