China's old machine tool market has great potential for development

According to people in the industry, old machine tools are remanufactured, and most of the machine tool components can be used in innovative ways. The cost of remanufacturing will only need to produce 30% of the same type of equipment. According to calculations, at present, China’s machine tools with a service age of more than 10 years account for more than 60%. In the next 5 to 10 years, these machine tools will be able to face overhaul promotion, even functional scrapping or skill reduction, and then constitute a fairly planned reincarnation application. Remanufacture potential capital.

At the National Symposium on the Remanufacturing of Machine Tool Remanufacturing held in Wuhan not long ago, Deputy Director Wang Xiao of the Comprehensive Department of Energy Saving and Integrated Applications Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, China is a major consumer of electromechanical equipment manufacturing, and current remanufacturing industry was once unknown. There was a fundamental investigation into the industry, but the views of companies and users on remanufacturing are still relatively simple. Under the circumstances of China's market equipment capital, the key to the remanufacturing industry lies in the market. Relevant parts should actively guide enterprises and support the development of the industry, and expand market capacity within a short time. ”

China is the largest machine tool consumer market in the world. Currently, it has about 8 million machine tools. According to the international general cut rate of 3%, about 250,000 old machine tools are cut every year, and its total metal weight exceeds 1.5 million tons. It is estimated that during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, China will have 900,000 machine tools needed for remanufacturing.

Logistics, finance and taxation urgently needed policies to support the establishment of a logistics system for scrap machinery in China. It is still in its infancy. There are no smooth channels for accepting old machine tools and selling remanufactured machine tools. Cao Huajun of Chongqing University has taught for many years the continued existence of machine tool remanufacturing assets. He thought: “Europe and the United States have formed a relatively perfect old logistics system, and remanufacturers have taken over the use of old machine tools through various channels to evaluate their value and rejuvenate. After the design and manufacturing are completed, they are marked with 'remanufacturing' and sold from the new market, which can prevent most domestic users from worrying about the 'mock-up' of remanufactured products.In practice, the system of localization, supervision and certification of remanufactured products in China is still lacking. Loss or ambiguity, and these policies have yet to be granted by the government.

The market is subject to standards. The primary obligation of the remanufacturing of machine tools is to establish a standard market. According to surveys, in the remanufacturing industry, where the country developed earlier, the remanufacturing of machine tools had been carried out for many years and constituted a relatively intact property chain. From 1991 onwards, Germany has repeatedly allocated funds to support electromechanical remanufacturing to assist enterprises and universities and research institutes in conducting remanufacturing research tasks. In recent years, Japan has also increased the remanufacturing of construction machinery. At least 20 remanufacturing companies have adopted the model. About 30% of Japanese remanufactured construction machinery is exported to foreign countries.

However, in our country, the implementation of remanufacturing is still relatively short, and it is mostly due to the maintenance of a single large-heavy machine tool. There is a lack of process standards and the market is slightly turbulent. Chen Can, deputy general manager of Wuhan Huazhong Automation Co., Ltd., said: "Because there is no policy definition and industry norm, the concept of remanufacturing by the market and users is still paralyzed. Users are skeptical about the remanufactured products, especially the fine and complex. Whether or not the machine tool can reach the expected results after remanufacturing holds a preservation position, which also makes the user's choice of remanufacturing voluntary is not fierce.” Because local users can not understand the difference between remanufactured products and new products, the service and after-sales of remanufactured products The use of doubts, coupled with the industry's lack of consistent pricing specifications, can easily create market low-cost competition. The lower price can not guarantee the investment of the project, and the quality of the remanufactured product will be more and more difficult to guarantee the trust of the user.

In the case of machine tool remanufacturing companies, characteristic customer requirements have formed the characteristics of remanufactured business bill types and small batches, and it is difficult to constitute property. In the process of remanufacturing, the separated parts are difficult to place, occupying a large space, and the secondary management of the production of helium gas also affects the input of new equipment. With regard to production enterprises such as Wuzhong and Chongqing Machine Tools, the contradiction between remanufacturing business and new product business is becoming increasingly clear. Intense market competition has forced companies to invest more effort in new product research and development and production, often worrying again. The manufactured product impacts on its new product.
