"Three Looks" on the Competitiveness of my country's Extrusion Equipment Market

[ Focus on Chemical Machinery Equipment Network ] After more than 100 years of development, plastic extruders have been derived from the original single screw and have a variety of models such as twin screw, multi screw, and even no screw
.
In the development of China's plastic machinery industry, as an important processing equipment, the extruder has an optimistic development prospect
.

 

Nowadays, specialization, individualization, serialization, standardization, compounding, miniaturization, large-scale, intelligent, and automation are the mainstream directions of the development of China's extrusion machinery industry, while meeting the requirements of energy saving, material saving, high efficiency and environmental protection
.
In recent years, my country's twin-screw extruder market has made considerable progress and breakthroughs, which are mainly reflected in the following major aspects:
 

Look at the export value of the product
 

With the expansion of domestic plastic machinery enterprises in the development of emerging markets for extruders, the further expansion of brand awareness has improved market competitiveness, and the proportion of foreign exports has also increased
.

 

According to statistics from the General Administration of Customs, in the first half of 2021, the total value of imports and exports of 12 key tariff lines for plastic machinery in China was nearly US$2.
880 billion, a year-on-year increase of 49%
.
Among them, imports amounted to 1.
107 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 40%
.
Among them, the export value of extruders increased faster than imports, and the export value of extrusion blow molding machines increased by 23% year-on-year
.

 

From January to July of 2021, the total import and export volume of 12 key tariff lines for plastic machinery in China is US$3.
338 billion, a year-on-year increase of nearly 40%
.
Among them, imports amounted to US$1.
268 billion, a year-on-year increase of 30%
.
The export value of extruders continued to grow faster than imports, and the export value of extrusion blow molding machines increased by 17% year-on-year
.

【2021 List of Advantageous Companies of Chinese Plastics Machinery】
 

　　According to the statistical analysis of the China Plastics Machinery Industry Association, China's leading plastic machinery companies have become a veritable important pillar in the development of the plastics machinery industry.
From the perspective of labor productivity indicators, the per capita output value of 40 companies on the list in 2020 (total industrial output value/number of employees) It was 1.
218 million yuan, which was higher than 1.
06 million yuan in the previous year
.
According to the sub-industry, the per capita output value of extruder companies in 2020 will reach 1.
55 million yuan, which is significantly higher than that of injection molding machines, hollow molding machines, auxiliary machinery and supporting parts companies
.

 

　　In the face of changes in the international situation and changes in China's economic situation, import substitution will help upgrade domestic industries and reshape the global value chain
.

 

　　Dalian Rubber & Plastic Machinery Co.
, Ltd.
with a history of over 100 years is the leading factory and export base of China's rubber and plastic machinery industry
.
A few days ago, Big Rubber & Plastics developed the first domestically-made large-size 300,000-ton/year high-density polyethylene (ST) extrusion pelletizing unit for Sinopec Ningbo Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Co.
, Ltd.
, which passed various strict factory performance tests and passed Commissioning, the factory acceptance of the equipment was successfully completed, and the equipment was disassembled and shipped one after another
.
It marks that Big Rubber has made new breakthroughs in the first set of domestically-made large-scale extrusion granulation units and the development of high-end, serialization and standardization
.

 

　　Nanjing Keya is a pioneer in plastic compounding and modification equipment in China and even in the world.
Since the 1980s, it has made outstanding contributions to the technological innovation and product localization process of China's polymer material equipment industry
.
At the beginning of this century in the 1990s, several 10,000-ton-class domestically produced medium and large-scale installations with independent intellectual property rights were delivered successively, such as Daqing Huake, Tianjin Danhai, and Xinjiang Ta Petrochemical
.
On June 23, 2021, Nanjing Keya completed the preliminary investigation and project approval of the “Localization of Large-scale Twin Screw Extrusion Equipment” project
.
The project is planned to be completed and put into mass production within 2022.
At that time, 20-30 sets of stable, reliable, and cost-effective large-scale complete sets of equipment can be delivered to users in China and the world.
Various application scenarios such as large molecular weight devolatilization
.

 

　　Look at standard setting
 

　　Standards are an important basis for enterprise product production and a prerequisite for ensuring product quality and improving product market competitiveness
.
Industry and product standards are the technical guarantee of product quality, as well as a comprehensive reflection of technical and economic capabilities.
The formulation of standards promotes the development of the industry in a healthy and sustainable direction
.
In recent years, the National Standardization Administration of China has continued to implement and improve new industry standards, and many of them have participated in the formulation of standards by a group of representative "lead" companies in the industry
.

 

　　The screw extruder relies on the pressure and shear force generated by the rotation of the screw, which can make the material can be fully plasticized and uniformly mixed, and formed through the die
.
It is understood that more than 75% of the screw products in the country come from Jintang, Zhoushan, Zhejiang, known as the "Screw Capital of China".
Zhoushan Jintang plastic machine screw industry has been listed as a key support project for industrial quality improvement in Zhejiang Province
.
Recently, Zhejiang Huaye Plastic Machinery Co.
, Ltd.
led the drafting of the "Nitrided Single Screw and Barrel for Plastic Machinery" group standard officially released, which indicates that Jintang Screw has basically achieved full coverage of standard products
.

 

　　Up to now, Jintang has four "Made in Zhejiang" group standards including "Full-hard single screw for plastic machinery" and "Conical counter-rotating twin screw and barrel for plastic extruder", which basically cover all types of screws for plastic machinery.

.
In addition, the standards in use in the Jintang screw industry include two association group standards such as "Single Screw and Barrel for Plastic Machinery" and "Twin Screws and Barrel for Plastic Machinery" and "Screw and Barrel for Plastic Machinery" (JB/T 8538-2011) 1 industry standard
.
Jintang screw industry has basically formed a "stepped, full coverage" standard system composed of "Made in Zhejiang" group standards, association group standards, and industry standards, providing standard support for the high-quality development of the screw industry
.

 

　　Conclusion: At present, from the perspective of the overall development of China's extruder industry, there are still problems such as low independent innovation capabilities, insufficient complete sets of capabilities, and poor industry concentration
.
Although China's extrusion technology has not produced breakthrough or revolutionary results in recent years, it has been rapidly improved and perfected.
Through the continuous breakthrough of the enterprise itself, it has also promoted the continuous improvement of the industry's comprehensive competitiveness
