Refractory material industry is the traditional manufacturing industry, is an essential part of the development of high temperature industry. The change of the competition pattern of the refractory industry has a great impact on the development of the refractory enterprises. With the further integration of refractory enterprises, most refractory enterprises were eliminated or annexed, the main reason is that the competitiveness of refractory bricks produced by enterprises is weak.

1.Promote the upgrading of brick press and promote the development of high quality and diversified products

  The performance of molding equipment affects the effect of refractory bricks molding, so it is very necessary for refractory enterprises to promote the upgrading of press. At present, the most used by refractory enterprises is servo press machine. Servo press machine adopts digital control, which can accurately control the hitting energy, freely adjust the hitting times, strength and speed to achieve flexible control and meet the needs of high-quality and diversified development of refractory bricks.

2.Improve the industrial chain and reduce production costs

  High cost is one of the factors of weak firebrick competitiveness. And firebrick cost is affected by raw material price. Therefore, refractory enterprises should bring material acquisition into the industrial chain, forming a complete industrial chain of raw material acquisition and processing - refractory brick production - product recovery, in order to resist the risks brought by price fluctuations and reduce production costs.

3.Increase investment in research and development of new firebricks and improve the technical content of firebricks

  In addition to the above factors, firebrick also has characteristics, so refractory enterprises should focus on the research and development of new firebrick to improve the technical content of firebrick and create firebrick characteristics so as to improve the competitiveness of firebrick.

  The development of refractory enterprises needs to adjust the strategy according to the changing situation. And the competition between refractory enterprises gradually deviated to the direction of differentiation competition. What refractory enterprises need to do is to upgrade the existing brick press machine and other equipment. The refractories production line centered on servo press machine lays a good foundation for enhancing the added value and competitiveness of refractories.
