In order to facilitate the management of textile mills, the application system based on Internet technology will have great room for development.

weaving machinery

Upgrading of old machines to promote enterprise orders

Data snapshot In the first three quarters of 2018, the main shuttleless loom factories in China sold 61398 rapier looms, water looms and air-jet looms. The number increased by 68.98% over the same period last year. Among them, 5490 rapier looms were sold, the number increased by 6.11% compared to the same period last year, and the sales volume of water jet looms was 42793, the number increased by 94.51% over the same period, and the sales of air-jet looms were 13115, the number increased by 43.16% over the same period last year.

In the first three quarters of 2018, China imported 6655 high-speed rapier looms, water looms and air-jet looms, an increase of 10.13% over the same period last year. Among them, 2052 high-speed rapier looms, an increase of -20.12% over the same period, and 1191 water jet looms, an increase of 30.45% over the same period; 3412 air-jet looms, an increase of 33.23% over the same period. On the export side, according to customs data, in 2018 1~9, a total of 19983 rapier looms, water looms and air-jet looms were exported, representing an increase of 6.04% over the same period last year. Among them, rapier looms 11808, the number increased by 12.56% compared to the same period; the number of water jet looms was 6700, the number increased by 0.34% compared to the same period; the number of air-jet looms was 1475, the number increased by -12.05%

Operation analysis Affected by the adjustment of the national financial and financial policies, the increase of raw material prices, the replenishment of downstream enterprises, the change of fabric varieties, the elimination of old machines and the stabilization of financial policies in the import market of major international textile machinery, the demand for 3 types of high-speed rapier looms, water looms and air-jet looms has increased to varying degrees in the first three quarters of 2018.

Specifically, the upgrading and upgrading of old machines and the development of high-grade fabrics have led to the growth of high-speed rapier looms. The old machine eliminated and the fabric varieties developed towards light weight and heavy ends, which led to the growth of water jet looms; the replacement of backward machines, the upgrading and diversification of fabric varieties, the strengthening of the implementation of national environmental policies and the continuous growth of demand for industrial textiles led to a significant increase in air-jet looms.

In addition, the export of jet looms and air-jet looms has improved in the first three quarters of 2018 with the recovery of the financial policies of the major international textile machinery import market. The demand for common rapier looms decreased in international main import markets, resulting in a decrease in export of common rapier looms.

Trend prediction In 2019, the main development and innovation trend of new weaving weaving technology and products will be energy saving, equipment modification, quality improvement and differential innovation. Weaving enterprises will further focus on weaving equipment that can improve workers' labor intensity and working environment. At the same time, there will be a lot of market space for the high-end components. In addition, with the continuous upgrading of environmental protection requirements and the further adjustment of downstream enterprise product mix, the demand for high-end products will continue to increase.

With the maturity of the vortex spinning technology and the extension of the spinning range, the sizing process has been gradually improved and standardized. The rising of the market of high count, high density and wide breadth home textile products has higher quality requirements for warp sizing. The level of domestic weaving preparation has been greatly improved. More attention has been paid to on-line monitoring and precise control of production process, and the control system has developed towards intelligence.

Some weaving enterprises in charge said that in 2019, the weaving equipment to improve the labor intensity and working environment of workers could meet the needs of new fields, new demands and equipment for optimizing the industrial structure. Weaving equipment with the advantages of energy saving, low emission, low consumption and low carbon, and weaving equipment with continuous, automatic, efficient and modular functions were the focus of their attention. For example, from the perspective of technical parameters, the design speed of domestic warping machine has reached 1200 m / min, reaching the international advanced level. The multi unit transmission technology of the sizing machine has been widely applied. The establishment of the intelligent process system and the production process indicators and other information networking have made great progress in the application of lean manufacturing, intellectualization, and information production management.

In the international market, driven by the trend of China's textile and garment industry continuing to move to Southeast Asia, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Vietnam and Pakistan have maintained high demand for weaving machinery. However, after the high-speed output in the past two years, the demand for rapier looms and water looms will be stable.

Overall, the weaving machinery industry will still run smoothly in 2019. But when we need to pay attention to, industrial transfer makes water jet looms and air-jet looms demand vigorously. The price fluctuation of raw materials has struck the confidence of users. The economic situation has been complicated to reduce people's expectations of the market, and it is suggested that the relevant enterprises should do well in coping with them.

