China's Air Compressor Industry Developing Characteristic Products

The year 2010 is the last year of the 11th Five-Year Plan. The Chinese economy has also entered a new year. Whether the impact of the financial crisis will recover in this year and whether the economy will recover, the answer remains unknown. The foundation for economic recovery is still unstable and we must not be blindly optimistic. The prospects of the international financial crisis are still relatively uncertain. The downward pressure on external demand remains high and may continue for a long time. Economic development still lacks internal motivation and vitality to deal with crises and overcome difficulties. The support of national policies for enterprises and The economic development also plays an important supporting role; due to the weakening of external demand, the contradiction between overcapacity in some industries in the country is highlighted, and the rise in the growth rate of the industrial economy has become a major constraint.

In the past 2009, the economic growth rate in the second half of the year has risen quarter by quarter. According to statistics, there are nearly 400 enterprises above designated size in China's air-air compression machinery manufacturing industry. For the product structure of the industry in 2009, all companies have made further adjustments, and gas and air compressor output has increased month by month. The financial crisis has caused some enterprises to gradually lose their original product advantages, and technological innovation is the only way for the development of enterprises. This will certainly open a new chapter in the development of the air compressor industry. From all aspects of data analysis, the industry has resumed stable development and is accelerating the pace of development in order to achieve or surpass the target of the same period of previous years. Observing the development trend of the industry in the past year, each air compressor company has undergone major changes. Both the sales channels and the internal management of the company have been reformed. This is also the main reason for the rapid recovery of air compressor companies.

The company seeks to develop the road of specialty products. Looking at the development of major companies in the industry in the past year, we have sought to break through the key direction of “independent innovation and development of specialty products”.

At the beginning of 2009, the new product room of the Drum R&D Department found through market research that the assembled radial expansion machine is a standard configuration in the medium-temperature medium-pressure PTA and PIA (inter-terephthalic acid) process air compressors with a compact structure and efficiency. High, adapting to the expansion is relatively large, and it is convenient for the technical advantages of pumping gas and heating. It has a good market application prospect in the nitric acid process, phenol process, PTA high temperature and high pressure process. So Shen Drum, through cooperation with scientific research institutes, conducted a technical breakthrough on this project. The relevant technical personnel carried out a brand-new innovative design and reached the advanced technological level of similar foreign products. At the same time, on the basis of a large number of market research and technology research and development, the new product room of the Research and Development Department actively cooperated with the sales company to participate in market development. Through effective communication with users and design institutes, it successfully obtained the energy recovery of the PTA expansion and reconstruction project of Yanshan Petrochemical Co., Ltd. Process air compressor unit orders. In recent years, Shengu has obtained a series of major scientific research achievements in the development of large-scale high-end air compressor projects, which has contributed to the improvement of localization capability of the air compressor industry, and has also enabled Shengu to maintain a good development during the economic crisis. Situation and sales performance.

In order to enhance market competitiveness, in recent years, Wuxi Air Compressor Co., Ltd. has focused on the implementation of new product research and development, and has directly applied scientific and technological innovation to the new changes in product structure adjustment and economic growth. The company abandoned conventional products with low technological content and low added value, and increased investment in new products such as process hydrogen compressors, natural gas engines, centrifuges, and large and medium-sized screw machines with market competitiveness and high added value. In 2009, in addition to consolidating and expanding the market for competitive products such as process air compressors, natural gas air compressors, and fuel injection screw air compressors, the company took active measures to extend the research and development of various types of new products, further expanding new product categories and sales space. At present, the 27 key new product development projects approved by the Division this year have all been put into operation. Some of these new products have been successfully brought to market, and the quality of the company's economic operation has been improved.

Energy conservation and environmental protection have become a corporate consensus “We have developed and tested after five years, and we have successfully developed a single-screw air compressor with no oil and water lubrication, breaking the long-term monopoly of foreign brands, and becoming another benchmark for 'Shunde'.” Guangdong Zhengli Precision According to an interview conducted by Dai Jiaman, head of the operation and management department of Machinery Co., Ltd., in an interview. Guangdong Zhengli relied on the independent core technology authorized by the multinational invention patents, and developed the “oil-free water-lubricated single-screw air compressor”, which relied on the salient features of “environmental protection, high efficiency, and low-cost operation” to rewrite the water-lubricated single-screw air compressor in one stroke. Machine foreign brand monopoly pattern. “After our products came out, the company’s customers came to the door after learning about the project information. Many of them were customers in new areas.” The head of the Seiko R&D Center pointed out that this phenomenon has made the company’s researchers very excited. At the same time, it also reflects that domestic companies are more innovative and aware of energy conservation and environmental protection. Currently, energy-saving and environmental-friendly products are not only popular in Europe and the United States, but also have become the consensus of domestic companies and represent the future trend. Guangdong Zhengli Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. is a key high-tech enterprise of the State Torch Program specializing in the production of single-screw air air compressors in Shunde. Its first “three-wire contact” line and long-lived energy-saving single-screw air compressor invention patent and star roll The new technology of knife processing will increase the life of key components that will affect the service life of single-screw air compressor by 6 times. The single-screw air air compressor produced by this technology is 15% more energy-efficient than the general product and is currently the most energy-saving single screw air air compressor in the world. The core technology independently developed by Zheng Li has now obtained the invention patents of China, Japan, the United States, Britain, France and other countries.

