We went to South Africa and Kenya to participate in two exhibitions in August and September,2023. Achieving very good results. We saw the local culture and the daily life of residents. Africa, as the next economy to take off, contains huge potential and energy.
Customers are not only from South Africa and Kenya ,but from their neighbour countries, like , Namibia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, etc.
We exhibited the following products produced by our company:
Plastic HDPE large diameter pipe making machine
WPC window and door extrusion machine
Plastics Industry Overview in Africa
Plastic is a material made of synthetic resin or natural resin as the main component, with various additives added, and processed into shapes. Plastic has the advantages of light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, good insulation, and easy processing. It is widely used in construction, packaging, transportation, electronics, medical and other fields.
According to the properties and uses of plastics, they can be divided into two categories: general plastics and engineering plastics. General plastics refer to plastics with lower cost and wider application range, mainly including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), etc. Engineering plastics refer to plastics with high mechanical properties, heat resistance, chemical resistance and other special properties. They are mainly used to replace metal or other traditional materials to make industrial parts or shells. Mainly include polyamide (PA), polycarbonate ( PC), etc.
Plastic industry development trends
1. The market has broad prospects and the industry will continue to grow
The plastics industry is an important part of the new chemical materials industry, and it is also an area with the most vitality and development potential.
While the basic application fields that meet the general needs of society maintain steady growth, the high-end application fields are gradually expanding. The plastic products industry is still in the rising development stage, and transformation and upgrading are steadily advancing. The development trend of replacing steel with plastic and replacing wood with plastic provides broad market prospects for the development of the plastic products industry.
2. Dislocation development and deep cultivation of market segments
The plastic products industry has a wide range of downstream areas, and different plastic products have greatly different requirements for production companies' R&D capabilities, technology, production processes and management levels. There are many types of plastic products, a large technology span, and a wide range of applications. The market demand is large and distributed in different downstream industries. Most of the market participants are small and medium-sized enterprises. There is overcapacity in low-end products, fierce competition, and low market concentration.
Based on this situation, our company continues to invest in research and development to develop products that suit the needs of various groups of customers.
Take PET sheet extrusion machine as an example, we have equipments with different outputs and configurations for customers to choose from, and can be customized according to customer requirements.
PET sheet extrusion machine Advantage：
Hanhai develops the parallel twin screw extrusion line for PET sheet, this line equipped with degassing system, and no need drying and crystallizing unit. The extrusion line has the properties of low energy comsuption, simple production process and easy maintenance. The segmented screw structure can reduce the viscosity loss of PET resin, the symmetrical and thin-wall calender roller highten the cooling effect and improve the capactity and sheet quality. Multi components dosing feeder can control the percentage of virgin material, recycling material and master batch precisely, the sheet is widely used for thermoforming packaging industry.