Knitting machinery

Expand development space around personality fashion

Data snapshot In the first three quarters of 2018, the three main types of knitting machines, flat knitting machines, circular weft knitting machines and warp knitting machines, all worked steadily. Among them, the sales volume of circular weft knitting machine was about 15000 in the first three quarters of 2018, a decrease of 11% compared with the same period last year. In the same period, the export volume of China's circular knitting machine industry was 162 million US dollars, down 11.7% from the same period last year. In the first three quarters of 2018, sales of computerized flat knitting machines were about 135000 units. The sales of single computer flat knitting machines dropped by about 43% compared to the same period last year. The sales of dual computer flat knitting machines increased by about 21% over the same period last year.

In the first three quarters of 2018, the export volume of flat knitting machine was 184 million US dollars, an increase of 8.5% compared with the same period last year, and the import amount was 133 million US dollars, down 43.6% from the same period last year. The export volume of warp knitting machine was US $67 million, an increase of 9.6% over the same period last year, and the import amount was $35 million, a decrease of 52.1% over the same period last year. The export volume of the 2 circular knitting machine was 162 million US dollars, down 11.7% from the same period last year, and the import amount was 54 million US dollars, up 3.2% over the same period last year.

Operation analysis In the first three quarters of 2018, the three main types of knitting machines, flat knitting machines, circular weft knitting machines and warp knitting machines, all worked steadily.

After rapid development in recent years, the flat knitting machine has been slowing down since the third quarter after its continued growth in production and sales in the first half of this year. Affected by the downstream market, the single computer flat knitting machine of the sweater market is flat. However, the high machine number fine needle flat knitting machine and the fully formed computerized flat knitting machine are continuously concerned by the enterprises. As the main growth point of computer flat knitting machine market in recent years, the shoe machine has continued the good growth trend of last year. The downstream market saturation of lace machine led to a slight decrease in sales and sales. Double needle bed warp knitting machine market is relatively stable, sales and sales steadily increase. The double needle bed warp knitting machine with high speed, wide width and jacquard is more popular in the market.

Circular weft machine industry is in good condition in the first half of the year, but orders were significantly reduced in the third quarter under the influence of the international trade environment. The total sales volume in the first three quarters decreased year by year. The domestic market is dominated by ordinary single and double sided computers, and the computer jacquard circular machine market is stable. More and more users prefer high pitch fine pitch models, mainly for swimsuit and other fabrics. In addition, the overseas market of circular knitting machines performed poorly in the third quarter, and the export orders of most domestic circular knitting machines decreased.

In the first three quarters of 2018, the number of Bangladesh exports of computerized flat knitting machines was still the highest in the first quarter of 2018, but it was significantly lower than that of the previous year. The export volume of Vietnam, India, Turkey and Kampuchea increased year by year, of which Vietnam ranked second, and the amount of exports to Italy declined year by year.

The overall operation of warp knitting machine industry in the first three quarters also slowed down. The amount of warp knitting machines exported to India, Turkey and Indonesia increased year by year, and the amount of exports to Vietnam and Korea declined year by year.

Trend prediction In 2019, with the further pursuit of individuation and fashion, the knitting machinery also has broad prospects for development. From the perspective of the development of enterprises, knitting machinery enterprises pay more and more attention to differentiated innovation and personalized demand to meet the needs of special varieties, attach importance to independent research and development and intellectual property protection, and move towards "high precision" and intelligent manufacturing and interconnection. Enterprises are also more concerned about the overall development of the industry, and the operation of enterprises is more rational and more focused on technological innovation. Most enterprises are optimistic about the future development expectations.

In order to satisfy personalized customization and short process production, the flat knitting machine will develop towards higher production speed. The manufacturing technology level of knitting computerized flat knitting machine has been improved continuously, and the technology such as quick turning of the head, dynamic density, zero shift of needle bed, zero waiting and multi needle distance have been gradually improved. At the same time, the parts of computerized flat knitting machines are being improved step by step. For example, the self-propelled yarn guiding device is controlled by stepping motor program, which can reduce the number of head movements, shorten the weaving time and improve the weaving efficiency.

