Domestic Traditional Wool Weaving Industry Begins To Upgrade

"Basically, now we have switched to automatic numerical control looms. In the past, hand-held flat knitting machines and semi-automatic flat knitting machines have been eliminated, and there is no longer any noise like that." Ye Runquan, a native of Dalang, excitedly introduced that in 1992, when he worked as a hand-held flat knitting machine in a small workshop opened by others, he is now the owner of the Yi Shang Clothing Co., Ltd. of Dongguan, which owns more than 40 automatic numerical control looms. He feels deeply about the mechanized transformation of wool industry.

In 2005, Dalang town strongly encouraged enterprises to "machine substitutions", and promoted by mechanized production. Wool transformation Upgrade. "Since then, many small businesses have begun to purchase CNC automatic looms. I think it's a good opportunity to start building their own factories." Ye Runquan said that his processing plant started with semi-automatic flat knitting machine, and in 2010 all automatic CNC looms were used. When asked about the most worrying problems in production and operation, Ye Runquan said, "the most worrying thing is power outage. Now the electricity consumption has increased 6 times than that when the factory started."

Walk into Dalang town Wool industry Dongguan City Ying Qi Industrial Co., Ltd., where more than 20 people operate more than 1000 machines at the same time, it is one of the earliest enterprises in Dalang to realize machine replacement. "Before 2007, the company had 400 hand flat knitting machines, and then nearly 400 numerical control looms were introduced. Now, we have more than 1300 machines, the production efficiency is increased by at least 7 times, and the added value of products has increased by about 20%. " Chen Weibo, director of Ying Qi Industrial Co., Ltd. told reporters that when a hand-held machine is used, a transformer with a total capacity of 250 thousand volts can support the electricity consumption of the enterprise. When the CNC machine was in place in 2007, it was immediately upgraded to 3 630 thousand volt ampere transformers. He said, "from 2007 to 2010, the electricity capacity of the company increased by nearly 18 times in 4 years. When our CNC machine increases, the power capacity will rise. "

"Only the Lane head village has its size. Wool weaving enterprise More than 3000. Dalang does not produce one wool, but owns a mature wool industry chain. The annual gross sales of wool sweaters in the entire wool weaving industry cluster exceed 1 billion 200 million. Chen Chunnuan, Secretary General of Dongguan wool textile industry association, said that before 1990s, woollen knitted fabrics were mostly hand-operated flat knitting machines and semi-automatic flat knitting machines, with high labor costs and monotonous colors and patterns made by traditional flat knitting machines, which gradually could not adapt to the development and fashion demand of the wool industry. In 2010, the wool weaving industry of Dalang town was in the leap of transformation and upgrading. In a short span of two years, automatic numerical control machines began to appear in large wool weaving factories. At present, the total number of CNC looms in Dalang has exceeded 40 thousand units.

The transformation and upgrading of Da LAN weaving industry to "intelligent manufacturing" can be observed through the data of electricity consumption variables. "In the past 10 years, the transformation and upgrading of the mechanization of big wool weaving industry has brought about the rapid growth of electricity consumption." Ye Zhide, director of the Sales Department of Dongguan Dalang Power Supply Bureau, said that the fastest growing time was in 2010 and 2011, and the whole town's wool weaving industry applied large-scale CNC machines on a large scale. In addition, over the past two years, the original fuel boilers have been replaced by the electric stove, and the electricity consumption has increased again. According to statistics, in the past 10 years, the annual electricity consumption of Dalang town has increased from 1 billion 220 million kwh to 2 billion 794 million kwh.

Ye Zhide introduced that, in recent years, the power supply department has solved the heavy overload distribution transformer by changing the small and new lines, providing a steady and reliable power for the transformation and upgrading of the wool industry.
