The technology content of drying equipment is playing a leading role

Since the beginning of 2004, driven by the continuous improvement of the national chemical industry development situation, the drying equipment market situation is stable and optimistic, and the production enterprises have generally achieved good business performance. The scientific and technological content of drying equipment initially showed a leading role.

At present, the remarkable characteristic of drying equipment serving the chemical industry is that the role of technical content is increasingly prominent. This is quite different from that in the past, products were mainly sold on the basis of price competition. Among them, some drying equipment with high technical content and pay attention to the development of new products, the benefit is increasing day by day; on the contrary, some enterprises with low technology content and weak ability to develop new products and new technologies begin to decline.

Lanzhou Ruide Drying Technology Co., Ltd. is a typical one. Its production strength in large-scale equipment is very strong. At present, it is almost no match in China. Shandong Tianli, which is backed by the Energy Institute of Shandong Academy of Sciences, has strong technical support and emphasizes the research and development of large-scale equipment. Since the beginning of last year, the large-scale professional complete set of processing equipment developed according to the needs of the industry has achieved remarkable economic benefits. The spray drying technology jointly developed by Wuxi Linzhou drying plant and Dalian University of Technology, China Academy of forestry and other scientific research institutions has won the favor of the domestic market, and ended the situation of our country's past spray drying equipment and equipment relying solely on imports, and also entered the international market.

Market reaction shows that the chemical industry expects the drying equipment manufacturing industry to adjust the product structure according to the requirements of high quality, low energy consumption and environmental protection, further strengthen the basic research and consolidate the foundation of application research and development. In terms of technology, we should strengthen the research on automation, testing, manufacturing technology, material and appearance design. In application research and development, we should not only pay attention to international exchanges and cooperation, but also pay attention to the protection of intellectual property rights; we should not only pay attention to the development of new technologies and new application fields, but also pay attention to the innovation and innovation of traditional technology 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 technology content of domestic drying equipment is producing gratifying effect. For a long time, the domestic drying equipment industry has such characteristics: small production scale, low entry threshold, and low overall technical content. The enterprises with annual sales revenue of less than 5 million yuan account for more than 60%, and the manufacturers with annual sales revenue of more than 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 the backbone enterprises of drying equipment manufacturing industry. This is likely to be a signal for the industry to get rid of vicious price competition, change the current situation of small and scattered enterprises, and carry out natural industry integration. Through technological competition, we should take the road of strong alliance and survival of the fittest, and cultivate strong ^ - type enterprises in the industry, perhaps in the near future.

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