Electrolytic aluminum industry ushers in the inflection point of development, leading to a surge in demand for new mining equipment
2012-10-11 Industry News HITS:

Recently, under the strong control of the government, the electrolytic aluminum industry, which has been positioned as "overcapacity", is currently facing a situation of demand exceeding supply. In the process of simultaneous increase in quantity and price, most electrolytic aluminum enterprises have regained profitability, and the capacity utilization rate is approaching the limit.

In the past, when talking about "aluminum", the insiders cannot help shaking their heads and saying they are not optimistic. However, after several years of silence, especially since June this year, electrolytic aluminum has emerged from the base metals, swept away the past decline, and broken the industry's long-standing "prejudice" with rising prices. According to relevant people, there are two main factors that stimulate the rise of electrolytic aluminum. On the one hand, the current summer peak of electricity consumption has led to a shortage of power supply, which has restricted the operating rate of the electrolytic aluminum industry, thus reducing the supply of electrolytic aluminum; On the other hand, affected by the rising cost of raw materials, this measure of power enterprises to adjust electricity prices has also greatly affected the cost of electrolytic aluminum production enterprises.

Looking back over the past few years, China's economy has developed at a high speed. In the process of urbanization in China, consumer goods such as infrastructure, public utilities, housing and automobiles have greatly driven the consumer demand for electrolytic aluminum in China from the side. If the electrolytic aluminum industry wants to develop, it fundamentally needs the continuous supply of bauxite. Therefore, it can be said that the expansion of the demand for electrolytic aluminum market has also accelerated the pace of large-scale mining of aluminum resources in China.

However, relevant data show that China's aluminum ore resources can only last for 10 years. Although Guizhou is a gathering place of bauxite, unreasonable mining, crushing, screening and other backward production methods further lead to waste of bauxite resources. We know that the most critical link in mining is crushing. The effect of crushing directly determines the utilization rate of ores. In addition to the issuance of national documents such as energy conservation, emission reduction and accountability, selecting high-efficient and energy-saving crushing equipment has become a magic weapon for aluminum industry to reduce costs and occupy the market. According to a person in charge of a mining company in Guizhou Province, the crushing equipment they are currently using is developed and produced by Zhengzhou Dingsheng Engineering Technology Co., Ltd., a well-known domestic mining machinery manufacturer. Dingsheng engineers have adopted a combination of jaw crusher and cone crusher in the crushing production line for specific materials of bauxite, greatly improving the ore crushing degree, and the equipment is easy to maintain The energy consumption is low, so the mining cost of ore is fundamentally reduced.

Throughout the market, the rising trend of aluminum prices cannot be changed, but the shortage of energy resources is also an unavoidable problem, which has prompted major mining companies around the world to actively introduce advanced equipment, improve technical capacity, reduce production costs, and change from the traditional extensive production mode to the new intensive production mode, thus improving the utilization rate of aluminum resources, We will achieve a win-win situation in which China's economic and ecological benefits develop simultaneously.
