🏭 Two Major Million-Ton Projects Advance and Produce, Providing Over 2,000 Jobs! 🏭

Since the beginning of this year, the Yunnan Xinping Industrial Park (hereinafter referred to as "the Park") has firmly established a clear direction of "focusing on industry, mainly on industry, and firmly on manufacturing". It insists on planning the development of the park and the economic development of Xinping County as a whole, promoting work as a whole, and allocating elements as a whole. Relying on "main chain" enterprises such as Yunnan Yuxi Xianfu Steel (Group) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xianfu Steel"), the park has vigorously promoted the construction of upstream and downstream extension projects of the steel industry, promoting the extension, supplementation, and strengthening of the steel industry chain, and making every effort to promote economic development.

🔨 Annual Production of 1 Million Tons 🔨

Coking Project is Advancing in an orderly Manner

At the construction site of the Xianfu Steel's Annual Production of 1 Million Tons Coking Project in the Yangwu area of the Green Steel City area of the park, the scene is bustling with activity. The rammer releases the tamper, smashing the foundation and spreading shock waves; the excavator swings its long arm, excavating earth and loading it onto vehicles; the dump trucks shuttle back and forth, transporting earth to fill high and low...

"The project has completed slope support and is currently leveling the land. In terms of procedures, energy assessment and other work has been completed, and environmental assessment and other procedures are being handled. It is expected to officially start work within a month after the completion of the procedures," said Li Feng, Assistant to the General Manager and Manager of the Technical Transformation Department of Xianfu Steel. The project is an upstream supporting project of Xianfu Steel, with an estimated investment of 2.199 billion yuan, covering a total area of 1,200 acres. After completion, it is expected to provide 630 job positions, achieving an annual operating income of 3 billion yuan and a profit and tax of 100 million yuan.

"After the completion of the project, it will achieve an annual production of 1 million tons of dry coke, meeting nearly 70% of Xianfu Steel's annual production fuel demand, greatly reducing the cost of fuel purchase and achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement," said Li Feng. "In addition, it can also ensure the supply of high-quality and stable fuel for blast furnaces, prevent fuel from being too mixed and causing 'cold' in blast furnaces, and further improve the comprehensive risk resistance of the enterprise."

Apart from dry coke, the project is expected to produce 463 million cubic meters of coke oven gas, 54,484 tons of coke tar, 12,667 tons of crude benzene, and 12,259 tons of ammonium sulfate annually after completion. "Some of these by-products can be used for combustion power generation, and some can be used for processing urea, etc., which can further improve the enterprise's self-generated electricity ratio and achieve comprehensive energy utilization," said Li Feng.

💹 Annual Production of 2.6 Million Tons 💹

Trial Production of the First Phase of Welded Steel Pipe Project

A 20-minute drive from the construction site of the annual production of 1 million tons of coking project, you will arrive at the construction site of Yunnan Zhengda Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhengda Company")'s annual production of 2.6 million tons of welded steel pipe project, also located in the Yangwu area. You can see the factory buildings, office buildings, staff dormitories, canteens, and other buildings rising from the ground, with towering cranes standing tall. Li Yanzong, General Manager of Zhengda Company, introduced that the first phase of the project, including 5 high-frequency welded pipes, 3 hot-dip galvanized round pipes, 2 hot-dip galvanized square pipes, and 5 square pipe production lines, has been completed and put into trial production. It currently employs more than 500 people, and the annual production capacity is expected to reach 1.73 million tons after reaching production.

It is understood that the project is divided into two phases, with a total investment of 1.2 billion yuan. After the completion and production of the two phases, it is expected to produce 2.6 million tons of various types of welded steel pipes annually, achieve an annual output value of about 15 billion yuan, contribute about 300 million yuan in taxes, and provide about 1,500 job positions.

"The nearby steel enterprises are concentrated, and there are abundant steel resources, which can fully meet the raw material needs of the project's production," said Li Yanzong when talking about the original intention of building the factory here. It is understood that the project was signed on October 1, 2023, and it took only 37 days from the investigation and negotiation to the formal signing, setting a new speed for investment attraction in Xinping.

Are all pallet jack wheels the same?

No, they are different.

First, though, let's differentiate between pallet jacks, also some people called them pallet trucks. Pallet jacks are usually divided into two categories: powered and manual. The default I mentioned next is the manual pallet jacks/ hand pallet jacks.

According to the function, the pallet jacks wheels are divided into steering wheels and load wheels. Steering wheels, literally when you want to operate a pallet jack to change direction, play a vital role. The load wheel is the wheel that plays the main supporting role when the pallet jack is loaded. Generally speaking, the steering wheel is the pair of wheels closest to the operator and is located forward, so it is also called the front wheel of the pallet jack. The load wheel is farther away and is generally called the pallet truck rear wheel.

