Recently, Zhongpeng International Ceramics(Uzbekistan) and HLT&DLT held a signing ceremonyfor strategic cooperation in Zibo City, Shandong Province. WenhuaRUAN, the chairman of Zhongpeng International Ceramics (Uzbekistan), andHuojin GUAN, the general manager of DLT Technology, signed the contract onbehalf of their companies. Together, they launched an "Energy-Efficiency4.0" cooperation project for high-end glazed tiles with large output andlow energy consumption. This is their first step on the new journey ofintelligent manufacturing.

The project is invested and constructedby Shandong Dongba Trading Co., Ltd. in the Uzbekistan production base.According to the schedule, it will be put into industrial operation at the endof 2023. Meanwhile, the project has won strong support and great attention fromthe local government.

The Uzbekistan production base is planned to beconstructed in two phases. The first phase will introduce four YP4009 machines,HLT's best-selling model, and DLT's core thermal machinery, including an"Energy-Efficiency 4.0" high-end kiln and a DHD-EM high-efficiencyself-circulation six-layer dryer. The production base mainly produces high-endrustic tiles and fully polished glazed tiles in sizes of 600×600mm,800×800mm, 600×1200mm, and 750×1500mm, with a thickness of 9-12mm. The dailyoutput is 50,000 square meters, and it is projected to reach 100,000 squaremeters per day after the completion of the second construction phase.

With an optimized hydraulic system, the YP4009automatic hydraulic press delivers enhanced overall performance, increasedsafety, and reliability. It meets the operational requirements of largeproduction capacity, low loss, and high yield. With multiple patentedtechnologies, YP4009 boasts the advantages of high flatness, highaccuracy, and fast pressing speed. It is an eco-friendly machine subject tohigh standards and strict requirements and has been highly recognized byglobal customers.

The kiln is equipped with the DDI4.0-A intelligentcontrol system, enabling cloud computing and comprehensive management of the entireproduction line. It breaks through time and space constraints by remotemonitoring of the production line and provides comprehensive insightsinto equipment operation status. DLT's patented technologies are appliedaccording to Energy Efficiency Level 1, including the KPRenergy-conserving combustion air system, EHI kiln insulation upgrade system,PPC combustion air ducts group control system, DHR-plus efficient-relay wasteheat recovery system, and other systems of high configuration system. Inaddition, with the self-circulation six-layer dryer characterized by highefficiency, uniformity, speed, and energy savings, it maximizes energyefficiency and automation. In Uzbekistan, This modern production line has the highest productioncapacity and intelligence automation. When put into production, it willfill the gap in the Central Asian high-end ceramic market, contributing to theeconomic development of Uzbekistan.

"Focus"Builds High-End Products
"Empowerment" Achieves Win-WinOutcomes

Zhongpeng International Ceramics(Uzbekistan) and HLT&DLT will take the signing as an opportunityto fully leverage their respective strengths and build the largest ceramicproduction line in Central Asia with the highest output, lowest energy consumption,and the highest level of intelligence. Upon entering production, it willrevolve around the transformation goal of "high-end industry, high-endproducts" to empower Zhongpeng International Ceramics(Uzbekistan) regarding quality and energy consumption. Through high-qualitycatch-up development, Zhongpeng International Ceramics (Uzbekistan) willboost the local ceramic industry and lead it toward high-end positioning.Meanwhile, the company will also align with the "UzbekistanDevelopment Model" advocated by the local government and provide moreemployment opportunities.
