What problems did you encounter at your mining site?
Production will stop as soon as there is a power outage. Crushing, pumping stations and camps need to maintain power.
After the production expansion, the equipment could not be moved, and the crusher and water pump tripped as soon as they were started.
Without stable power supply at new mines and expansion sites, construction and installation will be slowed down.
When drainage pumps and tailings equipment are powered off, water accumulation, safety and environmental risks will increase.
Long-term self-generation in remote mining areas, fuel consumption and replenishment will determine long-term costs
Old machines have high fuel consumption and many faults. Before expanding production, it is necessary to decide whether to update or parallel machines.
4 steps to help you clarify your purchasing needs
01
Confirm the type of on-site power supply problem
First, clearly explain power outages, voltage fluctuations, inability to expand production, drainage and power supply, power supply for construction, fuel costs or old machine replacement, so as to avoid quoting only based on power at the beginning.
Determine on-site problems 02Recheck which loads must be powered on
Crushing, screening, conveying, pumping stations, camps, maintenance workshops and safety loads should not only look at the total power, but also the starting method, simultaneous operation relationship and power outage priority.
Review payload list 03Confirm the scope of the entire power supply system
What is often needed at the mine site is not a single generator, but a combination of unit, ATS, parallel machine, low-voltage power distribution, fuel system, remote monitoring and spare parts.
View system configuration 04Confirm after-sales service level and charging standards
Before quoting, confirm the installation and commissioning, operational training, spare parts package, remote diagnosis, local collaboration, response timeliness, as well as which services are included in the quotation and which need to be billed separately.
Confirm after-sales standardsContact an engineer
Send us the location, load and on-site problems of the mining area, and our engineers will help you review the configuration.
If you are temporarily unclear about capacity, ATS, parallel operation, power distribution, fuel and after-sales scope, you can also leave your contact information first and we will communicate on a case-by-case basis based on the project situation.
Deliver after-sales support
What is more important than buying equipment is whether the after-sales service can keep up.
Buying equipment is just the beginning. What the mining area really needs to confirm is who is responsible for installation inspection, debugging assistance, operational training, spare parts preparation, fault diagnosis and service response after the equipment arrives at the site.
Who is responsible for installation and debugging?
After the equipment arrives at the site, it is necessary to confirm the foundation, grounding, cables, low-voltage power distribution, ATS, parallel conditions and first load commissioning arrangements.
How on-site personnel operate and maintain
Startup and shutdown, load switching, alarm viewing, inspection records and daily maintenance requirements must be handed over to the person in charge of the site.
Are common spare parts prepared in advance?
Confirm spare parts packages such as filters, belts, sensors, controllers, AVRs, etc. in advance based on operating hours and remoteness.
How to diagnose and respond after a fault occurs
When a fault occurs, operation records, alarm information and on-site photos must be used to determine the problem first, and then remote diagnosis, local collaboration and service response can be arranged.
After-sales service must be confirmed clearly before quotation and delivery to avoid failure in installation, spare parts, remote diagnosis, local collaboration and fault response after the equipment arrives.
Construct risk avoidance
Avoid 12 common pitfalls in mine power supply system construction
Let’s first look at some of the problems that are most likely to lead to production shutdowns, tripping, out-of-control fuel consumption and after-sales waiting. The complete list can be viewed item by item in the pit avoidance guide.
No spare parts and maintenance plan
Remote mining areas are not just afraid of major failures. Filters, belts, sensors, controllers, AVRs, pumps and electrical parts are not ready, and minor failures can cause downtime for several days.
Drainage, tailings and safety equipment do not have independent power guarantees
Drainage pumps, tailings pumps, water treatment and safety monitoring cannot be powered off together with ordinary production loads. Before construction, it is necessary to confirm which safety loads must be independently powered.
Main power supply and backup power supply are not clearly distinguished
Having a generator does not mean having a backup power supply. Which loads are protected by active, backup and ATS switching during a power outage need to be clarified in advance before configuration.
The generator is big enough but the power distribution and cables have not kept up.
The generator capacity is large enough, but if the low-voltage cabinets, circuit breakers, cables and load partitions do not keep up, there will still be voltage drops and trips on site. When purchasing, the power distribution should be reviewed together.
Buy generators only based on equipment power
It is easy to underestimate the startup impact of crushers, water pumps and air compressors by only looking at the equipment nameplate power. Before purchasing, review the starting current, simultaneous operation and expansion margin.
No power capacity was reserved before expansion
Expansion is not just about adding a new piece of equipment, power capacity, power distribution, cables, fuel and spare parts must keep up. Otherwise, the new equipment may not be able to be started after it arrives at the site.
Only looking at the purchase price of the generator does not count the fuel consumption
Remote mining areas have long-term self-generated power, and the real big costs are often diesel, transportation, maintenance and downtime costs. When comparing prices, don’t just look at the purchase price of the generator.
The fuel tank and refueling route are not planned
Having a generator does not mean that there is stable power on site. Daily fuel tanks, large fuel tanks, replenishment frequency and transportation routes are not well planned, and the unit may shut down due to lack of oil.
Review of Ecuador mining case
How to solve the problem of production, drainage and camps being affected when a customer loses power
The customer initially asked about the backup diesel generator. As engineers continued to learn about the mining site, they discovered that what really needed to be solved was the simultaneous impact on production lines, dewatering pumps, campsites, and communications during a power outage. By reorganizing key loads, startup sequence, ATS switching, low-voltage power distribution, fuel replenishment and after-sales response, we help customers avoid the losses caused by buying only one piece of equipment and still being unable to carry the load, water drainage interruption, camp power outage, repeated power replenishment and production shutdown.
The customer first put forward a rough requirement
At first, the customer only said that the power supply in the mining area was unstable and wanted to add a backup diesel generator. The engineer did not immediately quote the price based on the power meter, but first asked where power outages usually occur and which equipment would be forced to stop.
Engineers have an in-depth understanding of mine power needs
After the engineers continued to communicate, the on-site problems became clearer: breaking lines, drainage pumps, camp lighting, communications and maintenance workshops would all be affected by the power supply, among which drainage and safety loads could not wait until manual switching and then restored.
Engineers help customers avoid the pitfalls of lowest power configuration
If you only configure the machine according to the lowest power, the generator seems to be cheaper, but the crusher and water pump may have a voltage drop and trip when they are started, and there will be no margin after expansion. Engineers rechecked the starting current, simultaneous operation relationship and key load priority.
Engineers sort out the overall power supply system solution for customers
After review, the engineer judged that the plan should not only stop at one diesel generator, but also confirm the diesel generator set, ATS, low-voltage power distribution, fuel system, monitoring interface and common spare parts together to let the customer know the true scope of purchase.
Engineers provide access, debugging and engineering guidance
Before the equipment arrives at the site, engineers list the foundation, cables, grounding, hoisting, oil circuits, exhaust, start-up test, load test and operation training one by one. The on-site team knows what to prepare first and how to access and debug after arriving at the site.
After a problem occurs, engineers will assist in judgment immediately.
After operation, if alarms, tripping or starting difficulties occur, engineers will first determine the scope of the problem based on controller photos, fault codes, operating hours and maintenance records, and then arrange remote diagnosis or local collaboration.
The engineer said: What we are most worried about is that customers only pay attention to the lowest power and the price of a single unit, and ignore access debugging, power distribution and after-sales response, which ultimately affects production, drainage and camp electricity use. Our goal is to provide stable, safe and cost-controllable power supply for mining production and life.
