China News Service, Urumqi, December 26 (Reporter Sun Tingwen) The 4MZD-6 high-end intelligent six-row cotton picking and packing machine independently developed and produced by China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as China Railway Construction Heavy Industry) went on sale on the 25th.

On the same day, China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Xinjiang Co., Ltd. signed an intention order for 167 units of this cotton picking and packing machine with sellers and farmers, and another 22 units of box type cotton picking machines.

　　On the same day, China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Xinjiang Co., Ltd. held a new product launch conference in Urumqi.

In the workshop of Railway Construction Heavy Industry Xinjiang Co., Ltd. in Urumqi, a cotton picking and packing machine is neatly arranged and will be delivered soon.

　　Liu Chaoyu, deputy head of Xinjiang Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Mechanization Technology Promotion Station, said that the new six-row cotton picking and packing machine of China Railway Construction Heavy Industry has filled the gap in China’s independent research and development of related products and is expected to break the technological monopoly of similar products of foreign brands. The product composition of the Xinjiang cotton picking machine market will be enriched.

　　Xinjiang is China's main cotton producing area. In 2020, Xinjiang's cotton output will reach 5.161 million tons, an increase of 3% over last year, accounting for 87.3% of China's total cotton output.

At present, more than 95% of the cotton fields in northern Xinjiang have been fully mechanized, and the mechanization rate of cotton in the south has also been greatly increased year by year.

Therefore, cotton picking has huge business opportunities.

　　Liu Chaoyu said that the current level of mechanization of major crops in Xinjiang is at a leading level in China, but most of the cotton picking and packing machines currently on the list are foreign brands, and the advantages of independent technology are not obvious.

"Intelligent machinery will effectively enhance the competitiveness of Xinjiang's cotton industry and accelerate the development of modern agriculture in Xinjiang."

　　Fu Yongxin, general manager of Xinjiang Kaixiang Agricultural Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., tried this cotton picking and packing machine in his cotton field.

He told reporters: "From the trial situation, this cotton picking and packing machine has simple operation, high net recovery rate, low fuel consumption, etc. We plan to order 3 sets."

　　Song Lixin, general manager of China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Xinjiang Co., Ltd., said that the high-end intelligent six-row cotton picking and packing machine was independently developed and produced by the company and went on the market after trial mining.

The product is equipped with an intelligent detection system, which realizes visual and dynamic display of cotton picking, cotton gathering, packing, ejection and packet loss actions.

In the later stage, the cotton picking and packing machine can also record the humidity of the cotton bale, the working position and other information, making cotton harvesting more intelligent.

"We also look forward to using Xinjiang as a springboard to sell cotton pickers to the markets of the five Central Asian countries." (End)
