The South Sudanese Fire Subsides, Qunfeng Assists in Post-War Reconstruction

According to a report from China News Service on February 6th, although a nationwide ceasefire has been achieved in South Sudan, local armed conflicts and tribal conflicts continue to occur frequently. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Embassy in South Sudan have advised Chinese citizens to exercise caution when traveling to South Sudan. However, in order to ensure the smooth operation of customer projects, Qunfeng Machinery's "Supersonic" QS1300 automatic brick production line has been sent to the front lines to assist in South Sudan's post-war reconstruction.

Geographical location of the Republic of South Sudan

The Republic of South Sudan officially gained independence from Sudan in 2011 and is the world's youngest country. Despite having abundant oil reserves ranking 24th globally, South Sudan has been trapped in a vortex of civil war since its independence. Due to an excessive dependence on oil exports and a lack of local industrial development, a conflict erupted between the two major tribes in South Sudan in late 2013, driven by the competition for oil resources. Despite multiple peace agreements reached during this period, conflicts quickly resurfaced.

The prolonged years of war have greatly affected the stability of South Sudan's national economy, resulting in extensive destruction of infrastructure. In 2019, South Sudan was listed as one of the least developed regions in Africa by the United Nations. To help South Sudan cope with the losses caused by the war and quickly restore its national economy, China has not only dispatched several batches of peacekeeping forces but also provided support in the field of infrastructure construction. Collaborative projects include the Juba International Airport and the Jur River Bridge in South Sudan. As cooperation between China and South Sudan deepens in the field of infrastructure, South Sudan's local manufacturing industry has also started to turn its attention to Chinese machinery equipment manufacturers in an attempt to seek partnership.

Qunfeng Machinery has been deeply involved in the building materials industry for many years and possesses multiple key core technologies. It has earned a good reputation by ensuring delivery and production with professionalism and dedication, particularly in post-war reconstruction projects in countries such as Syria. As a result of careful inspections and negotiations, the South Sudanese customer decisively chose Qunfeng Machinery and purchased a set of "Supersonic" QS1300 automatic brick production line in September 2022.

To support the reconstruction work in South Sudan at the earliest opportunity, Qunfeng Machinery's after-sales engineers made preparations promptly after receiving the order from the South Sudanese customer. Based on the specific needs and local conditions, they listed potential issues and found targeted solutions. Despite the risks of war and disease, the engineers went to South Sudan in early 2023 to complete the installation of the production line.

The customer's purchase this time is the "Supersonic" QS1300 concrete product production line. The vibration system of the forming machine in this production line adopts an efficient servo vibration system, which has a fast response speed and low operational noise, effectively improving production efficiency. The "Supersonic" QS1300 features a unique design with square stack boards measuring 1100×950mm, making it more convenient for automatic palletizing of the formed products. The supporting fully automatic production line achieves highly automated production of concrete products, with a labor requirement as low as 4 people, significantly reducing labor costs.

In addition, the core hardware of the control system and other sensor components of the entire machine use internationally renowned brands such as Siemens, ensuring more stable and efficient operation and higher hardware compatibility. This facilitates the replacement of aging hardware and components in the future, greatly reducing the customer's subsequent maintenance costs.

The leading products and professional services are the main reasons why Qunfeng has gained a renowned reputation overseas. As a "Specialized, Refined, Unique, and New" (SRUN) national key enterprise and a national intellectual property advantage enterprise, Qunfeng Machinery will continue to contribute to the post-war reconstruction of the region with its first-class technology and services, based on over 20 years of experience serving more than 9,000 customers worldwide.
