1 lack of research and development funding
Accumulation of domestic enterprises in the product technology, the development of new products with some famous foreign companies has significant gaps. Funds for science and technology, insufficient research and development funding has become a major factor restricting the pump manufacturing industry developed. According to incomplete statistics, research and development funding is less than 2% per cent of sales revenue, compared with the overseas well-known company, industry-wide research and development investment is minimal, severely restricting the new technologies, new products, new materials, new technology research and development.
2 weak independent innovation capacity
To slow digestion and absorption of technology, most of the enterprises ' technological innovation is not strong, lack of independent intellectual property right manufacturing techniques and product technology. While the majority of pump industry products have been basically achieved, independent production, but some major technology and equipment due to lack of independent intellectual property rights and core technologies still in foreign hands. Bear most of the domestic water pump manufacturing company is a product of low-end processing, independent of breadth and depth is still needs to be improved. For example said, current has began domestic manufacturing of plant equipment in the of nuclear level pump products and kW Super critical, and super super critical fire power station equipment in the of high pressure boiler to pump core package products; large petrochemical sets equipment in the by needed of high pressure small flow pump, and resistance corrosion chemical process pump, and coal liquefied with resistance corrosion wear centrifugal pump, and volume pump, of key core technology, most still needed relies on introduced, this is domestic pump industry enterprise need focus research of direction.
3 supporting components is weak
Development of basic technology and infrastructure components is weak. For a long time, due to the lack of basic technology research the attention it deserves, preparing basic machinery, basic components of development of manufacturing industry in China lags behind, a prime factors of restricting the development of major technical equipment. Mechanical seals, instruments and devices supporting minimum flow machinery products, affordable products mostly new quality is not stable enough, which is an important reason for many users choose to buy foreign products.
