The technological content of drying equipment is showing a dominant role

Since the beginning of 2004, driven by the continuous improvement of the national chemical development situation, the drying equipment market has remained stable and promising, and production enterprises have generally achieved good business performance. The technological content of drying equipment is showing a dominant role.

The prominent feature of drying equipment serving the chemical industry at present is the increasingly prominent role of technological content. This is very different from the past where selling products mainly relied on price competition. Among them, some drying equipment manufacturers with high technological content and focus on developing new products are increasingly improving their efficiency; On the contrary, some companies with low technological content in their products and weak ability to develop new products and technologies have started to experience a decline in efficiency.

A typical example is Lanzhou Ruide Drying Technology Co., Ltd., which has strong production capabilities in large-scale equipment and is currently unparalleled in China. Shandong Tianli relies on the Energy Institute of the Shandong Academy of Sciences, with strong technical support and a strong emphasis on the research and development of large-scale equipment. The large-scale professional complete set of processing equipment developed according to industry needs has achieved remarkable economic benefits since the beginning of last year. The spray drying technology jointly developed by Wuxi Linzhou Drying Equipment Factory, Dalian University of Technology, China Academy of Forestry Sciences and other colleges and universities, and scientific research units, has not only won the favor of the domestic market, ended the situation that China used to rely solely on imports of spray drying equipment, but also entered the international market.

Market response shows that the chemical industry expects the drying equipment manufacturing industry to adjust its product structure in accordance with the requirements of high quality, low energy consumption, and environmental protection, further strengthen basic research, and consolidate the foundation of application research and development. In terms of technology, strengthen research on automation, testing, manufacturing processes, materials and materials, and appearance design. In terms of application research and development, attention should be paid not only to international communication and cooperation, but also to the protection of intellectual property rights; We should not only focus on the development of new technologies and new application fields, but also pay attention to the innovation and innovation of traditional processes and traditional application fields. It should be said that this is the only way for China's drying equipment to become bigger and stronger.

At present, the improvement of technological content in domestic drying equipment is producing gratifying results. For a long time, the domestic drying equipment industry has been characterized by small production scale, low entry threshold, and low overall technical content. Enterprises with an annual sales revenue of less than 5 million yuan account for over 60% of the industry, while manufacturers with an annual sales revenue of over 10 million yuan only account for 5% to 8%. The product grade is generally low and similar.

But now, high-tech products are giving birth to backbone enterprises in the drying equipment manufacturing industry. This is likely a signal for the field to break away from vicious price competition, change the current situation of small and dispersed enterprises, and carry out natural industry integration. Through technological competition, taking the path of strong alliance and survival of the fittest, cultivating strong ^ type enterprises in the industry may be just around the corner.

In addition, technological progress will also reverse the current export situation of domestic drying equipment. At present, China's drying equipment has not yet formed an export scale, and the export volume is less than 5% of the total amount, mainly sold to Southeast Asia. However, according to authoritative predictions, with the development of technology, the proportion of China's export drying equipment in total production will increase from 5% to 10% in the next few years, and the export market will also expand from Southeast Asia to Europe and America. The situation where there is a significant gap between the manufacturing level of domestic large-scale drying equipment and the international level is expected to be improved.
