Cronus Machinery's Tang Yiting: 39 Years, a Benchmark in Grinding Mills

Recently, the list of Guilin City's 2025 Model Workers was announced, and Tang Yiting, Deputy Chief Engineer of Cronus Machinery, received this honor. This serves as a high recognition of his 39 years of deep cultivation in the field of powder equipment and his unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, as well as the best testament to Cronus Machinery's five decades of dedicated research, development, and innovation in grinding mills.

Inheriting Craftsmanship, Dedicating to Grinding Mill R&D and Manufacturing

Tang Yiting's parents were among the first employees of Cronus Machinery. Growing up immersed in this environment, he developed a strong interest in grinding equipment, and his original aspiration to deeply cultivate powder technology began to take root.

After graduation, Tang Yiting officially joined Cronus Machinery, and has now been with the company for 39 years. He gained experience in the foundry and assembly workshops, and transferred to the technical department in 2000, where he has dedicated 26 years to R&D and design roles. Growing from a front-line worker to a core technical leader, he has personally participated in and driven the comprehensive upgrade of the company's products: expanding from a single pendulum mill to a full range of grinding equipment including Raymond mills, vertical roller mills, and ultrafine mills.

Thanks to the continuous efforts of Tang Yiting and his R&D team, many of our products have won numerous honors. The core product, the Raymond mill, has been recognized as a National New Product and Guangxi Famous Brand Product. Leveraging strong technical capabilities, the company has been successively recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise, Guangxi Autonomous Region Enterprise Technology Center, Guangxi "Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative" SME, and Guangxi Manufacturing Single Champion Demonstration Enterprise, successfully completing the transformation and upgrading of a traditional state-owned enterprise.

Committed to Innovation, Taking Customer Needs as His Own Responsibility

Tang Yiting insists that technological R&D should take customer needs as his own responsibility, focusing on industry pain points. As the industry continues to develop, customer demands have gradually shifted from simply pursuing production capacity to energy efficiency, high performance, intelligence, environmental protection, and customization. He has precisely adjusted the R&D direction, continuously iterating and optimizing product performance.

Addressing the issue of frequent reducer damage under complex mining conditions, which affects production efficiency, Tang Yiting led a technical breakthrough and successfully developed a dedicated reducer compatible with grinding mills. This component offers strong stability and high reliability, effectively solving customer production pain points and earning wide acclaim in the market.

He insists on going deep into the market, engaging directly with end customers, transforming real-world application requirements into R&D directions, ensuring that products precisely match various application scenarios, and providing solid technical support for the company's market sales.

Teaching and Mentoring, Building an Elite Team Together

In terms of talent development, Tang Yiting breaks away from the traditional master-apprentice model, advocating a philosophy of mutual assistance and shared progress. He openly shares his design experience, practical skills, and project insights, helping new employees grow quickly. At the same time, he encourages young technical personnel to use new technologies such as 3D modeling and simulation design, achieving complementary strengths and mutual progress between veteran and new employees.

In daily work, he strictly adheres to design specifications and implements a cross-review mechanism for drawings and proposals, reducing design errors and improving R&D efficiency. The team learns from each other through exchange and mutual consultation, continuously enhancing its comprehensive strength, laying a solid talent foundation for the company's long-term innovation.

Remaining True to Original Aspiration, Practicing the Spirit of Craftsmanship

Through 39 years of trials and hardships, Tang Yiting has grown together with Cronus Machinery. From a teenager first encountering equipment to a deputy chief engineer and a municipal model worker, he has always dedicated himself to technology with craftsmanship, nurtured talents with a sense of responsibility, and practiced the spirit of craftsmanship with continuous improvement.

Being named a Model Worker is not only an affirmation of Tang Yiting's personal dedication and hard work but also a recognition of Cronus Machinery's craftsmanship in manufacturing grinding mills. In the future, he will continue to lead his team to deeply cultivate powder equipment technology, tackle technical challenges, and promote the high-quality development of the domestic powder processing industry.