The development trend of knitting circular weft knitting machine is embodied in the following two aspects: first, the knitting machine weft knitting machine develops towards practicality and fabric quality improvement. On the one hand, it develops further fine pitch or coarse pitch models according to the different uses of fabrics, and on the other hand, considering the practicability, reliability, stability and quality of the fabrics processed, circular knitting machine manufacturers no longer pursue high machine numbers. Secondly, the computer controlled circular knitting machine has diversified development: first, the double-sided computer jacquard machine with both needle and needle can be electronically selected; two, it integrates the technology of electronic needle selection, shifting and adjusting line on a machine, so that the computer weft knitting machine can produce more patterns. In addition, double / single computer jacquard line machine has appeared on the market. The new self selecting electromagnetic needle selector without needles can be used to select three working points for needles, which is beneficial to the use of one machine, producing more kinds of single / double faced jacquard fabric and reducing the cost of product development. It is worth noting that because of the popularity of the sports shoe market, more and more equipment manufacturers are developing and producing double sided multi pin road machines for weaving sports shoes.

The development of warp knitting machine is mainly manifested in the application of low energy consumption production technology, the application of Internet technology, the difference of width and configuration of warp knitting machine, the further research of high speed, and the gradual maturity of intelligent detection technology. The mainstream warp knitting equipment is equipped with remote operation control function control system, and some parts support mobile phone APP operation function. After connecting to the network, the operation and control data of the warp knitting machine can be remotely accessed, operated and managed. The high speed of warp knitting will continue to be the research direction of warp knitted rotor for a period of time.

In addition, the "one-step" hosiery machine in the industry is more hot. As a device that can improve production efficiency and product quality and even add value, it is also a product that the socks manufacturers are concerned about and expecting. Related hosiery enterprises strive to locate high-end products and achieve industrial upgrading through continuous innovation. Industry experts said that if the domestic hosiery machine enterprises have a breakthrough in technology, the market will be huge.

Overall, the key technology and key equipment of China's knitting machinery industry will be tackled continuously in 2019, and the overall equipment technology will be improved rapidly. However, the design, manufacture, integration, modularization and automation level of the knitting machinery enterprises need to be improved.

Dyeing and finishing machinery

Environmental intelligence is still the top priority

Data snapshot In the first three quarters of 2018, sales of various types of printing and dyeing machines were brisk, especially those with good energy saving and emission reduction and high level of numerical control. Among them, the rotary screen printing machine sold 162 units in 1~9 month, unchanged from the same period last year, and the total sales volume of the machine reached nearly 1000 units in 1~9 month this year.

In terms of import and export, the total import value of printing and dyeing finishing machinery in the first three quarters of 2018 was 320 million yuan, down 3.7% from the same period last year, and the total export amount was 520 million yuan, up 18.32% from the same period last year.

Operation analysis In the first three quarters of 2018, the domestic printing and dyeing machinery industry had a good overall development, and the sales of various types of machines were strong, especially the equipment with good energy saving and emission reduction and high numerical control level.

Among them, the low bath ratio intermittent dyeing equipment caters to the increasingly serious environmental protection situation, and the market is in good condition. High efficient and water-saving knitted fabric pretreatment and finishing technology has gradually matured, the market demand has been strong, and maintained the growth trend in recent two years, and the equipment manufacturing enterprises generally responded well. Digital inkjet printing equipment has the advantages of rapid market response, rich color, customizable production and friendly environment. It has attracted more and more attention from downstream users. The main business revenue of some digital inkjet printing equipment enterprises has increased by 10% over the same period last year. The output of traditional flat screen printing machines and rotary screen printing machines fluctuated and overall remained stable. There is still a strong demand for the machine. In the first three quarters, the total sales volume of the machine was nearly 1000, but the homogenization tendency of the products was serious.

In the international market, the rise of textile industry in neighboring countries has accelerated the outward transfer of China's low-end printing and dyeing industry, and has also brought new markets to domestic printing and dyeing machinery manufacturing enterprises. In the first three quarters of 2018, the top five export countries and regions of textile machinery were Vietnam, Bangladesh, India, the United States and Indonesia, accounting for 46.57% of the total export volume. The provinces with the most printing and dyeing finishing equipment are Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Guangdong provinces, accounting for about 90% of the total exports.

Overall, the domestic market of printing and dyeing machinery in the first three quarters of 2018 was stable and the export grew rapidly. In the current environmental policy and economic situation, constantly improving the quality of products and actively expanding overseas markets are important directions for the future development of printing and dyeing and finishing equipment manufacturing enterprises in China.

