Tung Yang Machine Industry Co., Ltd. Derived from the latest technology from the Japanese since 1963, Tung Yang has work continuously with many top Japanese companies and has now become one of the top quality names worldwide and sold more than 1,000 machines over the past 5 years

Hi-Air Computerized Stenter: Each hot air chamber is designed to stop all fan motors in a few seconds to protect the fabric when the machine is stopped. This is standard and is programmed by PLC. Two high efficient axial fans are installed in each chamber (3-M) for smooth and high air circulation. Each motor is controlled by an AC inverter drive for infinite variable speed, and the amount of hot air circulated inside the chamber can be set easily at the TY-POD. Adjusting the individual damper can regulate the volume of air circulated through the upper and lower nozzles in each chamber. The velocity of airflow inside the chamber is computer control to within ±10%, and the temperature variation to within ±2°C. Each exhaust fan is controlled by an AC inverter drive for variable speed control. Optimum speed can be obtained easily by setting at the TY-POD to cut down heat loss and reduce energy consumption. Heat source choices can be high pressurized steam, LNG or LPG, and Thermo Oil.

DRYER: By way of the inverter control of the feeding device, the three conveyor belts, the delivery roller and the plaiter device can be adjusted to cooperate with the tension of the fabric. Because of heat, the fabric may be shrunk in the chamber; therefore, the feeding volume of the fabric, while it starts to move into the chamber, can be controlled by the specially designed conveyor belt of our company and the speed of the individual drives, which makes each belt to provide its own feeding function. The fed fabric can be beaten by strongly hot air and simultaneously carried forward by the conveyor belts; besides, the tension of the fabric can be adjusted. No matter if it moves straight or crosswise, the fabric will be in a no tension condition. The speed of each section of the conveyor belt and the speed of the delivery roll and plaiter can all be adjusted freely by the inverters. Therefore, while the fabric on each section of the conveyor belt is shrunk because of heat, it may be formed to the no-tension waveform by adjusting the inverter of each section. Then, the fabric will turn out to have a great shrinkage and softness after beating by the powerfully hot air. In addition, each driver can be easily adjusted so that fabric can turn into the no tension condition during the drying process.

State Grid Qingzhou Power Boosts Livable Rural Development

QINGZHOU, China, July 8, 2024 — Recently, in Qingzhou, Weifang, Shandong, Lvsenglan Industry Flower Science and Technology Co., Ltd., which has adopted tiered electricity pricing for agricultural production, projects that its electricity costs will decrease by approximately 10% this year. This reflects the proactive efforts by the State Grid Qingzhou Power Supply Company to foster environments that are livable, conducive to business, and aesthetically pleasing.

The enhancement of policies has led to dual reductions in “electricity usage + connection” costs. The province pioneered the implementation of the tiered electricity pricing policy for agricultural production, promoting the policy through customer service centers and in-home visits, enabling agricultural clients to benefit from the policy and reduce electricity costs. Focusing on the energy needs of Qingzhou’s flower cultivation, the “three zeroes” service investment policy for small and micro enterprises was executed. This policy facilitates “one-time investment” for regional “zero-cost” clients, accumulating a total savings of 1.8016 million yuan in electric power investments for small and micro businesses.

Technological empowerment has enhanced both “safety + income” levels. Adapting to the rapid development trend of distributed photovoltaics, the integration of 5G technology has facilitated the construction of a “multi-in-one terminal + secure private network,” achieving comprehensive perception and flexible control over all scenarios of distributed photovoltaics. This has enhanced the carrying capacity and stability of the power grid, significantly boosted the benefits of customers’ photovoltaic power generation, and created a win-win situation for both “grid security and customer benefits.”

Service transformation has achieved the dual integration of “grid + village” management. Cooperation agreements for “joint village-grid construction” have been signed with 12 townships and villages, with electricity convenience service points covering all townships and power supply stations. The innovative application of “one code access” for electric services allows customers to handle transactions and report electrical hazards seamlessly. To date, over 186 electricity-related transactions have been handled by scanning QR codes, and more than 36 electrical safety hazards have been resolved, enhancing customer service satisfaction rates to 99.5%.

Lake Resources Provides Operational Update

SYDNEY, July 1, 2024 — Lake Resources N.L.(“Lake” or the “Company”) announces today an operational update regarding the Company’s plan to optimize its financial runway and maximise the value of the Kachi project (“Kachi”).

Lake-Resources-logo

“We continue to engage with interested parties as part of the strategic partnering process for Kachi,” said David Dickson, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Lake Resources. “We, along with industry analysts across the sector, see a structural deficit of battery-grade lithium in the next five years. Because of that, we are taking all necessary actions to secure our financial flexibility, ensuring we maximise value for our shareholders from the Goldman led strategic process.”

Update on the Strategic Partnering Process

Since the last update (refer to 4 March 2024 ASX announcement), the Company has progressed from reviewing a broad range of potential partners to participating in detailed discussions with a select group of interested parties. The Company is focused on ensuring that the process maximises Kachi’s value, which it believes will take longer than initially expected due to current macro environment conditions.

To support the value of the strategic partnering process, the non-binding Conditional Framework Agreements entered into in late 2022 with WMC Energy B.V. and SK On Co., Ltd. (refer to 5 October 2022 and 10 October 2022 ASX announcements, respectively) are not being progressed. Rather, the Company is focusing on the competitive strategic partnering process to secure equity investment and offtake agreements.

Non-Core Asset Sale Process

Lake is managing an ongoing process for the potential sale of non-core assets and lithium tenements located in Jujuy and Catamarca Provinces; namely Paso de Jama, Olaroz, Cauchari and Ancasti.

“These assets, while non-core to Lake’s strategy, are strategically located within the Lithium Triangle and offer exploration and development potential in close proximity to other known lithium resources,” Mr. Dickson said. “In order to focus our efforts on making Kachi a success, we believe the timing is right for marketing the sale of these assets, which is part of our plan to optimise the Company’s financial runway. This supports the work we have done over the past 18 months and the successful completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study showing that Kachi is a globally significant, tier-one project.”

Proactive Plan to Significantly Reduce Costs

In addition, the Company is implementing operating cost initiatives to right-size its headcount and expenditure level, without impact to ongoing strategic priorities for Kachi, which include:

  • Reduction of more than 50 percent of global headcount, including staggered exits over several months of six members of the Company’s executive team and additional rationalization of and decrease in general and administrative expenses. These actions are in addition to the approximate 50 percent reduction in non-core operational and administrative workforce announced in March 2024 (refer to 4 March 2024 ASX Announcement); and
  • Voluntary deferral of a significant portion of the CEO’s base salary.

These actions are not expected to impact Lake’s ongoing strategic priorities for Kachi, including: the outcome of the Environmental Impact Assessment; the advancement of work on the power solution with YPF Luz; the strategic partnering process; or the strong relationships the Company has built with the surrounding communities.

Strong Cash Position

As reported in the Company’s most recent quarterly 5B (refer to 28 April 2024 ASX announcement), Lake’s cash balance as of 31 March 2024, was A$30.8 million (excluding the A$1.5 million from the Share Purchase Plan, which closed on 18 April 2024). With the benefit of a significantly smaller organization and additional reductions in expenditures, consumption of cash reserves is expected to reduce as we progress through the second half of 2024.
