At present, Nanshan Aluminum Material Corporation's high-speed train body profile project - 220,000 tons of rail transit new type aluminum alloy profile production line infrastructure project has broken ground. The project covers an area of 90,000 square meters with a total investment of 3.2 billion RMB. The eight new extrusion production lines are all imported into the world's most advanced German Simak extrusion equipment. The project is expected to complete the overall infrastructure construction in March 2011 and put into operation in the third quarter of 2012. This will continue the sustainable development of Nanshan aluminium.
In recent years, the state has increased the construction of railway projects. According to the "China Railway Medium-and Long-term Development Plan", it is expected that by 2020, the total investment in the construction of national railway projects will exceed 5 trillion yuan, and the construction mileage of high-speed railways with speeds of 200 kilometers and above will exceed 18,000 kilometers, accounting for more than half of the total mileage of high-speed railways in the world. This indicates that the new type of aluminium alloy profile for rail transit has a great profit margin and broad market prospects.
In order to seize this rare and historic market opportunity, the company has a long-term vision, in line with the rapid market response of market demand, through understanding the market, market segmentation, efficient integration of industrial chain resources, quickly stand on the commanding heights, decisively decided to embark on the "high-speed train body profiles" this high-tech project. In two years, Nanshan Aluminum Corporation will purchase a large number of extruders including 16500T and 8000T from German Simmel Co., Ltd. for the production of rail transit profiles with high value-added products. After the project is put into operation, Nanshan Aluminum will be able to produce industrial profiles with a cross-section width of 1000 MM, which meets the needs of high-speed railway and military industry, and fills in the gap of domestic production of super-large cross-section Aluminum profiles. After the completion of this project, it will play an important role in the upgrading and structural adjustment of Nanshan aluminium industry.
Since its establishment in 1992, Nanshan Aluminum has been persistently strengthening and striving to become bigger, insisting on the efficiency of science and technology and the benefit of scale, continuously introducing advanced international equipment in large-scale, and carrying out large-scale capacity improvement. After more than ten years of development, Nanshan Aluminum has not only formed a complete aluminum deep processing chain from melting-casting-die-extrusion-surface treatment, but also each element in the deep processing chain ranks first among the peers. Melting and casting has the most advanced melting and casting equipment in the United States, which can produce aluminium rods with different alloy components; the most advanced die processing equipment and technology from Japan and Germany are all introduced to fully meet the needs of high, fine and large cross-section extrusion production and market; extrusion has more than 50 first-class extrusion production lines, and will have more than 20 German products including 16500T, 9000T, 8000T and 6000T by 2010. Simak extrusion production line has the most advanced equipment in the world and in the world. Surface treatment has Japan's most advanced vertical and horizontal anodic oxidation electrophoresis production line, full-automatic fluorocarbon spraying production line and Italy's full-automatic powder spraying production line. A large number of high starting point equipment and configuration make Nanshan aluminium industry leading position more stable. A global aluminium profile base with the most scale and competitiveness will stand at the forefront of the world aluminium industry.