Trend prediction The automation level, energy saving and emission reduction effect and manufacturing quality of domestic printing and dyeing equipment have been steadily improved. Many new CNC printing and dyeing equipment has reached the international advanced level, and the market share has reached over 85%. However, the industry development still faces 4 difficulties: efficient and short process equipment development, less cross domain technology R & D projects, blind development, low stability and durability.

Li Yi, vice president of China Textile Machinery Association, believes that in order to standardize the industry order, manufacturing quality, process adaptability and success rate increase are always the goal of printing and dyeing machinery development. Green environmental protection is the main line of printing and dyeing machinery development, and the upgrading of domestic printing and dyeing equipment industry, environmental protection, energy saving, digital monitoring and intellectualization become the most important development of printing and dyeing machinery.

As for the development of printing and dyeing machinery, with the resolution of tension control and knitted fabric curling, knitted fabric continuous rinse and washing equipment will replace some intermittent equipment. There are still opportunities for development of such equipment market. The rotary screen printing machine will still be the mainstream printing equipment. 90% of the printed cloth is produced by rotary screen printing machine and peace screen printing machine. These two types of equipment market is mature, the output is stable, and there is little room for entry. The scope of application of the width setting machine extends from traditional woven fabric to knitted fabric, nonwoven fabric and other kinds of fabrics, coupled with the renewal demand of environmental protection pressure. In recent years, the market demand is large, and it is expected to maintain 1200 units per year or even higher in the next 3 years. However, due to the rising demand, many enterprises have entered the manufacturing field of the drawing machine, and the phenomenon of overcapacity has appeared. Intermittent dyeing equipment will continue to develop low water consumption technology for low bath ratio technology and after dyeing process. However, due to the higher processing accuracy of the equipment, the complex and changeable dyeing process and the high requirements of users, the new entry will adapt to the long cycle.

In terms of printing and dyeing numerical control system and intelligent auxiliary equipment, numerical control technology improves the ability of traditional dyeing and printing equipment, is conducive to energy saving and emission reduction, improves product quality and prospects for development. In the real-time printing system, the rotary screen printing machine adopts machine vision technology to keep the fabric in the printing process accurately; the digital energy consumption monitoring system of the setting machine can make the energy reasonably use and ensure the fabric processing quality; the automatic distribution technology and products of dyes and auxiliaries can effectively reduce chemical pollution; the continuous pad dyeing equipment is equipped with a numerical control device to accurately control the tension of the fabric, and accurately monitor the consumption of water and electricity.

With regard to digital printing equipment, with the increasing number of customized textile products entering into people's lives, the output of digital printed cloth has increased year by year, and the output of digital inkjet printing machine has increased rapidly, and the joint opportunity of digital inkjet printing + circular (horizontal) network has gradually entered the market. It should be noted that although the development of digital inkjet printing machine is fast, but the printing speed and printing cost are limited, the total output of digital printing cloth is still not high enough to replace traditional printing.

Generally speaking, the improvement of manufacturing quality, process adaptability and success rate is always the goal of printing and dyeing machinery development. Green environmental protection is the main line of printing and dyeing machinery development. The application of numerical control and intelligent technology will effectively enhance the ability of traditional machinery, and the progress of dyeing and printing technology will determine the future of printing and dyeing technology, and may also change the direction of printing and dyeing machinery development.

Operation analysis : According to the statistics of China Textile Machinery Association, the overall sales volume of spinning machinery shows a downward trend, which is consistent with the prosperity index of cotton textile industry. In addition to the rapid growth of rotor spinning machines, the sales volume of ring spinning frame, roving frame, drawing frame, comber, carding machine and winding machine decreased to varying degrees, indicating that the users still keep the heat to the short process equipment. With the high speed of short process equipment and the wide range of suitable spinning materials, the advantages of spinning can be more and more high, and the advantages will be more obvious. From the breakdown of statistical data, the proportion of self finisher drawing frames, roving frames with collective doffing, spinning frames and compact spinning devices increased year by year, which indicates that spinning enterprises attach more importance to automation, continuity and intellectualization of equipment, and textile products have become a normal form of individuation, variety and variety.

In addition, in recent years, the technology of spinning machine has improved significantly, the speed and output have been improved, and the cost performance is more in line with the needs of the market. Since 2018, the spinning machinery enterprises have continued to give full play to their own technological advantages, popularized the latest technology, combined with the intelligent spinning production line, high precision traveller, high precision steel collar and other products (system) through the identification of scientific and technological achievements, and the main technical performance has reached the international advanced level.

