In recent years, due to the continuous growth of production and marketing scale of tungsten and molybdenum plate in Chengdu Branch of Zigong cemented Carbide Co., Ltd., the problem of insufficient equipment investment has gradually emerged. The outstanding bottleneck of equipment production capacity and the low level of equipment automation not only affect the timely delivery of current product orders, but also restrict the improvement of product quality and output efficiency, and hinder the accelerated development of tungsten and molybdenum. In 2021, Chengdu Branch of Zi hard Company continued to strengthen the overall planning and investment in the upgrading and transformation of tungsten and molybdenum plate equipment, the pace of equipment technology investment was significantly accelerated, and the production and marketing scale and gross profit level of key products were greatly improved compared with the previous year. The effect of investment has been initially shown.
Seize the opportunity to speed up the production capacity bottleneck process equipment input to ensure order delivery. According to the changes in the market, since the hard company Chengdu Branch timely launched the implementation of a number of capacity supplement special investment plan. In the first half of 2021, the process capacity of a major silk product was expanded, and the new production capacity increased by more than 30% per month. The sales of this wire product increased by 178% from January to September of 2021 compared with the same period last year, and the gross profit is expected to increase by nearly 10 million yuan for the whole year. The expansion of a wire multi-process and multiple sets of wire drawing machines has been implemented, increasing the production capacity by more than 25% per month, effectively alleviating the pressure on orders, among which, from January to September 2021, the sales volume of the wire products increased by 19% compared with the same period last year, with a new gross profit of more than 10 million yuan. After the new equipment was put in place in March 2021, a branch plant increased the production capacity of tungsten and molybdenum products by more than 30% per month, effectively alleviating the shortage of output capacity caused by the increase in orders for products and wire materials.
Increase energy to make up for deficiencies, promote the automatic transformation of equipment, improve quality and reduce costs, and improve the environment. In the first half of 2021, the company completed the input of a new type of fully automatic powder reduction furnace. Compared with the original production furnace, the production capacity of the equipment is doubled, the unit power consumption is reduced by 20%, and the problem of powder quality is solved, which eliminates the necessary roller process of the original process, shortens the process of powder production, and makes the product quality more stable and high quality. In recent years, the production branch plant managed by the branch has completed the fully automatic transformation of several new reduction furnaces, the labor intensity of the staff has been significantly reduced, the production efficiency has been greatly improved, the product quality has been more stable, and the production cost has been gradually reduced. It has created good conditions for the follow-up high-quality development of tungsten-molybdenum plate.
The standard is advanced, the technical transformation of key products is carried out, and the new competitiveness is created. In order to speed up the technological progress of key products, the company has launched a technical transformation project of a key wire production equipment and a certain type of automation equipment system. After the implementation of the project, the performance index of the wire products will be increased by 10-15%, the annual production cost will be saved by more than 1 million yuan, and the market competitiveness of key products will be significantly improved.
"the equipment level of the Chengdu Branch of the self-hardening Company has lagged behind the advanced benchmark of the industry, and we must do something and make great efforts to gradually improve the level of equipment automation and the quantity and quality of equipment hardware, so as to create better conditions for high-quality development in the future." So said Ding Lishun, general manager of Chengdu branch.
