02 NMS solutions assist you in the post-epidemic times

In the first half of the year, the epidemic broke out in many places, and various investment and construction projects were suspended. China’s economy was down, and the pressure was unprecedented. Subsequently, the demand for aggregates equipment was not strong, and the competition was fierce. Facing this situation, where should aggregates enterprises go?

In order to solve the crux of the current industry, Li Shunshan, Chairman of NMS, explained NMS solutions in his report on how to rebuild the market competitiveness of aggregates production enterprises in the post-epidemic times.

He pointed out that the current development of aggregates industry was changing deeply. Under continuous epidemic in the past three years, the aggregates industry, which has been developing rapidly for seven or eight years, was affected by factors such as insufficient newly started infrastructure projects, reduced investment in real estate development, and excessive investment in regional mineral rights. In some areas, the overcapacity of aggregates appeared, the price fell, and the future development of the industry was full of challenges.

When it was buyer’s market and the price was key, how to maintain the market competitiveness of large, medium and small aggregates enterprises was a matter of concern. NMS started from customer’s needs, focused on technology, management and enterprise culture, aimed at high capacity, stable production and consumption reduction, broke through bottlenecks at all levels, strengthened R&D and focused on lean, built an intelligent operation and maintenance platform, introduced digital marketing, and comprehensively transformed and upgraded to intelligent manufacturing.

In view of the key points of aggregates production technology, NMS developed YCJ and YMS testers, which were specially used for the analysis of rock processing characteristics to help equipment selection. The new process calculation software FlowSheet Designer independently developed by NMS Sweden R&D center could automatically calculate the flow and product ratio, simulate the impact of operating parameters on the calculation results in real time, and help optimize the process flow. NMS had a complete set of high-end crushing and screening products, which could fully meet customer’s needs and create benefits for them. In addition, NMS and Hubei Chudao Drilling Equipment Ltd. jointly funded the establishment of Nanchang Mining Service Technology Co., Ltd., which could provide professional production, operation and maintenance, help mining enterprises improve quality, reduce cost and increase efficiency, and enhance market competitiveness.

03 YCJ&YMS born to test rock

No reliable basis for equipment selection? Low accuracy of original testing equipment? No uniform international testing standard? NNS will help you solve the above problems.

During the dinner on 17th, NMS held the launch event for YCJ&YMS testers. NMS developed them based on the principle of crushing power and abrasion index testing and with the help of automation and software technology to provide critical of crushing power index and abrasion index. They can provide important parameter for equipment selection, support input of process flow design parameters, and make the evaluation of manufactured sand parent rock mine more comprehensively.

These two testers have filled the gap in the mechanical processing performance test of parent rock in China. In 2020, CAA organized experts to appraise the scientific and technological achievements of NMS aggregates parent rock processing property testers. The results showed that their overall level was leading in China and had reached international advanced level in terms of program control technology, safety, data storage and transmission.

The two testers use scientific and technological achievements of modern electromechanical integration and PLC controller to control the test process. The operator only needs to input relevant parameters on the screen, and the equipment will run automatically. After calculation by the independently developed test software, the results will be directly displayed and output, with a high degree of automation. The whole process of the test is monitored and recorded. The test data and results can be exported through the USB, and the operation is simple. The testers have low requirements on operator’s professional knowledge. They have high work efficiency, and completely eliminate the error probability of manual data recording. They are applicable to all manufacturers and scientific research institutes in the rock crushing industry and are suitable for large-scale promotion and application.
