Turnkey Cable Range Covers All Mining Requirements
At Russian Coal and Mining 2011, Nexans will launch its comprehensive Powermine range of customised cable solutions, developed to ensure reliable and efficient operation for mining operations. Powermine cables are fully compliant with world standards, including UL, CSA and MSHA, and are claimed to cover every requirement for power, control and data transmission cables and accessories in underground and open cast mining scenarios. The Powermine range also comes with the extensive backup of Nexans' global service operation, including 24/7 repair and emergency service, training, environmental protection and the turnkey capability to outfit a mine with all its cable requirements.
Nexans developed its Powermine range to deliver optimum economic efficiency in mining applications. Key features of the range include its built-in safety, for handling short-circuits, fire, abrasion, impact and crush/breakage, and its breadth of designs suitable for use in long free-hanging installations, extended links and tough conditions. The Powermine range is also claimed to offer a high level of flexibility for the fast-moving mining environment, both underground and open cast. It comes with technical support for system engineering, fast delivery, installation and problem-solving, while Nexans' advanced testing facilities ensure durability and worldwide certification.
Additional services cover pre-terminated sets, harnessing, splicing, onsite-repairs and maintenance. The Powermine range for underground applications comprises: coal cutter cables that offer fire-resistance, durability and tensile strength; loader/scooper cables, which allow electrically powered trucks to travel long distances in galleries when conveyors are unavailable; shaft and gallery cables, designed for easy installation and superior fire-performance to protect personnel and equipment; and drilling and tunneling cables, which provide greater autonomy for boring machines.
For open-cast mines, the Powermine range offers a selection of cables developed to absorb impact from trucks and machinery to guarantee non-stop power and reliable control for conveyors, excavators, pontoon-mounted dredgers, electric shovels and draglines. For both underground and open-cast mines, Powermine cables are available that integrate optical fibre and copper elements for remote control, surveillance and monitoring, often using an active switch system to provide a Power over Ethernet (POE) supply for vital equipment. Nexans has also developed submersible cables, to handle groundwater drainage, and fluorescent/reflective cables, which increase the night visibility of exposed cables.
As a part of a complete, round-the-clock package, offered in many parts of the world, Nexans offers a 24/7 repair and emergency service, available via a dedicated hotline, to provide expert advice, technical support and even professional onsite intervention to avoid breakdowns and keep mines operating. Nexans also provides extensive product training, as well as environmental protection services from the retrieval of wooden delivery drums, to the replacement of materials, Life Cycle Assessment, energy management and cable retrieval-disposal-recycling.
The broad scope of the Powermine range combines with Nexans' extensive expertise in testing, design, engineering, project planning, installation, logistics, maintenance, repair and maintenance to provide a turnkey added-value capability to outfit a complete mine. Visitors to Russian Coal and Mining 2011 are invited to meet Nexans experts on Pavilion 1, booth B16, to find out more about the new Powermine cable range.
