early winter of Zichuan, after the first snow in winter, the sky is clear.
Entering the factory area of Shandong Chongzheng Special Cement Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Shandong Chongzheng Holding Group, the previous understanding of cement enterprises has been completely subverted. Garden factory, nearly 100 meters high preheater and rotary kiln production line, only machines running, few workers working.". Even in the sunshine, it is difficult for the naked eye to see the discharge of pollutants from the chimney outlet.
"The company has more than a dozen environmental monitoring stations at factory boundaries, roads and other places, including PM10 and PM2 in the factory area," Yue Weiliang, general manager of Shandong Chongzheng Special Cement Co., Ltd., told reporters with a smile.
In recent years, the traditional cement building materials market has experienced ups and downs, and the competition is fierce. How can Chongzheng Special Cement break cocoons into butterflies and realize the transformation from traditional industry to high-tech industry? In the current market downturn, how can Chongzheng Special Cement break through the tight encirclement and open up a new blue sea? In
1998, with the approval of Zibo Municipal Committee and Municipal Government, Shandong Chongzheng Holding Group was formally established on the basis of the former Zibo Building Material Industry Company. In 2000, the group standardized restructuring, precise positioning of cement specialization, limited diversification, the first cement dry rotary kiln production line in Zibo City was completed and put into operation in the group https://price.ccement.com/brandnewslist-1-1000554.2003. It has ended the history that there is no new dry rotary kiln cement production enterprise in Zibo.
Since 2007, Shandong Chongzheng Special Cement Co., Ltd. has officially started the production and research of special cement on the basis of general cement production. In 2008, through repeated adjustment and optimization of raw material formula, process parameters and operation mode, a series of products such as special clinker, oil well cement and sulfate-resistant Portland cement with high quality and low energy consumption were successfully developed. In 2009, the company successfully obtained the first special cement production license. Due to the stable product quality, excellent physical properties and steady improvement of market recognition, the company's special cement cost and quality advantages have gradually emerged, and it has become the preferred partner of the surrounding special cement enterprises and the high-quality supplier of Sinopec and PetroChina. Since then, the research and development of special cement products and market expansion of
Shandong Chongzheng Holding Group have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
In 2010, the company obtained the API certification of oil well cement from the American Petroleum Institute, and then successively obtained the production license qualification of special cement products such as road Portland cement, Portland cement for nuclear power engineering, medium-heat Portland cement and low-heat Portland cement. At present, the company has become the largest manufacturer of special cement products in the province.
R & D center is committed to the R & D and performance improvement of special cement to meet customer needs; on the other hand, the key technology of special cement is applied to improve the performance index of general cement, and improve the performance of general cement such as sulfate corrosion resistance, wear resistance and chloride corrosion resistance. A large number of comparative tests of admixture, control parameters of cement mill and adaptability test of cement and admixture were carried out, which provided a basis for production control and adjustment. Yue Weiliang, general manager of Shandong Chongzheng Special Cement Co., Ltd., told reporters.
Anchoring the direction of sustainable development of enterprises led by the production and research of special cement, Shandong Chongzheng Special Cement Co., Ltd. mainly promotes a variety of special cement, which has maintained a good competitive advantage and first-mover situation in the market competition of special cement in Shandong and East China. In
2023, there were frequent reports of success of Chongzheng special cement. In May, it won the bid for an airport project in Shandong Province, and in the first half of the year, it completed the delivery of 40,000 tons of cement for airport special roads. In the second half of the year, it stood out again in the bidding for the construction project of Baima River Airport and undertook the task of guaranteeing 150,000 tons of special cement, creating a new milestone in the development of Shandong Chongzheng Special Cement Co., Ltd., marking that "special cement" is becoming the company's leading product and the main profit growth point, as well as the benchmark and model of special cement enterprises in Shandong Province.
Innovation for a long time, to create a high-tech enterprise
in the cement industry, cement market winter, why Chongzheng special cement "outshines others"?
Cement can also be customized?
"With the continuous transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry, customized services with higher technology content are the future direction, which also means higher added value.". Chongzheng Special Cement, relying on the advantages of product research and development and rich practical experience, can realize the switching of multi-variety cement production on the scale of 3000 tons per day kiln. Lu Chuanyu, chairman of Shandong Chongzheng Special Cement Co., Ltd., told reporters.
In recent years, the company has organized the production of special retarding cement for highway, "low alkali and low chlorine cement" which can greatly prolong the service life of concrete, "anti-salt corrosion agent cement" which optimizes the performance of general cement, and "fly ash oil well cement" which has good thixotropy.
Through the customized service of cement products, it not only fills the gap in the market, meets the needs of customers, and greatly improves the satisfaction of customers to the products; at the same time, the development and utilization of new products also effectively improves the market share of the company's products, and achieves the goal of "outshining others" in the severe winter when the cement market as a whole is declining.
"Innovative and practical products" is the new standard of Chongzheng special cement for its own products.
