Since the start of this year, the intelligent coal mining equipment developed and manufactured by Tianming Machinery Group in Lianyungang has broken the technical blockade and monopoly of foreign countries on the domestic market for more than 20 years. The company has attributed its success to the breakthroughs in innovation and the upper hand in fierce market competition.
Intelligent scraper conveyor is the key equipment for modern coal mining. The core technology has long been monopolized by European and American countries, making it costly due to the long supply cycle and slow after-sales service.
Tianming Group has developed and rolled off the line the world's first set of 8.8-meter high-scraping scraper complete sets of equipment to replace similar imported products. Adopted by the National Energy Group Shendong Coal Company due to the high quality and low price, the equipment has also been purchased by Peabody Energy Corporation, setting a historic record for the export of Chinese scraper conveyors to the United States.
Tianming Machinery has attributed its success of breaking the foreign monopoly to its continuous innovation. In 2008, Lu Mingli, the founder of the group, aimed at the conveyor market and set up a technical research team to develop intelligent scraper equipment in three years. After the goal was reached, the company spent another 7 years of technical research to have developed the world's first set of 8.8-meter-high scraping machine.
In order to secure a more stable market, Tianming Machinery has taken the initiative to solve innovative scientific research tasks through various talent introductions and technical cooperation. In the meantime, the local government has also provided tax and fee reduction and targeted support to help enterprises build a large-scale instrument and equipment sharing and patent trading platform.
