CASE STUDIES

Trusted by Industry Leaders Worldwide

Dajin Heavy Industry Wind Tower Manufacturing

"EZHONG's 3-roll plate bending machine transformed our wind tower production line. Tapered shell rolling achieves ±0.1° precision, and our production cycle reduced by 40%. The RMB 41 million contract was one of our best capital equipment investments."

Results: ±0.1° precision · 40% faster production · RMB 41M contract

Baosteel Group Special Steel Division

"The EZW43CY is the ONLY machine in China capable of leveling 1100 MPa armored steel. ±0.05mm flatness exceeds MIL-DTL-46100 standard by 37%. EZHONG's two national invention patents for armor steel leveling make them our exclusive supplier for this critical application."

Results: ±0.05mm flatness · 37% above MIL standard · 2 national patents

SANY Heavy Industry Construction Machinery

"Achieved ±2mm/m flatness required for robotic welding of excavator arms and crane booms. Welding interruption rate dropped from 30% to 2%. EZHONG's EZW43 high-strength steel leveler operates 24/7 in our production line."

Results: ±2mm/m flatness · 30%→2% weld errors · 24/7 operation
