The future development trend of textile machinery

In recent years, China's textile machinery industry has rapidly developed along with the textile industry and has become the world's largest textile machinery manufacturing country. Energy conservation, environmental protection, and high efficiency are the directions for the sustainable development of the dyeing and finishing industry in the 21st century. New technologies such as short flow and automation technology, unprinted plate printing, low-temperature plasma processing, and waterless processing technology are the development trends of future dyeing and finishing machinery.

Therefore, automation technology should be widely used in the future. The transmission system adopts AC variable frequency multi-unit synchronous speed control system. In the control system, programmable controller (PLC) or industrial computer control (IPC) is widely used, and the online monitoring of parameters is universally applied. The degree of automation of dyeing and finishing equipment has greatly improved the process stability and reproducibility.

Although China's textile machinery manufacturing level has improved rapidly and its gap with the international community has shrunk, foreign manufacturers have been accelerating the process of localized manufacturing in China in order to reduce costs and increase market share, and have established operating agencies in China. Improve rapid response capabilities and provide full-service solutions, while international manufacturers have also emerged a trend of strong alliances.

At present, the size of China's textile machinery enterprises is generally small, and the technical content of products is low. Although companies do a lot, they are not strong enough, they are not specialized, they are not good, and their survivability and anti-crisis capabilities are very limited. The number of home-made equipment on the Chinese textile machinery market accounted for 80%, but the sales accounted for less than 50%. At the time of the financial crisis, textile machinery companies will struggle.

A few days ago, German textile machinery manufacturers are pursuing sustainability initiatives and actions that focus on energy efficiency and environmental protection initiated by the German Federation of Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers. "Blue energy efficiency" is an international symbol of sustainable solutions in the field of equipment and engineering." The blue energy efficiency concept represents economics, environmental protection and social responsibility.

Under this concept, the machinery industry uses smart technologies to provide specific solutions for saving resources and saving efficiency. This is a concept that China's textile machinery should learn from, avoiding the situation where textile machinery manufacturers claim to be energy-saving advanced equipment, but there is no real standard at all. At present, it is the focus of the textile enterprises to increase automation and intelligence in consideration of energy conservation, and it is also the focus of the future development of textile machinery. At the same time, achieving energy-saving in the textile processing process is also one of the hallmarks of advanced equipment.

The market demand provides the impetus for the transformation, upgrading and technological innovation of textile machinery enterprises. Textile companies need the most energy-efficient equipment. In the future development of textile enterprises, whoever masters high-end technology, possesses advanced equipment, and maintains certain sustainable development capabilities, whoever will be able to stand invincible in the future competition. At present, textile companies are generally faced with the problem of “recruitment difficulties” and rising labor costs year by year. Therefore, improving the efficiency of textile machinery, saving energy, and saving labor have become an inevitable requirement for textile companies and an inevitable trend for the development of textile machinery and equipment. Textile machinery manufacturers should increase R&D investment and technological innovation, accelerate the transition from “manufacturing” to “creation” and realize the upgrading of traditional textile machinery and equipment.
