Hydraulic press Zhang Jin Free forging hydraulic press investment requires extra caution

Zhang Jin, secretary general of China Forging & Pressing Association, made a speech on the problems existing in the development of large forgings industry when he attended the "Hangzhou Baoding Heavy Industry Development Strategy Seminar" the other day. Zhang Jin pointed out that the investment in free forging hydraulic presses is too fast at present. Due to the defects in design and manufacture technology, or irrational supporting equipment, or unscientific layout, etc., some hydraulic presses can not meet the needs of production technology. The growth rate of hydraulic presses is too fast, but there are not many presses with high level which fully accord with the press production concept in today's world. Zhang Jin suggested that it must be noted that the investment in free forging hydraulic presses should conform to the law of large forging production and the scientific supporting. Scientific analysis must be made for the existing presses. If conditions permit modification, the "upgrading" transformation must be completed. Some presses which can not meet the production needs and can not be upgraded should consider exiting from the market. It must be noted that the matching machining should be paid attention to when producing large forgings. Without relatively reasonable matching machining, the development of large forgings enterprises will surely be affected. At present, the most important subject faced by large forgings enterprises is to improve labor productivity, reduce energy consumption and material consumption. Meanwhile, the development of environment-friendly enterprise must be paid attention to. The investment in free forging hydraulic presses must be extremely cautious in a future period of time. In a sense, the investment in hydraulic presses should be stopped, focusing on using the existing equipment well. Enterprises with investment intention can consider the strategy of mergers and acquisitions.
