Jiaozuo, Henan: Reliable Power Supply Supports the Traditional Chinese Medicine Industry

Recently, technicians from the State Grid Jiaozuo Power Supply Company visited an electric herbal medicine drying facility in Huaishu Township, Mengzhou City, Henan Province. They conducted specialized inspections of electrical equipment and inspections of power lines, delivering precise power services to support the high-quality development of local rural industries.

The inspection team scrutinized key components such as terminal blocks and switchgear protection devices to identify potential hazards, and provided on-site guidance to the facility’s electricians to ensure timely rectifications. In response to the high electrical loads and long hours of continuous operation required for herbal drying, the team offered detailed instructions on routine equipment maintenance, overload protection, and emergency response procedures in the event of power outages. Through on-site demonstrations and the distribution of safety handbooks, they ensured that facility operators fully understood safe electricity-use practices.

As a flagship project in Huaishu Township, Jiaozuo City, the electric drying facility specializes in the drying and deep processing of local traditional Chinese medicinal materials, including rehmannia root and Chinese yam. The efficient operation of electromagnetic heating, drying, and roasting equipment depends on a stable power supply. To meet the project’s electricity demand, State Grid Jiaozuo Power Supply Company promptly implemented optimized technical solutions to ensure the smooth commissioning of key equipment, including drug calcining machines, steam generators, and open-air drying ovens.

Moving forward, the company will establish a long-term power supply safeguard mechanism for key agriculture-related projects by conducting regular on-site inspections and providing technical guidance to continuously enhance the safety and stability of grid operations. It will also increase investment in rural power grid infrastructure and further streamline electricity connection service procedures, providing more reliable power supply and higher-quality electricity services to support the sustained development of rural specialty industries.
