What is your company’s newest product or product series that stands out? What innovations does this product/series offer? Can you write about its features?
Our company’s latest product is the Crawling Wire Saw Machine, which distinguishes itself from traditional wire saw machines by eliminating the need for a crane for installation and the prior laying of tracks. It achieves mobility and cutting through the use of crawlers, thereby saving considerable manpower, resources, and energy. The inspiration behind designing this product stemmed from observing the arduous process that many workers undergo in the extraction of stone materials. The traditional method involves laboriously laying tracks and utilizing a crane to maneuver the machinery, which proves inconvenient. Our machine elegantly addresses and resolves these challenges. Within the entire stone machinery industry, we take pride in being one of the pioneering manufacturers that initiated the research and development of such innovative machinery.
