Large Coal Fully-mechanized Coal Mining Equipment Will Lead the Development of Coal-forming Machine Industry

With the rapid development of China's coal industry in recent years, the coal machinery industry that is dependent on it has also received increasing attention. The coal industry's programmatic document “Some Opinions on Accelerating the Healthy Development of the Coal Industry” promulgated last year, the National Coal Industry Science and Technology Conference held last year, and the recently introduced National Coal Industry Structural Adjustment Policy of the National Development and Reform Commission all involved development. Large-scale coal underground coal mining equipment and other content. Relevant persons pointed out that large-scale coal mining underground coal mining equipment has entered the people's field of vision, which is an inevitable trend for the development of coal machinery industry. 
Accelerating the development of coal machinery manufacturing is of great significance 
China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of coal. Because China is rich in coal and less oil, coal plays an extremely important role in China's primary energy sources. In recent years, high international oil prices have, to a certain extent, further highlighted the strategic significance of China's coal resources. 
The construction of a strong coal industry must be backed by strong coal mining machinery manufacturing capabilities. However, the backwardness of the overall level of production technology is constraining the rapid development of the coal industry. According to statistics, the current level of mechanization in coal mining is only 42%. Many small coal mines still use traditional backward mining methods. In order to resolve this contradiction, the country has proposed a strategic goal of accelerating the upgrading of coal production and equipment manufacturing technology. According to the main objectives of the restructuring of the coal industry in the “11th Five-Year Plan” period, by 2010, the mechanization of coal mining at large and medium-sized coal mines in the country should reach 95% and 80% respectively. 
According to relevant experts, major special projects such as large-scale coal underground mining equipment are mainly geared to high-yield, high-efficiency intensive production of coal mines and related equipment and technologies. Including annual production of 6 million to 10 million tons of thick coal seam full-tech production of complete sets of equipment; annual output of 1.5 million to 2 million tons of thin coal seam full-automatic production of complete sets of technical equipment; annual output of more than 1 million tons of short-wall fully-mechanized mining equipment and complete sets of technical equipment ; Roadway rapid comprehensive excavation complete sets of equipment and other development. 
Related industry sources pointed out that China's development of large-scale coal mining underground coal mining equipment is not only to solve the equipment demand for the development of the coal industry, but also indirectly to provide rare opportunities for the development of China's coal industry technical level, and more importantly, It will provide a strong guarantee for the exploitation of China's important energy resources. 
Constraints increase the comprehensive gap 
The development of the coal machinery industry has not been easy. After many years of low periods, although the market has gradually warmed in recent years, there are still many constraints in its own development. Such as the lagging development of basic technologies and basic components, domestic raw materials can not meet the requirements, the number of small and multi-scale enterprises scattered and repeated, less investment in technological development, weak technological innovation capabilities. 
At present, one of the most prominent problems in the whole industry of coal mining machinery is the weak ability of complete sets and the lack of market competitiveness. It is understood that since the reform and opening up, great achievements have been made in the development of coal-specific equipment and localization. 
However, due to the constraints of the system and mechanism, in the development of coal-specific equipment and localization, the power is mainly concentrated on improving the design and manufacturing capabilities and level of stand-alone machines. Therefore, system development, system design, system integration, and system services for coal-specific equipment are very weak. At the same time, due to the lagging development of the coal equipment manufacturing industry, the performance and reliability of products cannot meet the requirements of high-yield and high-efficiency mines, resulting in the enterprises lacking competitiveness in market competition. It is also known that at present, only Shanxi Coking Coal Group and China Coal Machinery Engineering Equipment Group have integrated coal manufacturing capabilities. Constraints and lack of technological innovation in the industry have caused a large gap between China's coal machinery manufacturing industry and the international level. Experts suggest that according to the specific circumstances of the current industry, the industry innovation route needs to be combined with the introduction of independent research and development. Experts pointed out that in the wave of global industrial restructuring and transfer, and under the constraints of many factors, China's coal equipment manufacturing industry is facing a new trend of restructuring and scale operations.
