Why does drying equipment industry not see "Big Mac"

Chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food and other industries, because of the production process of some products must remove moisture, so chemical drying equipment came into being. Before the reform and opening up, drying equipment was mainly imported from Japan, Europe and the United States. In 1980, China's first collectively owned drying equipment manufacturing enterprise opened in the Yangtze River Delta, where China's first township chemical enterprise was born. It is said that in the relatively developed economy of the Yangtze River Delta, and after more than 20 years of development, there should be several large-scale enterprises in the field of drying equipment manufacturing. However, according to the reporter's understanding, although the total number of drying equipment manufacturing enterprises in Changzhou City is as high as 300, none of the enterprises with annual sales revenue of more than 100 million yuan has been found. Only one enterprise with more senior qualifications once achieved 100 million yuan of sales revenue in 2002, and only once before and after. Other better enterprises sell 50 million to 60 million yuan a year, and the average enterprise is about 20 million yuan. In the same period of development of local private chemical enterprises, a year sales revenue of more than a few dozen billion yuan.

Why is the gap so obvious? Changzhou, a general manager of a drying enterprise with Bachelor of engineering background, told reporters that the drying industry in the Yangtze River Delta is characterized by a scattered, two disordered and three too small. The key is that the industry access threshold is too low, and a drying equipment factory can be built with 500000 yuan plus more than 10 mu of land. Some registered enterprises, in fact, do not even have a formal address. After obtaining a business by means of relations and means, they immediately set up a grass-roots team to recruit metal workers and welders, rent a factory and start to produce dryers. This practice is not uncommon in Changzhou. This phenomenon is called dispersion. The so-called chaos refers to the equipment that some low-tech enterprises can do with their mouths closed and can do anything. Although the quality is very poor, but the price is low, it can be sold. If you are small, you don't have to say much. In his opinion, it is entirely possible for Changzhou's drying equipment industry to form seven or eight large-scale enterprises after competition.

Changzhou area more than 20 years out of a large-scale drying equipment enterprises, is it because the domestic and foreign market is not so big? Industry insiders deny this view. Drying equipment is widely used, not to mention the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food and other industries, electronic, military, light industry, agricultural products processing, universities and scientific research institutes laboratories have a large demand, but domestic equipment technology content is not high, can not sell a good price line, coupled with the vicious competition between enterprises, to a large extent offset the profits of the industry. A general manager reluctantly said that the price of steel increased last year, and the drying equipment should have been properly raised. However, some small factories stirred from it. If you could build this dryer for 100000 yuan, he said that 60000 yuan would be enough. After you get the job, you should use 3cm thick steel plate, but he uses 2cm. The service life of the equipment will not be long. However, users do not understand the technical requirements in this respect.

Industry insiders believe that in order to expand drying equipment enterprises, it is necessary to improve the industry access threshold, and the formulation of national standards is an important part. It is reported that the domestic drying equipment manufacturing industry has no national standards, that is, the industry standard is only a small number of products, and the quality of many products is only the customer has the final say, the industry called "customer mark". An independent industry of equipment manufacturing has no national standard and no industry standard, so the quality of drying equipment cannot be objectively inspected. In addition, it is not enough to have only one national industry association at present. It is necessary to establish regional and targeted associations as soon as possible, such as Changzhou drying equipment association, which is conducive to the development of the industry. In Taiwan, once there are more than seven enterprises in a certain industry, it is necessary to establish a regional industry association. Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province has also set up a lighter Association, which has made the industry develop rapidly, forming several large enterprises with international competitiveness. Changzhou drying equipment enterprises are so concentrated that it is beneficial to build an industry association and standardize the development of enterprises.