In the industry, Guangdong Zhengli Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. has the awareness of developing energy-saving and environmentally-friendly products. In recent years, there have been a few companies that have been working hard to attack joints and environmental protection products. Kaishan Group not only continued its technological innovation, but also firmly grasped the key theme of energy conservation and environmental protection. Kaishan brand screw air compressor series products, from 7.5kW to 355kW, all reached the energy-saving evaluation value, in particular, there are three power segment products have reached the GB19153-2009 level 1 energy efficiency indicators.

In the electricity consumed by the factory, the power consumption of the air-air compressor accounts for about 25% of the overall power consumption of the plant. In terms of the overall operating cost of the air compressor, the electricity cost of the air-air compressor is more than 80% of the overall operating cost. . Therefore, research on energy-saving and environment-friendly air compressor projects, and the introduction of energy-saving products will inevitably become the key to improving the competitiveness of enterprises. In particular, the GB19153-2003 "Energy Efficiency Limit Value and Energy Conservation Evaluation Value of Positive Displacement Air Compressors" issued in 2003 was revised and upgraded to GB19153-2009 "Energy Efficiency Limit Values ​​and Energy Efficiency Ratings of Positive Volume Air Air Compressors". It has been officially implemented since December 1, 2009. Although the standard name has changed only a few words, the significance is very significant. Follow-up policies will be gradually introduced. The new standard puts forward higher requirements on the energy efficiency of air-air compressors: it has increased the original energy-efficiency limit value and has been used as a third-level energy efficiency index. The original energy-saving evaluation value is used as a second-level energy efficiency index, and on this basis, the highest energy efficiency rating is added. Level 1 energy efficiency. This shows that the energy-saving requirements of air compressors are getting higher and higher, which has played a role in promoting the development and actual technical level of various manufacturing companies, and at the same time enhancing the intensity and awareness of enterprises in increasing the development of energy-saving air compressors.

In 2010, the air compressor industry has shown new development trend. With the rapid development of the economy in recent years, the degree of industry concentration has increased, supply has been further concentrated in large companies, and the development of the gas and air compressor industry has gradually progressed to a reasonable and new situation. Through the advancement of strategic economic restructuring, many inferior enterprises have withdrawn, and outstanding enterprises have identified their positions, highlighted their main businesses, and continued to grow bigger and stronger, achieving strong alliances and undertaking major national technological equipment projects. In terms of related policies, as early as the beginning of 2009, the country has formulated a series of stimulus programs to reduce the impact of the global financial crisis on China’s economy, focusing on adjusting and reviving the downstream industries that include gas compressors such as petrochemicals and metallurgy. The top ten industries. These measures have had a positive impact on the development of the gas-air compressor industry. This is also the main reason for the gradual favorable economic performance of the air compressor industry in the second half of 2009. In the development of the international market, the air compressor industry should actively and cautiously explore its own internationalization path. At present, the pace of internationalization of the air compressor industry is slow. Especially during the whole year of 2009, the export situation of air compressors is not optimistic. This is mainly reflected in the fact that there is a certain gap between the level of technological development in the domestic air compressor industry and similar foreign companies. In particular, large-scale international enterprise groups with international competitiveness have not yet formed in the true sense. In the next three years, China's petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, marine, environmental protection, clean energy and other industries will further develop, and the demand for air compressor market is still promising. Such as high thrust reciprocating air compressors, process screw air compressors, large displacement oil-free air compressors, high-pressure large displacement air compressors, locomotive supporting air compressors, low-noise marine air compressors.

In 2010, it is a new starting point for the development of the air compressor industry. It is expected that the industry will show a new development trend in the future. The first is that there will be major breakthroughs in structural adjustment. At present, there are a series of deep-seated structural contradictions in the air compressor industry in China, including the overall overcapacity and excessively low-level production; the enterprises are small and scattered, and the industrial concentration is low; the irrational productivity distribution still exists; The tasks of row are heavy; the ability of scientific and technological innovation is not strong; the control of resources is not strong; the construction of the security system is lagging behind. These deep-seated structural contradictions have determined that the air compressor industry in 2010 must make great efforts to highlight the structural adjustments, achieve industrial upgrading, and seriously resolve major issues affecting the development of the air compressor industry. Second, the industry must vigorously promote the research and development of generic technologies and master independent intellectual property rights of core technologies and key technologies. At present, the scientific research funds for common technologies in the air compressor industry are insufficient for investment, and research and development are weak. In 2010, all enterprises should increase the R&D strength of technological equipment that will focus on nurturing independent intellectual property rights in China. We can strengthen the development of common technology research and development platforms such as national key laboratories, national engineering technology research centers, and industrial research institutes in a planned and step-by-step manner, and focus on supporting the research and development of original, common, and strategic key technologies. To cultivate a team of high-tech talent who are both proficient in basic technology and familiar with industry technology, and strive to grasp the independent intellectual property rights of core technologies, key technologies, and important products. Third, we should speed up the development of the manufacturing service industry. At present, there are some disadvantages in the air compressor industry that are detrimental to the development of the industry, such as the lack of high-end technology and the small scale of the company. Faced with these problems and fierce market competition, air compressor companies need to improve their core competitiveness and change their growth methods. Paying attention to services in the manufacturing process, from market research and after-sales service to product scrapping and recycling, and striving to provide customers with service items characterized by knowledge-intensive and high added value, is a key content for air compressor companies to achieve sustainable development. Most modern service industries use human capital and intellectual capital as their main inputs. This will also play an important supporting role for air compressor companies in their efforts to solve the problems of development and upgrading and increase their competitiveness.
