Harper International commissions 2 carbon fibre lines in China
Harper International, US-based major provider of thermal processing solutions for advanced materials, has successfully completed installation and commissioning services on its most recently completed carbon fibre production lines for Shandong Yongcheng New Materials Co. Ltd. (SYNM) in the Shandong province of China. The installed production systems include Oxidation Ovens, LT & HT carbonisation furnaces, seamlessly integrated energy recovery, and waste gas abatement systems.
Harper’s expertise was highlighted through state-of-the-art system performance and resulting carbon fibre product uniformity. The Shandong site has commissioned two 3-metre-wide production scale carbon fibre lines that will enable the client to produce 3,000 metric tons per year of carbon fibre with optimised product quality and maximum efficiency. The SYNM site includes space for future capacity expansion to a total of 12,000 tonnes per year.
“We are pleased to have this opportunity to expand our footprint for Harper’s carbon fibre manufacturing solutions with our new customer in the Shandong region. We enjoyed strong cooperation with our SYNM colleagues, which permitted swift and efficient on-site installation and system start-up. We look forward to providing ongoing support to SYNM and their expansion plans,” says Paul Elwell, Vice President of Harper International.
