Located in Ningbo, Zhejiang, China Haitian Group is the largest plastic machinery manufacturer in the country and the world. Last year, its sales reached 3.28 billion yuan, accounting for more than 20% of the total sales of the national plastic machine industry. Unexpectedly, when talking about the operation of last year, Chairman Zhang Jingzhang mentioned a "going to the city": last year they received an order for an electric injection molding machine worth a total of 15 million US dollars, but In the end, I gave up, because some of them are not yet available, and they can't do it. Zhang Jingzhang’s words inadvertently touched the weakness of the entire plastics industry – the core technology is poor.
Long-term imitation road
"Plastic machine is the most representative of the core technology in the entire plastics industry, but in this field, we have almost no important core technology." Wang Xingtian, a famous national plastics technology expert and professor of Beijing University of Chemical Technology, said. It happened that a group of data became evidence of his remarks: in 2003, China’s plastic machine exports reached 10,800 sets, worth $4.821 billion. At the same time, it imported 21,400 sets of plastic machines, valued at 32.551 billion US dollars. In other words, imported products gained 6.75 times the value in less than twice the amount.
The independent innovation of technology includes two aspects: one is originality, that is, the innovation of core technology; the other is inheritance innovation, that is, partial technological innovation, the most important is to develop core technology. According to Wu Daming, a professor at Beijing University of Chemical Technology who has long studied the development of China's plastic machine industry, for a long time, China's press products have mainly followed the path of imitation. Most enterprises do not have independent intellectual property rights. There is a saying in the plastic machine industry that if the domestic plastic machine products are pumped out of the key components and core technology of the import, the rest is just a pile of steel.
It is said that the highly competitive plastics industry should be a highly technical field. However, many domestic plastic machine companies are taking a path of winning by quantity, leaving technological innovation on the side.
Japan's Nissei is not the world's best-skilled press company, but they have five technical research centers, with technical engineers accounting for 46.1% of the total number of employees and 1,470 patents. Looking at the domestic market, Ningbo Haitai Group is the top three companies in the plastics industry in China, but they only have 18 patented technologies, and only three of the most important invention patents.
Lack of motivation for independent innovation
"The special structure of the plastics industry chain seriously restricts the independent innovation impulse of the plastic machine enterprises." When talking about the difficulties of independent innovation in the industry, Professor Wang Xingtian described this. The market for press products is in the field of plastic processing, and the enterprises in this field are too small, the production capacity is too scattered, and the industrial concentration is not high, resulting in low-level competition in the market. A considerable number of product companies only produce daily-use plastic products and simple industrial products that are basically free of technical content, and rely on the advantage of low labor costs to enter the market at low prices.
As a result, most downstream product companies lack the ability to use high-tech plastic machines to improve product quality, and only meet the general processing equipment. There is no demand for the product enterprises, and the technological innovation of the plastic machine manufacturing enterprises is difficult to obtain market response, and the innovation impulse of the plastic machine enterprises will naturally be greatly suppressed.
Zhang Jingzhang, chairman of Haitian Group, a leading domestic plastics machine industry, said that Haitian Group has been tracking international advanced technology and cultivating its core technology through the introduction and digestion of foreign technology. Other domestic enterprises simply follow the Haitian Group and form a deformed technology development pattern of "Haitian sees foreign countries and domestically watches Haitian", which leads to the serious homogenization of domestic plastic machine products.
Professor Wu Daming listed a series of presses that require core technology: precision injection molding machines, one-step injection blow molding units, large-diameter solid-wall tubes and corrugated pipe production lines, and twin-screw mixing and granulating equipment. These high-end products require breakthroughs in core technologies. However, few domestic companies produce.
What is gratifying is that with the development of the market, more and more plastic machine companies are beginning to work hard on technological innovation. Haitian Group has just developed a successful two-plate injection molding machine, which can greatly save steel. The world's first annual production of 3,000 tons of carbon dioxide copolymer Production Line, which was jointly researched by Changchun Yinghua Institute of Inner Mongolia and Inner Mongolia Mengxi High-tech Group Co., solved carbon dioxide and ring. The problem of mass transfer, heat transfer and separation in the bulk copolymerization of oxides; Shaanxi Qinchuan Plastic Machinery Factory invested nearly 10 million yuan to develop a 6-layer co-extrusion blow molding machine, making it the third in the world to produce this product. enterprise……
Core technology breakthroughs are difficult, but they must be done. This is the only way for the future development of the plastic machine industry, and it is also the consensus of the industry.
