Power Workshop Flexible cables for metal mines make steel giants "move"

Mining cable is one of the important equipment for mine production, and is the power supply aorta
connecting mobile devices such as mining machines and transport machines.
Mining operations are generally carried out underground, because the environment in the mine is relatively harsh, the cables used by mobile equipment need to go back and forth frequently in narrow roadways, and the conditions of use are more harsh, so higher requirements
are also put forward for cables.

According to the survey results, at present, China's large metal mines (including iron ore, copper mine, lead-zinc ore, etc.
) in the scraper special cable, most mining areas are replaced by coal mine rubber sheathed flexible cable, the cable is directly powered scraper or similar equipment power supply cable, the bending, wear resistance requirements are not high, resulting in short service life of the cable, according to statistics the general service life is 3~6 months
.

Aiming at the market demand, Far East Cable conducts research on the special use environment and performance requirements of this kind of cable, and independently develops TPU sheathed flexible cable
for metal mining.

Rooted in the market to grasp the pain points of products

In mining operations, compared with the traditional excavator and dump truck operation mode, in one operation cycle, the scraper can complete a series of workflows such as shoveling, transporting and unloading by itself, with strong functionality and high efficiency, and one machine can complete the workload of four or five machines in the traditional operation mode, with low cost, low energy consumption and less emissions, which is more suitable for the development trend
of low-carbon environmental protection of today's construction machinery.
With the development of the scraper market, the demand for scraper cables is increasing
every year.

The product has broad market prospects, but to develop a special cable must consider the limitations of
the use environment.
Due to the extremely harsh working environment of the scraper, its tail cable is frequently subjected to various mechanical stresses such as bending, stretching, dragging and other mechanical stresses at different angles with the scraper, resulting in the cable being prone to snake shape, broken core, and sheath wear and tear, resulting in short service life and high cost of use of the cable
.

Field research and special research and development

In view of the above problems, Far East Cable organized a professional engineer team to conduct in-depth research on such cables from the aspects of operating conditions, working environment, actual standards and specifications, on-site technical conditions, etc.
, and developed a flexible cable with high tensile strength, good wear resistance, and suitable for use in harsh environments - TPU sheathed flexible cable for metal mine, suitable for special cables for metal mine scrapers and some special occasions with harsh conditions, such as large-scale logistics company sites, waste power plants, waste incineration plants, marine grabs, cable collectors, etc
。

The product adopts 5 types of copper conductors, and the inner and outer sheaths use double-layer extrusion sheaths, which makes the cable more compact and meets its dragging, winding, torsion resistance, extrusion resistance and other properties; Select insulation materials and sheath materials with excellent performance, stable operation from -40 °C to 85 °C, meet the environmental conditions of most metal ores, and have excellent low temperature resistance, wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance; When forming the cable, it is coated with talcum powder to control the eccentricity of the sheath and further improve the flexibility and mechanical properties
of the cable.

Far East Cable has rich production experience and a full set of production equipment for TPU cables and reel cables, and has completed the supply trial of this cable, and our products have fully met the product performance requirements
from the perspective of the use of various customers.

Driven by scientific and technological innovation, Far East has continuously carried out technological innovation and launched new products with independent patent rights, and has achieved fruitful results
.
In the future, Far East will continue to focus on market demand, seize the technological highland, develop more high-quality products, and help "Chinese wisdom" shine in the world
