Xinjiang Textile Moves Towards "Green + Intelligence"

In July 11th, the reporter went into the intelligent dyeing workshop of Kangping NAT intelligent Dyeing Co., Ltd., located in Korla economic and Technological Development Zone, Xinjiang. In the control room, the workers pressed the button and finished the control of the whole production line, controlling the outdoor, only two or three workers were visiting the equipment, the robot walked rhythmically, and the finished yarn was neatly placed on the shelf.

According to the introduction, this project has 20 thousand tons of dyed yarn per year, which can save 1 million 900 thousand tons of water annually, reduce the discharge of sewage by 1 million 800 thousand tons, and achieve 17 thousand and 800 tons of standard coal in the year.

At the same time, in Changji, Xinjiang Yida Textile Co., Ltd., an intelligent cotton production line with an annual output of 30 thousand spindles, which integrates automation and informatization, has achieved automatic production of the whole process from cotton catching to finished packaging. This production line has reached the highest level of intelligent development of domestic cotton spinning industry.

Xinjiang has a unique resource advantage in developing the textile industry. In recent years, with the promotion of many preferential policies, the transformation and upgrading of Xinjiang's textile industry has been quickened, and the trend of digitalization and intellectualization has become increasingly apparent.

Xie Qing, deputy director of the Department of industry and information technology of Xinjiang autonomous region, said that at present, a large number of well-known textile and garment enterprise groups in China, such as Jinsheng, Huafu, Yida, Tianhong and Ruyi, have invested and laid out projects in Kashi, Akesu, Bayinguoleng Mongolia Autonomous Prefecture, Urumqi city and Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture. In 2018, Xinjiang cotton spinning spindles had reached 18 million 90 thousand spindles, about 11000000 more than in 2014.

Xie Qing introduced that the cotton spinning capacity in Xinjiang mostly used domestic and foreign textile machinery such as ring spinning, airstream spinning and vortex spinning. The automatic spinning production line, advanced intelligent equipment and new spinning technology were widely used. At the same time, the quality and market competitiveness of the textile enterprises within the territory have been significantly improved to meet the demand of downstream high-end brand enterprises.

In fact, speeding up the industry's extension to the middle and lower reaches and enhancing the supporting ability of industry have become the consensus of developing textile and garment industry in all parts of Xinjiang.

In Bazhou, the whole industrial chain of textile and garment industry in Korla economic and Technological Development Zone has begun to take shape. Ji Honghui, deputy director of the Party Working Committee and director of the Management Committee of the Development Zone, said that next step, they will strive to promote the industrial chain to the terminal, extend the industrial value added, and focus on creating the Western socks city and the towel city and the garment and home textile city which undertake the industrial transfer of Hebei, and form an industrial cluster with distinctive characteristics, obvious advantages and strong competitiveness, and promote the development of the textile and garment industry to scale, specialization and branding, and strive to transform the Korla economic and Technological Development Zone into a national large-scale textile and garment production and processing export base.

In Akesu, another important textile industry in southern Xinjiang, in July 10th, Akesu textile industrial city (Development Zone) and Akesu Furui Cotton Textile Co., Ltd. signed the textile and apparel industry chain project. The project has a new annual spinning volume of 300 thousand spindles, 520 jet looms, an annual output of 12 million meters of grey cloth, 2 million sets of home textile industry and 5 million garments. After being put into operation, it will promote the further development of the textile and garment industry chain of Akesu textile industrial city (Development Zone), and make up for the shortage of downstream industries such as weaving and clothing.

At the Xinjiang level, the autonomous region is striving to create a new pattern of innovation driven, green LED, open and shared modern textile and garment industry. Since 2018, the whole region has been planning to gradually eliminate the scale of 3 spindles (including 30 thousand spindles) and the backward cotton spinning capacity in 30 thousand years through technological transformation and replacement, and speed up the development of intellectualization and greening in weaving, printing and dyeing, clothing, home textiles, knitting, industrial textiles and other fields, further improving the digitalization and intellectualization level of technical equipment, and adopting new technologies and technologies to develop and produce more new textile and clothing products that meet the needs of the market and marketable, so as to enhance the strength and level of Xinjiang's textile and garment industry.

According to the Xinjiang textile and garment industry development plan (2018 to 2023), by 2023, Xinjiang will build a high quality cotton yarn production base with global competitive advantages. The largest textile export processing base in the western region and the distribution center for westward exports will further enhance the technological innovation capability and endogenous dynamism of the enterprises, improve the quality of products, improve the industrial development environment continuously, and enhance the overall strength and development level of the whole industry to achieve the strategic goal of driving millions of people to work.

The blueprint has been painted, but there is still a lot of work to do. Xie Qing said that for the textile and garment industry in Xinjiang, it is necessary to continue to make efforts in the short board and strong internal strength so as to realize industrial transformation and upgrading at an early date.