According to the size, pallet jack wheels are divided into large wheels and small wheels. Usually the pallet jack steering wheel is a large wheel, the models are 1650, 1850 and 2050, and the corresponding dimensions are 160x50mm, 180x50mm, 200x50mm. The load wheel is a small wheel, and the dimensions are 80x50mm, 80x60mm, 80x70mm, 80x80mm, 80x90mm and 80x100mm. Basically, the diameter of the small wheel is fixed, but the length is different.

According to the material, there are generally iron core PU wheels, aluminum core PU wheels, aluminum core rubber wheels, nylon wheels, copolymer wheels, etc.

For colors, red, white and orange are common, others can be customized.

In terms of shape, it is also different, especially the load wheel, some are like cylinders, some are like oak barrels ...

So, not all pallet jack wheels the same.

Caster wheels step into our life

About casters

Sometimes , the most simple inventions are significant . Even though we have no idea about who is the one invent caster wheel , however , the record of casters can be dated from 5500 years ago . People must to push goods very tough and hard before has wheels . One day , people were enlightened by the slick stone rolled from top to the foot of the hill , therefore we have an idea to invent caster wheels.

Caster created revolution that people don't have to carry one goods to another goods by hand . We have bicycles , cars , trains and trolleybus is just because the involution of the caster wheels .

Caster wheel is widely used in many areas , there is no doubt that we all need it . According to the development of the caster , it has 150,000 different types at least caster we are using at present . It indeed created a more convenient , efficient and safe labor life for every one of us .

The basic type of caster

1. Swivel Caster: The wheel is mounted on a pedestal with eccentric distance, and the bracket is free to rotate around the vertical axis of lead.

2. Rigid Caster: The wheel is mounted on a bracket that cannot be turned.

3. Single brake: A single brake device with a stop wheel.

4. Double brake: A dual braking device that can stop wheels turning and turning wheel.

The parameter of the caster

1. Wheel diameter: Wheel diameter nominal size.

2. Wheel width: The maximum width of a wheel parallel to the axis of rotation.

3. Tyre width: The width of a tire that is parallel to the axis of rotation.

4. Mount height: The caster is fitted with a vertical plane to the ground.

5. Radius of rotation: The steering shaft of the caster is the horizontal distance from the most prominent point of the caster.

6. Walking speed: within 4km/h

How to stock casters?

The storage warehouse shall be well ventilated, with relative humidity less than 80%, no corrosive gas inside, and the storage period shall not exceed 24 months.

There are caster wheels with TPR / Rubber / Polyurethane PU material available, suitable for various environments, both workable in outdoor and indoor. 3 different sizes with different

load capacity 150kgs 300kg 500kgs of hand truck can meet your different requirements, they are widely used in office, retail, industrial, hospitality and healthcare applications.

Recently, A new customer placed an order Caster Wheel from us but he know little about caster wheel. Therefore we recommended him the right caster material according to his requirements and our professional experiences.

The most common caster wheel materials in the market are TPE, TPR, TPU. Here let’s talk about their advantages and disadvantages and you will have better understanding on how to choose TPE, TPR , TPU caster materials.

1. TPE material: TPE is environmentally and non-toxic material, with features of excellent wear resistance, elasticity, shock resistance and low noise performance. As it has good adhesion property with hard plastic. It can be coated and formed with hard plastic like PA,PP. TPE material is with great load capacity. Currently, TPE material is widely used for luggage caster,cart caster and industrial caster.

2. TPR: Technically, TPR is TPE because both of them belong to Polystyrene elastomer category. Its characteristics are similar to TPE, However, its elasticity is better than TPE as it is mainly made from SBS and its wear resistance is not as good as TPE. More important, TPR has better price than TPE, it also can be coated and formed with hard plastic like PA,PP. It can be used for heavy duty caster.

3. TPU: With the best wear resistance, good oil resistance, good elasticity and good load capacity, it has the longer service life, but it’s a bit noisy when working and without resistance to hydrolysis. It can be used for luggage caster and various types of industrial caster.

How to choose the above three caster materials?

Actually We are not able state which material is the best one since different caster materials have different advantages. The key to choose ideally caster materials depends on the usage and positioning of products. We seldom use TPE for caster even its price is moderate, mostly we use TPR and TPU. If you want the best wear resistance, then TPU is your best choice; If you want better price, then TPR is the most appropriate choice.

Ylcaster，as a professional Caster Wheel Supplier in China, has been in promoting and popularizing TPR material since 2010 and now TPR caster is widely accepted by our customers due to its good price and nice property.
