As the global mining giant ships sail into the third decade of the 21st century, an unprecedented change is reshaping the industry map - from copper mines in Chile to iron ore in Australia, from the permafrost of Siberia to the grasslands of Africa, the wave of "green, intelligent and efficient" has swept every mine. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the proportion of global mining carbon emissions in total industrial emissions will be close to 28% by 2025, and China's "dual carbon" goal has pushed the energy efficiency of mining equipment into the spotlight. At the same time, mining scenarios are shifting from manpower-intensive to technology-defined efficiency: driverless mining trucks, 5G intelligent scheduling, ...... Behind these technical keywords is a battle for the right to speak in the future of mining.
In this change, the role of China's high-end equipment manufacturing industry has quietly changed. In the past, the pyramid of mining equipment was occupied by European, American and Japanese brands for a long time; Nowadays, Chinese enterprises represented by Lovol Heavy Industries are handing out a new business card to the world with the dual logic of technological breakthrough and ecological reconstruction. How can these Chinese intelligent manufacturing break through the technological blockade? And how to redefine the value of mines with a full-chain solution?
From follower to definer
The battlefield of mining equipment is essentially the struggle for the right to speak in technology. Lovol Heavy Industries is well aware of this, and its product logic directly hits the pain points of the industry - not only to run faster, but also to be green and environmentally friendly. In the field of mining, Lovol FR750F breaks the limitations of traditional equipment with a multi-purpose flexible design: the bucket capacity can be expanded to 5.0 cubic meters, the breaker is suitable for the 230 heavy-duty specification, and the rock arm modification can cope with complex crushing conditions, and with the Weichai WP15H high-torque engine and large-displacement main pump, the whole machine moves more smoothly and operates more fuel-efficient.
According to the feedback of users in a mining area in Inner Mongolia, after using Lovol mining, the monthly mining volume of a single equipment has increased significantly, and the fuel consumption cost has decreased.
"At the system level, Lovol Heavy Industries adheres to independent development, masters core technologies, maintains resource sharing within the group, and deeply integrates and matches the all-electronic hydraulic system and power system, and we are always the first choice of customers in terms of energy saving and handling." Chen Bo, deputy technical manager of Lovol Heavy Industry Mining Technology Center, said.
In the wave of electrification, Lovol mining truck has become a microcosm of technological evolution. The LT105E pure electric mining truck is equipped with a 520 kW four-motor system, the battery pack has four times the seismic resistance of the national standard, and adopts dual-branch charging technology, which improves the energy replenishment efficiency by 20%, and it only takes 40 minutes to charge from 20% to 80%. What's more, the safety of the vehicle has been comprehensively improved: equipped with triple brake protection, eddy current retarder, and high-strength frame structure, the failure rate is controlled below 2%, and the attendance rate is stable at 98%.
In the face of different working conditions, the adaptability of Lovol equipment is also constantly verified. In the alpine mining area of Inner Mongolia, the use of low-temperature resistant steel and fuel heating devices can be started smoothly even at minus 40°C; In the dusty environment of Africa, the battery pack adopts a high-standard sealing and protection design, with excellent dustproof and waterproof capabilities, so that the service life of the whole machine is 3 times that of traditional equipment.
From the transaction relationship to the community of destiny
Different from a single equipment supplier, Lovol Heavy Industries has built a full-link product matrix of "digging, loading and transportation", and supporting accessories and technical support services. In Inner Mongolia Hawusu, Xinjiang Montenegro, Wucaiwan, Yihua and other mining areas, Lovol's resident engineer team is stationed on site to provide rapid maintenance, fault diagnosis and spare parts supply, achieving a very high equipment attendance rate. Through the matching and optimization of hydraulic powertrain technology and the whole machine, Lovol not only creates value for customers in terms of equipment cost and energy utilization, but also provides tangible returns in terms of overall operation and maintenance cost and production efficiency.
In a 10-million-ton coal base in Xinjiang, the cooperation between Lovol Heavy Industries and customers in the mining area has gone beyond the traditional buying and selling relationship and upgraded to a model of a community with a shared future of "risk sharing and value creation". In 2022, in the face of the efficiency bottleneck of high-hardness coal seam mining in the mining area, Lovol Heavy Industries not only tailored the gold mining combination of "FR1000F Mining Excavator LT110 Mining Truck", but also provided service guarantee covering the whole life cycle of the equipment according to the working conditions - the resident engineer followed up the commissioning throughout the process, monitored the operation data in real time, and established an emergency response mechanism to maximize the efficiency of the equipment and create excellent value for customers. The customer admits: "Lovol's technical team is almost rooted in the mining area. This combination has nearly doubled the daily efficiency of our mine compared to conventional equipment, and it is this in-depth service support and excellent product strength that gives us the confidence to continue to increase orders. ”
From Made in China to Global Standards
Driven by both policy and market, the mining industry is accelerating its transition from "machinery replacing manpower" to "intelligence defining the future". Lovol's strategic layout has gone beyond the competition at the level of a single equipment, but is committed to reshaping the rules of the industry with "technology ecology" as the core. In the face of a clear trend of electrification transformation, Lovol has built a complete electrification product matrix, and simultaneously promoted a variety of cutting-edge technology routes, and the products have shown significant advantages in key performance.
What is more noteworthy is the far-reaching layout of Lovol's ecological strategy. By establishing an industrial community covering R&D, manufacturing and service, Lovol is redefining the value distribution mechanism of the industrial chain. This development path of "technology empowerment-ecological symbiosis-standard output" has made it an important driving force for the transformation of the global mining industry.
From following to running and then to leading, Lovol's strategic leap reflects the deep transformation of China's manufacturing. The global output of its technical standards not only broke the century-old technological monopoly of the West, but also established a Chinese discourse system in the field of new energy mining equipment. While the traditional giants are still fighting around the parameter competition, Lovol has jumped out of the trap of a single equipment competition and provided a Chinese-style answer for the mining industry with a three-dimensional offensive of technology service ecology.(This article is from the official website of Seetao www.seetao.com.
