Chinese Iron Ore Mine Choose Giamec Chargers


A Chinese iron ore producer recently put three Giamec
211 charging trucks, similar to the one shown here, to
work in an underground mine in Yunnan Province,
China.
Swedish tunneling and mining equipment specialist GIA Industri has delivered three Giamec 211 charging trucks to the Da Hong Shan iron ore mine at Yuxi county, in Yunnan Province, China. This operation is undergoing major development by Kunming Iron and Steel, under the supervision of China’s national planning committee, aimed at achieving an annual output of 4 million mt. This would make it the largest iron ore producer in China. Previously, blasting involved placing charges manually.
The four-wheel drive, articulated Giamec 211 is specifically designed for underground mining and tunneling operations and can be used on steeply inclined slopes and in tight working situations. A small turning radius ensures high maneuverability in narrow drifts. The vehicle can be equipped with a boom and basket, and a scissors platform for charging and scaling. Alternatively, the versatile Giamec truck can be adapted for use as a small workshop, lube truck, or personnel and material carrier with crane. Charging capacity is 50 m at up to 130 kg/min and the process is carried out with external air or with air from an onboard diesel-hydraulic or electrically driven compressor option.
The Giamec 211 features a hydraulically operated HL 150 boom offering a maximum working length of 6.6 m, a 90º swing with a +60º/-35º boom lift covering a 93 m2 area. The constant pressure hydraulic system is rated at 200 bar working pressure and an oil flow of 30 l/min. Da Hong Shan specified the electric hydraulic version with a 125-m-long cable run and onboard step-down transformer.
