Breaking the Ice and Moving Forward for a Win-Win Future | The Kick-off Meeting for Zhejiang Bwokai’s BEST Cryopump Project Concludes Successfully

On the morning of December 6, Zhejiang Bwokai Mechanical and Electrical Technology Co., Ltd. held a grand meeting. BEST Cryopump Project Kick-off Meeting. Senior company executives, the project’s core team, technical experts, and representatives from relevant partner organizations gathered to mark this significant milestone, followed by an on-site tour of the company’s flagship production facility, providing a deeper understanding of the project’s solid foundation and robust support.

Project Launch: Ushering in a New Chapter

At 9:00 a.m., the project kickoff meeting officially commenced at the company’s headquarters conference center. Chairman Wu Jianting delivered the opening address, stating, “The launch of the BEST cryopump project marks a solid step forward for Zhejiang Bwokai in the field of high-end equipment manufacturing. This project not only…” Aligning with the nation’s strategic direction for scientific and technological innovation, it will also open up new growth drivers for the company. 。”

The BEST cryopump, as a next-generation… Cryogenic Fluid Transfer Equipment It holds broad application prospects in fields such as semiconductor manufacturing, biopharmaceuticals, and aerospace. Following a year-long preliminary research and technical evaluation, the project’s R&D team has completed the initial design and has now officially entered the engineering implementation phase.

Go deep into the front lines and witness firsthand.

Following the kickoff meeting, the attending experts and partner representatives, accompanied by company leadership, visited the production floor and conducted an on-site tour of the facilities that provide core support for the BEST project. Five Key Workshops ：

1. Precision Machining Workshop

The expert panel first toured the state-of-the-art machining workshop, which is equipped with advanced machinery such as five-axis machining centers and high-precision CNC lathes. The workshop’s manager demonstrated on-site the custom‑designed, high‑precision part‑manufacturing process for the BEST project. The workshop’s micron‑level machining accuracy and rigorous quality‑control system earned high praise from the experts.

2. Intelligent Sheet Metal Workshop

In the sheet-metal workshop, fully automated laser cutting machines, CNC bending presses, and other equipment are operating smoothly, machining the external structural components and piping systems for cryopumps. Intelligent production lines and stringent environmental controls ensure that every sheet-metal part meets the specialized requirements of cryogenic equipment.

3. Helium Compressor Assembly Workshop

As the core power unit of a cryopump, the assembly quality of the helium compressor set directly impacts the overall performance of the system. During the visit, the experts gained an in-depth understanding of the company’s patented sealing technology, its ultra‑clean assembly environment, and its end‑to‑end testing platform, expressing strong appreciation for the company’s capabilities in the independent assembly of critical components.

4. Water Vapor Collector Assembly Workshop

In the water‑vapor trap assembly area, technicians demonstrated the filling process for high‑efficiency adsorbent materials and the vacuum brazing technique. This component is critical to the ultimate vacuum level of the cryopump, and the workshop’s constant‑temperature, constant‑humidity cleanroom environment, coupled with rigorous process discipline, left a lasting impression on visitors.

5. Cold Head and Cryopump Final Assembly Workshop

Finally, the expert team arrived at the project’s final assembly stage—the cold-head and cryopump integration workshop. This facility is equipped with industry‑leading ultra‑low‑temperature test rigs and vacuum‑testing systems. Some components of the project’s first engineering prototype have already begun pre‑assembly here, and the modular, platform‑based design philosophy and exceptional assembly precision vividly demonstrate Zhejiang Bwokai’s deep expertise in the integration of cryogenic equipment.

Technology Leadership, Innovation-Driven

Following the on-site visit, the project’s Technical Director further elaborated on the innovative core of the BEST cryopump during the technical seminar: “Building on the robust manufacturing foundation we’ve witnessed today, the BEST series integrates cutting-edge magnetic‑levitation bearing technology and an intelligent temperature‑control system. Our goal is to achieve unprecedented operational stability in the extreme −269°C environment, reduce energy consumption by 30%, and extend maintenance intervals by more than threefold.”

It is reported that the project has filed 8 national invention patent applications and 15 utility model patent applications, and has established a joint laboratory with the Institute of Low Temperature Science at Zhejiang University, thereby forging an end-to-end “industry–university–research” integrated innovation system that spans from fundamental research and core component manufacturing to complete‑machine integration.

Multi-party collaboration, co-creating value.

The participating partner representatives were deeply moved after the visit. A supply-chain partner remarked: “Today, I witnessed firsthand the entire process—from raw materials to precision components and finally to complex assemblies. Zhejiang Bwokai’s manufacturing prowess and quality‑control capabilities are truly impressive. We will do everything we can to ensure a steady supply of core materials; working with such a team, we are fully confident in the project’s success.”

Team Pledge: Mission Accomplished

In a solemn atmosphere, the project team members collectively took an oath: “We will, with the utmost enthusiasm, the most rigorous approach, and the highest level of professional expertise, ensure the success of the BEST cryopump project.” Promote with high quality , delivered on schedule, creating an industry‑leading product!

At the conclusion of the kickoff meeting, General Manager Chen Jiafu summarized: “Today’s kickoff and the workshop tour not only marked the project’s inception but also provided a comprehensive showcase of Zhejiang Bwokai’s systematic capabilities—from R&D to manufacturing. The BEST project represents a significant milestone in the company’s transformation and upgrading. We will seize this opportunity to comprehensively enhance our technological innovation and market competitiveness, thereby making a solid contribution to the development of China’s high-end equipment manufacturing sector.”