Trend prediction : With the increasing demand for yarn quality and the increasing cost of labor, spinning machinery accelerates along the road of intellectualization. On the basis of improving the quality and reliability of equipment manufacturing, continuous and intellectualized is the major trend of spinning machinery and equipment development. Industry experts say that spinning machinery not only needs to be intellectualized on a single device, but also needs to achieve unmanned convergence in all parts of the entire spinning process.

In recent years, cotton spinning equipment has been developing towards high yield, high speed, automation, continuous and informationalization. Based on the continuous improvement of the monitoring and management technology of the Internet platform, the "spinning intelligent factory" has taken shape. The spinning machinery realizes the on-line detection, automatic control, automatic adjustment and network monitoring of the production process parameters, and realizes the highly automated spinning production. Instead of simple manual manual operation in textile production, the automatic transmission and automatic connection of the barrel, roving and combed cotton rolls are realized by accurate mechanical automatic action, and the online monitoring and intelligent management and remote diagnosis have become the mainstream of the industry development.

In 2019, the field of spinning machinery will further intensify its research and development efforts and develop a new generation of high-end cotton spinning equipment, which will meet users' individual needs in terms of refinement, efficiency, reliability, and spinnability. The application of modern information network and digital technology and expert system will continue to push forward, and gradually develop to realize online detection, display, automatic control, automatic regulation and network monitoring of process parameters in textile production process. On the other hand, the continuous process of spinning production will have more room for development. The equipment that has functions such as automatic conveying and automatic joint of roving, roving and combed cotton rolls, and the equipment that can realize centralized control of automatic winder, automatic yarn conveying and self moving packaging in winding process will be more welcomed by spinning enterprises.

In addition, the intelligent logistics system based on automated three-dimensional warehouse will effectively solve the problem of insufficient efficiency in the logistics process, and intelligent logistics system can reduce staff and increase efficiency, greatly reduce human cost, at the same time, it is accurate and efficient, so that quality and output can be improved simultaneously to help enterprises transform and upgrade. In the next stage of development, the intelligent logistics system will deeply integrate the B2B and B2C business platforms to help enterprises achieve customized production. And industrial big data integration, better prediction and judgement of market demand, analysis of user needs, maximize the value chain. To promote supplier collaboration, achieve supply chain integration, make supply chain more efficient, more flexible and agile to adapt to the changing needs of the market.

It should be noted that at present, the application level of information technology such as Internet of things, ERP and so on in the whole process and industrial chain management of spinning enterprises needs to be improved. More than 90% of our spinning equipment has not yet been installed on-line monitoring system such as production, energy and quality. The textile information market has broad prospects.

Chemical fibre machinery

Digital automatic equipment is concerned

Data snapshot : According to incomplete statistics of China Textile Machinery Association, the shipment volume of filament spinning machine (polyester, nylon) was around 7500 spinning in the first three quarters of 2018, an increase of 63.04% compared with the same period last year. In the first three quarters of 2018, the sales volume of high speed machine was about 1500 units, an increase of 36.36% compared with the same period in 2017. In addition, in the first three quarters of 2018, the new capacity of PET staple fiber equipment reached 360 thousand tons, and the new production capacity of viscose staple fiber equipment reached about 600 thousand tons.

For import and export, the import and export volume of chemical fiber machinery and auxiliary equipment and spare parts in the first three quarters of 2018 amounted to US $875 million. Among them, imports amounted to about $643 million, an increase of 114.83% over the previous year, and exports of about $232 million, up 71.48% from the previous year. Among them, the import amount of chemical fiber machinery and auxiliary equipment and spare parts is about 643 million US dollars, the main importing countries of chemical fiber machinery are Japan and Germany; the export amount of chemical fiber machinery and auxiliary devices and spare parts is US $232 million, and the main exporting countries are India, Vietnam, Turkey, Indonesia and so on.

Operation analysis With the increase of investment in the chemical fiber industry, the demand for chemical fiber machinery is increasing.

In the first three quarters of 2018, the domestic chemical fiber machinery market performed well. Compared with the same period in 2017, the production and sales volume of filament spinning machine and high-speed elastic machine increased. Although the order increment in the fourth quarter has slowed down, it will not have a greater impact on the operation of the whole year. In addition, the user enterprises in the automation transformation efforts intensified, but also led to the development of chemical fiber filament automatic roll down, packaging and logistics storage equipment market.

