As the industry's previous process, sales of chemical fiber machinery market is an important indicator to judge the development trend of the chemical fiber industry. Serving the transformation and upgrading of the chemical fiber industry has become a distinctive main line for the development of the chemical fiber machinery industry.

In 2017, which domestic chemical fiber machinery sales better? What kind of development trend will be presented in 2018? Let big data of chemical fiber machinery tell you.

Chemical fiber machinery: sales turn reverse engineering technology attention

China Textile Machinery Association's incomplete statistics show that:

In the first three quarters of 2017, domestic shipments of polyester and nylon filament spinning machines were 4,450 spinning positions, which represented a year-on-year increase of 71.15% over the same period in 2016. The number of texturing machines sold was approximately 923 units, an increase of 59.14 over the same period of 2016. %.

In the first three quarters of 2017, orders for polyester staple fiber equipment (capacity) reached 490,000 tons.

The first three quarters of 2017, viscose equipment orders (capacity) has reached about 1.1 million tons.

Customs statistics show that from January to October 2017, the import and export volume of China's chemical fiber machinery and accessories was US$497 million. Among them, the import amount was 343 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 36.55% year-on-year. The main importing countries were Japan and Germany. The export value was 153 million U.S. dollars, down 7.09% year-on-year. The main exporting countries were emerging markets such as Turkey, Indonesia and Vietnam.

Operational analysis

As the investment in the chemical fiber industry rebounded, the number of newly-added chemical fiber projects in China increased, and the demand for chemical fiber machinery market increased significantly. Compared with the same period of 2016, the sales volume of chemical fiber equipment in 2017 has improved significantly.

From the understanding of equipment manufacturers, the demand for filament spinning machines and texturing machines increased; the market for polyester staple fiber complete sets of equipment improved; viscose staple fiber complete sets of equipment formed certain new capacity, and orders were in good order; The degree of automation in the area of automation has increased, and the market for automated roll-off, packaging, and logistics warehousing equipment for chemical fiber filaments is better.

Trend forecast

In recent years, the chemical fiber industry at home and abroad has paid more attention to the development of large-capacity, refinement, low-input, high-output, digital and intelligent control, high-precision, and reliability of production equipment. In particular, at the same time as refining the conventional products, we will focus on the development of equipment and complete sets of engineering technologies that are compatible with the special fiber and functional fiber technologies to reduce consumption and reduce pollution.

In 2018, chemical fiber machinery was mainly developed in the direction of digitization and intelligentization, and realized full-process automation. The chemical fiber filament production line achieved digital automatic control.

According to industry experts, the era of the chemical fiber industry's development model of growth by expansion has passed, new capacity projects have decreased, and demand for chemical fiber equipment has also declined. Despite the slow sales of conventional chemical fiber equipment, functionalized, differentiated, and high-quality chemical fiber equipment has been gradually favored by manufacturers.

More and more chemical fiber companies at home and abroad pay attention to the refinement of production equipment, high output, digitalization, intelligent control, high precision, and reliability, and pay attention to special fibers and functions while refining conventional products. The development of the matching equipment and complete engineering technology for the fiber processing technology meets the requirements of users and achieves the goals of improving quality, increasing efficiency, reducing consumption, and reducing pollution.

Intelligent inspection is also the focus of the development of the chemical fiber machinery industry. The online intelligent detection of filaments in spinning, the development of the intelligent detection of strands in tension, online intelligent detection of tow tension, intelligent inspection of package appearance quality, intelligent automatic detection systems for physical and chemical properties, etc. .

With regard to polyester staple fiber equipment, with the increasing scarcity of petroleum resources and rising labor costs, direct-spun large-capacity short-fiber devices have entered a period of low profit, with shorter structures, more flexible functions, and more advanced and cost-effective short fibers. Complete sets of equipment have become the main direction of development. In 2018, high-efficiency, energy-saving staple fiber complete sets of equipment will be the mainstream of the industry development. Its automation, equipment operation rate and labor productivity are high, and its energy consumption and material consumption are low. The product quality is stable and it can meet the production needs of large-scale products. Market share will also remain high.

For chemical fiber filament equipment, domestic and foreign manufacturers' product development should focus on optimizing the energy, efficiency, and functionality of the equipment. On the one hand, energy conservation and consumption reduction, reduce costs, improve product profits; on the other hand through differentiated design to improve product competitiveness.

For the special components of chemical fiber equipment, the trend of development of winding machines that are of concern is stable operation, compact structure, and high-efficiency and energy-saving, and the performance is long in the length of the collet, and the number of bobbins with a single collet is large. The long chuck imposes higher requirements on the mechanical design and mechanical vibration of the winding machine, and at the same time it is more difficult in terms of mechanical manufacturing process and manufacturing precision; the increase in the number of bobbins is also a development trend.

On the whole, as the downstream chemical fiber market recovers (starting rate of polyester and nylon production exceeds 75%), the investment of domestic chemical fiber companies will increase. It is expected that in 2018, orders for the chemical fiber machinery market will continue to grow.
