Steam fittings and spare parts for the Daegu dyeing complex
A trap blowing through costs you steam every day and nobody hears it, so it is not a spare part — it is a standing bill. A survey round produces a dozen of them; on shukchok they go into one basket.
What a shared steam rail means
Three figures before the first position
- steam delivered to the dye works by the shared CHP plant, in operation since 1987
- 390 t/h
- Daegu Dyeing Industrial Complex, Seo-gu, established 1981; described as the largest specialised dyeing industrial estate in the world
- area of the complex, with a shared effluent plant handling 85,000 t a day
- 817,400 m²
- Encyclopedia of Korean Culture
- textile share of Daegu’s value added in 2023, down from 35.0 % in 1999
- 8.4 %
- Referenced from the Daegu Chamber of Commerce. A maintenance market rather than a growth market — for a spare parts business that is not a disadvantage
Your rhythm on the rail
The most expensive loss in this circuit is the one you cannot hear
Concentrate roughly a hundred dyeing operations on one site, hang them all off one central steam supply, and steam stops being an auxiliary medium. It is the process, it is the largest line in the energy bill, and every metre of header is a place where it can be lost.
A trap that fails either blows live steam through — expensive and completely inaudible — or dams condensate, which brings water hammer and erosion. Replacement happens after a survey, which means a dozen positions at once rather than one part at a time.
That order shape is the practical argument for shukchok — an open marketplace for industrial goods where every position shows its price without a login. A replacement list can be priced before anyone opens a procurement process, and full-text search reaches the SKU straight off the plant’s own list.
- Price and specification table on all 114 articles, without a login
- Several manufacturers in one basket, one ordering process, one payment
- Purchase order number and cost centre as fields in the basket, both on the invoice
The complex in figures
Every entry with the date it belongs to
Several of these are decades old and describe the order of magnitude rather than today.
| Item | Value | As at |
|---|---|---|
| Area of the complex | 817,400 m² | Established 1981 |
| Registered businesses | 113 | 1997 |
| Employees | 9,766 | 1997 |
| Shared effluent treatment | 85,000 t per day | Current description |
| Steam from the shared CHP plant | 390 t per hour | In operation since 1987 |
| Steam price, day rate | 46,000 won per tonne | September to December 2025 |
| Steam price, night rate | 23,000 won per tonne | September to December 2025 |
| Textile share of value added | 8.4 %, down from 35.0 % | 2023, against 1999 |
For manufacturers and distributors
A hundred businesses on one rail are a market, not a leftover
The steam price cut for the last four months of 2025 — to 46,000 won a tonne by day and 23,000 by night — shows how hard this sector is being squeezed, and plants that are not being replaced are plants that have to be kept running. That is a standing demand for traps, pressure reducers, angle seat valves and heating coils.
In that circuit this catalogue currently carries one position per design. For a steam rail with a hundred businesses on it that is not a range, it is an open shelf — and the invitation to every maker of steam fittings to fill it. Listing is free of charge, with no monthly fee and no manual product approval; you keep your prices, and a margin falls due once a position sells.
- Your range goes online without waiting for a release
- Manufacturer and supplier are named visibly at every position
- Checkout and payment handling run through us
