Salt industry seeks integration breakthrough

In recent years, the salt industry in China has achieved rapid development, but problems such as low industrial concentration, small scale, large quantities, and extensive operations are also becoming increasingly prominent. Especially in the past six years, the rapid expansion of the original salt industry has exceeded 40 million tons. Oversupply and contradiction will push the salt industry to the forefront of reforms and will form a new wave of shocks on China's traditional salt industry. The salt industry is looking to integrate breakthroughs.

According to Zhu Guoliang, deputy secretary-general of the China Salt Industry Association, the momentum of the expansion of the salt industry continues to spread. From the statistical data, in the next three years, it is planned to expand the peak: 6.9 million tons, 5.35 million tons and 6.25 million respectively, and by 2012, the total capacity of the original salt will exceed 100 million tons! Due to consecutive years of expansion, the idle capacity of the entire industry has exceeded 14 million tons. Due to the low concentration of salt manufacturing companies in China, the organizational structure of many, small, weak, scattered, and chaotic companies has severely constrained the overall quality of salt companies and their core competitiveness. This has formed with salt companies in advanced countries abroad. Great contrast. Under the current contradiction between high-speed growth in production capacity and production over sales, the decentralized corporate structure has become a bottleneck restricting the development of salt production enterprises. Lin Jiaxuan, executive vice chairman of the China Salt Industry Association, stated that China’s salt manufacturing companies are small in scale and private enterprises are numerous. Although the total number of salt companies exceeds 400, the average size is less than 200,000 tons/year, and companies with 600,000 tons or more are only 33. Only 30 companies have 300,000 to 600,000 tons of homes. The top 5 salt industry group's production capacity accounts for only about 30% of the country's total production capacity, obviously not meeting the needs and development of the market.

In recent years, some industrial salt companies have tried to enter the salt chemical industry. In 2005, China National Salt Industry Corporation reorganized Inner Mongolia Jilantai Salt Chemical Group Co., Ltd., and launched the first-phase project of polyvinyl chloride with an annual output of 400,000 tons; in May 2007, it reorganized Hunan Zhuzhou Chemical Group Corporation and formed a Annual capacity of 300,000 tons of PVC; last year, Shanxi Yuncheng Nanfeng Chemical Group was controlled to prepare for the PVC project. It is understood that provinces and cities rich in industrial salt resources such as Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Henan, and Anhui are all vigorously developing salt chemical projects. The main well mineral salt production areas are Hubei, Jiangxi, Henan, and Shaanxi, and the lake salt production areas in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang are There was a culmination of construction of a "two alkalis" project, and the momentum for expansion was rapid. The data shows that industrial salt accounts for a large proportion of the production costs of soda ash and caustic soda. The production of 1 ton of “two alkali” products requires about 1.55 tons of industrial salt.

The chemical companies in the lower reaches of salt production have extended their industrial chains, supporting industries, and circular economy so that enterprises outside the industry, such as petrochemical, coal, and glass, enter the salt industry. The resource-conforming lake salt salt mines (plants) have established factories in resource-rich regions, such as Qinghai Soda Industry, Pingmei Shenma, Jiangxi Alkali, Wal-Mart, Taibo, Henan Jinshan, etc.; resource-integrated salt Salt and brine downstream companies have also successively integrated salt plants (plants), such as Haihua, Suihua, Yuntianhua, Hami Alkali, Yihua and other key companies have shown a strong sense of progress.

From an industrial cycle point of view, the "two alkalis" industry has entered a mature period, has created and formed a group of leading companies with strong competitive advantages, and occupies a considerable market share. Because salt companies have a reliable supply of raw materials and can avoid the adverse impact of rising industrial salt prices and tight supply, the overall economic performance will be better than traditional “two-alkali” enterprises.

A senior market analyst from Shanghai Chlor-alkali Co., Ltd. analyzed that upstream and downstream companies entered the “two-alkali” industry with many advantages such as capital, raw materials, and technology, and were changing the traditional “two-alkali” production pattern. This is conducive to the scale and intensive development of the entire industry in the form of industrial chains. At the same time, this trend will also challenge the development of traditional “two-alkali” companies.

In response, a person in charge of the China Salt Industry Corporation stated that the salt industry may consider step-by-step implementation, first introducing competition in the industry and gradually liberalizing it; or it may learn from foreign experience and provide a suitable transition period during the transitional period. Maintain the franchise policy unchanged, and provide preparation time for industrial restructuring, personnel diversion and mechanism conversion. In order to strengthen the integration of the national salt industry resources, China will accelerate the adjustment of the salt industry with leading enterprises as its main body.

Yan Wang, general manager of Jiangxi Salt Industry Group's Fuzhou company, said that the country’s supply of salt products is far greater than the market demand, which can meet the needs of the salt industry after the system reform. Therefore, the conditions for the reform of the salt industry in China are already in place. Zhu Guoliang stated that innovating the salt reform model and bringing new vitality to the salt industry is the top priority for the salt industry. Mergers, consolidations and reorganizations in the industry and the elimination of backward productivity are the focus of the salt industry in the future.

Idler bearing housing is spare parts of Conveyor Idler roller. They are formed from strip steel deep pressed in automatic presses machine, this tolerance allowing a perfect match between the bearing and the relevant parts of the sealing. The roller shell and the two bearing housings are welded together in a way that forms a monolithic structure of exceptional strength. This method guarantees the maximum precision and the minimum out of balance forces in the rollers.
