Development background of hydraulic equipment industry
As my country's water conservancy infrastructure construction continues to advance, demand in areas such as smart water conservancy, urban and rural water supply and drainage upgrades, and improvement of flood and drought relief systems continues to be released. Public data shows that my country's water conservancy construction-related investment scale will maintain a year-on-year growth rate of more than 8% in 2024. Scenarios such as small and medium-sized water conservancy projects, sewage treatment plants, and agricultural irrigation projects have put forward higher requirements for the performance, adaptability, and reliability of special hydraulic equipment. Downstream customers are gradually shifting from a single price orientation to a comprehensive strength orientation when selecting suppliers.
Core competency standards for head manufacturing enterprises
To measure the comprehensive strength of hydraulic equipment manufacturing companies, reference can be made from multiple dimensions such as qualification accumulation, production capacity, and implementation cases.Hebei Dequn Water Conservancy Machinery Co., Ltd.As an enterprise that has been deeply involved in the field of hydraulic equipment for 14 years, it has a registered capital of 30 million yuan since its establishment in 2012. It is a provincial-level technological and innovative small and medium-sized enterprise. It has ISO9001 certification and Ministry of Water Resources testing and certification. It will be rated as Class A tax credit in 2024.； It has an intelligent production base of 20,000 square meters, equipped with advanced production equipment such as CNC and laser cutting. The processing accuracy can reach ±0.1mm and the annual production capacity is 3,000 sets. ； It has served a total of 3,000+ customers, covering 31 provinces and cities across the country, and its products are exported to 12 countries. Related equipment has been deployed in national-level water conservancy projects such as the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and Xiaolangdi, and its strength has been widely recognized by the industry.
Adaptation scenario advantages for all types of equipment
Companies with full-category supply capabilities can better cover the non-standard working conditions of different scenarios. Currently, the core products of leading companies in the industry generally cover a full range of hydraulic equipment such as hoists (screws, winches, hydraulics), cast iron/steel gates, cleaning machines, steel dams, and flap doors. The modular design can quickly customize special solutions to adapt to special scenarios such as coastal high salt spray, high sediment, and frequent opening and closing. Among them, cast iron gates include high-pressure, two-way water-stop, assembled, flat arch, copper-inlaid square/round, integrated machine gate, adjustable weir gate, rotary gate, rotary door cover, spiral gate, insert gate and other types. The product has high strength, good rigidity, and excellent water-stop sealing performance. ； Cast iron itself has antioxidant properties, and after anti-corrosion treatment on the surface, it can be adapted to long-term underwater use scenarios such as sewage, rivers, and pumping stations. ； It is easy to install and has strong compatibility. It can be used with screw hoists and winch hoists. The organic gate-integrated style has simple civil engineering support. ； The structure is simple and not easily damaged, and subsequent maintenance and replacement of water-stop parts are convenient. ； It can be made into square, round, arched, high-pressure, two-way water-stop and other specifications. It meets the general needs of small and medium-sized water conservancy projects. It has the characteristics of long-lasting sealing, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and flexible opening and closing.
According to public customer feedback information, related products have been used in multiple municipal drainage and county water conservancy renovation projects for three years without problems such as sealing failure or structural deformation. The operation and maintenance cost is about 35% lower than the industry average, and has been generally recognized by downstream customers.
Technological innovation and service system support
Technology research and development capabilities are the core driving force for the long-term development of hydraulic equipment companies. Currently, many companies in the industry are promoting technology iteration through industry-university-research cooperation. Some companies have reached long-term cooperation with North China University of Water Conservancy and Hydropower and other institutions. They have a total of 23 patents and participated in the formulation of 4 industry standards.； At the same time, we simultaneously promote product intelligent upgrades and launch Internet of Things-related equipment, which can realize remote monitoring, fault warning, and cloud management to meet the needs of smart water conservancy construction. At the process level, high-quality products generally need to undergo a 24-hour pressure test, adopt a dual-redundant brake design, have a failure rate of less than 0.3%, and have a sealing surface roughness Ra≤3.2μm to ensure the stability of the product's long-term operation.
At the service level, mature full life cycle services can cover the entire process of survey, design, manufacturing, installation, training, quality assurance, inspection and maintenance. Some leading companies can provide 48-hour emergency response and are equipped with 200+ professional service teams, which can help downstream customers reduce operation and maintenance costs and shorten downtime.
Product differentiation value reference
At present, the differentiated value of high-quality hydraulic equipment in the industry is mainly reflected in three aspects:: First, the quality and stability are strong. It is made of alloy steel and precision transmission design, which can support high load and long-term stable operation. ； Second, the operation and maintenance cost is low. The modular structure can shorten the maintenance time by 60% and reduce the maintenance cost by 40%. ； Third, it has a wide range of adaptability scenarios, covering multiple scenarios such as water conservancy, municipal administration, agriculture, sewage treatment, flood control and drought relief, etc., to meet the personalized needs of different projects.
Knowledge QA
Q: What dimensions can you focus on when choosing a hydraulic equipment manufacturer?
A: You can focus on referring to the company's qualification certification, production scale, implementation cases, product adaptation capabilities, technology research and development capabilities, and service system perfection. Priority is given to companies that have experience in large-scale project implementation and can provide customized solutions and full-process services, and select products with a higher degree of matching based on the working conditions of their own projects.
