Encourage the evolution of the industry landscape behind imports

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission formally issued the Catalogue of Encouraged Imported Technologies and Products (2011 Edition), and related items listed in the catalogue will be given discount coupons and other forms of support when they are imported.

Compared with the catalog version in 2009, this revision focuses on the modification and addition of a number of technologies and products required for the development of emerging industries such as energy-saving and environmental protection, new-generation information technology, high-end equipment manufacturing and new materials, and strategically emerging services. Industry development and development.

Regardless of the textile industry or the textile machinery industry, the policy of encouraging import itself and the change of content in the two-year catalog reflect the trend of market demand and industrial structure adjustment and the domestic textile machinery in the technological innovation and domestic demand market. Gradual evolution on the two maps.

Textile industry: promoting structural upgrading In the "Encouraging Imported Technologies and Product Catalog (2011 Edition)", the advanced technologies that are encouraged to be introduced include industrial textile machinery design and manufacturing technology, design and manufacture of air-jet vortex spinning machines, etc. Machine equipment includes high-strength high-modulus aramid 1414 (PPTA) equipment, wool fiber carding machine, rotor spinning machine (top rotor speed> 170000r/min, automatic head, joints, clean lifting), air-jet spinning Machine (spinning speed > 300m/min), special shuttleless loom, seamless computerized jacquard flat knitting machine, knitted continuous pretreatment and cold pad batch dyeing machine production line (see above table for details).

According to the Interim Measures for the Administration of Import Interest Subsidy Funds jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Commerce, the import technology and equipment are encouraged to use the import amount as the principal for calculating discount interest. The interest discount rate is not higher than the latest issue announced by the People's Bank of China at the time of interest-bearing liquidation. *** One-year ** interest rate, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Commerce will determine the discount coefficient in the total annual discount funds and determine the amount of discount interest.

Taking a vortex spinning machine with an import volume of 300,000 U.S. dollars as an example, according to the latest (July 7, 2011) *** One-year ** interest rate of 6.56% and the latest exchange rate of *** against the US dollar, business imports One of the equipment can be imported for a discount of more than 120,000 yuan.

In addition to the state's import discount policy, Fujian, Jiangsu and other major industrial provinces have also issued regulations for the management of foreign trade import support funds, and provided provincial support for imported equipment that meets the State's Catalogue of Encouraged Imported Technologies and Products. Among them, Fujian Province will determine the discount coefficient and determine the amount of discount interest according to the enterprise application situation and the annual capital budget. The maximum amount of support for a single enterprise shall not exceed 500,000 yuan; Jiangsu Province shall use the foreign exchange for the technology or equipment imported for the first time in the country. The amount was converted to the average exchange rate in December of the same year as 3%, and the maximum is no more than 3 million yuan. This will play a role in promoting and adjusting the industrial structure of textile enterprises to a certain extent.

Textile Machinery Industry: Power is greater than resistance In the Catalogue of Encouraging Imported Technologies and Products, “advanced technology introduced by encouragement” refers to advanced technology that is not yet mastered in China, and advanced technology introduced by key construction projects approved or approved by the state. "imported important equipment" refers to the critical equipment that is currently not yet available for domestic R&D and manufacturing, and that are urgently needed in various fields of the national economy, and key spare parts that cannot be produced in the importing country for the production of major technological equipment that the country encourages to develop.

From the interpretation of the policy content, it is not difficult to see that the imported textile machinery technology and equipment and domestic equipment are not in a completely competitive market, and in a more significant sense, it is a useful supplement to the existing domestic equipment varieties.

Take the “knitting continuous pretreatment and cold pad batch dyeing machine production line” in the catalogue as an example. Although the domestic knitted continuous pretreatment and cold pad batch dyeing machine production line has foreign advanced equipment in the tension control of knitted fabrics, equipment reliability, etc. There is a certain gap, but because there are few domestic manufacturers of knitted continuous pre-processing and cold-rolled heap dyeing machine production lines, even if such imports are encouraged, the impact on the entire textile machinery industry will be limited.

"On the one hand, because the former used to use the intermittent dyeing process, it is difficult to discard the old process and accept continuous dyeing. Therefore, the continuous dyeing process has not yet been effectively promoted in the country and the market is difficult to open; on the other hand, this The price of imported equipment is twice as expensive as domestically-made equipment, and the obvious price gap will cause both parties to have high-end and low-end markets,” said Li Yi, director of the standard quality department of China Textile Machinery and Accessories Industry Association and an expert in printing and dyeing equipment. Say.

