On August 13, the grand ceremony titled Glorious Off‑line of Longi New‑Product Coupled‑Magnetic‑Field Modular High‑Intensity Magnetic Separator & 2026 Conference on Green and Intelligent Mineral‑Processing Technology for Weak‑Magnetic Ores kicked off. The world’s first coupled‑magnetic‑field modular high‑intensity magnetic separator was officially unveiled.
Leveraging original core technologies, the equipment has broken through multiple industrial technical bottlenecks, sounding a powerful clarion call for independent innovation of domestic high‑end magnetic separation equipment.
This event brought together top‑tier forces from the industry. Distinguished guests present at the ceremony included Mr. Zhang Chunfu, Second‑Level Inspector of Liaoning Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology; Mr. Jing Xiaobo, Executive President of China Heavy Machinery Industry Association; Mr. Lei Pingxi, Chief Engineer of China Metallurgical Mining Enterprise Association; Mr. Bai Xuqiang, Deputy General Manager of Ansteel Group Mining Co., Ltd.; Mr. Yao Baozhong, Deputy General Manager of Sinohydro Bureau 6 Co., Ltd.; Mr. Han Yuexin, Professor of the School of Resources and Civil Engineering, Northeastern University, and Director of the National‑Local Joint Engineering Research Center for Efficient Development and Utilization of Iron Ore Resources; Mr. Cao Yumin, Chairman of Tangshan Haigang Kaihexin Logistics Co., Ltd.; Mr. Yu Qiubo, General Manager of Sanying Mining Group; as well as Mr. Zhang Chengchen, Chairman, and Mr. Zhao Nengping, General Manager of Longi magnet Co., Ltd.
More than 200 industry colleagues witnessed this highlight moment, including representatives from domestic mining enterprises such as Jianlong Group, Taiyuan Iron & Steel Group, Lingyuan Iron & Steel Group, Taike Group, Huaxia Guoyuan and Beipiao Dingxin; design institutes including MCC Changtian, MCC Northern, MCC Shenkan and China Nerin Engineering Co., Ltd.; universities including Lanzhou University and Taiyuan University of Technology; as well as multiple overseas mining institutions.
In his address, Zhang Chengchen, Chairman of Longi, stated that mineral resources bear on the security of industrial and supply chains. Domestic ores are generally characterized by “low‑grade, fine‑grained and complex composition”. Coupled with increasingly stringent environmental‑protection regulations, the industry is in urgent need of new‑type mineral‑processing equipment and process solutions that are green, intelligent and high‑efficiency.
Standing at the new starting point of the 15th Five‑Year Plan, Longi, with 33‑year‑long in‑depth dedication to magnetic separation, adheres to independent innovation. By tackling key core technologies, the company has developed the coupled‑magnetic‑field modular high‑intensity magnetic separator.
Featuring an original coupled magnetic‑separation process, the equipment is suitable for the separation of weak‑magnetic minerals. It fills the gap in industrial separation performance and provides complete‑set solutions for the efficient recovery and low‑carbon transformation of weak‑magnetic minerals.
In his speech, Zhao Nengping, General Manager of Longi, noted that the successful off‑line of this new product marks an important milestone achievement for the enterprise after years of deep‑rooted development in magnetic‑separation equipment and persistent independent innovation. It also fully reflects the strong support and collaborative empowerment from all sectors of the industry.
Looking ahead, Longi will keep optimizing the coupled‑magnetic‑field technical system, deepen industry‑university‑research‑application cooperation, and continuously contribute to the quality improvement, efficiency enhancement, as well as green, low‑carbon and high‑quality development of the mining industry.
