On December 29th, the "Natural Gas Compressor Cylinder FMS Intelligent Production Line" project of Sinopec Oilfield Equipment Corporation won the "Excellent Award" at the 3rd National Machinery Industry Design Innovation Competition in 2023.
Sinopec Oilfield Equipment Corporation aims to build a first-class oil and gas equipment and new energy equipment company, with the focus on high-end, intelligent, and green development. We are committed to the specialized, professionalized, and innovative development of various products and services. Taking the responsibility of ensuring the "intelligent manufacturing of major weapons and serving energy security". The achievement of the FMS intelligent production line project for natural gas compressor cylinders marks a new breakthrough in the company's intelligent manufacturing.
There are various types of compressors, which are key equipment used in natural gas boosting and extraction, gas lifting and liquid discharge, centralized processing and transportation, gas injection and refueling, and various utilization fields. The cylinder is one of the core components of a natural gas compressor.
The FMS intelligent production line for natural gas compressor cylinders is an important part of the intelligent upgrading and renovation project for SOFE oil and gas field booster recovery compressor production lines. It upgrades and transforms traditional production and manufacturing processes, introducing automated intelligent equipment, and achieving efficient and transparent digital manufacturing. By adopting highly integrated horizontal milling and compound machining centers, horizontal boring and milling machining centers, horizontal machining centers, intelligent RGV stackers, cleaning robots, automatic flippers, online detection systems, etc., the automatic loading and unloading of cylinders, process cleaning, adjustment of cylinder posture between processes, and automatic detection of machining processes can be achieved, which can meet the intelligent processing of multi specification cylinders. After the completion of the production line, the number of operators will be reduced from 11 to 3, the overall number of cylinder processing cycles will be reduced by 8 times, the processing time for large cylinders will be reduced by 5 hours, the processing time for small cylinders will be reduced by 9 hours, and the average auxiliary time will be reduced by 2.5 hours, significantly improving the overall efficiency of cylinder processing.
The National Machinery Industry Design Innovation Competition is jointly organized by the China Machinery Industry Federation and the China Machinery Metallurgical Building Materials Union.
