The Electric Valve Has Become the Mainstream of China's Valve Market
September.30.2010

The industry insiders said that in the industrial process the valves are most used to control the flow and flux of various liquids such as water, oils, chemicals, etc., according to parameters of temperature, pressure and flow. The general-used control valves in factories are pressure reducing valve, pneumatic fixed temperature valve, solenoid valve fixed temperature system, constant temperature control valve proportional system, temperature control valves and other types. In the selection of various types of automatic valves, in order to achieve economic and practical purposes some blow molding machine factors should be considered including the type of heat engine, the required accuracy, the quality of control valve, pressure drop, flow and structure, the failure rate, valvemanufacturers credit and after-sales service.

As for the plastic valve, it’s a cost-effective choice for practitioner because of its advantages of easy-fitted, low failure rate and the accordance with the industrial hose automation needs. Because the conventional pneumatic valve and bag making machinemust matched with pipes, solenoid valve and compressor, while the electric valve is driven by motor, easy to pvc fitting install, and can be installed with the original robotic factory line, which could save other slitting machine costs. In addition, the opening and closing can be smooth-going by the pipe fitting motor-driven way without the shortcoming of immediate excessive momentum, so the failure rate can be substantially reduced.

Many people think that the cost of using electric valve is high, on the contrary, if calculated from the holistic basis, the traditional valves should plus the cip installation cost of many accessories and pipelines, therefore the price is not dominant but even undertaking more maintenance costs.

The Most Darkest Period of China Machinery Industry Has Gone
September.24.2010

The recovery of China machinery industry will evolve from downstream special equipment to machine parts, then to machine tools and other general equipments, which is a gradual process. Now the demand still mainly comes from domestic, such as railway, highway, subway and other items, if the private investment and exports recover in the second half year, the construction machinery industry will still be the most beneficial industry, but the recovery of machine tools and other general slitting machine, shipping industry are lagging behind. As the raw material price is increasing continuously and the power is not enough, it is expected that the profit of machinery industry will be improved in the second half year.

At present, the packing machine industry is undergoing a gentle revival. Because the capacity utilization rate was insufficient and the plastic valve product price decreased in the first half year, the performance is lower than anticipation, especially some export-oriented industries, such as shipping, forklifts and bulldozers industries have not went out of the recession yet. But the darkest period of blow molding machine industry has gone.

In the rainy season in July, the chain decrease of the construction machinery products sales volume is normal phenomenon. Benefit from the infrastructure, the sale of cranes, excavators and engineering machiney cip represents positive growth for two consecutive months compared with the same period last year, but the sale of earthwork mechanical loading machines and bulldozers is average in performance. The increase of new project starting is forward-looking indicator, even if it falls, it also has high position in history, and the construction machinery sales of the second half year will not be slack in the off-season.

The output of domestic CNC metal cutting machine tools has recovered, and the machine tool export of July this year first achieved the positive growth over previous year.

The export demand has come down the bottom; rebound has not been obvious yet. The link relative ratio of South Korean construction equipment pvc fitting sales in June continued to move up, down 40% compared with previous year, and the decrease rate is narrow; the sales volume of Japanese construction machinery only achieved 30%-40% of last year's, and the machine tool orders are only 20% of last year's; machinery orders in Germany factory fell 46% compared with previous year, the decrease rate is narrow compared with May; American machine tool orders declined 64% compared with the same period last year.

The First Quarter Analysis on The Import & Export of China's Construction Machinery in 2010
September.15.2010

According to Customs statistics, in the first quarter of 2010 China’s import and export trade sum of construction machinery is US$ 3.76 billion, up 27.5% over the previous year. Of this total, the value of imports is US$ 1.77 billion, increasing 62.3%; export value of 1.99 billion, up 6.8%, and trade surplus is US$ 220 million, down US$ 550 million.

