Hangzhou Daming Achieves Milestone with Equipment Upgrade for 12-Meter Long Vessel Plates

Hangzhou Daming has achieved a major technological milestone with a successful equipment upgrade that enabled the company to process 12-meter long vessel plates. This significant development has enabled Daming to fulfill a high-priority order for high-temperature pressure vessel components, meeting stringent customer requirements for flatness, diagonal lines, internal stress release, and precise processing.

The challenge arose when Daming’s existing VIGANO cross-cutting equipment, capable of processing plates up to 10 meters long, was unable to handle the customer’s 12-meter-long plates. Given that high-temperature pressure vessels require exceptional precision in plate preparation to withstand extreme operating conditions, the inability to process longer plates posed a major obstacle. To meet these needs, Hangzhou Daming’s production technology team collaborated on an innovative solution. After thorough planning and the replacement of key equipment, Daming successfully cut the 12-meter-long plates with the precision required for the pressure vessel industry.

This breakthrough has not only solved a critical production problem but also underscored Hangzhou Daming’s capability to handle highly specialized and technically demanding orders. The  delivery of this large, complex order has earned Daming high praise from its customer and laid the foundation for continued cooperation.

The Significance of 12-Meter Plates in the Pressure Vessel Industry

The ability to produce 12-meter long plates is especially significant for industries like pressure vessel manufacturing. In this sector, materials must adhere to exceptionally high standards of flatness, thickness uniformity, and stress relief. For pressure vessels used in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and chemical processing, even the smallest imperfection can compromise structural integrity under extreme temperatures and pressure.

By upgrading its equipment to process plates of this length, Hangzhou Daming has expanded its capacity to supply critical materials to customers in these industries, where precision and reliability are paramount. The 12-meter plates allow manufacturers of pressure vessels to create larger, more complex components without the need for multiple welds or joins, which can introduce weak points. Daming’s ability to meet these precise demands has set the company apart as a trusted supplier in the pressure vessel market.

Pioneering the 12-Meter Era

With the completion of this order, Hangzhou Daming has officially entered the “12-meter era” in cut-to-length with VIGANO, solidifying its leadership position in the field. This development not only improves Daming’s service offering but also enhances its reputation for delivering high-quality, “one-stop” solutions. The ability to process longer plates with the required precision enables Daming to cater to a broader range of industries, further establishing the company’s status as an innovative, customer-focused manufacturer.
