"Twelfth Five-Year Plan" Opens New Window for Machine Tool Remanufacturing

In China, the number of machine tools is 8 million, and the old and worn-out machine tools are eliminated at a rate of 3% per year. Each year, there are 240,000 machine tools that need to be eliminated. The machine tools are used as a relatively sophisticated processing tool. Many parts and materials are recyclable.

Remanufacturing is an industry that implements high-tech repair and reconstruction of used products. It deals with damaged or obsolete components. Based on the analysis of performance failure analysis and life assessment, the remanufacturing engineering design is implemented. Series-related advanced manufacturing technologies enable remanufactured products to meet or exceed new product quality. This technology is very suitable for the development needs of our country. As a rapidly developing country, our country consumes a large amount of resources every year. Developing a remanufacturing industry will effectively save related resources and reduce the consumption of related resources.

At present, the party's "eighteenth party" has raised the resource-saving and environment-friendly ecological civilization to a higher position. The most recent executive meeting of the State Council put forward the "12th Five-Year Plan" circular economy development plan, which explicitly makes remanufacturing a "twelve V. An important task for the development of circular economy is to carry out pilot projects for the development of remanufacturing industries and establish a remanufacturing industry cycle model. A series of policy directions indicate the direction for the development of the remanufacturing industry. Luo Baihui, chief analyst of Jinmo Machine Tool Network, believes that the remanufacturing industry has ushered in a new stage of development under the strong guidance of the national policy.

There are a large number of social possessions for all kinds of mechanical and electrical products in China, such as 100 million possession of automobiles, more than 8 million machine tools, 200 million internal combustion engines, and an accumulated total of 1.5 billion kilowatts of electric motors.

With such a large amount of possession, a large part has basic functions, but performance indicators have declined. Whether these products are remanufactured or scrapped is a big issue related to ecological civilization.

Specifically to the machine tool remanufacturing industry, Luo Baihui pointed out: China is the world's largest machine tool consumer market, and it is calculated according to the annual scrap rate of 3% of machine tools. Every year, 240,000 machine tools enter the remanufacturing ranks, accounting for about a year of new production. About half of the machine tool output. Heavy-duty, super-heavy machine tools are estimated at 2% (total machine tool), and about 4,000 heavy-duty and super-heavy-duty machine tools enter remanufacturing every year. According to statistics, 60% of the heavy-duty and super-heavy machine tools currently used in China will face elimination of technology or functions. In the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, about 50,000 units will enter the remanufacturing market, pending a full-scale technological transformation. It can be said that the market potential of remanufacturing industry is very great.

The remanufacturing industry faces new development environments and opportunities. Luo Baihui believes that there are serious overcapacity in many industries in China, and the new product market is falling drastically. However, the use of waste machinery and electronic products for processing and development and remanufacturing are precisely important models for resisting economic downside risks and opening up new consumer markets. Because the remanufacturing of electromechanical products not only has the typical energy-saving, material-saving, and environmental protection effects, it is also competitive in terms of price. The price of remanufactured products is more than 30% lower than the price of similar new products, and the profits of remanufactured enterprises are generally not less than 30%, so this is a very profitable market.

In this way, it is possible to use lower-than-market costs to reduce the production costs of products and achieve high quality standards. In our country, which is accustomed to the price war to achieve the purpose of occupying the market, it will further improve its product competitiveness and provide a solid foundation for China's future sustainable development.
