In 2017, Runxin collected from domestic and foreign users the "Runxin Valve" that has been used for ten years and is still in normal operation.The production date of the collected "Runxin Valve" can be traced back to 2005 at the earliest. The quality is evident!

Good products can stand up to years. Can the "Runxin Valve" that have been used for a longer period of time still be found? The "Runxin Valve" that has been used for 15 years is still functioning normally, are there any more? With such doubts, Runxin initiated a solicitation campaign for the "Runxin Valve" that has been in use for 15 years.

The answer is yes.

After the opening of the event, Runxin has successively received more than a dozen "Runxin Valves" that have been used for twelve to seventeen years and are still functioning normally. Among them, 4 sets of F56A were produced in 2004!

2004—Only one year has passed since the "Runxin Valve" was born.

Before the product goes on the market, it is necessary to pass relevant tests. However, when Runxin developed the first automatic valve more than ten years ago, there was no similar product in China, there was no corresponding national standard, no corresponding testing organization and equipment, and no large company was willing to test.

This brought great feelings to Runxin, so Runxin resolutely established a testing center and type laboratory with complete facilities and advanced methods in accordance with the most advanced American NSF standard at that time. Through repeated testing and improvement, the product finally meets the requirements of NSF and forms its own corporate standard.

After that, Runxin was invited by the China Boiler Water Treatment Association to preside over and participate in the formulation and revision of five national standards and industry standards such as "Technical Conditions for Automatic Control of Sodium Ion Exchangers" and "Household and Similar Use Water Softeners". The corporate standard is written into the national standard, and the domestic water treatment multifunctional control valve also has a national standard.

Self-established type laboratory

In 2008, Runxin established a product traceability system to accurately trace the important raw materials, component batches and key production information of each product through the code. Strictly keep each batch of samples, and specify the name, batch number, quantity, sampling time, sampler, production date and other information in detail.

Runxin often organizes workshop skill competitions to promote employees’ efforts to improve their skills and lay a solid foundation for quality management. Runxin has held ten consecutive technical seminars, held visits for customers from global to Wenzhou, "Runxin Valve" old friends and customers visit activities, and solicited product improvement opinions and suggestions from customers around the world has become the normalcy in quality management.

"Any quality problem must be held accountable, and they must be dealt with quickly." Chairman Yang Runde once emphasized this at a special meeting on quality issues. Runxin has established a quality accident exposure platform, insisting on holding accountability for product quality and work quality issues for many years, and relentlessly, regardless of the position, exposure and implementation of rectification.

"Quality first" is engraved into the genes of every Runxin employee, from the chairman to the frontline employees, and all employees consciously pursue product quality; there are 114 quality inspection procedures for "Runxin Valve", 98 quality inspections for residential appliances, and 62 quality inspection procedures of Runjing ceramic hard sealing ball valve. Behind it is Runxin's consistent focus and perseverance in quality.

"Runxin Valve" has become a general industrial product that is mass-produced. Since the first control valve F56A was launched in 2003, more than 12 million "Runxin Valves" have been sent to all of the world, and the quality reliability and health safety have been verified by users in 129 countries and regions around the world.

The strict quality control of Runlucky and Runjing comes from the same line of Runxin. Runxin invested more than 3 million RMB to establish Runlucky Testing Center and Runjing Ceramic Hard Sealing Ball Valve Testing Center, introducing nearly 100 first-class testing equipment, and continuously improving testing methods. The ten-year (partially 1-3 years) quality assurance policy of Runlucky's complete machine is the confidence in quality; Runjing ceramic hard sealing ball valve has passed the inspection of the national valve authority inspection center, and it lasts for 1 minute under a pressure of 6 bar and 1 million times of opening and closing without leakage. The quality is excellent and has a reputation.

In addition to system guarantees and a firm awareness of all employees, continuous reform of the process and strengthening of automation, intelligence and informatization are also vital to quality control and improvement.

Centralized feeding system, automatic leak detection equipment, industrial six-axis robots, automatic lathe manipulators, injector automatic assembly line, the industry's first F56A control valve automatic assembly line, production visualization execution system—the use of automated and intelligent equipment such as MES systems to achieve quality transparency and intelligent management has become the key to continuous quality improvement.

From January to November this year, Runxin’s sales increased by 25.6% compared to the same period last year. It has achieved 21 years of continuous growth, profitability, and zero loans. Runxin has been awarded the title of National Specialized, Fined, Peculiar and Innovative “Little Giant” Enterprise, Zhejiang Hidden Champion Enterprise, Wenzhou First Batch of “The Most Beautiful Factories”, etc.

What's more commendable is that with the promotion and application of "Runxin Valve" in the country and even the world, the market demand continues to grow. Runxin company continues to develop new models and new functions, improve production techniques and expand production capacity, take the initiative to greatly increase, and reduce product prices. Especially for residential and domestic water treatment control valves, since 2013, accumulatively reduced prices nearly 10 times, a drop of more than 40%, which has driven the rapid development of water treatment and other industries.

Time flies, when we look for the "Runxin Valve" that has been in use for 20 years and is still functioning normally, can we find it? Let us wait and see.
