Domestic natural rubber prices soared and tire prices rose. On February 21st, 2011, the average price of Yunnan National Grade 1 natural rubber wholesale rose for the first time to 42,400 yuan/ton, a record high for 60 years. In another three months, the US government’s special tire protection plan for Chinese tire companies will also mark its second anniversary “Anniversaryâ€. In China's tire industry's "ultimate fall", the Chinese rubber industry is thinking, "How can China's tire companies control the right to speak in international trade."
Industry "Falling Events"
“Rubber prices have now risen to more than 40,000 yuan a ton, which directly threatens the profits of Chinese tire companies. Some companies are facing the danger of closing.†Fan Rende, president of the China Rubber Industry Association, who has worked in the rubber industry for more than 40 years, lamented the reporter. The rubber industry's profit margin has been reduced from the past 5% to less than 3% now.
In fact, in addition to the increase in natural rubber prices directly eroding the profits of domestic tire manufacturers, foreign trade protection measures taken on Chinese tire products have made the survival of Chinese tire companies a test. Fan Rende believes that currently 80% of China's natural rubber raw materials rely on imports, so it is very unreasonable to impose import duties on natural rubber. Chinese companies must seek a rubber pricing power.
“China is the largest tire-producing country, but China's rubber industry is generally big and not strong. Chinese companies are seriously lacking in technological innovation.†Ma Lianxiang, president of Qingdao Science and Technology University, known as the “Huangpu Military Academy†in the Chinese rubber industry In an interview with reporters, the local tire companies have almost no bargaining power.
Betting "Rubber Valley"
“China's tire industry must adjust its product mix, develop products with high added value and advanced technology, increase brand awareness, avoid low-level repetitive competition, and change individual soldier operations.†It was the reporter who heard the most during the interview. voice.
As a major rubber province in China, Shandong Province has achieved more than 1,000 sales revenues for various rubber companies in 2010
The Rapier Loom is the most commonly used version of shuttle-less weaving machinery. Its primary features include fast weaving speed, high level of automation, and maximum efficiency. In addition to the said characteristics which are inherited from previous shuttle-less weaving machines, the rapier loom also has its own advantage over them. For instance, its positive weft insertion mechanism is suitable for weaving a variety of fiber yarns. Moreover, the unique weft color choosing system allows maximum 16 colors of filing picks to be woven. With all those matchless features available at a low price, the loom has seed wide use in weaving dyed yarn, towel, silk weave, wool fabric, and bast fabric. It also provides an ideal solution for small batch production of fancy cloth.
Advances in weaving technology will continue to increase the variety of looms to fit the specific request of consumers. Below are the detailed descriptions of the benefits for using rapier looms
Extensive Applications
The state of the art rapier loom
is no longer picky about the texture, specification, and pattern of the textile
raw material, whether it be hydrophobic or hydrophilic, natural fibers like
cotton, flax, wool, and silk or such chemical fibers as dacron and chinlon,
super fine yarn or super bulky yarn, lightweight and thin yarn or thick and
heavy weight yarn, or yarn with simple patterns or complex patterns. As long as
you choose the correct machine model along with proper weaving process, you can
get satisfying products.
Versatility
The rapier loom when equipped with the dobby
device, or rather, the electronic dobby loom allows operators to change the
weaving patterns conveniently. That being said, the loom can be converted to
accommodate another variety of product.
Potential Products
The quality, rich-colored fabrics
manufactured by the rapier loom possess huge potential on the market. The rapier
loom makes new product development a possibility.
1. Equipped with the electronic dobby system, the rapier loom can meet the
rapidly-changing demands for new products. Controlled by the micro-computer, the
electronic dobby system can provide various weft counts in a warp and weft weave
pattern via the programming system. The wide range of complex weaving patterns
create added value for the fabric manufacturer. While the dobby loom is running
in faster, more accurate movement, it also increases the variations of warp
patterns, thereby facilitating the development of new warp weaving process.
What's more, the complex warp weaving pattern is hard to be duplicated by other
manufacturers, thus protecting the new process from being copied.
2. The
rapier loom relies on the rapier to carry the weft across the warp sheet.
Therefore, the loom can insert literally any kind of filling picks into the warp
as long as the pick can be carried by the rapier. Based on this proven theory,
we can use the rapier loom to weave various stretch fabrics like the stretch
poplin, stretch denim, and stretch corduroy. When weaving those fabrics, the
loom has overcome the common problems such as undesired double pick and weft
kink face by previous weaving machines.
3. When fitted with the highly
advanced weft selection device, our electronic dobby loom can construct complex
2-pick and 3-pick weave.
4. The strong battening force and the strong
temple(which can hold the whole width of the fabric and assures the fabric to be
firm), along with the tall back warp beam ensure the fabric is tightened under
high tension throughout the weaving process.
5. The rapier loom, when
equipped with jacquard shedding system, can fabricate weave complex jacquard
pattern. If used in combination with the hot cutter and heat setting device, the
loom can be used to weave product trademarks. It can fabricate top-class weaves
when equipped with selvedge forming device and carving device. Others can be
sued to craft terry towels.
Further benefits of using the rapier loom include complete functions, high production efficiency, high automation, safe operation, low noise, and good weaving quality. Those advantages have made our rapier loom stand out from market competition.
