RT. What is the level of pressure vessel manufacturing technology in this factory? What’s the quality like?
This factory was originally a military enterprise that produced seaplanes and airships. It has now been acquired by CIMC. Its main business in the field of pressure vessels involves manufacturing tank trucks for transporting substances such as liquid ammonia, liquefied gas, and methanol. The technical capabilities are pretty good
After all, it is an established enterprise in the military industry with a solid foundation, and it has recently obtained the qualification to manufacture spherical tanks.
Although its name includes the words \"aircraft manufacturing,\" it’s actually just a gimmick. It is said that initially they tried to create an aircraft that could fly, but now they mainly produce liquefied petroleum gas tankers, and they are leaders in this field in China. They are fairly good at producing ordinary pressure vessels, but they might fall short when it comes to high-demand applications such as oil refining
We have quite a number of Hongtu automobile tank trucks here, and their quality is good; I’m not sure about anything else!
I have lived in Jingmen for many years; that factory is located in the picturesque town of Zhanghe, and it is an enterprise that was formerly part of the military. The production of Shuihong-5 used to take place there; at the end of the 1980s, the entire operation was moved to Qingdao. The remaining facilities are still in use and are primarily used for manufacturing various pressure vessels, with mobile pressure vessels being the main focus – what we commonly refer to as tank trucks. These facilities are among the best of their kind in China. The core competitiveness is very strong!
