Faced With High Cost, Wool Knitting Enterprises Are In Pformation.

The pressure of employment pressure is getting more and more serious, which is troubling Eastern Textile small and medium-sized enterprises.

A few days ago, reporters in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places.

Improve equipment automation and reduce employment

The wool knitting industry is the most typical labor intensive industry in the textile industry. In recent years, it has not only encountered strong competition from low cost countries such as Bangladesh and ASEAN, but also from the domestic situation, labor environment and labor intensity have no advantages compared with other manufacturing industries.

Recruitment difficulties are very prominent in the wool knitting industry, especially in some special jobs, lack of talent, mobility of personnel and shortage of compound talents, resulting in high labor shortage and high labor cost, which brings enormous pressure to the production and operation of enterprises.

It is understood that the labor productivity of wool knitting industry is

Reporters interviewed in Ningbo found that just last year, a small private company bought more than 30 automatic computerized flat knitting machines, including the German stor automatic computerized flat knitting machine and the domestic Cixing automatic computerized flat knitting machine, with a total investment of over 10 million yuan.

According to the person in charge of the company, the company invested heavily in the purchase of advanced equipment, on the one hand, to save labor, and on the other hand, strive to improve product quality.

Not only small and medium-sized private wool knitting enterprises are keen on purchasing automatic machinery, but also the large enterprises that have won large scale production.

Ningbo YOUNGOR group has been buying 120 automatic computerized flat knitting machines since 2008.

Moreover, the company has decided to purchase a modern "automatic knitting hanging system" in the garment production workshop.

The system needs at least about 10000000 yuan, and the efficiency of the garments will be increased by 25% at most.

This also means that the employment pressure of the company will be greatly reduced.

With the popularity of automation equipment in China's wool knitting enterprises, the competitive advantage has been significantly improved.

Computerized flat knitting machine, as the main equipment for sweater production, has gradually replaced the hand-operated flat knitting machine with its excellent performance, simple operation, efficient operation and variety of colors. Especially in the case of shortage of labor resources, it can effectively change the production pitch of traditional equipment, which can reduce labor and delivery on time.

At present, the domestic computerized flat knitting machine has played a significant role in the production of ordinary products. Its cost performance is incomparable with that of imported equipment. The domestic equipment has replaced some imported equipment and saved the cost of enterprise renewal and pformation.

However, the momentum of imported computerized flat knitting machine is still strong. German STOLL still occupies a leading position in knitting machinery. There is still a gap in the production of high-end products or complex products and the development of new products.

Maintain the advantages of traditional export fist products

Woolen knitting is one of the major products in wool spinning industry. With the development of science and technology,

In wool knitting products, the export of cashmere and its products is obviously affected by the international economic situation. Cashmere products are regarded as luxury goods in the international market, and the elasticity of demand is large.

During the "11th Five-Year" period, under the guidance of national policies, the export of raw materials was further reduced, and the export of deep-processed products represented by cashmere sweaters increased further. The export of independent brand products increased but the proportion was lower, and the unit price of cashmere products had not yet significantly improved.

The main export markets of cashmere sweaters in China are relatively fixed, with high market concentration, and the market share of exports to Japan, the United States and Europe is over 80%. The main areas of export cashmere sweaters are Inner Mongolia, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Beijing and Guangdong. The number of Zhejiang exports increased by 28.5% over the same period last year, and the single price increased by 12.24% over the same period.

Wool knitting is mainly concentrated in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong and other places. In these areas, the production base and professional market of wool knitted garments, which are mainly composed of small and medium-sized enterprises and industries, have been formed. The allocation of resources has made the effect of industrial clusters obvious.

In the interview, the reporter learned that in the famous Tongxiang Pu Yuan, Huzhou Zhili, Dongguan Dalang, Wujiang horizontal fan, Shandong Haiyang and other sweater special towns, the export proportion is very large, and some industrial clusters of wool knitted products are all used for export.

The formation and growth of these clusters have more and more influence on the development of the industry, and have become an important force for industrial upgrading.

Increase product added value and reduce production cost

In addition to improving the automation rate of equipment, reducing labor costs and reducing labor costs, improving the added value of products and enhancing the competitiveness of products in the international and domestic markets also largely offset the increasing cost of employment.

Wool spinning yarn is the source of wool knitting industry chain. With the acceleration of technological progress and product development in recent years, the application of new materials, new technology, new technology and popular colors has greatly enriched the variety of wool yarn, and laid an important foundation for the development of wool knitting industry.

At present, China produces about 670 thousand tons of wool knitting yarn per year.

The diversification of raw materials has laid the foundation for product innovation. In recent years, with the continuous innovation of technology, cotton, wool, linen, silk and other natural fibers and all kinds of chemical fibers and functional fibers are widely used in the wool spinning system, forming distinctive knitting yarn with complementary advantages.

It is understood that the promotion and application of new technologies has promoted industrial upgrading, and the independent innovation semi worsted technology has been developing rapidly during the "11th Five-Year" period. It solved the technical problems that traditional worsted and woolen fabrics were difficult to solve individually, especially the requirements of spinning high count yarn of rare animals such as cashmere, rabbit hair, camel hair and yak hair. It also expanded the development of high count yarn products such as wool, wool, cotton and linen. With the continuous improvement of the technology, only 16 combing ~26 yarn of public yarn can be reached by using the combing technology, and the spinning of 26 public ~80 branches or even 120 branches can be completed.

In some wool knitting enterprises, the reporter has seen that new spinning technologies such as compact spinning, siro spinning and embedded composite spinning have been widely applied.

According to the technical personnel, compact spinning and siro spinning have significant effect on improving yarn evenness and reducing hairiness. Embedded composite spinning technology has broken the current limit of spinning number, greatly reduced the requirement of yarn number and length, and can be processed by this method for raw materials such as eiderdown, kapok, rabbit hair and short fiber with low strength.

At present, market-oriented innovation system has gradually formed in China's wool knitting industry.

Because wool spinning yarns are semi-finished products, most of them are directly used by wool knitted garment enterprises, and the order of the following enterprises is mainly used for yarn processing. In recent years, some key enterprises have intuitively perceived the design concepts and trends abroad by participating in or visiting foreign yarn exhibitions, and then excavated their own R & D capabilities and design capabilities. In the field of raw materials utilization, color matching, fashion trends and downstream brand cooperation, the innovation system with domestic and foreign market oriented has been formed, and gradually become the raw material supplier of large foreign brands and the raw material supplier of domestic well-known brands. This innovation system led by the leading enterprises has led to the pformation and upgrading of China's wool knitting industry as a whole.
