In terms of transport efficiency, production safety and transport costs, the larger the truck load, the more economical it will be to use. Therefore, large mines always try to use larger car body size under the condition of technology permit.
However, limited to mechanical manufacturing technology and material technology, the mining superheavy trucks in China have always relied on imports. They were purchased from the Soviet Union, Poland, Germany and the United States with high prices and low tonnage, most of which were trucks of less than 100 tons. The efficiency and price of the trucks were not satisfactory.
After decades of technological catch-up, China began making overweight trucks for the world`s largest iron ore mines. From a technical point of view, this marks a further step in China`s industrial level, catching up with the highest levels in developed countries. From the point of view of international trade, China has exchanged high-value-added mechanical products for ores, earned back the money made by other countries with resources, promoted employment and trained the technical team, which is a virtuous circle that should be vigorously promoted.
China exports 230 tons of trucks to Australia
Recently, four SF33901 230-ton electric wheel dump trucks independently developed by Xiangdian heavy equipment Co., Ltd. were delivered to Australia Rio Tinto at the Tienniubu Terminal in Xiangtan City for shipment to Australia. The SF33901 230-ton electric wheel dump truck, which is manufactured by Hunan Electric Power, is the only mine equipment product with independent intellectual property rights in the field of large-scale electric wheel dump truck in China.
Ms. Sun Fangan, Australian Ambassador to China, Mr. Luo Xinguo, Deputy Director of Hunan Provincial Department of Commerce, Mr. Tom Palma, Chief operating Officer of Rio Tinto Iron Mine, Mr. Bao Yian, President of Rio Tinto China, and Mr. Zhou Jianxiong, Chairman of Xiangdian Group Co., Ltd., Mr. Li Jiping, chairman of Hunan Power heavy fitting Company, attended the delivery ceremony.
SF33901 electric wheel dump truck is a brand-new product made according to Australian climate and mine environment and the rich experience and individual demand of mining machinery from Tinto project team. At present, the electric dump truck is the only domestic dump truck fully owned independent intellectual property rights products, it has low emissions, strong power of new engines and the world`s leading AC propulsion system, with a load of 260 tons, 145 cubic meters of minerals, equipment performance to the international advanced level. In addition, the electric dump truck also created the first hydraulic control staircase in China, added repair stairs, repair platform, foldable rear axle case repair stairs, very convenient for the comprehensive maintenance of the vehicle.
The car is known to have a tire of 4.03 meters in diameter, taller than two adults, and looks like the "pillar" of the Transformers. The car is designed to carry a full weight equivalent to the standard gross weight of six carriages. The maximum speed is 64 kilometers per hour, with the characteristics of large volume, heavy load, light gravity, etc. It can be used for the transportation of coal, iron, copper, gold, oil sand and other open-air minerals and earth-rockwork in extra-large projects, including coal, iron, copper, gold, oil sand and other open-air minerals. It can help large-scale open-pit mining enterprises to improve mining productivity and reduce transportation costs.
It is reported that Xiangdian heavy equipment and Australia`s third-largest iron ore exporter FMG, as well as domestic Shenhua Group, China Coal Group, China Datang and other enterprises signed an intention contract. Soon, the model will be put into large-scale production. Zhongzhi Jingcheng (Xiangtan) heavy Industry equipment Co., Ltd. will also launch 200T, 300t series of products, all of which are expected to reach the postpartum annual production scale of 200sets, can achieve an annual output value of more than 5 billion yuan.
Xiangdian reassembly parent company-Xiangdian Group was founded in 1936, is a well-known mechanical and electrical equipment supplier, service provider. The group has electrical equipment, vehicle equipment and new energy equipment manufacturing three core industries. Rio Tinto Australia is a world-renowned mining company. This cooperation between the two sides, to enhance the competitiveness of both markets, create common value, has a demonstration effect.
The delivery of the first batch of four 230-ton electric wheel dump trucks has realized the first export of China`s large electric wheel dump trucks to developed countries and first-class mining enterprises, marking a key breakthrough in the international market of major mining equipment made in China.
