In the first half of the year, Guilin Rubber Machinery exports accounted for 19 percent of the delivery value of export, and its ratio of new product output value to fixed assets reached 55 percent. Because scientific innovations have become an important part of increased competitiveness in recent years, developing an innovation-oriented enterprise has become the major task for this plant.
The plant places a great deal of importance on the application of its patented developments. And, while developing new types of environmentally friendly, energy-saving, safe, and efficient products, it has committed itself to producing excellent products with the greatest stability, and providing customers with the utmost in service. One of its national patents is for a Turning-in-and-out device with a mechanical arm for a tire press used in a new 65.5-inch (1680) hydraulic press. This new patented device gets rid of the old difficult-to-control mechanical arms, the inflexibility, the shaking, and the lack of precision after a certain period of use in the traditional type of press, so that its quality is not affected. This device’s advantages are stable performance, precision, durability, simple structure, and easier operation, for assembly and maintenance. This newly developed RIB type tire curing press was available to customers in early August. It is reported that this type has adopted a number of utility model patents.
