Automatic and efficient production of germanium particles in Chihong germanium industry

Recently, Chihong germanium particles, a new product of the germanium industry, successfully achieved automatic and efficient production, and successfully produced the first batch of germanium particles with particle sizes of 2mm and 4mm.

It is understood that since 2020, Chihong germanium industry has actively expanded the application field of germanium materials, combined with the industry market and customer demand, the early stage through the reduction of germanium ingots manually crushed to form 3mm ~ 5mm irregular particles for sales, due to manual knock time-consuming, and knock out germanium particles of different size and shape, products due to part of the particle size is too small to meet customer requirements. The production of germanium particles takes a long time and high loss. Only 400 ~ 500 grams of germanium particles can be obtained by melting germanium per kilogram zone. The remaining germanium materials need to be re-purified and put into use. The utilization rate is not high and occupies the production cost. With the continuous increase of germanium particles orders, in order to solve the problem of germanium particles production, since the beginning of this year, Chihong germanium industry has set up a project research and development team to put forward an optimization and improvement plan for the above problems, during which team members are arranged to go out to inspect equipment, install, debug, and explore the production process parameters, etc., after less than half a year, in early March this year, Chihong successfully debugged and produced the first batch of germanium particles with particle size of 2mm and 4mm.

Chihong germanium industry official said that the automatic production of germanium particles solved the problems of time-consuming, low utilization, irregular appearance and high labor intensity of the original process. The optimized casting process can produce round germanium particles with different particle sizes according to different particle size requirements, and it only takes 20 minutes to open a furnace, and the utilization rate can reach more than 90%. In the next step, Chihong germanium industry will continue to optimize production process parameters, form a more mature and stable production process, and constantly improve product quality.
