China's presses will have 15 years of growth

In recent years, China's plastic machinery has become one of the most rapidly developing industries in the traditional machinery manufacturing industry, with an annual demand of 8.5 billion yuan. In the next 15 years, China's plastics machinery industry will continue to grow.
The rapid development of China's plastics machinery industry is due to the following factors: First, the rapid development of the domestic plastics processing industry, the strong demand for plastic machinery; Second, the demand for high-tech equipment brought about by the equipment update and outdated equipment. From the statistics of historical data, it can be seen that the increase in the output of plastic products has led to an increase in sales of plastic machinery. From 1991 to 1999, the average annual increase in the output of plastic products was 26.61%, and the sales of plastic machinery increased by 17.38% over the same period. The long-term plan of China's plastics industry will reach 25 million tons of plastic products by 2005, and the total output in 2015 will double to 50 million tons. The good development prospect of the plastics processing industry will continue to be the main driving force behind the rapid development of China's plastics industry. After joining the World Trade Organization, it will bring at least two favorable conditions for the development of China's plastics machinery industry. First, it will facilitate exports; It is conducive to the introduction of technologies, including the advanced manufacturing technologies brought by foreign-invested joint ventures and sole proprietorship enterprises in China. China is a world leader in the production of plastic machinery, but its export value has only accounted for only 5% to 10% of its total sales value for many years. This is in contrast to the fact that advanced countries such as Italy account for about 50% of their total output value. Commensurate.
According to China's current production capacity and export potential of presses, increasing exports should be one of our basic developments for further development. We must make full use of the opportunities brought about by China's accession to the WTO, strive to create conditions, increase exports, and expand the space for the development of China's plastics machinery industry.
My personal assessment of the past, present and future of China's plastics machinery industry is that there are significant achievements, many problems and a bright future. In order to enable the healthy development of China's press industry, we hereby make the following recommendations:
-- The plastic machinery must be positioned according to the concept of "plastic engineering". "Plastic engineering" in the narrow sense includes raw material formulas, plastic processing techniques, plastic machinery, and molds. Broadly speaking, it should also include the basic requirements for the application of products. For the press industry, we must look forward. According to the raw material formulation, processing technology and product application, we have developed new products, new technologies and new markets. In recent years, we have noticed the importance of product technology for machine manufacturing, and the improvement of complete supply capacity and process level is a proof, but the application of products Research in the field is insufficient. The recent popular production of plastic containers for beer filling, plastic bottles for hot beverage filling, and aseptic filling exposes our serious shortcomings in this area. It has been reported that BOPP bottles have been introduced and have the performance of PET bottles, but the cost has been reduced by 20%, which is of great significance for a wide range of beer beverages. China introduced more than 30 PVC low-foaming sheet production lines during the “Ninth Five-Year Plan” period. It is said that one-third of them are idle, one-third of them are suspended, and one-third of them are at full-load production and even need to increase production capacity. . When talking about the relationship between blow molding equipment and the production of agricultural plastic products, foreign experts said that designing a good blow molding machine, 80% depends on the understanding of the processing technology of the product, to produce a qualified plastic bottle, 80% depends on the machine The level of manufacturing; to make your own equipment market, you should be a first-class plastic products expert, clear the entire process of forming the product, so that your equipment can meet the needs of the production of such plastic products, your equipment naturally Market.
-- Talent cultivation is a top priority. Talents include senior management personnel, financial personnel with international standards, professionals in the information field and high-level engineering and technical personnel. Enterprises should pay attention to the development and use of human resources, which is related to the survival of an enterprise.
-- To speed up the industrialization of scientific research achievements. This is a problem that we have already realized but that has not always been solved.
Enterprises with poor performance have no previous capital investment and are unable to transform their achievements; enterprises with good returns are reluctant to invest in the transformation of results, which has caused the scientific research departments to fall into embarrassment. Individuals in some research units are unwilling to make efforts to improve scientific and technological achievements, and handing over immature achievements to enterprises not only harms people but also affects the entire industrialization process of scientific and technological achievements. In recent years, the State Economic and Trade Commission, the Planning Commission, and the Ministry of Science and Technology have issued a number of related policies. We must make full use of them. As long as we are all united in one mind, we will certainly achieve faster and greater progress in the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements.
