Shandong Hemei Heavy Industry seizes the key turning point in the international mining industry and focuses on upgrading its intelligent equipment.

#Industry News ·2025-09-13 21:58:05

As the global mining landscape continued to undergo significant changes in mid-September, with incidents like Freeport's suspension of underground operations at the Grasberg gold and copper mine due to a massive influx of wet materials blocking access roads making headlines, market demand for improved mining safety and intelligent control systems has intensified.

Grasberg Accident and Trends in Mining Safety

The Grasberg mine in Indonesia suspended some mining operations due to wet materials blocking underground passageways, impacting safe evacuation routes and raising concerns within the global mining industry about internal mine controls, drainage systems, and equipment safety and reliability.

Such incidents necessitate increased investment by mining companies and equipment manufacturers in intelligent monitoring, remote diagnostics, drainage system optimization, and structural optimization to prevent similar safety hazards from recurring.

Shandong Hemei Heavy Industry: Responding to Trends and Promoting Intelligent Equipment Upgrades

As a leading manufacturer of inclined shaft scrapers and supplier of mining scrapers and electric excavators, Shandong Hemei Heavy Industry has keenly grasped this trend and has begun focusing on the following areas:

Enhancing Safety and Moisture Drainage Designs for Inclined Shaft Scrapers

The company has incorporated improved drainage structures into its new model of inclined shaft scrapers and added humidity and mud flow monitoring modules to its internal sensor system. Accumulation of wet material triggers an alarm, enabling operators to respond promptly.

Improving the Durability and Stability of Electric Excavators

Strengthening dust and water resistance in the design of electric mining excavators and optimizing their electrical control systems to enhance reliable operation in complex mining environments.

Deploying Remote Monitoring and Fault Warning Systems

Utilizing IoT and edge computing technologies, key parameters (such as vibration, temperature, and current) of scraper/excavator operations are monitored in real time, enabling off-site diagnosis and early warning.
