“Made in the Xingtuan” cotton picking machine breaks the long-term foreign technology monopoly, and the localization rate of the entire machine reaches 93%
Early on the morning of October 4, a new domestically produced six-row self-propelled cotton baling and picking machine drove into the cotton field of Fu Huaigen’s family, a cotton grower in the 102nd Regiment of the Sixth Division, marking the beginning of the new era. A new cotton picking machine with a localization rate of 93% was officially put into operation.
In less than 4 hours, this cotton picker easily harvested 120 acres of cotton. Fu Huaigan could not hide his excitement in his words: “The price of this cotton picker is less thanThe imported cotton picker costs more than 3 million yuan, has a harvesting speed of 7.1 kilometers per hour, and a net harvest rate of 97%, which is better than the imported cotton picker, and the harvesting cost is reduced!”

The new six-row self-propelled baling cotton picker that Fu Huaigen is full of praise for is produced by Xinjiang Swan Modern Agricultural Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., a national-level specialized and new “little giant” enterprise. 150 cotton pickers of the same type with completely independent intellectual property rights were delivered at the end of August. After more than a month of debugging, large-scale operations have officially begun during the current cotton picking season. . The use of cheap and high-quality products “made by the Corps” makes Fu Huaigen and other cotton growers happy and proud.
The world’s cotton looks to China, and Chinese cotton looks to Xinjiang. my country is a major cotton producer, and Xinjiang’s cotton output accounts for nearly 90% of the country’s total. For nearly 20 years, cotton picking machines with advanced technology were almost monopolized by foreign countries. Imported cotton picking machines are expensive, and maintenance, parts supply, and technical services are restricted by foreign companies. The picking costs of domestic cotton farmers remain high. To realize the localization of cotton picking machines and ensure the safety of cotton production, it is urgent to speed up the solution of the bottleneck problem in the mechanization of the entire cotton production process.

Cotton picking machine manufacturing is a high-tech system engineering involving multiple disciplines and fields such as machinery manufacturing, electronic information, agriculture, and biology. The XPCC adheres to the path of independent innovation, explores jointly with many domestic scientific research institutions and agricultural machinery companies, and continuously promotes the localization of cotton picking machines with advanced technology.
Since Guizhou Pingshui Machinery Co., Ltd. established a cotton picker R&D and production base in Shihezi City, the pace of R&D and innovation of domestic cotton pickers in the Corps has been accelerating, but core technical problems have been unable to be broken through. Xinjiang Swan Modern Agricultural Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. launched the high-end cotton pickerintelligent manufacturing project. This year, it has made breakthroughs in a number of key core technologies and achieved optimized integration, with more than 40 patents. .

“The localization rate of the new six-row self-propelled baling cotton picking machine has reached 93%, filling the gap in the domestic market. It has the characteristics of strong power, high picking rate, and small fiber damage. Its main indicators have reached the international advanced level. .” Li Zhantao, general manager of Xinjiang Swan Modern Agricultural Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., said that the new cotton picker has been highly recognized by users in terms of price and comprehensive performance. The market is in short supply and the products are selling well across the country.
“This is a milestone worth writing in the history of agricultural machinery R&D and application in my country.” Chen Xuegeng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and an expert in agricultural machinery design and manufacturing, said that the successful development and manufacturing of new cotton pickers broke the long-term monopoly of foreign cotton pickers on the Chinese market. The pattern is of great significance for providing key technical equipment support for my country’s independent and controllable cotton harvest, improving the quality of Xinjiang cotton, and enhancing the international competitiveness of the cotton industry.
