Safmak

What Safmak does

Safmak (legal entity SAF-MAK A.Ş.) is a privately held Turkish industrial-automation and mechanical-engineering company founded in 1983 (with predecessor SAF-YEM dating to 1978), headquartered in an 8,000+ m² facility in Gebze, Dilovası, of which 2,000 m² is dedicated to manufacturing. The company designs, manufactures, and commissions custom-engineered systems for raw-material handling in industrial plants, organized into four core product lines: pneumatic transport systems (dense phase, dilute phase, and vacuum); continuous and batch dosing systems (weigh belt feeders, loss-in-weight feeders, solid and liquid batch dosing, and micro dosing at 0.1–20 kg ranges); powder filling and discharge equipment (big-bag and bag filling/unloading machines); and liquid filling systems (can, drum, and TÜBİTAK-funded automatic quadruple drum filling for hazardous liquids). Supporting products include rotary valves, silo activators, screw conveyors, directional flaps, bag dump stations, and lump breakers.

Underlying technology is built on Siemens automation — S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and PCS7 PLCs, SIMATIC HMI panels, SIWAREX weighing modules, and WinCC/SCADA software — combined with proprietary mechanical designs and an on-site 70m pneumatic transport test line. SAF-MAK operates as part of SAFER GRUP (formed 2001) alongside E.O.C. (electronics and automation) and Ergin Elektrik (electrical), enabling fully in-house mechanical-electrical-electronic turnkey delivery. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and an officially authorized Siemens Solution Partner.

SAF-MAK generates revenue through custom-engineered equipment sales, turnkey system integration (project management, design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, training), and post-sale support (maintenance, calibration, spare parts). All pricing is project-based and quote-driven, with multi-year contract cadence. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting 13+ industry verticals — plastics, rubber, glass/ceramic, chemicals, food, mineral/mining, iron/steel, construction, detergent, wood, automotive, recycling, and white goods — with a domestic Turkey base and exports to approximately 20 countries across EMEA, APAC, and LATAM, anchored by named enterprise customers including Şişecam, Ülker, Henkel, Unilever, Colgate-Palmolive, Arçelik, Akkim, Hakan Plastik, Aktaş, and Tüprağ Metal Madencilik.

Products and services

• Pneumatic Transport Systems Systems using air pressure to transport powder and granular bulk materials from source to destination. Includes dense phase, dilute phase, and vacuum transport systems for industrial applications across plastics, rubber, glass, chemicals, food, and other sectors.
• Dense Phase Pneumatic Transport Systems Low-speed, high-pressure systems for transporting powders or granular materials through pipelines. Designed for segregating, abrasive, fragile, high-density, and hygroscopic materials using pressure vessels, valves, and specialized Ni-Hard or Basalt elbows to minimize wear.
• Dilute Phase Pneumatic Transport Systems High-speed, low-pressure systems using positive displacement blowers for transporting non-abrasive, non-fragile, low-density powders and granular materials.
• Vacuum Transport Systems Negative pressure systems for extracting materials from multiple points to a single line, suitable for open-top silos and hazardous/toxic materials handling.
• Continuous Dosing Systems Continuous dosing equipment for detergent, glass, and MDF production facilities where material flow through the machine is continuously weighed and flow rate is adjusted via speed control.
• Dosing Weigh Belt Feeders Belt-based continuous weighing systems using load cells and speed measurement to achieve +/- 1% accuracy across capacities of 1-300 tonnes, controlled by Siemens PLCs.
• Loss In Weight Feeders Closed-system continuous feeders combining weight controllers with high-precision screw feeders for hot and difficult materials at low feed rates, preventing material accumulation and dust interference.
• Batch Dosing Systems Batch (discrete) dosing systems where raw materials are weighed on a scale and then sent to destination, used in plastic and rubber production facilities with solid and liquid variants.
• Solid Batch Dosing Systems Systems using screw conveyors, belt conveyors, or vibratory equipment for recipe-based dosing of powders, granules, and bulk materials to mixers, reactors, or bunkers.