Trend prediction 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, digitalization and control of intellectualization, high precision and reliability of production equipment. In particular, while refining the conventional products, we should pay attention to developing equipment and complete sets of engineering technology matching with special fiber and functional fiber technology, so as to reduce consumption and reduce pollution.

In order to meet the need of transformation and upgrading of chemical fiber enterprises, chemical fiber machinery and equipment are developing in terms of energy conservation, consumption reduction, recyclability and intellectualization, so as to realize the automation of the whole process and realize the digital automatic control of the filament production line. Domestic chemical fiber machinery and equipment also has new development in data acquisition, data interoperability and other aspects, and the gap with similar products abroad is also gradually narrowing. In terms of intelligent manufacturing, by developing intelligent manufacturing equipment and production lines, the establishment of digitalized and information-based intelligent workshop is gradually realizing the automation of whole process automation and product quality traceability from spinning, cartridge, roll appearance inspection, packaging, warehousing and logistics.

Industry experts said that the era of expanding the scale growth mode in the chemical fiber industry has passed, the new capacity projects have been reduced, and the demand for chemical fiber equipment has also declined. Despite the fact that conventional chemical fiber equipment is unsalable, functional, differentiated and high quality chemical fiber equipment has been gradually favored by manufacturing enterprises. More and more domestic and foreign chemical fiber enterprises pay attention to the development of production equipment toward refinement, high-yield, digitalization and control of intellectualization, high precision and reliability. In addition to refining conventional products, we focus on developing special equipment and complete sets of engineering technology with special fiber and functional fiber technology to meet the needs of users and achieve the goal of improving quality, increasing efficiency, reducing consumption and reducing pollution.

Intelligent detection is the development focus of chemical fiber machinery industry. The development of on-line intelligent detection of wire in spinning, on-line intelligent detection of rigid wire in cartridge, on-line intelligent detection of wire tension, intelligent detection of roll appearance quality, automatic detection system of physical and chemical properties, etc. should arouse the attention of enterprises.

With regard to polyester staple fiber equipment, with the increasing shortage of oil resources and the rise of labor costs, the direct spinning large capacity short staple fiber plant will enter a period of low profit, and the short fiber equipment with more concise structure, more flexible functions, more advanced energy saving and emission reduction targets and cost-effective will become the main direction of development. High efficiency and energy saving short staple equipment will be the mainstream of the development of the industry. Its automation level, equipment operation rate and labor productivity are all high, and energy consumption and material consumption are relatively low, the product quality is stable, and the market share will also remain high in line with the production demand of bulk products.

In terms of chemical fiber filament equipment, product development of domestic and foreign production enterprises should focus on optimizing energy, efficiency and equipment functionality. On the one hand, saving energy and reducing consumption, reducing costs and improving the profits of products; on the other hand, through differential design to enhance the competitiveness of products.

In the aspect of special components of chemical fiber equipment, the development trend of the winder is stable, compact, efficient and energy saving, showing a long chuck and a large number of bobbins with a single chuck. The long chuck puts forward higher requirements for the mechanical design and mechanical vibration of the winding machine, and at the same time, it is also more difficult in the manufacturing process and manufacturing accuracy, and the increase in bobbin number is also the trend of development.

Overall, with the increase of investment in domestic chemical fiber enterprises, the market order of chemical fiber machinery in 2019 is expected to increase steadily.

Nonwoven machinery

Large capacity production line needs Seek steady improvement

Data snapshot According to incomplete statistics of China Textile Machinery Association, after entering the third quarter of 2018, the domestic market demand for nonwoven machinery showed a downward trend. Needle line sales were about 140, of which nearly 6 were more than 6 meters wide, 20 meters wide, 3 meters wide, ~6 lines were over 50, and Spunlaced lines sold over 30, all down by 30% over the same period in 2017. Spunbonded and spinning fusion production lines sold more than 40, representing an increase of nearly 20% over the same period in 2017.

