Drying equipment widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, agriculture, forestry, native products, food, light industry and other fields, is a large capacity and a wide range of general machinery products. China's drying equipment industry from the formation, development and gradually moving towards maturity has gone through more than 20 years of history. At present, the domestic market needs of conventional drying equipment, as well as the international market demand for the main drying equipment, China's basic can make their own. This indicates that the history of China's drying equipment has been over to the main entrance.
At present, China's drying equipment in the domestic market share has reached more than 80%. Expected "fifteen" period, domestic drying equipment in the domestic market share will reach 90%, the focus of competition mainly in product quality, technical level, after-sales service and price.
According to China general machinery drying equipment industry association revealed that in the next few years, China's dry equipment demand will grow significantly in the following areas. In the field of grain drying for rice and wheat drying of small drying equipment (5 tons / following), expected annual demand will reach 1000 or so; chemical drying equipment annual demand will reach 3000 units (sets); pharmaceutical drying equipment annual demand will reach 3000 units (sets); agricultural & sideline products drying equipment, the annual demand will reach 2000 Taiwan (sets); light industry drying equipment, the annual demand will reach 2000 units (or set).
In the type of drying equipment, with hot air heating and pressure drying equipment, vacuum drying equipment mainly, other such as far infrared drying equipment, microwave drying equipment special field users will also gradually expand the number of applications; in the food, pharmaceutical and drying, for vacuum freeze drying equipment of large size equipment demand will increase, with a combination of features (such as granulation, drying, drying, filtering) equipment demand quantity will also increase; high automation drying equipment in some application areas will be welcome. In addition, the appearance quality of the dry equipment will be more and more attention, the corrosion of the material drying equipment and reliable service life, will be particularly concerned about the user.
China's accession to the WTO a year to prove that the domestic drying equipment industry development as the experts expected, is a challenge and opportunity coexist. Is the domestic market, due to the drying equipment industry has begun to enter the mature stage of development, has been able to better meet the actual needs of users in various fields, and the price only foreign similar products 1 / 3, which makes our drying equipment in the market competition than imported equipment has obvious price advantage; on the other hand, due to the drying equipment volume larger, most also relates to the site installation, commissioning and after-sales service work, so for domestic users, choose equipment made a selection of imported equipment more convenient. On the international market, China's accession to the WTO, more conducive to expanding exports of dry equipment. At present, drying technology and equipment in China are the main export products is vacuum drying equipment, vibration drying equipment, small grain, food and agricultural & sideline products drying equipment, the annual export volume of more than 100 units, exports are the main areas of is Southeast Asia and other developing countries, and has opened the door to the European and American market. At present, China drying equipment exports accounted for the total amount of domestic drying equipment is less than 5%, experts predict that during the "Tenth Five Year Plan" period of export products in the domestic drying equipment, a total of proportion will reach more than 10%.
In the international competition, the main competitors of China's drying equipment manufacturers are Denmark, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Germany, the United States and Japan. Compared with competitors, the advantages of drying equipment in China is low price. The main disadvantage is to control the degree of automation products, appearance quality, complete and functional combination of aspects to be further improved.
Therefore, domestic drying equipment manufacturing enterprises should make full use of China's accession to the WTO, strengthen technological exchanges with foreign countries, learn from foreign advanced drying equipment, improve our drying equipment automation control degree, appearance quality, complete and functional combination, narrowing the gap with foreign products, to improve our products trust in users, drying equipment in China not only in the domestic market, and in foreign markets can occupy the leading position.
China has now produced a growing variety of dry equipment, expanding the scope of application, product level and quality is rapidly increasing, the market competition ability is continuously enhanced. Especially our government introduced support for product export of the relevant policies, for the domestic drying equipment manufacturing enterprises to create a wonderful external conditions, which shows good prospects for the development of drying equipment in China.
