Navitas Semiconductor tumbles after missing Q3 expectations
DOVER - Sunrise New Energy Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ:EPOW), a $32 million market cap company showing strong momentum with a 21% gain over the past six months, announced Wednesday it has been granted a patent for a multivariable particle size control system used in manufacturing graphite micro-powder.
The patent, titled "A Multivariable Particle Size Control System for Manufacturing Graphite Micro-Powder" (Authorization No. CN221619715U), applies artificial intelligence to control particle size during grinding and granulation processes in graphite anode material production.
According to the company’s press release, the system uses AI algorithms and real-time data acquisition to create a closed-loop optimization mechanism that adjusts variables like blade rotation speed and fan separation rate during manufacturing.
Sunrise New Energy claims the technology addresses challenges in traditional graphite powder production processes, which can suffer from inconsistent particle distribution and high energy consumption.
"AI-driven precision control represents a global frontier in advanced manufacturing," said Haiping Hu, CEO of Sunrise, in the statement.
The company, headquartered in Zibo, China, operates through a joint venture that has built a manufacturing facility in Guizhou Province with a production capacity of 50,000 tons. The plant utilizes electricity from renewable sources.
Sunrise New Energy manufactures graphite anode material used in lithium-ion batteries. The company trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol EPOW.
In other recent news, Sunrise New Energy Co., Ltd. announced a significant development with the securing of a $29 million supply contract. The company’s subsidiary, Sunrise (Guizhou) New Energy Materials Co., Ltd., will supply 10,000 tons of artificial graphite anode materials over a one-year period to China Sodium Times (Shenzhen) New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. Additionally, Sunrise New Energy has been granted a utility patent for an anti-eruption system designed for graphitization furnaces, enhancing safety through AI-enabled predictive monitoring. Another patent was granted for the preparation method of mesophase carbon microsphere-silicon carbon composite anode material. This patent involves a process using plasma technology and electrochemical deposition. In collaboration with Songci Electromechanical Technology Co., Ltd., Sunrise has also developed an advanced chemical vapor deposition system for silicon-carbon anodes. Furthermore, the company secured $600,000 in funding from the National Special Fund for Science and Technology Development for a project in Qianxinan Prefecture. These recent developments highlight Sunrise New Energy’s ongoing advancements in technology and strategic partnerships.