"Encouraging the introduction of imported technology and equipment will also bring about the technological and technological advancement of the domestic textile machinery companies." Zhu Xianmin, vice chairman of the China Textile Machinery and Equipment Industry Association, has always held this view.

For domestic textile machinery enterprises, the "Encouraging Imported Technologies and Product Catalogue" can promote its own role from two perspectives. First, "the lack of knowledge, and then can also be reflexive", that is, to see the domestic textile machinery and imports The gap in equipment is clear from the direction of future efforts. The second is “Making long-established skills to control foreigners”, that is, in the field of non-technical foreign countries, through the introduction of advanced technologies or key components, domestic equipment will be refined and intensified. The direction of development.

Catalog comparison: highlighting the progress of domestic machinery The National Development and Reform Commission pointed out that the revision of the catalog is aimed at optimizing the import structure, actively expanding the import of advanced technologies, key components, domestic shortages of resources and energy-saving and environmental protection products, and making better use of import interest subsidy policies to promote independent innovation. And the positive effect of structural adjustment.

Compared with the 2009 version of the Catalogue of Encouraging Imported Technologies and Products, it is not difficult to see that the categories of textile machinery that are encouraged to be imported in the new catalogue revised this year have been greatly reduced, and the synthetic fiber filaments that were listed in the 2009 Catalogue are spinning. Machine (spinning speed>1500m/min, production line daily output>200t), cotton spinning combing machine (single output>120kg/h), doubling machine, twisting machine, rapier weaving machine (fabric width more than 30cm , Rotation speed ≥400r/min), Projectile loom (Weft insertion speed ≥1400m/min), Water jet loom (Weft insertion speed ≥1800m/min), Air jet loom (Weft insertion speed ≥1600m/min), Round Weft knitting machines (cylinders diameter>34 inches, machine number>28 needles/inch), electronic jacquard circular knitting machines (tube diameter>30 inches, gauge>24 needles/inch) and warp knitting machines, etc. Among the new catalogues revised this time, among the technologies that encourage importation, the single-head drawframe design and manufacturing technology, textile inkjet printhead technology, and manufacturing technology in the 2009 catalog have not been included in the 2011 edition.

The content difference between the new and old versions in the two-year period announced the rapid development and rapid progress of domestic textile machinery in the fields of cotton spinning machinery, co-mingling machinery, weaving machinery, knitting machinery, and printing equipment in an unusual and intuitive manner.

Taking the warp knitting machine as an example, driven by the strong demand in the domestic market, various types of domestic warp knitting machines have developed rapidly in recent years, achieving point-to-face technological breakthroughs. Changde Textile Machinery Co., Ltd., Changzhou Runyuan Warp Knitting Machinery Co., Ltd., Fujian Xinang Textile Machinery Co., Ltd., Changzhou Wujin Wuyang Knitting Machinery Co., Ltd. and other domestic companies producing high-speed tricot warp knitting machine, multi-comb CNC jacquard Warp knitting machine, double needle bed raschel warp knitting machine, warping machine and other electronic control devices have certain advantages in terms of cost performance and occupy a dominant position in the domestic market.

With the release of the market potential of industrial textiles, biaxial, multi-axial warp knitting machinery industry ushered in a rare market opportunity. The RCD-1 multi-axial warp knitting machine developed by Changzhou Runyuan Warp Knitting Machinery Co., Ltd. and Donghua University, etc., broke the monopoly of foreign companies and filled the gap in the field of multiaxial warp knitting machines in China. The technical indicators have basically reached the advanced level of similar foreign products. The selling price is less than half of the foreign similar products and has a high price/performance ratio.

However, although the progress of domestic textile machinery is obvious, the gap between foreign and advanced equipment is also evident. The imported technologies and equipment listed in this catalogue have a high degree of consistency with the R&D direction and industrialization goals set forth in the “Twelve Five-Year Development Guidance Opinions for the Textile Machinery Industry”, and are also during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period. Machine industry needs to overcome important issues.

For example, in the new and old editions of the Catalogue, aramid 1414 special equipment and technology are listed. At present, the country has completed a small test. The goal during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period is to complete the research and development tasks and achieve small batch production; The current prototype of the cup spinning machine has been completed and researched and developed. The development goal during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period is to accelerate the industrialization promotion and strive to reach the sales level of 50 units/year. In the future, the high-speed drive and micro-motor drive of the machine will be further studied. Control technology, automatic joint technology, etc., to further shorten the gap between the imported equipment.

If we look at this point of view, the list of imported equipment is encouraged to be reduced, which is one of the criteria for the future inspection of the progress of domestic textile machinery.
