The era of drying equipment based on imports has ended. Changzhou enterprises can basically manufacture common drying equipment, and Changzhou drying equipment products have begun to enter a more mature stage of development, and have formed a certain scale of development, but there are still some problems and hidden concerns such as high energy consumption and low production capacity.

干燥设备以进口为主的时代已经结束，常州企业基本都能制造常见的干燥设备，常州干燥设备产品已经开始进入较成熟的发展阶段，已经形成了一定的发展规模，但目前还存在诸如耗能大、产能低等一些问题和隐忧。

Changzhou drying equipment industry must choose the right development direction, that is, take the road of benign development.In order to embark on a benign development path, the drying equipment industry in Changzhou needs to start from the following three aspects.First, we must speed up the establishment of a standard system. Enterprises should have high requirements for the quality standards of their products in order to develop a benign development. The work of setting standards for drying equipment from the chemical point of view has not been carried out in large scale, and many drying equipment companies have not attached great importance to standards. In addition, the standard will regulate the internal management of the enterprise, and there are quantitative indicators in the standard. Drying equipment companies should pay enough attention.

常州干燥设备行业必须选择好正确的发展方向，即走良性发展之路。常州干燥设备行业走上良性发展道路，需要从以下三个方面入手。首先，要加快建立标准体系。企业应该对自己产品的质量标准有很高的要求，这样才能形成良性的发展。从化工角度制定干燥设备标准的工作还没有大面积展开，很多干燥设备企业还没有高度重视标准。另外，标准会规范企业内部的管理，标准中有定量的指标约束。干燥设备企业应该引起足够的重视。

The upgrade of drying equipment structure is relatively minor, enterprises should strengthen such awareness---in the process of designing and manufacturing drying equipment,the first problem to be recognized and solved is the combination of equipment and technology, the equipment structure shall be determined according to the nature of materials. The high-end enterprises in the drying equipment industry are able to combine equipment and technology well, they are all companies with a deep understanding of downstream users' materials. In many instances of device failure,everyone thinks it's the device itself,It is actually the reason that equipment and material do not match with each other.

二、干燥设备本身结构的升级相对来讲是比较次要的，企业要强化这样的意识——在设计制造干燥设备时，首要认识和解决的问题是设备与工艺的结合，要根据物料的性质来确定设备结构。干燥设备行业内的高端企业都是能够把设备与工艺很好地结合的企业，都是对下游用户的物料有深刻了解的企业。在很多设备使用失败的例子中，大家都认为是设备的问题，其实是设备与物料不相匹配的问题。因此，企业要高度重视对下游用户物料的了解和认识，以此来设计生产设备。了解更多请查阅中国报告大厅发布的《2013-2018年中国干燥设备市场深度分析告》。

Third, the number of enterprises is not necessarily a lot, but enterprises must have a certain scale and technical level. The time for developing dry technology in Changzhou is not very long. The company has not experienced large economic fluctuations and large industry reshuffle in the past. The rule of the drying industry in Changzhou is that the threshold of entry is relatively low, and ordinary workers can run a business. This is also the reason why the number of drying equipment companies in Changzhou is relatively high. With the trend of decreasing product strength,  more and more enterprises are using low-consumption and high-output technology. One of its main parts is the advanced nature of dehydration methods to reduce energy consumption and product waste and loss. In this context, drying equipment must be developed to high efficiency and high output.

三、企业数量不一定很多，但企业要有一定的规模和技术水平。常州发展干燥技术的时间不是很长，企业过去没有经历过大的经济波动和大的行业洗牌。常州干燥行业的规律是，入门门槛比较低，普通工人就可以办一个企业，这也是常州干燥设备企业数量比较多的原因。随着产品力度不断变细的趋势，越来越多的企业在使用低消耗高产出的工艺，其主要部分之一就是脱水方法的先进性，以降低能耗及产品浪费和损耗的程度，在这大背景下，干燥设备必须向高效率高产量发展。

Products must comply with the national environmental protection and energy conservation policy orientation.In recent years, the drying equipment industry in Changzhou has made great progress, and the products are constantly being updated, which greatly meets the ever-changing needs of the market.Drying equipment companies began to focus on developing new technologies, and development has entered a new stage.For a long time,Changzhou drying equipment industry has always had such characteristics:The production scale is small, the entry threshold is low,the overall technical content is not high, and the product grade isgenerally low and similar.But nowadays, high-tech products are emerging as the backbone of the drying equipment manufacturing industry.China's drying equipment manufacturing enterprises must constantly learn from international advanced technology, combine practical experience, explore new technologies, develop new technologies,and come up with new products to participate in international competition.

四、产品必须符合国家环保与节能的政策导向。近年来，常州干燥设备行业取得了很大的进步，产品不断推陈出新，极大地满足了市场不断变化的需求。干燥设备企业开始注重开发新技术，发展进入了新阶段。长期以来，常州干燥设备行业一直有这样的特点：生产规模小，入门门槛低，整体技术含量不高，产品档次普遍偏低、雷同。但如今，高科技含量产品正在催生干燥设备制造业骨干企业的涌现。我国干燥设备制造企业必须不断借鉴国际先进技术，结合实际使用经验，探索新工艺，开发新技术，拿出新产品去参与国际竞争。

In international competition, the main competitors of Changzhou drying equipment manufacturers are Denmark, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States and Japan. Compared with competitors, Changzhou drying equipment has the advantage of low price. It is hoped that Changzhou enterprises will accelerate the pace of product technology update,improve the technology content and the development status of the drying equipment industry in Changzhou will compete with foreign competitors in the future international market.

在国际竞争中，常州干燥设备生产企业的主要竞争对手是丹麦、瑞士、英国、德国、美国以及日本等。与竞争对手相比，常州干燥设备的优势是价格低廉，希望常州企业在产品技术更新上加快步伐，提高科技含量行业，常州干燥设备行业的发展现状在将来的国际市场上能够和国外的竞争对手一较高下。
