With a total investment of 1.76 billion yuan, the sapphire crystal growth project of Taiyuan Yuanhan Technology has taken shape

The main building of the first phase of the Taiyuan Yuanhan Technology Sapphire Crystal Growth Project in the Zhongbei Hi-tech Zone of Taiyuan, Shanxi Province has been topped off, and the equipment is being installed at a rapid pace, preliminarily meeting the conditions for sapphire crystal production.

The sapphire crystal growth project led by Taiyuan Yuanhan Technology Co., Ltd. is located south of Park South Street in Shanglan District. According to the plan, it will build about 75,000 square meters of factory buildings and supporting facilities, with a total investment of 1.76 billion yuan and a total planned land area of ​​158 mu. Among them, the sapphire crystal material and product industrial base will be built in the early stage, with a total investment of 1 billion yuan, and plans to invest 800 sets of advanced sapphire crystal growth equipment. The product processing project will purchase 70 sets of square cutting machines and other equipment production lines and ancillary equipment facilities.

According to Taiyuan News Network, Shan Guangyu, deputy general manager of Taiyuan Yuanhan Technology, said that the first phase of the project, which has started construction, covers an area of ​​88 mu, and will build two crystal growth workshops and one processing workshop, and invest in 480 sets of sapphire crystal production equipment. After the completion of the first phase of the project, the cumulative investment in production equipment will reach 800 sets, which can achieve an annual production and processing capacity of 2,400 tons of sapphire crystals.

According to the Taiyuan Evening News, as of now, the No. 1 crystal growth workshop has been completed, and 120 sapphire single crystal furnaces have been installed, and it is expected to be ready for production before July 15; the main body of the No. 2 crystal growth workshop has been completed, and the equipment will be ready for installation on July 10; the No. 3 processing workshop plans to start process installation on July 10, and the equipment will be ready for installation on July 30, and it is expected to achieve a production value of 300 million yuan in 2021.

According to reports, the main chemical component of sapphire is aluminum oxide, and its hardness is second only to diamond. It is mainly used for LED substrates, large-scale integrated circuit substrates, protective films for consumer electronics, mobile phone screens, various windows, infrared guidance, missile fairings, etc., and is widely used in optoelectronics, communications, national defense, medical and other fields.

Taiyuan Yuanhan Technology Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in the preparation, processing and sales of sapphire crystals, optoelectronic window materials and products, as well as industrial park management business. It has a complete industrial chain from research and development to sapphire growth, product processing and sales.
