Comply with the Work Safety Law! Take on the role of the primary responsible person! ---------------------------------------------- The past decade has been a period of rapid development for China’s chemical industry, marked by the emergence of many new processes, products, and equipment. China’s chemical processing equipment has also seen significant progress, which has contributed to the swift development of the petrochemical sector. Here, we have compiled some of the achievements and breakthroughs made by Chinese equipment manufacturers in terms of larger-scale production and greater use of domestic equipment. We invite everyone to share, discuss, and exchange ideas – let’s cheer for Made in China and support the development of chemical processing equipment! ------------------------------------------------------ Hebei Hongrun’s 50,000-ton vertical extruder is a major construction project undertaken by the company after more than two years of research, evaluation, and planning. With a total investment of 399 million yuan, construction began at the beginning of 2010; after two and a half years of work, the extruder was successfully tested on June 29, 2012, and the first seamless steel pipe was produced. All design specifications and technical parameters of the product meet the design requirements, and the commissioning tests were successful. The pressure unit manufactured as part of this project consists of a 50,000-ton steel pipe extruder, a 16,000-ton billet forming machine, as well as a pump-accumulator power station, a turbocharger, a hydraulic control system, an electrical control system, etc. It represents the main equipment in the technological upgrade project for manufacturing large-diameter, thick-walled seamless steel pipes developed by this company. This unit features high production efficiency, high material utilization rates, and excellent quality of steel pipes, making it particularly suitable for mass production. It can not only extrude large seamless pipes, but also supply high-quality, high-temperature and high-pressure extruded products for industries such as military, nuclear power, power plants, high-speed railways, and large aircraft both domestically and internationally; thus, its market prospects are very promising. Once the project is put into operation, it will be able to produce 50,000 tons of high-quality steel pipes per year, generating annual sales revenue of 1–2 billion yuan and profits and taxes of over 300 million yuan. At the same time, it will fill several gaps in the field of 50,000-ton hydraulic unit technology both domestically and internationally, thereby playing a positive role in promoting the development of China’s equipment manufacturing industry. On October 1, 2019, the pilot episode of the four-part documentary series \"Super Equipment\" was premiered on CCTV-9 during the National Day holiday, as a grand tribute to the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. On July 1 this year, CCTV-9 aired the full version of \"Super Equipment\" as a solemn tribute to the Party’s 99th anniversary. The 50,000-ton thermal vertical extruder independently developed and built by Hongrun makes another full appearance in Episode 4, “Basic Equipment”.
