"Electric Engine" Helps Traditional Industries Radiate New Vitality

In the factory, cocoon cooking, threading, silk reeling, silk dipping, silk returning... Under the high-speed operation of vacuum negative pressure cocoon cooking machine, automatic threading machine, sealed high-speed silk returning machine and silk reeling machine, batch after batch of high-end raw silk has "gone offline". This is what the reporter saw recently in the production workshop of Hongqi Silk Co., Ltd. in Lezhi County, Sichuan Province.

It is understood that the company was established in 1958. In recent years, the local power supply company has promoted the iterative updating of the local sericulture industry technology by promoting the substitution of high power electric energy, making this old silk factory with a history of more than 60 years rejuvenate.

"In the past, we used traditional textile machinery such as flying looms and hydraulic looms, which required special personnel to operate and adjust the hydraulic equipment, so the production efficiency was low. With sufficient power supply, we have transformed into a higher degree of automated production mode, added modern machinery and equipment such as intelligent cocoon selection, and achieved increased production and income year by year. Now the "white cocoon" has really become the "golden silk" to become rich. " Qin Bo, head of the factory area of Hongqi Silk Co., Ltd., said.

"In the past, we used to bite the thread and knot with our teeth. So Qianjin Factory requires not only good eyes, but also good teeth, and also three months' skill learning." Now, Liu Qin, a 50 year old female worker, stands in front of the automatic silk reeling machine and skillfully adjusts the control buttons, quickly connecting the broken cotton, wool, hemp, chemical fiber, etc. through automatic equipment.

"Power is the lifeblood of our factory's production." Qin Bo said that for a long time in the past, the factory was often plagued by power outages because it had no special lines. "We also need to cut off power when building roads outside, which leads to a high rate of damage to our equipment, high and low power supply voltage, which is very unstable and difficult to produce efficiently and with high quality."

Now, under the escort of electricity, the silk factory has increased its investment in technology and equipment, carried out research on key technologies in the production process, and solved the problem of raw silk cocoon quality fluctuations.
