【SMM Aluminum Flash News】Major Milestone Reached in Yuanjiaba Aluminum Industrial Park
Recently, a key project in the Yuanjiaba Aluminum Industrial Park—located within the Guangyuan Economic and Technological Development Zone—reached a major milestone. Construction of the first phase of the 500,000-ton-per-annum molten aluminum alloy distribution and sharing center is now complete, including all supporting infrastructure. Equipment commissioning is expected to conclude by the end of November, paving the way for full-scale production. This project will serve as a powerful catalyst for the Guangyuan aluminum-based new materials industry, helping to address existing gaps, strengthen industrial chains, and drive transformation. With a total investment of 350 million yuan, the project spans approximately 52 mu (about 3.5 hectares) and features a planned total floor area of roughly 24,000 square meters. Since construction began, the project team has maintained strict quality control and adhered to a rigorous timeline to ensure efficient progress. Currently, the smelting workshop, auxiliary utility buildings, site infrastructure, and related facilities are fully constructed, and production equipment has been installed, marking the final stage of pre-production testing. The project employs an innovative, intensive operational model—centralized smelting and molten metal supply—which will gradually replace the traditional, inefficient practice of individual enterprises operating their own separate smelting furnaces. This approach effectively eliminates redundant construction, significantly reduces energy consumption and pollutant emissions, and alleviates the environmental compliance burden and energy costs for enterprises. It will help the industrial park move away from extensive, resource-heavy production methods, fostering a comprehensive transition toward a greener, low-carbon industrial model. Moving forward, the project team will focus on integrated equipment testing to ensure the facility becomes operational and reaches its targeted performance goals on schedule. Once in operation, the project will further refine Guangyuan’s aluminum-based new materials industrial ecosystem, expand the scale of the industrial cluster, and provide a robust foundation for the high-quality development of the industrial economy within the Guangyuan Economic and Technological Development Zone.
