Chuzhou Zhonglian Cement Co., Ltd. has an aggregate production line with an annual production capacity of 2 million tons and a 200t/H fine machine-made sand production line. Since it was put into operation in 2019, the aggregate workshop of the enterprise has always been driven by innovation and lean management, vividly practicing a new chapter of transformation and upgrading. In
2022, with the integration of the cement sector of China National Building Material Group, Chuzhou Zhonglian Cement Co., Ltd. took the "cement plus" mode as the core to build an industrial ecology of coordinated development of cement, aggregate and mine. The aggregate workshop adheres to the concept of "production revolves around marketing and products revolve around quality", actively breaks the situation in the downward cycle of the industry, deeply links up with the marketing team, accurately perceives the changes in market demand, and dynamically adjusts the product strategy according to the personalized needs of customers. We will continue to develop differentiated products such as water-washed sand, rice and high-graded aggregates to form a diversified product matrix covering the whole scene of engineering construction. This strategy effectively enhanced the adaptability and market competitiveness of products, and key projects such as Nanjing North Railway Station and Beiyanjiang high-speed rail were included in the cooperation territory one after another. Even in the overall downward trend of the industry, the aggregate business still achieved continuous and stable profits. Since 2019, it has accumulated a net profit of 308 million yuan, which has become an important support for the high-quality development of enterprises.
As a benchmark position for the construction of industrial workers, the "Labor Model Innovation Studio" led by Liu Xiaojun, the head of the enterprise and a model worker in Anhui Province, has always taken technological research as the core of cost reduction and efficiency enhancement. Aiming at the long-standing pain points of "uneven feeding and poor product stability" in aggregate production, the technical team successfully developed the "precise feeding control technology for crushing" through hundreds of tests and data modeling, which improved the feeding accuracy of raw materials by 20% and the crushing efficiency by 15%, and achieved remarkable results in innovation and transformation. With safe production as the bottom line, the workshop has continued to carry out technological innovation: since 2019, more than ten key technological transformations have been implemented, creating direct economic benefits of more than 6 million yuan, and simultaneously promoting the improvement of technological level and staff skills. The innovative achievements of the workshop have been highly recognized by the industry, the self-developed machine-made sand quantitative humidification device has won the national utility model patent, the "Technological Innovation Award" of China Building Materials Group in 2020, and the "Worker Pioneer" of Nanqiao District of Chuzhou City in 2022. In 2024 and 2025, it was awarded the title of "Advanced Team" of Southern Cement and "Advanced Collective" of China Building Materials Group.
Standing at the new starting point of high-quality development, the aggregate workshop of Chuzhou Zhonglian Cement Co., Ltd. will continue to take "materials create a better world" as its mission, vigorously promote the spirit of model workers, labor and craftsmen, and continue to cultivate on the dual track of innovation-driven and lean management, so as to inject strong momentum into the transformation and upgrading of enterprises.
