Recently, at the first-ever Green Metallurgical Equipment Science and Technology Frontier Forum, Li Jing, Executive Vice Chairman of China Heavy Machinery Industry Association, revealed that this year, the main revenue of the heavy machinery industry is expected to maintain a growth rate of 11% to 12%, while the main revenue growth rate of the metallurgical machinery industry is expected to be 1% to 2%.
 

According to statistics, the main revenue growth rate of China's heavy machinery industry was 11.5% in the first eight months of this year, with a growth rate of 1.72% for metallurgical machinery. In the first nine months of this year, the output growth rate of metallurgical machinery was 3.3%. Since the second half of 2011, the development growth rate of China's heavy machinery industry has begun to decline significantly. In 2012, the heavy machinery industry achieved a main revenue of 980.5 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate dropping to 11.3%. Among them, the main revenue of metallurgical machinery was 116.27 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of only 2%. In 2012, the total output of metallurgical machinery was 1.38 million tons, with a year-on-year growth rate of 7.6%, including 734000 tons of smelting equipment and 646000 tons of rolling equipment.
 

Li Jing believes that:; The current situation faced by China's heavy machinery industry is very severe; On the one hand, heavy machinery has to directly face

The first one; Subtraction” It refers to reducing the total production capacity.
 

The country will adopt the methods of phasing out outdated production capacity and merging scales to reduce the total production capacity and the number of production enterprises. In particular, the Guiding Opinions of the State Council on Resolving the Contradiction of Serious Overcapacity clearly state that by 2015, the backward production capacity of ironmaking and steelmaking will be reduced by 15 million tons each, and a new round of work will be carried out to resolve metallurgical overcapacity.


The second one; Subtraction” It refers to energy conservation and emission reduction, reducing energy consumption and solid, liquid, and gas waste emissions in the metallurgical industry production process, comprehensively utilizing waste resources in the production process, and turning waste into treasure 

The widespread haze weather that began earlier this year has put pressure on the raw material industries represented by steel and cement. Li Jing said, "; We cannot reduce environmental pollution by importing all raw materials, we can only reduce energy consumption and emissions through energy-saving, emission reduction, and comprehensive utilization methods. ”
 

After 10 years of development, China has mastered the design and manufacturing technology of some heavy machinery, and some products have entered the forefront of the world. In the future, we should focus on ourselves to carry out technological innovation, research and integrate equipment with our own intellectual property rights. Faced with the subjective and objective development situation at home and abroad, Li Jing believes that the heavy machinery industry should closely focus on the needs of energy conservation and emission reduction, quality control, variety expansion, and industrial upgrading in the metallurgical industry, closely integrate with metallurgical processes, absorb mature scientific and technological knowledge, accelerate the improvement of self innovation soft power, and promote the sustainable and healthy development of the industry.
