Why can Lanxi Textile maintain steady growth in the context of weak international trade? At the China (Lanxi) International Textile Cooperation and Development Forum held recently, Lan Yan, deputy secretary of the Lanxi Municipal Committee and Mayor Cai Yan gave the answer: technology and innovation, injecting a steady flow of development momentum for Lanxi Textile.

According to Cai Yan, through the "machine substitution", Lanxi's 30,000 looms have a shuttle-free rate of 100%, and the equipment level has been kept in line with the international advanced manufacturing level, and has the ability to produce world-class brand products. To this end, Toyota Japan has also set up the only county-level city service point in Lanxi. In addition, the scientific and technological content of Lanxi's textile and garment industry has been increasing year by year. At present, there are 2 state-level high-tech enterprises, 11 high-tech enterprises in Jinhua, and 55 technology research and development centers. "Strong scientific and technological innovation led to the development of business models, Lanxi Lan Xin Textile granted a 'Zhejiang to create' blended denim fabric quality standard, flew, blue cotton and other seven enterprises to enter the top 100 Chinese cotton textile industry." Cai Yan said.

In Lanxi, nearly 3 million yuan of automatic boring machine, looms, network monitoring and other equipment were adopted by many enterprises, greatly improving the production efficiency of enterprises and reducing labor costs. In Wanxi, the largest investment in Lanxi, the spinning equipment has been automated and intelligent in the largest single plant in the province. The first phase of the project has less than 20 workers per 10,000 spindles, far ahead of ordinary spinning. The average employer employs 80 people per 10,000 spindles.

Not long ago, Lima Textile invested more than 60 million yuan, eliminated 290 Toyota 710 air jet looms, and newly launched 100 Toyota 810 air jet looms.

“Toyota 810 has a speed of 1100 rpm, which is more than 400 rpm faster than the Toyota 710. The productivity of the production line is increased by 40% and the energy consumption is reduced by 15%, which can reduce the production cost per meter by 0.3 yuan. It is possible to produce more than 80 high-density and high-density products and jacquard products.” Zhang Shugen, chairman of Lima Textile, said, “The company plans to invest more than 60 million yuan and launch 100 Toyota 810 air jet looms.”

Technological innovation to create market competitiveness

Lanxi has successively issued policies to accelerate the development of the textile industry, increase the support of the industrial economy, and reduce the cost of optimizing the development of the enterprise. The annual financial resources for technological transformation and technology in the textile industry total more than 50 million yuan. At the same time, the Lanxi Municipal Government also organized textile entrepreneurs to train and study at Tsinghua University and Donghua University, recruiting talents from textile colleges; and successively researched with 8 major textile universities in China, such as Donghua University, Tianjin Polytechnic University and Zhejiang University of Science and Technology.

In Lanxi Huiming Jacquard Weaving Co., Ltd., its advanced weaving technology can transform Wang Xizhi's classic work “Lanting Preface” into a special wall covering with strong cultural atmosphere through the latest jacquard technology through personalized customization. “As long as customers provide HD samples, whether they are calligraphy or photos, we can weave them into high-definition wall coverings. This new technology wall covering is very popular in the market.” The company’s official said, “This The individualized wall coverings have a warp density of 120 to 130 yarns per centimeter, while ordinary textiles have a warp and weft density of about 70 per centimeter. This is the market competitiveness that innovation brings us."

It is precisely because of such a group of enterprises with deep innovation skills that Lanxi textile industry has the potential to enhance, and also has “China Weaving Famous City”, “China Textile Industry Base” and “National Textile Industry”.

It has more than 1,600 textile enterprises and more than 60,000 employees, forming a whole industrial chain pattern from primary grey cloth to end products.
