On June 9, 2026, the integrated pilot project for research, development, manufacturing, promotion, and application of agricultural machinery in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in 2025- machine harvesting of long staple cotton with roller embossing and cotton bark
Clean the deviceThe project kickoff meeting and the first phase meeting were successfully held in Jinan.

The project is led by Swan Group Xinjiang Co., Ltd., and jointly participated by Swan Group, Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Shihezi University and other five units. It focuses on the processing difficulties of machine harvested long staple cotton and fills the gaps in Xinjiang's cotton industry processing technology and equipment. Zhu Tangzhong, member and deputy director of the Party Committee of Xinjiang Agricultural and Rural Mechanization Development Center, Pei Yinghai, director of the Science and Technology and Standardization Department, and first level researcher, visited the site for guidance. Experts from research institutions such as Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Shihezi University, company leaders, project leaders, and core technical backbone of the project attended the meeting.

At the beginning of the meeting, Wang Xinting, Chairman and General Manager of Swan Group, warmly welcomed and sincerely thanked the leaders and experts present, and provided a detailed introduction to Swan Group's development history in the cotton equipment track, the research and development achievements of a full range of intelligent agricultural machinery, and its industrial layout for the Xinjiang market. He stated that as a national manufacturing champion enterprise in the field of cotton harvesting and processing equipment, the company has a mature research and development system, exquisite manufacturing technology, and a complete market promotion network. It always anchors the core needs of Xinjiang's cotton industry modernization, deeply cultivates technological innovation in cotton processing equipment, overcomes industrial technical problems, and comprehensively supports the high-quality and intelligent development of Xinjiang's cotton industry. Based on the implementation of this pilot project, the company will join forces with all parties to directly address the pain points of the industry, accurately solve the processing bottlenecks and difficulties of Xinjiang's long staple cotton industry, and empower the high-quality development of Xinjiang's long staple cotton through hardcore equipment technology.
At present, there are core pain points in the processing of long staple cotton in Xinjiang, such as insufficient cleaning accuracy, low embossing efficiency, and poor equipment adaptability, which seriously restrict the quality improvement and industrial scale development of machine harvested long staple cotton. In response to the shortcomings in the above industries, this project will rely on the integrated collaborative research and development model of industry, academia, research and application, focus on the research and development of core equipment and breakthroughs in key technologies, and comprehensively optimize the processing technology of long staple cotton. By upgrading technology, the cleaning efficiency has been greatly improved, and cotton fiber damage has been minimized to the greatest extent possible, truly achieving fine cleaning of machine picked long staple cotton from the source
hoistThe overall quality of long staple cotton. At the same time, a mature and standardized technical system and equipment solution will be formed to demonstrate and lead the standardization and intelligent construction of long staple cotton processing lines in Xinjiang, helping to improve the quality, efficiency, transformation and upgrading of the long staple cotton industry in Xinjiang.

The successful convening of this project kickoff meeting marks the official entry into the substantive implementation stage of the integrated pilot project of "machine harvesting long staple cotton skin roller embossing and skin cleaning equipment". Next, the company will work with all cooperating units to conscientiously implement the deployment of this meeting, actively absorb valuable opinions from experts, continuously optimize and improve technical solutions, and make every effort to break through the bottleneck of long staple cotton processing agricultural machinery and equipment. With independent and intelligent high-end agricultural machinery and equipment, the company will empower Xinjiang's long staple cotton industry to improve quality and efficiency, transform and upgrade, and provide strong support for the high-quality development of agricultural mechanization and modernization in Xinjiang.
