Drying equipment is a relatively mature technology in China's machinery industry. However, with the development of society, customers are increasingly demanding equipment, automation, and environmental assessment are all on the agenda. Especially in the food industry, the requirements for drying equipment are even more stringent.
At present, domestic drying equipment companies are still relatively small compared to foreign companies. Moreover, the technology reserves are insufficient and the means of processing equipment are somewhat primitive. The threshold for entry is relatively low, and ordinary workers can start a business. This is also the reason for the large number of companies. In addition, downstream users have a wide range of demand for drying equipment, high-end, low-end products are needed, and small and medium-sized drying equipment companies also have room for survival. Of course, the small and medium-sized drying equipment companies will certainly be greatly affected once the downstream demand has large fluctuations.
In the international competition, the main competitors of China's drying equipment manufacturers are Denmark, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, and Japan. Comparing with competitors, the advantage of drying equipment in China is low price. The main disadvantage is that the degree of automatic control, appearance quality, completeness of the product, and functional combination need to be further improved. Therefore, companies should make great efforts to improve the market competitiveness of enterprises, further expand the scale of the company, and further upgrade the quality and technology.
As the process of economic globalization accelerates, more multinational companies will shift their goals to the Chinese market. The increasingly fierce competition requires that our enterprises must improve their product quality through technological advancement, the absorption of advanced foreign technology, and independent innovation. The idea of ​​product development should focus on the large-scale equipment, the degree of automation of control, the surface treatment quality of equipment, and the selection of corrosion-resistant materials, and develop multi-functional combined machines to promote the continuous extension of the product life cycle. Industry associations should organize more enterprises to participate in international technical exchanges, absorb the latest technological achievements, and accelerate the improvement of the industry-wide technology level.
Under the fierce competition model, China's drying equipment industry must take the road of strong alliances, and cultivate large companies with strong technical strength, well-known brands, and independent intellectual property rights in the industry. At the same time, it can consider joint ventures, cooperation, and acquisitions. Transformation.
Overall, however, the rapid development of dryers is worthy of joy. It shows from a certain aspect that the machinery industry has recovered. At present, the conventional drying equipment in the domestic market and the main drying equipment in the international market are basically manufactured in China. This shows that the history of import-oriented drying equipment in China has ended.
Of course, in the next development process, the development of dryer equipment should also pay attention to energy saving and comprehensive energy utilization, such as adopting various joint heating methods, transplanting heat pump and heat pipe technology, and developing solar dryers; The automatic control technology of the cylinder dryer ensures the realization of optimal operating conditions. In addition, as humans attach importance to environmental protection, improve the environmental protection measures of the tumble dryer to reduce the leakage of dust and exhaust gas, etc. It is a direction that needs further study.
Technological innovation is a major trend in social development. Only standing in the forefront of technological upgrading can lead the market. While enhancing confidence in development, we must also maintain a clear-headed mind, recognize the inadequacies that exist in the industry, learn from each other's weaknesses, and gradually make the dryer move toward zero-defect development.
Dryer is often simple and reliable structure, the more cost-effective equipment has a powerful vitality, such as professional American ADC dryer is to strive for a simple structure. The rotary design of the dryer is one of the important links that embodies this “simple and reliable†design concept. The dryers at home and abroad are different in the design of the rotary structure, and many types of dryers have been separated through continuous evolution. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Dryer machine is mainly composed of rotary body, lifting plate, transmission device, support device and sealing ring. It has the advantages of reasonable structure, excellent production, high output, low energy consumption and convenient operation.
The domestic dryer technology has been maintaining a steady state, there is no obvious development and changes. However, due to the large energy consumption of dryers, with the increasing shortage of energy in recent years, new technologies for improving the efficiency of dryers have been vigorously developed in Europe, America, Japan, and other advanced countries. New types of energy-efficient dryers such as Axial air circulation type, automatic adjustment of speed type, smart dryer control type, etc. have been rapidly promoted and popularized, which is the inevitable trend of such equipment in the future development.
