Sinomach Heavy Equipment Completes Batch Delivery of BEST TF Coil Boxes for Fusion Energy Project
Sinomach Heavy Equipment (Guoji Zhongzhuang) announced on September 27 that it has completed the manufacturing and delivery of eight TF coil boxes for the BEST (Compact Fusion Energy Experimental Device) project. The TF coil boxes are core components of the superconducting magnet system, designed to operate under extreme conditions of ultra-low temperature, ultra-strong magnetic fields, and high stress. The delivery ceremony was held at Sinomach's Deyang base. Song Yuntao, director of the Institute of Plasma Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, stated that Sinomach overcame multiple industry core technology gaps, completing the batch in 14 months, showcasing China's fusion equipment manufacturing capability. Sinomach Chairman Han Xiaojun called the achievement a milestone in China's independent fusion equipment development, noting that the company has mastered the full-process core manufacturing technology for fusion reactor key components. The two parties have also signed a new contract for batch manufacturing of shielding blocks for the BEST project.

China National Erzhong Heavy Industry Group (Guoji Zhongzhuang) announced on September 28 that it has completed and shipped all eight TF coil boxes for the world's first compact fusion energy experimental device, BEST (Burning plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak). The components were manufactured at the company's Deyang base in Sichuan over 14 months. The TF coil box is the core component of the superconducting magnet system, designed to operate under extreme conditions of ultra-low temperature, ultra-strong magnetic fields, and high stress. The BEST device, designed by the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and built by Fusion New Energy (Anhui) Co., Ltd., is located in Hefei's Future Science City. According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences' research plan, the device is scheduled for completion by the end of 2027, followed by deuterium-tritium burning plasma experiments targeting a fusion power of 20 to 200 megawatts, with the goal of achieving net energy gain and demonstrating fusion power generation by around 2030. The company has also signed a contract for mass production of shielding blocks for the BEST project, expanding cooperation beyond single components to broader system parts.