From Jan to Mar of 2010, import volume of whole cip machine is 1.12 billion, increasing 72.3% than last year, accounting for 63.3% of total imports; parts import is 650 million, up 46.6%, and 36.7% of total imports. Of this total, crawler excavators pvc fitting imported 8,872 units, up 165% over the previous year, and accounting for nearly 60% of whole machine imports, which is an increase of 22 percentage points higher than previous year. Besides, some slitting machine products show good increase in bag making machine imports, such as high-powered bulldozers, graders, asphalt pavers, all terrain cranes, tower cranes, forklifts, pneumatic tools and spare parts.

As for machinery export, the volume of whole machine is 1.27 billion, up 4.1% over the previous year, accounting for 64% of total plastic valve exports; parts export is 720 million, up 11.5%, with a share of 36%. Exports continued to grow slightly in March, in which warmer faster products include loaders, road rollers, excavators, tower cranes, forklifts, tractors, engineering drills, concrete mixers, rock drills, pneumatic tools and spare parts.

In the first quarter, construction machinery imports and exports show three features. First, machines imports growth is far more than exports. Total trade surplus becomes narrow, there is even a month deficit in March, which is the first time since January 2006 totally 51 months; Second, imports of whole construction machinery increase substantially, holding a share of more than 60% of total imports, especially for track excavator (mainly second hand), the import appears blowout again, which is an impact on the domestic blow molding machine brands, causing strong reactions in the industry field; Third, the worldwide market is lack of effective blow molding machine demand, the rebound in exports get along slow and poor regularity, which indicates the market still exist unstabilizing factors.

The Effect on China's Import and Export of Machinery Industry by RMB Appreciation
September.10.2010

RMB has been appreciating in an increasing rate since China's reform of exchange rate in 2005, and up to now it has appreciated by 21%.

Overall from the long-term trend of RMB exchange rate we can see that the appreciation can help China to get more benefits in the international exchange that is good to the economic development. However, the RMB appreciation should be a long, slow and gradual process. Although the appreciation is of advantage to import, it has larger negative impact to export. Under the current circumstances, the rate should has both increase and decrease with flexible adjustment according to China's economic development. Therefore we should carefully deal with it from our own cip economic status, not to appreciate because of huge pressure from foreign countries.

First, evaluate the impact that RMB appreciation brings to import pvc fitting and export of machinery industry.

The construction machinery industry slitting machine import of 2009 is 180.917 billion U.S. dollars. The payout should be 1.234939 trillion yuan according to one U.S. dollar = 6.826 yuan terms, but under the appreciation of 0.2 yuan it should be 1.198756 trillion yuan according to one U.S. dollar = 6.626 yuan terms which can pay 36.183 billion yuan less than the former.

The construction machinery industry export of 2009 is 195.824 billion U.S. dollars. The revenue should be 1.336695 trillion yuan according to one U.S. dollar = 6.826 yuan terms, but under the appreciation of 0.2 yuan it should be 1.29753 trillion yuan according to one U.S. dollar = 6.626 yuan terms which reduce income of 391.65 100 million yuan.

When machinery import payout and export earnings come to offset, our income would reduce RMB 2.984 billion. Therefore the income sum just reduces 3 billion yuan compared with the whole industry revenue expenditure, the impact is limited. However, if RMB appreciates by 0.4 yuan, 6 billion yuan income will reduce. By analogy the more RMB appreciates, the greater impact we will have.

Second, the export enterprises are facing difficulties.

As the import and export enterprises are under different departments, the principal of importing machines products is each economic department, and the machinery manufacturing industry mainly imports metal processing machine tools, key parts and raw materials needed by some special equipments and production (such as the orientation of silicon steel, copper, aluminum, etc.). while the machinery exports are mainly enterprises of machinery manufacturing industry, and other industries exports account only for a small share.

For an enterprise, the funding sources of import and export are different. The investment of importing bag making machine equipments roots in enterprise profits, fixed assets depreciation funds or bank loans, and the listed plastic valve companies can raise funds from the stock market. However, the export is the running income of enterprise that directly effect its production costs, operational efficiency and welfare of the staff.

Therefore, the RMB exchange rate appreciation will lead to the difficulties of the exports cost increasing and the income reducing to exporters in blow molding machine manufacturing industry.
