Since May this year, more than a dozen business leaders have been wandering at the door of KeXlong Plastic Machinery Co., Ltd. in Shunde District, Foshan City, wanting to enter the factory to ask for an explanation from the company: why they spent millions of yuan to get the goods from the company. The meltblown cloth machine purchased by the factory cannot produce even one meter of qualified cloth? This scene has occurred many times. After fruitless communication, these companies filed lawsuits against Coxon in court. Currently, more than 30 companies have initiated lawsuits.
▲Coberon originally did not produce meltblown cloth machines
According to industry insiders, melt-blown cloth is the core material for making masks. When the epidemic was at its worst, the price of melt-blown cloth per ton reached 650,000 yuan, triggering crazy investment in the market. As the epidemic was effectively controlled, , the current price of meltblown cloth is about 18,000 yuan/ton. The vast majority of companies that followed the trend and launched meltblown fabric projects not only failed to make money, but also lost all their money and were left with nothing.
The meltblown cloth machine that was snapped up could not produce one meter of qualified cloth
On May 5, Niu Wenjun, who had been waiting for 21 days, received 4 The first melt-blown cloth production line was ordered for 1.65 million on March 13. However, after the new machine arrived at the factory, problems arose – the mold leaked glue seriously. Niu Wenjun immediately reported back to the seller, Gao Conghua, the legal representative of Kexlong Plastic Machinery Co., Ltd. in Shunde District, Foshan City: “The mold that arrived yesterday was leaking glue like this.” He did not expect that the mold leaking glue was just the beginning, starting on the 5th. , he reported to Gao Conghua on WeChat one after another the problems that occurred in the meltblown cloth production line: the main machine is broken, the web forming machine is broken, the Roots blower is broken, the winder is broken, the electrostatic machine is broken…
Niu Wenjun He is the person in charge of Huizhou Huitai Plastic Products Co., Ltd. He also owns a factory, Shenghong Industrial Co., Ltd., and spent 3.63 million to buy 2 units. He told reporters that he learned about Coxon’s meltblown cloth production line from his friends. After getting in touch with Coxon’s salesperson Liu Fang, they went to the Coxon factory to see the prototype. According to Niu Wenjun, the prototype machine he saw at the factory was completely different from the machine he purchased. None of the three machines could produce meltblown cloth. He felt he had been cheated. Gao Conghua and his company’s engineering and technical personnel went to the industrial park to debug, repair, and replace the machine, but the machine still failed to operate normally.
Niu Wenjun told reporters that Gao Conghua pointed out during debugging that it would still not be possible to produce qualified melt-blown cloth if Koxlon’s machines, molds and raw materials were used (Huitai Plastics previously used raw materials from Sinopec) , then you can return the machine for a refund. So Niu Wenjun replaced all the equipment, raw materials, etc. with the configuration required by Gao Conghua. Then Gao Conghua himself took the master to the site for debugging again. The result was that the problem still could not be solved. After that, Niu Wenjun’s feedback and appeals were delayed and prevaricated, and there was no response. Refund as promised.
Coincidentally, Zhang Wenxin, the legal representative of Dongguan Yintai Self-Adhesive Materials Co., Ltd., said that a contract to buy 2 units was signed on April 17. The salesperson from Coxlon said that the delivery date for the 2 units was It takes 25 days. If you buy 5 units at one time, they can be delivered within 18 days. He admitted that he couldn’t wait to get the machine, so he bought 5 machines, each worth 1.78 million yuan, for a total of 8.9 million yuan. He scraped together and paid the full price of 8.9 million yuan to Cologne. However, due to the quality of the machine, until now, “one meter of qualified meltblown cloth has not been produced.” In addition to the commissioning master’s fee of 20,000/day, the cost of renting a factory, the cost of testing machines and speedometers, the total loss is tens of millions. Yuan.
Tu Chen of Guangzhou Chenhang Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. and Koxlon signed a purchase contract on April 30. According to Tu Chen, under normal circumstances, it takes 20 days for the meltblown cloth production line to be shipped. , Gao Conghua said that if an additional 300,000 yuan is added, the goods can be shipped 10 days in advance. So he spent 2.08 million to buy a Koxlon melt-blown cloth production line, but he failed to produce qualified melt-blown cloth.
14 companies jointly complained
According to Tu Chen, the current market price of a melt-blown cloth production line is about 300,000 yuan, but when he bought it in April It cost 2.08 million yuan, and other buyers also spent 1 to 2 million yuan. It is understood that he now knows that 14 companies have purchased a total of 23 meltblown cloth production lines from Coxlon, with a total cost of approximately 48.77 million yuan. However, there are quality problems with these machines: they cannot produce, or the quality of the products they produce Unqualified and unable to meet the most basic production needs. The specific manifestations are: during the production process, the extruder screw thrust was insufficient, the mold was seriously mismatched, and the extrusion volume was unstable. Many unsolvable problems were found during the debugging process, and it was suspected of producing and selling fake and inferior products.
In a joint complaint to the Shunde District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, 14 companies stated that they believed that CoXlon passed off quality products and deceived buyers into signing false transaction information, committing fraudulent transactions. The time when the complainant signed the equipment purchase contract with Kelong was concentrated between April 1, 2020 and April 30, 2020, and the time for delivering the equipment was between 15 and 25 days after signing the contract. This period was during the epidemic. The period of continuous high incidence is the period when market demand is strongest. When buyers continued to report that the equipment had various quality problems and was unable to produce No. 95 meltblown cloth, CoXlon neglected to perform its after-sales service obligations, turned a blind eye to the machines purchased by the complainant, and made various behaviors to evade responsibility. Serious violation of the provisions of the Product Quality Law�The quality of meltblown cloth machines and mask machinery has always been the focus of regulatory authorities. On April 11, Foshan Shunde District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau received complaints about the high price and poor quality of the “Kexlon Company” meltblown cloth machine through the 12345 channel; on June 15, it received complaints from representatives of 11 more companies The on-site report reflected that there were quality problems with the melt-blown cloth machines produced by Coxlon. On June 19, the District and Municipal Supervision Bureau teamed up with quality inspection experts from the Guangdong Provincial Quality Inspection Institute to conduct an on-site inspection of the Co The company representatives conducted on-site mediation with the person in charge of Coxlon. However, due to the large differences between the two parties, they could not reach a mediation agreement. They informed the parties on-site that the mediation was terminated in accordance with the law, and informed the parties that they could handle it through judicial procedures.
The relevant person in charge of the Shunde District Market Supervision Bureau said that the case investigation began on July 24. Because the case is complex, there are many complainants, and the specific situation requires in-depth investigation and evidence collection, the case processing time is relatively long. long. The main reason is that there are no national mandatory standards for the production of melt-blown cloth machines, and their products can only be judged after debugging and installation. Coxlon Company now has no finished melt-blown cloth machines, and the quality of products used by customers cannot be determined by simple random inspections. However, most of the relevant complaining companies are out of town, so it is difficult to investigate. The case extension procedures have been completed on October 17. During this period, relevant new reporting clues have been combined with the previous investigation. In the next stage, the Shunde District Market Supervision Bureau will accelerate the progress of law enforcement and continue to complete the investigation and evidence collection as soon as possible through telephone calls, letters, external transfers, etc., while maintaining communication with the judicial department, timely grasping the results of forensic appraisals, and providing a strong basis for law enforcement and case handling. . We will also intensify supervision and random inspections, improve the quality of mechanical products, and increase penalties for unqualified products.