In Yue Weiliang's view, "innovative and practical products" are high-quality products that can meet customer needs, provide customers with personalized solutions to specific problems, optimize and confirm special parameters and schemes on the construction site, and provide a comprehensive service system for product quality, price, service and performance improvement.
"The purpose of the company's research and development of characteristic cement is to provide customers with tailor-made personalized products. We will re-examine the positioning of the company's products from the perspective of customers, and upgrade the factory cement from" standard products "to" innovative and practical products ", so as to effectively enhance the added value of products and customer recognition, and enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises." Lu Chuanyu told reporters.
In order to better meet the needs of users, the company is constantly innovating and upgrading its own requirements. While developing new cement products, the company will deeply integrate the advantages of technological transformation with fine management, and purchase the online automatic monitoring and analysis system for the quality of raw materials from the United States. With the help of "Internet +" information technology, the statistical analysis of quality testing data shows that the quality and performance of clinker and cement are more stable, and a variety of water reducers and admixtures from many customers. It has been highly recognized by everyone.
In order to stimulate the team's innovation motivation to the greatest extent, the company carries out the assessment system of "R & D product project manager responsibility system", and the R & D product project manager is appointed by the company or recommended by the individual, which breaks the existing organizational system of personnel, and the project manager puts forward the idea of R & D products, and uses WeChat to nail up the product R & D group. Extensive exchanges with all levels and positions of the company, so that the majority of cadres and staff actively participate in, stimulate grass-roots R & D motivation. The company sets up special R & D funds according to product projects, and increases R & D investment and incentive assessment.Continuous deep cultivation and large investment
in the field of special cement have promoted the continuous improvement of the company's scientific and technological innovation capability. The company's special cement research and development center has been awarded "Zibo Engineering Laboratory" and "Zibo Enterprise Technology Center"; the company's leading product trademark has been awarded "Shandong Famous Trademark"; The company has also been rated as a high-tech enterprise, a certification enterprise for the integration of industrialization and industrialization, a provincial second-level enterprise for safety production standardization, a provincial innovative small and medium-sized enterprise, a top 100 industrial enterprise in Zibo City, a benchmark enterprise for high-quality development in Zichuan District, and has won the honorary titles of the first batch of digital economy "Morning Star Factory" in Shandong Province and a municipal green factory. Scientific and technological innovation has made this high-tech enterprise in the cement industry, injected sustained development momentum into the development of enterprises, and radiated strong vitality. The product being tested
here is low-heat and low-magnetic cement, and there is no corresponding national standard in this field at present. Once our research and development is successful, our standards will become the main reference for the formulation of national standards. In a laboratory of the technology research and development center, Shao Chenggong, deputy general manager of Shandong Chongzheng Special Cement Co., Ltd., told reporters. Low magnetic cement is a new concept cement proposed to prevent magnetic interference and magnetic exposure in national defense engineering and precision engineering, which is a new index requirement for cement characteristics. It can reduce the hydration heat of cement and has low magnetic properties at the same time, which is still a blank in the industry at present, and can be applied to the construction of dams, water plants or marine military projects with large volume structures, which is of great significance to national defense and marine military industry. At present, many cement enterprises are also making efforts in this field, and Shandong Chongzheng Special Cement Co., Ltd. has increased its research and development efforts.
"In the future, with the continuous improvement of national requirements for infrastructure and strategic projects, the requirements for cement performance and quality will inevitably be improved accordingly.". Shandong Chongzheng Holding Group will continue to strengthen the research and development of special cement technology, take road cement as a breakthrough, and make sustained efforts in the fields of airport and highway. At the same time, we should keep a close eye on the frontier track, continue to promote the structural transformation and product upgrading of special cement in accordance with the requirements of the 14th Five-Year Plan of Shandong Building Materials Industry and the annual work objectives of enterprises, seek steady breakthroughs in progress, guarantee the supply chain, extend the industrial chain, and form regional influence and brand competitiveness in Shandong and East China. Build the whole industry base of special cement in Shandong and East China, and strive to be the top soldier in the field of special cement. Ma Naixiao, chairman of Shandong Chongzheng Holding Group, told reporters.
Cement, a seemingly ordinary building material product, is the skeleton of a major project. Various cement products of Shandong Chongzheng Holding Group are widely used in large-scale construction and civil infrastructure projects such as seaports, wharfs, roads and bridges, and have won many honorary titles such as "China Cement Excellent Product" and "Shandong Famous Trademark". This year, Shandong Chongzheng Special Cement Co., Ltd. won the bid for benchmarking projects such as airports and roads, relying on the hard power of special cement.
"The difference between ordinary cement and special cement is more reflected in durability.". In the field where special cement should be used, there is no obvious difference in the short term, but when the problem occurs a few years later, the impact and consequences are irreparable. Therefore, Shandong Chongzheng Holding Group has been calling for strengthening industry self-discipline, using matching quality products in strict accordance with design requirements, and ensuring that the century-old project is foolproof, and will continue to do so. Ma Naixiao, chairman of Shandong Chongzheng Holding Group, has a profound understanding of the term Centennial Project.
