Vulcan

Ningbo Vulcan Technology Joint-stock Co., Ltd. was founded in May 1998 and is a national high-tech enterprise relying on high and new technologies. The company is located at No. 666 Jinyuan Road, Panhuo Street (Investment and Entrepreneurship Center), Yinzhou District, Ningbo City, covering an area of about 23,000 square meters, with a building area of 32,000 square meters. The company's leading products include mid-to-high-end mechanical seal products and silicon carbide and boron carbide series engineering ceramic materials. The company is the standing council member unit of the Hydraulic and Pneumatic Sealing Professional Branch of the China Machinery Industry Association. The company has established platforms such as a national demonstration academician workstation (Academician Wang Yuming serves as the company's scientist), a provincial-level R&D center, and a postdoctoral workstation, and has introduced and cultivated a talent echelon of more than 40 people. The company is based on independent innovation and scientific development, attaches importance to the research and development of new engineering ceramic materials and the cultivation of scientific and technological innovative talents, and currently has more than 400 employees. The company has undertaken and participated in 19 projects of various types, including the "12th Five-Year Plan" National Science and Technology Support Project, the National 863 Frontier Technology Research Project, national key special projects, and Ningbo's 2025 major projects. The preparation of high-end large-size ceramic sealing rings is a comprehensive manifestation of "Vulcan"'s technical strength. The company has been deeply engaged in the field of special ceramic materials for more than ten years, taking innovative research and development as the driving force for development, and has participated in the formulation of more than ten national and industry standards and obtained 17 invention patents. In 2020, the company was selected into the national list of specialized, refined, distinctive and innovative "Little Giant" enterprises. The project "Complete Technology Development and Application of High-end Ceramic Sealing Rings", which the company undertook as the main responsible unit, won the first prize of the 2018 China Machinery Industry Science and Technology Award and the special prize of the China Hydraulic and Pneumatic Sealing Industry Association in 2019. The project "Key Technology and Application of Mechanical Sealing System for High-power Radar", jointly undertaken by the company, won the second prize of the 2019 China Machinery Industry Science and Technology Award. On November 24, 2020, China successfully launched the Chang'e-5 lunar probe of the lunar exploration project with the Long March 5 Y5 carrier rocket. The high-end large-size ceramic sealing rings produced by the company and the high-performance fully enclosed internal circulation mechanical sealing system it participated in designing were applied to the large radar constituting the deep space TT&C network, serving as a core key equipment to assist the Chang'e-5 lunar mission. "Vulcan"'s ceramic materials are not only used in the aerospace field, but also have broad prospects in energy, semiconductors and other fields, with an annual output value of 200 million yuan.
