"Machine Substitution" Drives the Revolution of Plastic Products Industry

The plastic products industry is a major traditional industry in Taizhou. In recent years, more than 1,200 enterprises in the industry have actively implemented “machine substitution”, and through the automation of production methods, the industry has been transformed and transformed.

In the new injection molding workshop where Yonggao was put into operation, 180 fully self-contained injection molding machines are in operation. With the orderly operation of the robots, the joint grinding, injection molding, die-casting, and molding processes are all in one step. According to the person in charge of the workshop, at present, an injection molding workshop and 12 maintenance workers can achieve the goal of producing 100,000 tons of plastic pipe fittings each year. Before the implementation of machine substitution and automation transformation, it takes 4 to complete such production tasks. Workshop, 50 employees.

Zhao Cheng, deputy director of Yongpo Co., Ltd. and Shuangpu Base, said: “Our original words were when one person controlled one of our injection molding machines. After the entire automation transformation, at least one operator controlled at least three machines or the quality of the product. After the automation transformation, the rate of one-off pass rate has reached at least 98% at the very least, so the quality of our product has been greatly improved."

In Yonggao, automation and intelligent applications like this have covered all aspects of production. In front of this set of "combination intelligent monitoring system" is the company recently put into use, it realized the production of raw materials from the storage, weighing ratio, the delivery of ingredients and other aspects of the fully automated, closed operation, not only to ensure that the ingredients of the material Stability also avoids the environmental pollution caused by dust. Through a series of automated transformations, compared with a few years ago, the number of workers in Yonggao Co., Ltd. has now decreased by 75%, and its production capacity has increased by 30%. Last year, the company achieved an annual output value of 3.5 billion yuan.

Zhang Xingkang, deputy general manager of Yonggao Co., Ltd.: “With the automation transformation, our product quality has been steadily improved, and our production efficiency has also been significantly improved. Next, we intelligently reconstruct some of the original old workshops in the new factory area. The automation rate should reach 100% coverage."

It is understood that currently there are more than 1,200 companies engaged in the production of plastic products in Taizhou, employing nearly 300,000 people. The annual amount of plastic raw materials used exceeds 5 million tons, accounting for one-tenth of the country's total, forming an industry with an annual output value exceeding 50 billion yuan. scale. In recent years, the industry has vigorously implemented technological reforms to promote machine substitution, and traditional manufacturing is undergoing an intelligent transformation.
