According to Sinochem New Network, during the 2026 Chemical New Materials and Fine Chemicals Conference and Exhibition held in Suzhou from April 14th to 15th, the exhibition booths of several chemical equipment manufacturers attracted a large number of visitors. The high-tech products they displayed illustrated the determination of the traditional chemical equipment manufacturing industry to break free from its old patterns and move towards innovation, thereby contributing to the industry’s transformation and upgrading. In recent years, the traditional chemical equipment manufacturing industry has accelerated its transformation and upgrading, moving gradually toward higher-end and more intelligent solutions. Ju Junwei, the sales manager at Changzhou Fanqun Drying Equipment Co., Ltd., explained that the company has increased its investment in research and development as well as automation over the past few years, allocating 30% of its annual profits to R&D and equipment upgrades. In 2023 alone, the company invested 50 million yuan to build a fully automated robot welding workshop and an AGV-based intelligent warehousing facility, thereby achieving intelligent production across the entire process. “At this exhibition, we highlighted two key pieces of equipment designed for the new energy industry and the field of high-end catalytic materials: the rotary kiln calcination system and the rotary flash drying system. These two products have been optimized based on the characteristics of positive and negative electrode materials, battery recycling materials, and high-end catalysts in the lithium battery industry; they enable precise control over temperature, atmosphere, and the movement path of materials, thereby significantly improving product consistency and thermal efficiency. In addition, we also exhibited the entire accompanying intelligent control system, which enables real-time monitoring and adaptive adjustment of process parameters. ”Ji Junwei said. At the booth of Changzhou Xinggan Drying Equipment Co., Ltd., the vertical vacuum drying and washing tanks used in the field of electronic-grade semiconductor fluororesins attracted many visitors, demonstrating the company’s capability to break free from the status quo and move toward innovation. “This device is primarily used in the post-treatment drying process for high-purity electronic-grade PFA, FEP, and similar fluoropolymer resins. It enables a single unit to perform washing, dehydration, and drying functions simultaneously, thereby allowing these fluoropolymer resins to be utilized not only in wire and cable sowie molded material applications but also in semiconductor components. This device can reduce the final metal contamination level in fluororesin from the ppm range to below 7 ppb, and the moisture content to below 0.02%, thereby meeting the quality control standards for electronic-grade fluororesin and minimizing the risk of contamination of the product by magnetic impurities and metal ions. In the processing of electronic-grade semiconductor fluororesins, this equipment also significantly shortened the chemical production process, reducing it from 8 production steps to 5. ”Company General Manager Cha Xianling said. At the booth of Huludao Yihai Fluid Mixing Machinery Technology Co., Ltd., a full range of polymerization reactors for the fluorine chemical industry was on display. Jin Tao, the company’s deputy general manager, explained that the company focuses on providing equipment research and development, design, manufacturing, as well as comprehensive technical services for the core polymerization reactions in the fluorine chemical industry. It offers one-stop solutions for a full range of polymerization reactors and automatic cleaning systems used in fluorine chemical production, such as those for PTFE and PVDF; it also provides post-treatment equipment like stirring tanks and coagulation tanks. In addition, the company offers customized CFD fluid simulation services, thereby providing customers with safe and efficient integrated equipment solutions. In addition, in recent years the company has placed great emphasis on product innovation and research and development. It has established fluid mixing laboratories, automatic cleaning laboratories, as well as a CFD simulation department, which provide practical data and technical support for core functions of the products such as mass transfer and cleaning. ”
