innovation leads new leaps, quality and efficiency to a higher level
“The polyimide film production line has finally been put into operation, which is the happiest thing for me in 2021!” Tong Bangyi, the technical backbone and project manager of Guilin Electric Appliance Research Institute Co., Ltd., said in summing up the work of the whole year that the company’s Innovation led a new leap and achieved a new level of quality and efficiency.
Guilin Electric Appliance Research Institute Co., Ltd. has been engaged in the design and research of complete sets of equipment such as plastic film stretching unit for a long time since the 1960s. It is the birthplace of the research and development of film stretching equipment in China. Over the years, many “first sets” of film stretching equipment have come from here, largely replacing imported equipment, saving foreign exchange for the country and bringing tangible benefits to Chinese customers.
Film drawing unit is the most complex equipment in plastic machinery. Due to high technical barriers, the equipment market has been monopolized by foreign suppliers for a long time. Breaking monopoly, encouraging innovation and making enterprises become the main body of innovation has become the consensus of all employees of Guilin Electric Appliance Research Institute Co., Ltd.
“After working here for more than ten years, I really feel the progress of technology and the development of the industry.” Tong Bangyi said that from a technician to a technical backbone, he witnessed the development of domestic wide and high-speed production lines and participated in the design and installation of 1.6m polyimide film production lines.
In recent years, Guilin Electric Appliance Research Institute Co., Ltd. has built a biaxial tensile film Engineering Center, and built a multi-functional test line relying on the center. Combined with the film drawing experience accumulated by the company for many years, it has overcome the technical difficulties, and made great efforts to solve the construction of intelligent data acquisition and processing service platform, intelligent control of production line Application of new technologies such as fault real-time monitoring and diagnosis. In addition, the company has also made major technological breakthroughs in the most popular degradable material – polylactic acid film, basically mastered the key process parameters of biaxially stretched polylactic acid film, and realized the continuous production of polylactic acid film.
The 1.6m polyimide film production line built by Guilin Suzhou Electrical Apparatus Science Academy Co.Ltd(300215) represents the highest level of domestic imide equipment and attracts the favor of many customers at home and abroad. In October 2020, Guilin Electric Appliance Research Institute Co., Ltd. signed two polyimide film production lines with Anhui Guofeng Plastic Industry Co.Ltd(000859) and Tong Bangyi served as the project manager. The project was completed and put into operation at the end of December 2021, and the contract for two production lines was signed again before putting into operation.
“The success of these cooperation is inseparable from continuous innovation. Aiming at the problem of dust on the surface of imine film in China, Guilin Suzhou Electrical Apparatus Science Academy Co.Ltd(300215) built a new high-temperature test line and developed a high-temperature rolling chain clamp device to solve the dust problem from the source. These continuous R & D investment brought 350 million new contracts to Suzhou Electrical Apparatus Science Academy Co.Ltd(300215) last year.” Tong Bangyi said.
innovation driven development breaks monopoly and goes to the world
On the eve of the Spring Festival, the reporter came to China National Chemical Engineering Co.Ltd(601117) industrial Guilin Engineering Co., Ltd. and chief engineer Chen Yilin was discussing with his colleagues the iterative upgrading of the full-automatic bead production line of all steel radial tire. As one of the largest R & D and manufacturers of high-end rubber machinery equipment in China, Sinochem Guilin Engineering Co., Ltd. has undertaken engineering services for most large tire factories outside China. It has more than 20 independent core R & D technologies and products of “China’s first”. In 2021, the global rubber machinery enterprises ranked 11th, The rubber cold feed extruder was recognized as the Sixth Batch of national single champion products of manufacturing industry by the Ministry of industry and information technology.
Rubber extruder is widely used in tire production enterprises. It belongs to high-end equipment manufacturing and has been monopolized by foreign enterprises for many years. With China’s emphasis on independent R & D, enterprises including Sinochem Guilin engineering company have gradually grown into high-end equipment R & D and manufacturing enterprises of rubber extrusion machinery with completely independent intellectual property rights.
Chen Yilin has worked for 16 years and witnessed the company’s process of adhering to innovation driven development, breaking monopoly and going to the world.
