SWAN · Price

Executive Summary

  • Black Swan Graphene completed a major production capacity expansion at its Consett, UK facility, more than tripling annual output to >140 tonnes of graphene nanoplatelets (GNP).
  • The new 3160 Ariete System from GEA Group was calibrated and commissioned for continuous three‑shift operation, delivering flow rates up to 22,000 L/hr.
  • Expanded capacity supports the GraphCore™ product line and a growing global distribution network, positioning the company for accelerated revenue growth.

Key Details

  • Expansion Scope: Annual manufacturing capacity increased from ~40 tonnes to >140 tonnes of GNP (≈3.5× increase).
  • Equipment Installed: 3160 Ariete System (industrial homogenizer) manufactured by GEA Group AG, customized for Black Swan’s High‑Shear Liquid‑Phase Exfoliation Process.
  • Operational Status: Calibration and commissioning completed; system ready for continuous operation on a three‑shift schedule.
  • Production Capability: Industrial flow rates up to 22,000 L/hr enable large‑scale, consistent output.
  • Strategic Impact: Marks transition from pilot‑scale to full industrial‑scale manufacturing; provides spare capacity for customer‑tailored development programs.
  • Product Support: Capacity directly underpins GraphCore™ line and the broader Graphene Enhanced Masterbatch™ (GEM) offerings used in polymers/composites.
  • Distribution Network: Partnerships with Hubron International, Broadway Colours, Modern Dispersions, Thomas Swan & Co., Metco Resources (India), Supergrafeno (South America), Ferro (South Africa).
  • Quote: “The completion of this capacity expansion marks a major inflection point for the Company… we are well positioned to meet growing global demand…” – Michael Edwards, COO.

Notable Quotes

“We have transitioned from pilot‑scale development to full industrial‑scale manufacturing. With this facility fully operational, we are well positioned to meet growing global demand for consistent, scalable ‘Made with GEM’ solutions that are ready for immediate commercial deployment.” – Michael Edwards, Chief Operating Officer, Black Swan Graphene Inc.
