Although the development of the epidemic in my country has stabilized, the global epidemic is still spreading. Various types of masks are still in short supply as anti-epidemic materials, but the short supply of the core material meltblown cloth still restricts the further improvement of my country’s mask production capacity.
Recently, in Yizheng City, Jiangsu Province, located in the eastern region, we are working around the clock to meet the construction deadline. While urgently constructing the eight melt-blown cloth production lines it had previously received, the state-owned enterprise Yizheng Chemical Fiber received a new task to build additional melt-blown cloth production lines. In Yibin, Sichuan, another state-owned enterprise, Siliya Group, located in the southwest region, has successfully produced meltblown cloth. not only that. In the current fight against the epidemic, chemical fiber companies such as Hesmore and Siliya have also extended their industrial chains downwards and joined the large team of mask manufacturers. These all reflect the high degree of responsibility of chemical fiber companies.
Overall, the overall resumption of work and production in the chemical fiber industry is currently advancing steadily and orderly, and market order is gradually being restored.
Yizheng Chemical Fiber added four new melt-blown cloth production lines
On March 10, Sinopec announced that in order to further enhance The market has the ability to ensure supply and stabilize raw material prices. On the basis of the emergency launch of 10 meltblown cloth production lines with a production capacity of 18 tons/day in the early stage, 6 more production lines will be added at Yanshan Petrochemical and Yizheng Chemical Fiber to increase melting capacity by 12 tons/day. Spray cloth production capacity. These melt-blown cloth production lines are expected to be put into operation by the end of May. By then, Sinopec will have a melt-blown cloth production capacity of 30 tons/day.
Sinopec spokesperson Lu Dapeng said that during the epidemic prevention and control period, Sinopec will actively increase the production of melt-blown cloth and join hands with local governments and industrial chain cooperative enterprises to stabilize the price of melt-blown cloth and curb the current overheating. market expectations.
This means that Yizheng Chemical Fiber has added 4 more melt-blown cloth production lines, and the number of melt-blown cloth production lines under construction has reached 12.
At 17:00 on March 10, an imported fan shipped from Shanghai was shipped to Yizheng Chemical Fiber. This is the arrival of the first key equipment for Yizheng Chemical Fiber’s 4,000-ton annual melt-blown cloth project. At 3 a.m. on March 11, a truck loaded with 38 low-voltage distribution cabinets arrived at Yizheng Chemical Fiber from Shanghai, arriving earlier than originally planned.
Involving in the field of meltblown cloth production, Yizheng Chemical Fiber started from scratch. After receiving the emergency task assigned by Sinopec in the early stage, Yizheng Chemical Fiber officially started the construction of 8 meltblown cloth production lines on February 24. It mobilized the entire company to act quickly and deal with special cases, while communicating, designing, Procurement, construction, and training of personnel at the same time.
In the current construction of melt-blown cloth projects, the biggest bottleneck is the long delivery time of complete sets of equipment. The main equipment and outsourcing equipment involve more than 80 equipment supply manufacturers across the country. In this regard, the Yizheng Chemical Fiber Materials Procurement Group contacted these equipment supply manufacturers one by one, and sent 11 working teams of professional and technical personnel to go deep into the main equipment and outsourcing equipment manufacturers to supervise, supervise, and expedite their production and manufacturing progress. Deliver and expedite shipments, implement on-site offices, coordinate and solve problems in a timely manner.
The main equipment of the meltblown cloth project is the top priority. With the materials in place, it takes two months to normally produce a meltblown cloth production line. On February 25, after receiving the manufacturing task of the main equipment for eight meltblown cloth production lines of Yizheng Chemical Fiber, the relevant main equipment manufacturers quickly established a project leadership team and a “combat team” to work overtime. When Yizheng Chemical Fiber was unable to go to the main equipment manufacturing site in the early stage, it communicated on key equipment design and processing quality through video docking progress every day.
At 1:15 pm on March 16, under the escort of a police car and led by an official vehicle from the Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fiber Materials Procurement Center, a car carrying a 17.5-ton melt The steel platform truck, the main equipment of the spray cloth production line, rushed from the Yizheng Shiwulitun Expressway exit to the Yizheng Chemical Fiber Factory. After arriving at the construction site of the Yizheng Chemical Fiber Meltblown cloth project, it began unloading and installation. This is the first batch of materials to arrive for the main equipment of the Yizheng chemical fiber melt-blown cloth production line, ten days ahead of the original planned arrival time, marking that the Yizheng chemical fiber melt-blown cloth production line has gradually entered the equipment installation and commissioning stage.
All melt-blown cloth production lines constructed by Yizheng Chemical Fiber are expected to be completed one after another after April 15 and put into production by the end of May.
