Research Institute

Introduction of Technical Research Institute

The technical research institute was launch in 1968 with the foundation of Kyungwon Machinery. It successfully developed the first domestic reciprocating compressor in 1969, By developing the first screw airend, a core part of the screw compressor, through technical affiliation with SRM of Sweden in 1986, the institute introduced a completely domestic screw compressor for the first time.

As Kyungwon Machinery was split off from Century as a professional air compressor company in 2001, the institute was developed. into an annexed. research institute of Kyungwon Machinery that possesses research personnel corresponding to 159, of overall members, In 2004, the Institute succeeded in development and commercialization of the third oil-free scroll airend in the world, first in the nation.

Research activities of the institute were continue., and the institute independently developed rotor profile, a source technology of screw compressor, in 2008 to obtain domestic and overseas patents for the latest 5th generation “a” profile. This allows. COAIRE Machinery to become a leader of domestic air compressor industry, both in name and reality.

Technical research institute of Kyungwon Machinery is ceaselessly conducting research and development to secure core technologies to Iead the future compressor market, It pursues perfect product development using 5-step quality verification system including analysis of product needs, development, design, manufacture and testing.
