US manufacturing expands for 15 consecutive months

According to a report released by the American Institute for Supply Management on the 1st, the US manufacturing activity index in October was 56.9, which was higher than the 54.4 in September, and achieved 15 consecutive months of expansion, indicating that the U.S. economy is gradually recovering.
The U.S. Supply Management Association’s index above 50 represents expansion of the manufacturing industry, and a score below 50 means that the industry has contracted. The manufacturing activity index includes a number of new orders, production, employment, inventory, prices and other indicators; of which the new orders index for the month was 58.9, higher than the 51.1 in September; the inventory index for the month was 53.9, lower than the 55.6 in September.
The Supply Management Association believes that as the U.S. economy continues to recover, manufacturing continues to expand, with the automotive, computer, and export industries becoming the engine of the manufacturing recovery. In the 18 sub-industries covered by the Institute, 14 sub-sectors such as petrochemicals, machinery and electrical equipment have expanded in October.
The data released by the U.S. Department of Commerce on October 29 showed that in the third quarter of this year, the first estimate of the real GDP of the United States rose at an annual rate of 2.0%, slightly higher than the 1.7% increase in the second quarter, indicating that the U.S. economy Continue to grow slowly.

In this category, Feeding equipment and conveying equipment are included. In feeding sub-category, volumetric feeder EVF series (4-6000L/hr), loss-in-weight feeder EGF series (4-8000L/hr), liquid loss-in-weight feeder ELF series (2-8000L/hr), vibratory tray feeder EF-V (2-2600L/hr), micro loss-in-weight feeder EMF series (2-8L/hr), weigh belt feeder EGF-B series (20-20000 Kg/hr) are included, which are widely used for powder, pellet, liquid, flake, fiber, and etc. easy-flowing and poor-flowing materials in plastic extrusion industry.


In conveying sub-category, mechanical screw loader and various pneumatic loaders are included.

Pneumatic loaders are divided two types: loaders for powder and loaders for granule material. Pneumatic vacuum powder loader EPL series with capacity 50-5200Kg/hr is ideal equipment for various powder materials in plastics and chemistry industries. Vacuum granule loaders ELH series have separate design and self-contained design with capacity 300-900Kg/hr.
