China's glass machinery and equipment has experienced more than 40 years of development from the early introduction and digestion to the ability to manufacture conventional equipment and provide basic equipment. It has always faced the challenge of improving product productivity while maintaining world quality.

    The development of China's glass machinery industry began in the early 1990s, mainly due to the relocation of foreign (Taiwan-funded) enterprises. The industry began to develop rapidly in China. The early glass machinery production enterprises were represented by Shenzhen Yiweigao Industrial Development Co., Ltd., which then diverged and became several leading enterprises such as Guangdong Shunde and Shenzhen. In the later development, it gradually expanded into two large areas dominated by the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta.

    By the beginning of the 20th century, there was a trend that followed the creation of glass processing enterprises. There have been relatively concentrated industrial areas such as Foshan, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Zhangjiagang. Its development area has expanded to the Shandong Peninsula and the Bohai Rim, and has spread to many cities in the mainland. At present, more than 50% of my country's glass cold processing equipment is manufactured in Shunde, Guangdong.

    According to reports, in the past five years, the export volume of my country's glass machinery and equipment has grown rapidly, with an annual growth rate of more than 50%. In 2004, the export of flat glass deep processing reached 40 million US dollars; last year, the annual output value of Shunde glass machinery deep processing industry reached 16 million US dollars, accounting for the country's 40% or so. At the meeting, the Shunde District Government decided to focus on supporting the construction of Lunjiao International Woodworking and Glass Machinery Cluster District, Chencun International Pressure and Ceramic Machinery Cluster District, Daliang International Plastic Machinery Cluster District, Ronggui Mould Industrial Cluster District, and Leliu International Transportation Machinery Cluster this year. The five mechanical equipment and mold manufacturing cluster areas, including the cluster area, will expand and strengthen Shunde's mechanical equipment and mold manufacturing industry, making it a leading industry.

    For pressing equipment, it is a press that improves mechanical positioning accuracy, has good use stability, low failure rate, and develops double-drop or even three-drop material; the pressure-blow molding process is the key to manufacturing high-precision container products, among which seamless rotary pressure. Blowing machinery seeks breakthroughs; centrifugal molding is an important process to reduce glass product materials and mold costs, and the development of multi-station fully automated centrifugal machinery is a market hotspot; determinant bottle making machinery is also developing towards high precision and high output; glass One of the key technologies for improving the surface quality of products is the flame polishing of the surface of the products, how to improve the precision and automation of the polishing machine to adapt to mass production; the transmission between the various processes of glass products is increasingly moving towards automation, requiring fast speed. , can adapt to the needs of many varieties and specifications.

    With the rapid development of China's economy and the increasing improvement of people's living standards, the production demand and quality standards of industrial applications and civil glass products have put forward the requirements of aligning with the world's advanced level. At the same time, as a country with abundant glass mineral resources and high technical level of labor force, China has a huge market for export of glass products.
