Rumors of improving the level of drying technology and equipment in China
Although there are numerous drying equipment manufacturers in China, the overall level of drying technology still lags significantly behind that of advanced countries. This is a widely accepted view within the industry. The challenge now is how to rapidly improve China's drying technology and effectively compete in an increasingly globalized market, especially after joining the WTO. Based on insights from multiple experts, the following suggestions have been made regarding the current state of China’s drying industry.
First, it is essential to strengthen basic research. For many years, Chinese drying equipment has mainly relied on imitation, resulting in products that lack distinctive features and are not competitive internationally. The level of drying technology directly determines the quality of the equipment. Currently, there are many manufacturers, but fewer professionals are engaged in R&D. In contrast, some foreign companies have more researchers than production staff, focusing on high-tech solutions to capture the market. To gain competitiveness at home and abroad, China must establish professional research bases with comprehensive testing facilities. One effective approach is to create integrated research and production institutions that combine scientific research with manufacturing, thereby improving technical capabilities and product value.
Key areas for improvement include:
1. **Fundamental Research**: Basic theoretical studies are the foundation for technological innovation. Establishing well-equipped laboratories in universities and research institutes will lay the groundwork for future advancements in drying technology.
2. **Material Properties Analysis**: Understanding the physical characteristics of materials is crucial for designing efficient dryers. Many technicians treat drying equipment as purely mechanical, neglecting material properties, which leads to suboptimal designs.
3. **Automation Control**: Domestic drying equipment often lacks advanced automation. The key issue is not just solving control problems, but integrating control systems with the specific needs of different materials. A well-designed control system can greatly enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
4. **High-Value Materials**: With the rise of new materials like nano-powders and microcapsules, new challenges emerge in the drying process. Specialized techniques are required to handle these materials effectively.
5. **Scaling Up**: Scaling up drying equipment involves complex interactions between various engineering disciplines. It requires experience, material knowledge, and a deep understanding of drying principles to avoid failures during the scaling process.
In addition, it is important to enhance users’ ability to evaluate drying equipment. Many factories produce equipment with varying levels of quality, and their survival often depends on the users' ability to distinguish between good and poor-quality products. Drying equipment is not just about mechanical quality—it also involves technical performance, which is hard to assess without expertise.
When selecting a manufacturer, users should consider the following:
- Visit the factory to check if they have experimental equipment and data for the specific material.
- Evaluate the company’s work performance and past projects.
- Check the factory’s reputation and whether they offer long-term support.
- Examine similar machines to assess the factory’s experience.
- Request evidence of successful drying results for similar materials.
Drying is a highly specialized field, and non-experts may struggle to make informed decisions. Hiring a drying expert can help ensure the reliability and success of the project. By fostering a better understanding of drying technology, the market can become more competitive and efficient, allowing only the most capable manufacturers to thrive.
