Seizing the "hundred-billion-level" aluminum market for the new energy industry, HLT brings better aluminum extrusion solutions

Against the backdrop of "carbon neutrality", the development of China's new energy industry is booming and leading the world. Photovoltaic products, electric vehicles, and lithium batteries have become the "new three" that represent China's foreign trade strength. Foreign media estimates that by 2023, solar panels produced in China are expected to account for 3/4 of the world's total production, more than half of the world's electric vehicles will be on Chinese roads, and 55% of the world's new renewable energy installed capacity will be achieved by China.

Whether it is photovoltaic products, electric vehicles or lithium batteries, they are all closely related to "aluminum profiles". In the field of photovoltaic products, aluminum profiles are the mainstream metal materials for photovoltaic frames and brackets; in electric vehicles, aluminum alloy is the preferred lightweight material, accounting for 30-40% of the body weight, of which 20% is aluminum profiles, mainly for key structural parts such as front and rear anti-collision beam assemblies, engine compartment longitudinal beams, floor longitudinal beams, door sill beams, front wall beams, and side wall upper beams; aluminum alloy battery pack shells processed from aluminum profiles are also the mainstream solution for power batteries for new energy vehicles in the world.

Compared with traditional aluminum profile products, the new energy industry has put forward new requirements for the performance, quality, production efficiency and energy consumption level of aluminum products, which is undoubtedly a big challenge for aluminum profile companies. As a professional aluminum extrusion machine manufacturer, HLT focuses on the new demand for aluminum in the new energy industry and puts forward solutions that are more suitable for Chinese aluminum profile companies in a timely manner.

Focus on efficiency and quality

Help enterprises achieve efficient and large-scale aluminum frame production

Photovoltaic frames are a hot area in aluminum processing at present, and many aluminum profile companies are flocking to it. Although the threshold is not very high, it is not easy to produce good quality stably. On the one hand, due to the need to ensure the normal power generation, conductivity and durability of photovoltaic panels, the dimensional tolerance and surface requirements of the frames are very strict; on the other hand, the rapid growth of global frame market demand has put forward higher requirements for the current improvement of corporate production capacity. For aluminum profile companies, whoever can achieve more efficient and high-quality production at present will be one step closer to this "big cake".

HLT YPL2000 forward single-action extruder is HLT main model in the field of photovoltaic frames. It has multiple advantages such as strong stability, high extrusion precision, and short non-extrusion time. It also has an improvement of about 30% over traditional models in terms of energy saving and consumption reduction. In the actual production process, it has significantly improved the frame production efficiency and yield rate.

Moreover, HLT has achieved the application of the industry-leading stable "1 out of 4" one-mold multi-hole extrusion technology on the YPL2000 machine by optimizing the design scheme and improving the movement accuracy of the equipment, bringing a highly cost-effective and efficient frame production solution;

In addition, HLT aluminum extrusion machine also adopts advanced electrical control systems and components, intelligent management and operation systems, which can effectively meet the large-scale, digital and intelligent production needs of aluminum profile companies.

At present, HLT extrusion presses have been stably and efficiently applied in large and medium-sized domestic aluminum frame manufacturers such as CITIC Bohai Aluminum, Yongzhen Technology, and JinkoSolar, with excellent product performance. Among them, Yongzhen Technology's Wuhu production base in Anhui Province ordered 40 HLT YPL2000 aluminum extrusion presses at one time.

Improve quality, reduce costs, and increase efficiency

Help enterprises seize the market opportunities of new energy vehicle profiles

New energy vehicle parts, power battery trays and other products, due to the passenger car manufacturers have very strict requirements on quality, the requirements for profile quality and performance are much higher than other industrial profiles. The low yield rate and substandard performance have always been the biggest pain points for many automotive parts companies.

HLT YPL series extruders cover dozens of models from 1000T to 12500T. HLT adopts a unique stable frame structure to reduce the deformation during the extrusion process while ensuring uniform deformation. It adopts a unique hydraulic control system to ensure the speed stability of the extruder under low-speed and high-pressure conditions; and a series of other digital controls and monitoring to ensure the stability and controllability of the products produced; providing support for automotive profile manufacturers to produce qualified and high-quality products.

At present, HLT YPL series extruder products have been widely used by well-known domestic automobile, auto parts and industrial profile manufacturers such as Mingtai Transportation New Materials, Asia Pacific Technology, Jianmei Aluminum, Alumi Technology, Shandong Innovation, Zhongshan Hesheng Co., Ltd. and Changan Automobile, and have been fully recognized by a series of host manufacturers such as SAIC Group, Changan Automobile, FAW Toyota, Jaguar Land Rover, BMW, etc. HLT closely follows the development trend of the automobile manufacturing industry and contributes to top automobile companies and supporting manufacturers.

Affected by the decline of the real estate industry and the decline of global market demand, the development of the domestic aluminum processing industry is full of challenges and uncertainties. Despite this, the demand for aluminum in the new energy industry continues to grow. Professional institutions predict that by 2025, the global demand for aluminum frames is expected to reach 3.23 million tons, corresponding to a market space of 74.6 billion yuan; and by 2027, the total scale of the global automotive aluminum profile market will reach 33.82 billion yuan. This is undoubtedly a major breakthrough for the majority of aluminum profile companies to buck the trend and accelerate high-quality development.

With the huge market prospects, it is believed that more and more companies will begin to layout the aluminum industry for new energy and catch this high-speed development train. As a manufacturer of automatic hydraulic presses with a 66-year history, HLT will work with customers to explore more stable, efficient and green aluminum extrusion solutions for the new energy industry in the field of metal extrusion presses.
