Graphite equipment industry technical barriers

(1) Technical barriers

Graphite equipment refers to the equipment made of graphite material as the basic raw material, which is used in a wide range of fields. The main graphite equipment products include graphite synthesis furnace, graphite heat exchanger, graphite reactor and other types of graphite equipment and corresponding accessories, its production and manufacturing process is relatively complex, and the one-time investment is large. It needs to meet the technical requirements of corrosion resistance, high density, high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, long service life and high heat transfer efficiency. 

Graphite equipment is usually a non-standard product, which needs to be produced according to customers' requirements to adapt to different specific use scenarios. After receiving the customer's order, company generally needs to go through the process of product performance analysis, raw material customization, process design and adjustment, which requires more human and material resources investment, which has high requirements for the technical strength and technical conditions.

Only through the accumulation of long-term production and testing experience, as well as the mastery and reserve of advanced technology, can the product have sufficient market competitiveness. If new enterprises entering the graphite equipment industry cannot master mature technologies and establish sound production systems and standards in a short time, they will face the risk of being eliminated from the market.

(2) Talent barrier

Graphite equipment industry has higher requirements for the production enterprises and related personnel experience, rich industry experience can be more conducive to the design and delivery of customized products for customers. Therefore, experienced technicians are an important foundation for the company's development. Graphite equipment is characterized by non-standardization and customization, which not only requires experienced production personnel to carry out customized design and production according to the specific use scenario of customers in the production process, but also when the customer has the demand, experienced after-sales engineers will rush to the customer site to solve the technical problems related to the equipment in the first time, which is very important for the technical ability of employees and puts forward higher requirements for work experience. If enterprises newly entering the graphite equipment industry cannot organize a team of highly skilled and experienced personnel, they will face the risk of insufficient competitiveness.

(3) Brand and customer resource barriers

The main downstream customers of the graphite equipment industry are large state-owned enterprises, listed companies and other large mature chemical enterprises. The equipment suppliers have been strictly screened and invited for bidding. For downstream customers and manufacturers, the comprehensive brand effect formed by the technical level, product quality, market reputation and marketing service of the manufacturer is an important factor that downstream customers need to consider when selecting graphite equipment suppliers. A good brand effect needs long-term precipitation and accumulation. Therefore, there are high brand and customer resource barriers in this industry. Welcome to communicate with us about the industry news of graphite products.
