The
forged steel gate valve industry is an important branch of general machinery. As the key equipment of fluid control, its products are widely used in petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, electric power, urban construction, environmental protection and other industries. At present, the forged steel
gate valve industry is in a very favorable development environment. There are some reasons accounting for it as follows:
First, the state-owned economy develops sustainably. And the investment in fixed assets has gradually expanded. In particular, a large number of
forged steel gate valves products need to be produced in the projects of "West to East", "West to East" and "South to North Water Diversion".
Second, after China's accession to the WTO, the threshold of international trade has dropped and the product structure of developed countries has been adjusted. China has gradually become the largest processing plant in the world. As a result, the processing and production of
forged gate valves are facing greater development space.
Then, how to seize this strategic opportunity to speed up the development of the
forging steel gate valve industry? Industry professionals analyze it in the following ways:
First, we should actively promote the joint reorganization of enterprises and establish a number of large enterprise groups as soon as possible.
At present, there are about 5,000 manufacturers in the
forged steel gate valve industry, with an annual sales revenue of more than 50 million. The domestic market share is only less than 1% of the remaining 2% of the company. Compared with the same industry, international competition is more difficult. In order to change this situation as soon as possible, the most effective way is to realize capital expansion through joint business, merger and reorganization, further expand market share and remain invincible in the competition. This is a popular practice in the international economic field, and also the future development direction of the
forged steel gate valve industry. On this issue of emancipating the mind, according to the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, "there should be new breakthroughs in reform and development of new ideas", which broke the boundaries of regional, ownership and traditional division of labor. As long as there are joint ventures between enterprises, we can try our best to create a number of enterprise groups with an output value of more than 500 million yuan or one billion yuan in three to five years.
Second, we should pay attention to the adjustment of product structure, be brave in technological innovation and develop products with high added value and international leading level.
China's
forged steel gate valve manufacturers have been able to produce more than 10 products, such as forged steel gate valves, stop valves, butterfly valves, safety valves, throttle valves, pressure reducing valves, drain valves, emergency shut-off valves and solenoid valves. The maximum temperature is 570 ℃, and the minimum one is -196 ℃. The maximum pressure is 600Mpa. The maximum diameter is 5,350mm. Although these products strongly contribute to domestic economic construction, we should clearly see that most of our products are technical or labor-intensive, and rarely have an international advanced level. Recently, we have been bidding for the main line of Xidong. It is a pity that we have a forged steel gate valve business. The forging steel door industry should develop into the implementation of technical innovation, adjust the product structure, try to develop the forged steel gate valve products with international advanced level, such as control forged steel gate valves and automatic forged steel gate valves, three-way confluence three-way directional valves and safety valves. The metal seal of forged steel gate valves is all welded with high parameters and large diameters.
There are several ways to carry out the research and development of new product technology innovation. One way is that we can do it through scientific research institutions, such as Kaifeng high-pressure
forged steel gate valves factory and the "3D" company of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The main steam control valves of the power plant boiler is a world leading product, and its "pressure drop" is far lower than the international power industry standard, which has a great prospect. The second way is the form of foreign cooperation or technology introduction. Zigong High Pressure Forged Steel Valve Co., Ltd. and Simbelian of Italy cooperate to shorten the gap with foreign forged steel valve products. In addition to the above ways, qualified enterprises can develop products independently.
