Successful Case of Center Material Handling System

This corporation in a development zone of Harbin in China is a  new high tech enterprise mainly producing, developing, and marketing exclusive automotive modified plastics. It is a public company of NASDAQ. It was once a factory producing nylon in Harbin built in 1985. It owns a domestically leading research and development platform which consists of research institution, consultative group of experts, and postdoctoral scientific research station, as well as two large manufacturing bases and training center.

The corporation now is mainly producing modified universal plastics, modified engineering plastics, alloy plastics and environmental friendly plastics. It will gradually develop new products of high adding value, like modified Bioplastics, and special engineering plastics in the future. More than 90% of its products are applied into interior decorating pieces, exterior decorating pieces, and functional pieces of more than 30 car types of Audi, Hongqi, etc. It is the biggest manufacture of exclusive automotive modified plastics in China, having more than 100 products get identifications from automobile manufacturer. It is the well known supplier of some large enterprise groups, like FAW, Hafei, and Shenyang Brilliance.

The corporation completed their plant in 2012. It decided to introduce Shini central feeding system to further improving plant’s image and individual management.  After confirming the final solution is practical, Shini sent designers to examine on the spot to verify and get some related data, to understand details of requirement of clients. Then, Shini made a 3D working drawing of 1:1 according to conditions on the ground, data and clients’ requirements. Under supervision of supervising personnel appointed by clients, the whole project has been successfully completed according to the working drawing. The whole project from plan to construct is of science. Its system configuration is set out from multi-angle and its construction is rigorous and scientific. This project not only helps clients save cost and shorten time of putting the equipment into production but also lay a sound foundation of creating a good image of Shini by increasing efficiency of construction and saving construction cost.

The plan of system involves both conveying ways of positive pressure and negative pressure. Nine siloes of 200T outside the plant adopts conveying way of positive pressure while mixing and loading inside the plant uses the negative one.

About raw materials, the machine material is made of granule, recycled materials, talcum powder, and polypropylene powder. Using the roots blower which has higher and more air pressure and volume, raw materials are conveyed to gravimetric blender which guarantees products’ quality while mixing materials. Then raw materials are sent to machine production lines by distribution station. It realizes the aim of more accurately, more speedily, and more effectively conveying as well as successfully meets clients’ requirements of centralized mixing and conveying. Basing on analysis of the whole system’s operation performance, it can work smoothly with no blocking of materials if required volume of materials is met within 100m standard conveying distance. Using two SCCS-300-G-C and two SCCS-200-G-C, PLC central control station has up to 95 stations and its whole system meets clients’ requirement of centralized control.

The system was completed and put into work in January and still works well since then. It has realized the primal planning target, which is to meet clients’ requirements by greatly saving cost of labor, material, and energy, etc. and improving production efficiency. Some other clients came to visit the system after it was installed. They highly approved of such a way of operation and had signed purchase orders with us several days ago. This case not only shows that Shini keeps self-disciplined and pursuing self breakthrough on technology but also reveals that Shini will win recognition on brand from more clients’.