Operation analysis Research shows that most nonwoven user enterprises are in a wait-and-see state for market development. The reasons for the lower users' wait-and-see mood are mainly from two aspects. First, the changes in the macroeconomic trend of the country, from "steady progress" to "steady and steady change", and the increasing uncertainties. An obvious example is the automotive interior market, which is directly affected by the automobile industry. Second, the downstream market needs to digest the surge in capacity over the past two years, and the massive release of capacity has a strong inhibitory effect on new investment. In addition, the rising prices of raw materials also inhibited some enterprises' investment intentions. However, due to the acceleration of the scale and intensification of downstream enterprises, the rapid growth of demand for medical and health materials, and the emergence of new technologies and new products, the spunbonded / spinning nonwoven machinery is relatively stable.

From the feedback information of key enterprises, downstream users are more cautious in new investment, at least in the first half of 2019, the order situation is not optimistic. In line with the national industrial policy and differentiated and personalized nonwoven products, the production line is relatively stable, such as geo workers, filtering materials, pure cotton Spunlaced and so on.

Facing the severe market situation, we can see from the R & D emphasis of enterprises that the vast majority of enterprises pursue high speed and high yield in the direction of new product development. The single line production capacity has an increase of about 20% compared with the previous two years. On the other hand, through the application of intellectualization and digitalization technology, the function of individuation and differentiation of nonwoven products has been broken through. In addition, the industry's attention to overseas markets is constantly improving. As long as we do well in internal strength, the domestic nonwoven machinery industry will have stronger strength to face the challenges of the two international and domestic markets.

Trend prediction Benefiting from the rapid development of industrial textiles and nonwovens industry, domestic nonwoven machinery has achieved remarkable results in the development of high-speed, high performance, high quality, continuous, automation and information technology. The conventional nonwoven product line has basically achieved national production, and some of the equipment has reached the international leading level.

In recent years, the introduction of a series of new equipment has provided the most favorable technical support for the whole nonwoven industry to increase efficiency and develop new products, and has opened up a new market for nonwoven machinery enterprises. The key enterprises in the development of large capacity production line at the same time increased the demand for personalized development, research and development of flexible production equipment and investment, hot air production line has become a new industry hot spot, the bristle machine in the market is saturated with the grim situation, is also improving the performance and technical level of the single machine, hair loss and other indicators have improved. For example, the speed of the special high-speed carding machine can reach more than 300 m / minute; the feeding speed of the cross paving machine reaches 200 m / min; the airflow net forming technology is combined with the jet mesh process to produce the high elongation soft wipe; the new dry forming head is suitable for many kinds of fibers.

Although the domestic nonwovens machinery has covered all kinds of Nonwovens Technology, there is still a certain gap with the advanced level of the world in terms of equipment stability, automation and intelligence. Among them, the lack of theoretical research and the lack of key core technologies remain the biggest bottleneck in developing high-end nonwovens. The development of domestic nonwoven machinery, both in engineering design and equipment design, lacks theoretical research support, and does not grasp the key core technologies. This makes the gap between design and actual production bigger, which restricts the rapid upgrading of equipment technology.

Overall, in 2019, the development trend of nonwoven equipment is large scale, high yield and high speed, and further individuation and intellectualization. On the one hand, a new type of rewinding and splitting equipment for nonwovens production has attracted wide attention. On the other hand, it draws lessons from other industries such as paper making, chemical fiber and other industries to develop automatic packaging and logistics production lines suitable for nonwovens production. Related enterprises pay more attention to energy conservation and recycling of resources. Equipment should be more energy efficient and water-saving, and waste should be recycled and reused more. In addition, more and more entrepreneurs are trying to improve their original technology while increasing the training of professional and technical personnel. This has also become an irreversible trend in the development of the industry.

From the point of view of the field, the market potential of the 5 categories of materials, such as medical and health protection, environmental protection, filtration and separation, geomembrane materials and vehicle materials, is huge, and the corresponding mechanical development will be relatively stable. For example, the growing market demand for health care products has brought about a very broad market space and is expected to continue to grow in the coming period. This will also drive the spunlace complete equipment process configuration more rationalization, standardization and modularization. The connection between the units will be more compact, lower energy consumption and higher production capacity, and the whole set of equipment will be energy-saving and effective. Combining spunlace technology with spinning and melting process, developing spunlace equipment with high automation and energy saving and emission reduction is expected to become a hot spot for future development.

Overall, the inertia of the domestic nonwoven machinery industry will continue to develop steadily, but enterprises should rationally analyze the existing orders, arrange production reasonably, and avoid difficult delivery.
