As a premier OEM Aluminium Foam Sandwich Factory, we recognize that modern industrial applications demand more than just basic insulation. Today's global market seeks the intersection of lightweight structural integrity, superior energy absorption, and advanced thermal shielding. This white paper explores the transformative role of AFS in the "Industry 4.0" era and why Chinese manufacturing remains the hub for supply chain resilience.
Aluminium foam sandwich panels offer a strength-to-weight ratio that traditional PIR or PU panels cannot match in specific structural contexts. By utilizing a porous metallic core, we achieve up to 80% weight reduction compared to solid steel plates.
The unique cellular structure of aluminium foam acts as a natural dampener. This makes it ideal for high-impact industrial zones, high-speed rail interiors, and noise-sensitive cold storage logistics hubs.
Aluminium is 100% recyclable. Our transition toward becoming an eco-friendly factory by 2023 ensures that our OEM sandwich solutions meet the rigorous carbon-neutral demands of European and North American markets.
The global demand for Aluminium Foam Sandwich materials is projected to grow significantly as the aerospace, automotive, and building industries pivot toward decarbonization. Large-scale infrastructure projects in the Middle East and Southeast Asia are increasingly specifying AFS for its non-combustible properties (Class A fire rating) and electromagnetic shielding capabilities.
Key procurement drivers for 2024-2025 include:
Shaanxi YuanShengHeTong Refrigeration Co., Ltd. is a professional factory and enterprise focusing on insulation panels and refrigeration equipment. Besides product manufacture, we also provide services like project design, construction, installation, as well as after-sales service.
We integrate "high quality products, one-stop project solution, engineering advanced services, and international trade" to provide customers with excellent products and satisfied services. Our involved professional fields include refrigeration of fruits, vegetables, food industry; also refrigeration of large supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, medical and logistics companies etc.
Our business in refrigeration fields started in 1996, with more than 20 years experience in refrigeration industry, we are confident in our professionality. And our factory is specializing in refrigeration manufacturing and technology.
The "China Factory 4.0" initiative is not just about automation; it's about connectivity and precision. Our facility, covering 60,000 square meters, utilizes advanced automatic split-joint production lines that minimize material waste and ensure millimetre-perfect dimensions for every sandwich panel.
With 8 advanced workshops and 120 acres of area, we manage high-volume OEM orders without compromising lead times. Our 180-strong workforce and 10-member QC team ensure every panel meets ISO standards.
From PIR/PU refrigeration panels to complex metallic foam cores, our machinery is adaptable. This allows us to pivot production based on the "Search Intent" of the global market—be it cold storage or high-tech industrial casing.
Our location allows us to cover the whole North-West market in China and seamlessly export to the world through established maritime and rail corridors.
Our founder started the business from refrigeration equipment marketing and installation.
First factory completed in Shaanxi; produced first cam-lock sandwich panels.
Lanzhou factory completed, covering the whole North-West China market.
Relocated to a 120-acre area with 8 advanced workshops for international business.
Input first automatic split-joint production line for high-precision panels.
Responsibility of sustainability: Transitioning into a globally recognized eco-friendly factory.
With about 180 workers and 10 QC team, the quality and efficiency are guaranteed. We operate four standardized workshops with high-quality production equipment.
Aluminium foam sandwich panels are used as floor panels and internal bulkheads in high-speed trains and aircraft, providing fire safety and vibration damping.
Large-scale refrigeration for fruits and vegetables requires panels that can withstand weight while maintaining extreme thermal barriers. Our PIR/AFS hybrids are industry leaders.
In the oil and gas sector, the energy-absorbing qualities of aluminium foam make it the preferred choice for shielding equipment from blast forces.
Modern "Tech-look" buildings use AFS for a metallic aesthetic that also offers insulation and soundproofing for urban environments.
While PU is an excellent thermal insulator, AFS provides structural rigidity, fire-proof properties, and impact resistance that PU alone cannot offer. AFS is often used as a structural skin or core for high-stress environments.
Yes. As a dedicated OEM Aluminium Foam Sandwich Factory, we customize thickness, cell density, skin material (Aluminium, Steel, or Carbon Fiber), and overall panel dimensions based on your engineering drawings.
We have a 10-person dedicated QC team. Every production run undergoes thermal conductivity testing, fire resistance certification, and structural load testing before being cleared for international shipping.
Typical lead times range from 15 to 30 days depending on the volume and customization level, supported by our dual-automatic production lines which maximize output efficiency.
