Shenhuo New Materials officially begins the trial production of its new energy-power battery materials project

China-based Shenhuo New Materials has successfully launched its new energy-power battery materials project, with an annual output of 60,000 tonnes. After two years of intense preparation and construction, eight production lines have officially entered the full-scale trial production stage.

According to reports, Shenhuo New Materials' energy power battery materials project, which has an annual output capacity of 60,000 tonnes, achieved a significant milestone. Following the commissioning of the first roughing mill on February 4, 2024, all eight mills completed their material commissioning in just 184 days, with an average commissioning time of only 23 days per mill. This accomplishment sets a new record for domestic mill debugging times in the industry.

The project is equipped with eight aluminium foil rolling mills, eight slitting machines, and three work roll grinding machines, placing it at the forefront of the industry. It primarily produces various battery foils and flexible packaging foils with thicknesses ranging from 0.009 to 0.05 mm.

Currently, the project has achieved mass production of ultra-thin food foil, medical foil, and cigarette foil, utilizing 8079/1235 alloy with thicknesses of 6 μm, 5.8 μm, 5.5 μm, and 5.3 μm. Additionally, some machines have transitioned from producing double-zero foil to power battery foil, successfully manufacturing 13 μm thick battery foil from 1070 alloy.
