High-end equipment breakthrough: Multiple "national heavy equipment" fill the gap, and technological innovation leads industry upgrading

Northern Heavy Industries Group Co., Ltd. has always regarded technological innovation as its core competitiveness. In 2025, it achieved a series of milestone results in key technological breakthroughs: it won 3 provincial and ministerial-level science and technology awards, obtained 9 new authorized patents, successfully tackled 1 "bottleneck" technology that had long restricted the industry's development, and took practical actions to implement the development concept of " The transformation from "Made in China" to "Created in China'".

In the field of metallurgical equipment, the "Scissor King" has once again achieved great success. The independently designed and manufactured 5.5-meter crop shear and fixed-length shear have been successfully put into production, filling the domestic gap in China's steel and metallurgical industry with a shearing accuracy of 0.1mm. The equipment utilization rate has increased by more than 30%, and the comprehensive energy saving has reached 15%. This has consolidated its market share of over 70% in the domestic shearing equipment field.

In the field of mining equipment, the large-scale vertical spiral mill, utilizing permanent magnet semi-direct drive technology, has completed its on-load test run. This significant technological breakthrough not only signifies revolutionary progress in China's high-end mining equipment sector, but also represents a leapfrog in green mining technology application for Chinese manufacturing compared to international peers. Jointly developed with Northeastern University, the first microwave rock-breaking tunneling machine in China has solved the industry's challenges of "low efficiency and high wear" in hard rock tunneling, offering a greener and more efficient solution for deep mines and tunnel projects.

In the field of tunnel boring, the "Tian-gong" ultra-deep shaft full-section reaming hard rock boring machine set a record of 20.189 meters of daily footage at the Songyang Pumped Storage Power Station in Zhejiang Province. On December 7, 2025, the 637-meter No. 1 shaft of the water diversion system of the Songyang Pumped Storage Power Station was fully drilled through. This equipment demonstrated the strength of China's equipment manufacturing with its impressive performance of "two-time refresh industry standards and four-time break industry records".
