China's first million-tonnage PTA dryer successfully developed

China's first million-tonnage PTA dryer was successfully developed in Jinxi Chemical Machinery Group recently, which ended the history of long-term reliance on imported key petrochemical equipment in China and filled the gap in major domestic equipment manufacturing fields.

The one-million-ton PTA dryer is one of the key research projects in China's "Eleventh Five-Year Plan". PTA is a raw material for the production of polyester films, fibers and packaging resins, while polyester fibers and packaging resins are important raw materials for apparel, food and beverage packaging and other industries. In recent years, domestic PTA production has been unable to keep up with market demand. The one-million-ton PTA dryer is an important device for PTA to achieve large-scale production. In the past, it all relied on foreign imports, and the price of each set of equipment was as high as 100 million yuan. At present, the price of this dryer independently developed in China is only half that of imported equipment, and production delivery time can be reduced by half compared with similar foreign companies.
