Officials at Spin Zar company in Kunduz state that technical employees have doubled the company's hourly sesame oil production by constructing a special device.
Shahabuddin Hassanzada, the technical manager at Spin Zar Kunduz, said the company previously operated four Chinese sesame pressing machines that processed 120 to 150 kilograms of sesame per hour combined.
Hassanzada explained that technical staff, using continuous efforts and limited resources, built a new sesame pressing machine base at the factory. This innovation has doubled the facility's production capacity per hour.
Sesame oil enjoys particular popularity and appeal in the country. Spin Zar Kunduz's output meets local demand in Kunduz province and is exported to other provinces.
