What Is Custom Machine Manufacturing? The Build-from-Scratch Process

What is custom (special-purpose) machine manufacturing, and how does the build-from-scratch process work? All stages from needs analysis to commissioning, and the points to watch.

Custom (special-purpose) machine manufacturing means solving a production need that a standard, off-the-shelf machine cannot meet with a machine designed and built from scratch. This is exactly İntiba Mühendislik’s core business.

Every custom machine starts with a problem: speeding up a line, automating a task or producing a product that is not available on the market. The solution emerges from engineering, manufacturing and automation working together.

The Custom Machine Manufacturing Process

1. Needs Analysis: The production target, capacity, product type and site conditions are defined.
2. Design (3D): Mechanical design and engineering calculations are carried out, and a 3D solid model is created.
3. Manufacturing: The machine's parts are produced in the workshop, with dimensions and quality checked at every stage.
4. Assembly: Mechanical and electrical/automation (PLC) assembly is completed.
5. Testing and Commissioning: Functional tests are performed, the machine is commissioned on site and operator training is provided.

Which Machines Do We Build?

• Food production lines (hard candy, lollipop and confectionery machines)
• Filling and packaging machines
• Weighing, inspection and test units
• Conveying and feeding automation

Every need that a standard machine cannot solve is the starting point of a custom machine project.

What to Watch for in a Custom Machine

A good custom machine is not just one that works, but one that is long-lasting, easy to maintain and safe. That is why material selection, compliance with standards (CE, ISO 9001) and after-sales support are critical.
