When mentioning Gucheng, most people's first reaction is probably " A small town by the Han River, not noisy, not noisy, and has no sense of existence."。

But in mid-November this year, this county will suddenly become a little different - about 500 people from the new energy industry chain will come from Shanghai, Shenzhen, Changsha, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia and even Russia. Among them are professors from Central South University, technical leaders from OEMs and battery cell factories, material people who make sodium batteries, hard carbon, and solid electrolytes, as well as overseas traders who focus on overseas factory construction and carbon compliance.

It is not a cultural tourism check-in, nor is it a casual industry dinner. They are running for the same thing: The relocation of Yifu Intelligent Hubei New Industrial Park, and the new energy and new materials forum that was "full of useful information" at the same time。

Many people are curious about how a company that manufactures grinding equipment can move to such a large scale.

The answer actually lies in the folds of industry.

The first half of new energy focuses on resources, production capacity, and Wh cost; the second half focuses on powder consistency, particle size distribution, metal foreign matter control, and power consumption per ton. No matter how good the material formula is, if the precursor is unevenly ground and the slurry is not dispersed stably, the subsequent pole pieces, cells, and cycle life will all be compromised.

Yifu has focused on "Wet Grinding + Intelligent Dispersion" for more than 20 yearsIn this matter, from LFP, sodium cathode, silicon carbon anode to solid electrolyte slurry, what we do is not to sell a sand mill separately, but to connect batching, grinding, grading, transportation and process data into a reproducible production line.

What the forum has discussed in the past two days is not macro talk, but some of the most painful issues in the industry.

The lithium battery special session will dismantle the competitive landscape of lithium iron phosphate, manganese-based small power, and the evolution of conductive agents; the sodium battery special session will talk about NFS/NFPP cathode division of labor, hard carbon anode industrialization, and sodium battery energy storage accounting; the comprehensive special session will cover sodium solid state, PEO ceramic electrolyte, hydrogen-electric hybrid, CNT dispersion, and recycling smart equipment. The overseas special sessions are even more welcome: Korean transformation, Japanese market, Indonesian nickel chain, Australian route, European barriers, African resources, Russian window.

Among the guests were Hu Guorong and Tang Yougen from Central South University, Wang Zhenbo from Harbin Institute of Technology, Ma Zifeng from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Cao Yuliang from Jiana, as well as Dr. Kim Sang-ho, consultant of South Korea's INFOR, and front-line leaders of overseas companies and material factories. You are not here to talk about PPT, you are here to learn"Production line yield, dielectric loss, particle size distribution, overseas compliance"Spread out and chat.

The most noteworthy thing to see at the scene is the intelligent production line in Yifu New Park.

Grinding, dispersing, grading, and conveying are not a stand-alone shot, but process matching according to the material system: how to prevent LFP high-pressure compaction precursor from bleaching to D50, how to use microbeads to grind silicon carbon negative electrodes without breaking the crystal, how to control metal foreign matter in solid electrolytes, and how to re-homogenize recycled black powder.

Equipment is not a purchase item at the end of the production line, but an invisible base for material yield and manufacturing cost.

Guests who come can get three things at the same time:See new production lines, hear real problems, meet the right people——Material factories, equipment factories, battery cell factories, main engine factories, scientific research institutes, and overseas service providers are all on the same line of movement.

So back to the question at the beginning: What are the 500 new energy experts doing in the small county?

They are at a purer site, recalibrating the scale of new energy manufacturing.

When the industry shifts from "running fast" to "sharpening", what is truly scarce is not the concept, but the ability to put powder, equipment, production lines, and overseas delivery on one table.

On November 16, Gucheng New Park opened its doors, and Yifu put this sentence into production lines and forums: Yi starts a new journey and has a rich future. If you are making materials, making batteries, manufacturing for sea, and doing recycling, Yifu is looking forward to your visit in Gucheng.
