Published

on

By

SHENZHEN, China, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hasung, a professional solutions provider in the field of precious metals and alloys founded in 2014, is leveraging its years of accumulated expertise in precious metal processing and independent R&D capabilities to accelerate the internationalization of Chinese high-end precious metal equipment manufacturing, as the global jewelry manufacturing and precious metal processing industry continues to develop towards higher precision, higher purity, and higher efficiency.

The global jewelry market reached approximately USD 381.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to exceed USD 578 billion by 2033, driving increasing demand for high-precision precious metal manufacturing technologies, according to Grand View Research.

Advanced Precious Metal Processing Technology as the Upgrading Direction

In the field of precious metal processing, purity determines value, and details reveal quality. As global refineries, jewelers, and gold bullion manufacturers place stringent demands on product quality and manufacturing efficiency, traditional processing methods have become the production bottleneck due to unresolved issues such as oxidation, porosity, and precision. As a result, advanced casting, melting, and precision processing technologies are emerging as an important development direction for high-end precious metal manufacturing.

Guided by a focus on technology and product quality, Hasung has gradually formed an independent and highly stable core product system based on its deep understanding of industrial automation systems and advanced technology R&D capabilities. This system covers continuous casting equipment, metal granulating equipment, induction melting furnaces, gold bar casting machines, jewelry casting machines, metal powder making machines, etc.

This precious metal solution, which integrates intelligent control, efficient heating, and precision forming, effectively addresses the core pain points of the precious metal processing industry, such as oxidation control, yield, and production efficiency. Advanced IGBT wafers and high-frequency heating technology not only enable rapid melting of metal in a very short time, but also significantly reduce unit energy consumption. The PID intelligent temperature control system ensures that the molten metal has optimal fluidity, avoiding shrinkage porosity or uneven grain structure caused by temperature fluctuations.

Meanwhile, Hasung places strong emphasis on process stability and precision control. Through continuous optimization of equipment structure, temperature management, and automation systems, the company helps customers achieve greater consistency in precious metal casting and processing operations.

Rising Demand for High-Precision Precious Metal Processing Equipment

High-end precious metal processing equipment has long been dominated by German and Japanese manufacturers, especially when it comes to precision casting, temperature precision, and automation.

As manufacturers worldwide increasingly prioritize casting quality, material utilization, and process consistency, companies with strong engineering capabilities are gaining greater opportunities to compete in the global market.

Through sustained investment in engineering innovation, intelligent control systems, and precision manufacturing technologies, Hasung has continued to strengthen its competitiveness in high-end precious metal processing equipment. The results show up in how the equipment actually performs in production environments: more consistent, more reliable, less operator intervention.

That reputation has opened doors. Hasung’s equipment is now running in jewelry workshops, precious metal refineries, and advanced materials operations across Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America.

Expanding from Jewelry into Advanced Materials

As the global advanced manufacturing industry continues to increase its demand for high-performance metal materials, advanced precious metal processing technology is applied from the jewelry industry to a wider range of industrial applications.

In addition to the traditional jewelry manufacturing market, Hasung has also been actively expanding its applications in advanced materials and scientific research in recent years, like metal powder manufacturing, new material experimentation, precision alloy processing, and others. Its clients include not only jewelry manufacturers but also new material companies, university laboratories, and solder companies.

In the future, Hasung will intensify its R&D investment in precious metal processing technology, intelligent automation, and precision control, continuously improving product performance and global service capabilities.

LifeNet Health, NASA, and UNOS Complete First-of-Its-Kind Drone Kidney Transport Study to Help Save More Lives

Published

on

By

HAMPTON, Va., June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Teams from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), NASA Langley Research Center, and LifeNet Health successfully completed a groundbreaking study transporting human kidneys by drone beyond visual line of sight, marking a major milestone in the future of organ transportation and transplantation.

The June 5 flights highlight the potential for drone technology to support future innovations in organ transportation, with the goal of improving reliability, reducing transit times, and helping save more lives through transplantation.

During the study, the kidneys were biopsied and placed on preservation pumps before and after the flights to assess whether drone transportation affected organ integrity. Temperature, pressure, and altitude were monitored throughout the approximately 15-minute flights. Preliminary findings showed no evidence that the flights negatively affected the organs.

Organ transplantation is one of the most time-sensitive processes in healthcare. Once recovered, organs have only a limited window of viability, making efficient transportation critical to successful transplantation. Delays can impact organ function, patient outcomes, and whether a transplant can occur at all. Transportation innovation, including the exploration of drone technology, has the potential to expand access to transplantation for patients on the waitlist or reduce the time to transplant, improving patient outcomes.

“With more than 100,000 people currently waiting for a lifesaving transplant nationwide, innovation in organ transportation is essential,” said UNOS Interim CEO Mark Johnson. “This successful collaboration represents an important step toward making organ transportation safer, faster, and more efficient.”

According to national transplant data, another person is added to the U.S. transplant waiting list every eight minutes, while 13 people die each day waiting for an organ that never arrives. More than 3,000 people in Virginia alone are currently waiting for a lifesaving transplant.

The kidneys used in the study were donated for research by a donor family working with LifeNet Health after it was determined the organs would not be transplanted. Through these gifts, the organizations were able to evaluate how drone transportation may support future advances in transplantation logistics and organ preservation.

While transplantation saves lives today, donation for research helps save lives tomorrow. Organs and tissues that cannot be used for transplant can still help scientists improve preservation methods, develop new therapies, and explore future innovations in transplantation and patient care.

“Just as every patient waiting for a transplant matters, so does the timely transportation of the organs and tissues that can save and heal lives,” said Rony Thomas, President and CEO of LifeNet Health. “Advancing transportation and logistics innovation can make a meaningful difference in ensuring these lifesaving gifts reach patients when they are needed most.”

The study also highlights the broader impact of research donation. A single research donation can support multiple scientific studies and discoveries that may improve transplant outcomes and benefit patients for years to come. Many medical advances used in transplantation today were made possible through the generosity of donors and their families.

Donation for research occurs only with proper authorization and under strict ethical and regulatory standards. Families receive clear information about the process and can make informed decisions that honor their loved one’s wishes.

UNOS, NASA, and LifeNet Health continue exploring opportunities to further evaluate drone transportation in operational environments, including transporting research organs between hospitals and airports.
