Initial results of independent innovation It is understood that in recent years, China's water pump manufacturing industry has been guided by market demand, with the goal of completing complete sets of major technical equipment, and has achieved a series of research results on key products, which has basically satisfied the needs of various departments of the national economy. demand. In 2010, key enterprises of the Pump Industry Association achieved a production value of 35.5 billion yuan, an increase of 10% year-on-year, and a total of 4 billion yuan in profits and taxes, a year-on-year increase of 5%.

During the "11th Five-Year Plan" period, China's pump industry has cumulatively developed thousands of New Products, and the accumulated total value of new products has reached 49.8 billion yuan. In 2010, the output value of new products reached 11.8 billion yuan, an average increase of 16% in five years. Some pump companies have made remarkable achievements in independent innovation. Shengu Group Nuclear Pump Co., Ltd. has successfully developed a nuclear secondary pump containment spray pump, waste heat discharge pump, electric auxiliary feed pump, and passed the national appraisal.

Chongqing Pump Plant Co., Ltd. has independently developed a pump with independent intellectual property rights, indicating that China's centrifugal pump design and manufacturing technology has reached the world's advanced level and is of great significance to the development of China's nuclear power business. The first AP1000 nuclear power plant conventional island water pumping unit developed and produced by Shanghai Electric Power Renovation Plant Co., Ltd. has ended the long history of China’s dependence on imports and made contributions to the realization of nuclear power equipment in China. In terms of thermal power, the 1 million kilowatt ultra The successful development of critical boiler feed pumps ended the history of long-term import of core packages by domestic pump companies.

Lin Kaiwen, chairman of Shanghai Kaiquan Pump Group Co., Ltd., introduced at the meeting that Kaiquan Pumps has been engaged in the pump industry since the 1990s. It has been more than 20 years. Currently, it has built 5 production bases in China. Pump product R&D, R&D investment reached RMB 600 million in the past three years, and the R&D team reached several hundred. The reporter saw at the Kaiquan Shanghai factory that the pumping station laboratories and the heavy pump production workshop that they are building have been built. It is expected to be completed in February next year and the investment will reach 150 million yuan. "The pump industry is characterized by relatively stable returns, but the current domestic industry is facing lower levels of research and development, R & D investment is limited, some markets were occupied by foreign capital and joint ventures. Therefore, in the past few years, Kaiquan Pumps did not do other business, Only invest in the pump industry, China's market is so good, how can you give it away?" Lin Ke-wen is full of power in whispers.

The establishment of a new innovation system Tian Hongxing also said at the meeting that the current investment in R&D in the pump industry is insufficient for a long time. The entire research and development expenses of the pump industry are not as good as those of a large foreign company. Therefore, some of the domestic water pump manufacturing companies are mostly low-end processing links, and important technologies still rely on imports. Therefore, Tian Hongxing called on the industry to vigorously carry out independent innovation work and build a new type of water pump independent innovation system and mechanism.

He believes that we must first establish an innovation system. According to the comprehensive planning and regional planning of the water pump manufacturing industry, a group of regional leading technologies and product development laboratories, experimental bases, and product development centers will be established in the future. Relying on scientific research institutions with strong innovation capabilities, we will build pilots for spreading scientific and technological achievements and encourage and support the establishment of pump manufacturing technology research and development centers. At the same time, improve the technology promotion system. The grass-roots pump manufacturing technology promotion organization was reformed to clarify its public-welfare functions, and a multi-pump water pump manufacturing technology promotion system led by the National Pump Manufacturing Technology Promotion Organization was gradually established, and a water pump manufacturing technology training system was established. Second, establish an innovation mechanism. Improve the scientific and technological funding investment and performance evaluation mechanism, establish and improve industry science and technology decision-making consultation system.

Delegates also participated in the discussion of the “12th Five-Year Plan for Pump Industry Development”. In the next five years, the goal of the pump development plan is to increase the proportion of scientific research and development investment to the GDP of the water pump manufacturing industry to more than 6%, the contribution rate of the scientific and technological progress of the water pump manufacturing industry to 68%, and to promote an innovative water pump with modern equipment manufacturing as the core.
