Proud of the 70 years of achievements in the textile machinery industry

Before the establishment of New China, Ding Zengxi had already become attached to the textile industry. In July 1946, he was admitted to the textile machinery industry after he was admitted to the technical training class held by the First Machinery Factory of Qingdao China Textile Corporation. After the founding of New China, Ding Zengxi worked as a technician in Qingdao Textile Machinery Factory and later transferred to the Ministry of Textile Industry. He served as an engineer of the Construction Department of the Ministry of Textile Industry, a deputy general manager of the Textile Machinery Corporation, and a deputy director of the Technical Equipment Department. He participated in Jinshan. Yizheng and other major textile machinery and equipment projects.

Talking about the 70-year development history of China's textile machinery industry, Ding Zengxi first recalled the status of textile machinery manufacturing during the three-year recovery of the national economy. He used the carding machine made by the Qingfang machine as an example. The output of the machine was only 5 to 7 kilograms, the spindle speed of the spinning machine was 12,000 rpm, and the capacity of the million spindles was as many as 300, but even this The machine was also difficult to manufacture at the time. Ding Zengxi said with emotion that despite the weak foundation at that time, under the leadership of the party, we have become self-reliant, hard-working, continually learning and hardworking, and the gap between domestic textile machinery and foreign product technology has gradually narrowed. He happily recalled the story of the struggle of textile people in different periods in the 70 years since the founding of New China, and described the technological progress of key textile machinery factories such as Qingfang Machinery and Yizheng Chemical Fiber. In October 2013, when the textile retired cadre bureau organized retired veteran comrades to revisit Yizheng Chemical Fiber, he went to see the polyester staple fiber production site. The factory leader said that the Yizheng Chemical Fiber Three Branches have 20 annual output of 15,000 tons of polyester staple fiber equipment. The operation is stable and reliable, and it is even better than imported equipment. He is very happy.

When talking about the technological progress of China's textile machinery after entering the new century, Ding Zengxi said with a smile: "At present, China's textile machinery technology is very close to the international advanced level. Some factories have realized full process intelligent production, no nighttime. I am very proud of being a person and a participant, and I am very proud to be a witness and a participant!"

Ding Zengxi said with emotion: "I have been engaged in textile machinery and technology work for the rest of my life. With the support of my superiors and colleagues, although I have done some work, I still can't say what I have achieved. Now I have more than nine ranks, sharing national construction and reform and opening up. On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the blessing of the motherland is becoming more prosperous and the people of all nationalities in the country will live happily and happily!"
