在來賓市工業園區鳳凰工業園，坐落著一座見證了66年風雲變幻的老廠——廣西鐵合金有限責任公司（以下簡稱“合金公司”）。其前身廣西八一錳礦，自1959年8月1日創立，當地人習慣稱它為“八一錳礦”，是當時全國三大錳礦開採基地之一，在社會主義建設中為國家提供優質錳礦石，曾得到國務院嘉獎令。多年來，它從紮根於這片土地到逐漸壯大，成為了廣西乃至全國重要的錳系鐵合金生產基地，如今正以創新和實幹書寫新篇。

Walking into the alloy company, the exclusive transportation railway in the factory area and the huge conveyor belt running in an orderly manner come into view, but there is no transport vehicle shuttle, and there is no flying dust, which is very different from traditional mining enterprises. The staff told reporters that thanks to the advanced environmental protection dust removal and purification system and sewage treatment system, zero sewage discharge has been realized, and the plant and surrounding environment have become fresher.

When you come to the control center, you will see a huge screen with a height of two floors, dozens of computers in front of you, precise control of various parameters, and a clear overview of the factory area on the screen, with a panoramic view of every key part. Between the steel and iron bones, the giant gantry crane accurately lifts the goods, and the workers inspect at specific positions. The seemingly calm furnace No. 1 has molten iron gushing inside, and various parameters are recorded one by one.

2024年11月，柳鋼綠色錳系列新材料產業基地升級改造專案1號爐產出第一爐鐵水，標誌著合金公司發展進入新階段。值班爐長黃承德在公司工作多年，他興奮地說：“如今在管控中心就能遠端完成火車卸料、配料、上料、冶煉生產等工序，新廠區實現了從半自動化到智慧製造的轉變。”

"This upgrade is an all-round change." Huang Chengde said with emotion that after the optimization of process technology, the production process is like pressing the "acceleration button", and the efficiency has been greatly improved, and the company's gross domestic product increased by 78% year-on-year from 0 to 0 months this year; The wastewater recycling system realizes zero sewage discharge, protects the lucid waters and lush mountains, and realizes green development; In terms of comprehensive utilization of flue gas, the furnace gas emitted in the open furnace in the past is now collected and recycled in the gas power generation and power generation tail gas circulation supply and drying system, and the drying effect of raw materials is better, and it is easy to meet the furnace standard, taking the step of circular economy.

In the past, alloy companies used small, open furnaces, where the heat from the flame was dissipated unchecked, wasting energy and inefficient. Today, closed furnaces lock in heat and double the efficiency.

With the increased degree of automation, one furnace worker can control two or three furnaces at the same time. In the past, the slag pond with a high risk factor can now be accurately completed in the control center, which not only improves the efficiency, but also ensures the safety of workers.

The process has also changed dramatically. In the past, relying on manual judgment inevitably led to errors. Now, through the 5-hour uninterrupted monitoring of various advanced instruments, the data is accurate and the safety factor has risen sharply. Now a furnace of molten iron is fifty or sixty tons, and the output is 0~0 times that of the previous small furnace, and the iron tapping efficiency has been significantly improved.

這些年，合金公司歷經多次改制與重組，2021年4月加入廣西柳州鋼鐵集團有限公司后，更是注入了源源不斷的新活力。在創新發展的道路上，合金公司腳踏實地，用實際行動將“實幹為本、創新為魂”的理念詮釋得淋漓盡致。

Today, this old factory with a history of 66 years is moving towards a more brilliant future with a new attitude, which is not only the epitome of Guangxi's industrial development, but also will become a strong engine to promote the regional economic take-off, and continue to write the industrial legend of the new era.
