Keya Leads the Transformation and Upgrading of the Industry

In Nanjing, which has the reputation as the "production base of twin screw granulator in China", there is a company founded in 1993. Its predecessor was jointly invested by Jiangsu Provincial Science and Technology Commission, Macao East Asia Industrial Company, and Nanjing Extrusion Machinery Research Institute of the Chemical Machinery Institute of the Ministry of Chemical Industry; it pioneered the localization of co-rotating twin screw extrusion machines; "People's Daily" special report "Nanjing has a little giant"; it has been leading the development of the industry, and achieved per capita output value of over 1 million yuan for two consecutive years in 2017 and 2018; it is a well-known twin screw extrusion machine enterprise with more than 8,000 sets of twin screw equipment in operation around the world. It is Nanjing KY Chemical Machinery Co., Ltd.


Located at No. 59, Tianyuan West Road, Jiangning Development Zone, Nanjing City, the Keya manufacturing base has convenient transportation and a beautiful environment. As far as the eye can see, under the scorching sun in July, the flag of "Keya" is accompanied by the flags of China, Canada, and the United States, which are flying on the flagpole in front of the fountain, dancing with the winds of summer.


The production base is divided into sheet metal riveting and welding workshop, CNC machining center workshop, experimental center, testing center, electrical workshop, assembly, and testing workshop, with a total area of more than 15,000 square meters and an administrative office area of 4,000 square meters. Walking in front of Nanjing Keya's office building, Mr. Liu Guangzhi, the chairman of the board, said proudly, "the twin screw extruder machine production base built by Keya is not only a domestic leader in terms of hardware scale but also domestically first-class in software."

Walking into the production area, which is completely different from the scene full of oil pollution and noise imagined by the reporter of "Plastic Industry", the workers uniformly dressed in blue work clothes only need to press the button on the touch screen of the machining center, and the processing program automatically manufactures parts such as screws, gears, bushings, mandrels, and barrels.


"We have a complete modern processing technology system, advanced CNC machining center workshop, and nearly 100 sets of high-precision professional processing machines such as professional thread CNC grinding machine, CNC tooth profile grinding machine, large horizontal milling and boring machining center, Zeiss gantry laser detector, Swiss FRAO three coordinates, etc. We are also the only enterprise with large-scale thread CNC grinding machines in the industry, which can produce components with a diameter of 260mm." Chairman Liu continued to introduce.


In the past two years, Keya has made a remarkable investment in the improvement of processing equipment, testing instruments, and processing technology, which has greatly improved the manufacturing technology and level of the core components of twin screw extrusion machines and has been awarded the "National High-tech Enterprise", "Jiangsu Private Technology Enterprise" and other honors. It takes the lead in the industry to pass the "Management System Certification for the Integration of IT Application and Industrialization", "Intellectual Property System Certification", "Jiangsu Province Enterprise Credit Management System Certification", and applies for more than 30 authorized patents (including 4 invention patents), and more than 10 software copyrights; in 2019, more than 1 million yuan was invested to deploy and implement an information management system to optimize and upgrade the internal management and control of the enterprise, which has greatly improved production efficiency and project delivery quality.


Keya will continue to do a good job in achieving the ambitious goal of the integration of industrial manufacturing and informatization so that customers can touch the mobile phone screen to see which manufacturing process their customized equipment is in, and the expected delivery and acceptance date.


"Plastic Industry" reporter learned from the conversation with Chairman Liu that Keya launched the "next-generation intelligent k-cloud twin screw extrusion system" in 2019, which is based on the needs of factory digitization and intelligent management, integrating automation, Internet, sensors, cloud computing, and other advanced technologies, and is a successfully developed new-generation control system solutions suitable for digital and intelligent integration of plastic compounding and modification factories.


It can provide users with a safe and reliable solution for compounding and modifying production plants featuring the integration of management and control based on multi-user management. This solution provides functions such as automatic control, data acquisition, data storage, data analysis, production management, pre-maintenance, and integration of management and control, and realizes the digitization and visualization of the management and process of the entire extruder production line or extruder factory!


The advent of this system marks the application of Keya's intelligent manufacturing strategy in the plastic modification and compounding industry and is also a major measure for Keya to respond to the transformation and upgrading of the national manufacturing industry.


Talking about future development, Chairman Liu said with satisfaction: "We have more than 30 years of experience in the field of compounding, extrusion, and granulation. We will maintain our advantages, focus on compounding and modification equipment, become better and stronger, promote the localization of medium and large-scale twin screw equipment, and realize green manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing of compounding and extrusion equipment, allowing more friends in the modified plastics industry to know Keya, understand Keya, fall in love with Keya, and gain a greater return on investment through the cooperation with Keya.”
