Chemical machinery giants vows to make leap in leather industry

“With the pressure of environmental protection, energy saving and emission reduction, and the rise of low-carbon trends, the importance of leather chemicals and leather machinery has become more prominent,” Zhang Shuhua, chairman of the China Leather Association, said recently: “According to our forecast, they will become the future of China’s leather industry. The two wings of the takeoff have made important contributions to the realization of the green revolution in the leather industry."

As we all know, leather processing requires the use of five series of hundreds of fine chemical products, and the production of shoes usually requires about 130 types of raw materials in ten categories. The variety and content of pollutants contained in various chemical products are different. This requires leather. Enterprises can play a role in escorting the industry in low carbon.

At the China International Leather Fair held in Shanghai on September 1-3, we saw an increase in the area of ​​leather chemical exhibition areas compared to previous years. The major domestic well-known chemical companies have exhibited, including Dongyang Chemical, Brother Chemicals, and Donghua Chemical. , Peace Chemicals, Shenghui Chemicals, Lihou Chemicals, Keyi Chemicals, Luoxing Chemicals, Shengda Ruitai Chemicals, Minghao Chemicals, etc. Many companies exhibited new products and technologies such as newly developed green surfactants, chromium-free enamel technology, and new leather additives. The exhibition set up a bridge for communication and trade between chemical and tannery companies. At the site, we conducted in-depth exchanges on exhibits and technologies, and conducted consultations and negotiations on procurement.

As a carrier for production, leather machinery can be widely used for environmental protection and low carbon. At the exhibition site, some mechanical companies launched drums, the energy-saving rate of up to 60% or more; shoes machine products is a collective replacement, eliminate backward shoe equipment, and instead develop new energy-efficient shoe machine. “This machine uses a new type of permanent magnet motor to abandon the backward clutch-type asynchronous motor. Unless the customer has a special order, now we generally do not produce and export old-style shoe machines.” New mechanical products injected with high-tech elements make people look After a vibration.

Wang Dan, director of the Leather Machinery Professional Committee of the China Leather Association, told reporters: “There are still some exhibitors’ equipment that has not entered the exhibition hall this year, because modern large-scale equipment is now growing and the demand is relatively high. Many models are large, not even The doors of the pavilion cannot be entered. On the one hand, there are some regrets. On the other hand, we are also gratified by the rapid development of the leather machinery industry."
