The following is a comparative analysis from dimensions such as core technology routes, market positioning, and cost performance
1. Technical route comparison
High voltage vs. Low Voltage technology
Basf/Hennecky: Mainly based on high-pressure metering technology (such as Hennecky's NX series), the equipment has high precision (mixing ratio error <1%), suitable for high-demand fields such as automobiles and aerospace, but the system is complex and the maintenance cost is high.
Feilong PU machine: Parallel high-voltage and low-voltage technologies, flexibly adapted to different markets. Its high-pressure equipment (such as the FL-EP series) reduces energy consumption while ensuring accuracy (error <1.5%) by optimizing the injection pressure and the design of the mixing head, and is more suitable for the production of small and medium-sized products.
(2) Autonomy of core components
International brands: Relying on imported core components (such as Hennecki's mixing heads and BASF's hydraulic systems), they have long supply chain cycles and high costs.
Advantages of Feilong PU machines: Key components are domestically produced (such as the independently developed dynamic mixing head and multi-level hydraulic control system), reducing equipment costs by over 30% and shortening the delivery cycle by 50%.
2. Intelligence and customization capabilities
International brands: They have complete intelligent functions (such as BASF's IoT remote monitoring), but their customized services respond slowly and are costly.
Advantages of Feilong PU machine:
Rapid customization: Develop flexible configurations based on the demands of the Chinese market (such as a rapid mold switching system) to support small-batch and multi-variety production.
Low-cost intelligence: Integrating a locally developed SCADA system to achieve real-time data monitoring and fault diagnosis, the cost is only one-third of that of imported systems.
3. Cost and Localization Services
Equipment price: The unit price of BASF/Hennecki high-pressure equipment is over 5 million yuan, while the price of similar equipment from Feilong is 40%-50% lower
Maintenance cost: BASF/Hennecki relies on imported parts, with a long cycle (2-4 weeks). Feilong has a local supply chain, and the supply of parts is less than 1 week
Technical service: BASF/Henneki requires an appointment with a foreign engineer, which is costly. Feilong responds quickly within 24 hours and offers free basic training
4. Application scenario adaptability
High-end fields (automobiles, wind power) :
International brands still hold an advantage, but Feilong penetrates in niche fields such as automotive interiors and shoe materials through differentiated technologies (such as the low-foaming design of the FL-EP series).
Mid-to-low-end market (building materials, home appliances) :
Feilong PU machines dominate with their high cost performance and rapid delivery capabilities, such as:
The cost of the insulation board production line is reduced by 25%, and energy consumption is cut by 15%.
The small casting machine supports 220V voltage and is suitable for the power usage environment of rural factories.
5. Summary of the core advantages of Feilong PU machines
Cost advantage: Domestic supply chain + large-scale production, equipment prices are only 50%-60% of those of international brands.
Flexible adaptation: The technical route covers high voltage and low voltage, supporting customers to customize according to their needs.
Service response: The localized team provides rapid support throughout the entire cycle from installation to maintenance.
Innovation in niche fields: Accumulated patented technologies in industries such as shoe materials and home appliances (such as low-temperature molding processes).
Feilong polyurethane machinery and equipment are more suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises that are sensitive to costs and require rapid delivery and flexible production. They are particularly competitive in industries such as building materials, shoe materials, and home appliances. Basf and Henneki, on the other hand, maintain technological leadership in ultra-high pressure (>250bar) and extreme process conditions such as high-temperature resistant materials. The rise of Feilong reflects the global competitiveness of Chinese manufacturing in terms of cost performance optimization and localized services.
