Hebei Botou Foundry Industry Low Carbon Development Roadmap

Abstract: Botou is the “hometown of Chinese casting” named by the China Foundry Association. There are more than 700 foundry companies with an annual production capacity of more than 3 million tons, of which solid casting accounts for more than 50% of the national output. According to the Botou City Foundry Industry Development Plan, the number of foundry companies in the city will be reduced from 700 to 300 by 2015 and focus on the development of precision castings and large-scale industrial castings such as machine tools and wind power.

Botou, a notice on the use of industry websites and the promotion of industry information, is the “Home of Chinese Foundry” named by the China Foundry Association. It has more than 700 foundry companies and an annual production capacity of more than 3 million tons, of which solid casting accounts for the national output. More than 50%. However, the huge foundry industry has many problems such as large number of companies, small scale, poor anti-risk capability, and some enterprises' backward production processes, high energy consumption per ton of castings, and heavy pollution. Last year, the entire foundry industry in the city achieved sales revenue of more than 9 billion yuan, but the tax payment was only 100 million yuan. The contribution rate of the entire industry to finance was very low. According to Luo Baihui, secretary-general of the International Model Association, Botou is only able to speed up the transformation of development methods, strictly limit the blind expansion of low-level production capacity, gradually eliminate backward production capacity, promote low-carbon casting technology that is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and can achieve the upgrading of the entire foundry industry. .

Recently, Botou City has compiled the "Provisional Regulations for Botou City's Foundry Industry's Standards of Conformity", covering enterprise layout, enterprise scale, casting process, casting equipment, casting quality, energy consumption and energy saving, waste discharge and treatment, safety production, and supervision. The detailed standards for compliance with the nine aspects of management have been made, focusing on the development of complete sets of products such as CNC machine tools, mining machinery, petroleum machinery, and transportation equipment, to achieve breakthroughs from castings to components and then to production machines, through the construction of a low-carbon casting industry. Develop a "road map" and focus on building a green casting base.

The scale requirements for new foundry projects and existing foundry companies are as follows: The annual production capacity of newly-built cast iron casting production enterprises is no less than 10,000 tons, the annual production capacity of existing enterprises is no less than 3,000 tons, and the annual production capacity by 2015 is not less than 7,000 tons; The annual production capacity of steel castings production enterprises shall be no less than 6,000 tons, and the annual production capacity of existing enterprises shall not be less than 2,000 tons, and the annual production capacity shall not be less than 5,000 tons by 2015. This year, Botou City has implemented the Provisional Regulations on the Conditions for Meeting the Requirements for the Foundry Industry. ” Through the implementation of the “standard conditions,” we will phase out the foundry companies that do not have the economic production scale and backward production capacity.

In addition to the stringent requirements on the scale of the company, they also set standards for the level of process equipment, casting quality, energy consumption, and energy conservation standards for foundry companies. Casting projects can reasonably select resin self-hardening sand, V-method casting, and lost foam molding. Casting, metal casting and other advanced molding techniques gradually phase out the dry casting process of clay sand and prohibit new projects from adopting this backward process. It is required that the new foundry project should have a complete quality assurance system, necessary environmental protection facilities, and rapid testing of testing equipment for castings and raw and auxiliary materials. Existing enterprises will eliminate aluminum-clad electric furnaces without magnetic helium before 2012, and phase out cupolas with melting rates of less than 10 tons/hour by 2015. In order to encourage enterprises to upgrade their products and improve the level of technological equipment, the municipal government has invested 5.5 million yuan to set up the “Industry Upgrade Award”, encourage enterprises to strengthen scientific and technological research and development, brand packaging, management innovation, improve production grades, etc., and encourage more solid waste Large companies establish centralized recycling, processing, and comprehensive utilization of foundry waste.

In order to ensure the effective implementation of the “threshold” for the compliance of the foundry industry, Botou City has established a joint evaluation system. The existing foundry companies shall be jointly evaluated by the Municipal Industrial and Commercial Information Bureau, environmental protection, safety supervision, and relevant departments to conduct comprehensive evaluations. The evaluation of the qualified enterprises shall be confirmed by the Municipal Industrial and Commercial Information Bureau. Enterprises that fail to pass the assessment in the areas of enterprise scale, casting process, casting equipment, safety production, and environmental protection shall be rectified and improved within a time limit. After the deadline of the rectification period, they will be severely disqualified in accordance with relevant laws, regulations, and policies. .

According to the Botou City Foundry Industry Development Plan, the number of foundry companies in the city will be reduced from 700 to 300 by 2015 and focus on the development of precision castings and large-scale industrial castings such as machine tools and wind power. The implementation of the Interim Provisions for the Standard Conditions for the Foundry Industry will effectively promote the realization of this plan.
