Domestic knitting machinery has always been a weak link in the textile machinery, knitting machinery imports a long time among all kinds of imported textile machinery in the first place. In the first quarter of this year, by the impact of the financial crisis, China's various types of textile machinery imports showed a downward trend, the total amount of imports decreased by 61.48% compared with the same period last year. Knitting machinery imports while also declined, but small relative to the magnitude, drop compared to the same period 43.86% and imports is still ranked first in all imports of machinery and 33.15 percent of all the imported equipment, the total accounted for, than the same period last year is still on the rise.
China Textile machinery equipment industry association senior engineer Miao Xiang Xu believes that knitting machinery for a long time to import high an important reason is that China is certain classes of knitting machinery products can not fully adapt to changes in the market. But it is undeniable that, with the gradual development of private enterprises, China's knitting machinery manufacturing industry is undergoing a fundamental change.
Warp knitting equipment: a new economic growth point
Large volume of cotton spinning, chemical fiber equipment sales slumped after the outbreak of the financial crisis, and several kinds of warp knitting equipment in the national increase of farmland, water conservancy, communications and other infrastructure construction of macro policy guidance, but showing a contrarian flying sales trend. Future with the acceleration of China's urban construction and housing construction, field of our country water conservancy, transportation, construction, new energy, agriculture, environmental protection and health care and related industries development, household and industrial textile consumption will continue to grow, and adapt the warp knitting machinery will have broad market space.
Wind turbine blade, large civil aircraft, yacht shell of key parts with high strength of the composite substrate is the use of multi axial warp knitting machine weaving. At present, multi axial warp knitting machine in China fabric is mainly used for wind turbine blade. Blade is the core component of wind turbine, its price is about 1/4 of the whole equipment price. According to China's "long-term renewable energy development plan", by 2020, the total installed capacity of wind power will reach 30 million kilowatts. Therefore, only wind power installed machine capacity and its leaf demand increase, will further boost the sales of multi axial warp knitting machine. In addition, multi axial warp knitting machine and biaxial warp knitting machine in warp knitting reinforced flexible composite materials and knitting industry with textile application also has a lot of space.
Computer flat knitting machine: knitting market darling
The flat knitting machine is a major category of knitting machinery. At present, China's large number of small and medium-sized enterprises are still in the use of the hand knitted sweater knitting machine and automatic flat knitting machine for. Along with the people of sweater coat, fashion, comfortable, personalized requirements increase, ordinary flat knitting machine already can not adapt to the high quality and complex type of sweater production requirements; at the same time, due to rising labor costs, common flat knitting machine production efficiency is low, species replacement is troublesome, the market response is slow, it is difficult to meet the needs of the enterprise development. Therefore, in recent years, the price of expensive imported computer flat machine imports, China's average annual imports of computer flat machine are maintained at around 5000 to 4000 units. In the context of rapid growth in market demand, with Tianyuan, Ningbo, Nantong Yu, Zhejiang, such as the representative of a number of key enterprises have launched a number of key enterprises to adapt to the development of computer flat knitting machine. Because of the high degree of automation, good reliability, especially compared with imported equipment has a high cost advantage, which is welcomed by the user enterprise. Since the second half of last year, even under the impact of the global financial crisis, the domestic computer knitting machine remains popular momentum.
Nantong Tianyuan flat knitting machine manufacturing Co., Ltd., general manager of Feng Jialin after a lot of research on the market analysis, regional distribution of wool knitting industry in our country in recent years also in the continuous optimization, textile industry of the eastern coastal developed areas is focused on the development of the high technical content and additional value is high, consumption of resources low knitted products, such as fine needle from the horizontal machining T-shirts and other; for many small knitting enterprise, also need to function, low price, high reliability, high production efficiency of computerized flat knitting machine. Therefore, Tianyuan flat knitting machine company following the successful launch of the fully functional computer intarsia flat knitting machine, has developed a single-stage electronic needle selection of computerized flat knitting machine, which is more enterprises to adopt "economic utility" of computerized flat knitting machine to create the conditions.
Seamless underwear machine: into the development of the rising period
Seamless knitted underwear and clothing has been popular in foreign countries for many years, China has just started in recent years, but only a few years, the domestic seamless knitted underwear machine on more than 6000 units, more in the main import. Domestic seamless underwear knitting machine in the past two years have come out in succession, except for weft knitted seamless underwear knitting machine, double needle bar jacquard seamless knitting machine also enterprises successfully developed and marketed.
Zhejiang daily and Ningbo Cixing has launched with half needle plate model, which is a great breakthrough. Domestic seamless underwear machine mostly never took huff pin on disc machine, the machine coiling way similar to the circular knitting machine, each with a needle selecting device, due to the limited function, only to general product production, high added value of export products mainly rely on the import equipment. When it comes to the difference between the domestic and imported seamless underwear machine seamless underwear machine, Zhejiang RIFA seamless underwear machine project group responsible person Chen said, due to a late start, domestic seamless underwear machine in the variety, performance and degree of automation still exist a certain gap. Especially as the core of seamless underwear machine electrical control system, still need further research.
