Feichun Cable Solutions

Specializing in durable mining cables for underground and surface mining operations in harsh environments.

Heavy mining machinery is situated in a rocky terrain with piles of earth and rock in the background. There are three large vehicles, including a dump truck, a large excavator, and another piece of mining equipment.

Mining Operations in South Africa :

South Africa's underground mines use a large number of mobile equipment such as automated drilling vehicles, loaders, and electric mining vehicles. These devices are in continuous operation, generating constant vibration and huge mechanical loads.This directly drives the demand for high-performance cables with strong mobility resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, and power cables with high voltage stability.
The underground working conditions are harsh, with dust, moisture, acid and alkali corrosion, and narrow space. The underground cable line is also longer, the temperature and humidity are higher, It is necessary to use oil-resistant, moisture-proof, flame-retardant, heat- resistance and tensile-resistant structures.

A series of mining carts line up in an underground cavern with rough, textured walls. The carts appear slightly weathered and are situated on icy or snowy ground. Some informational signs are attached to them.

Feichun Offers the Optimal Solution:

Feichun Cable has designed its mining cables to overcome these combined challenges.

Conductor: Its conductors are made of Class FS multi-stranded tinned copper, giving them exceptional flexibility to be pulled alongside moving machinery without breaking. The conductor's tin plating adds protection against corrosion in humid or acidic environments.
Insulation: Mining cables feature robust insulation materials. Each core features EPR rubber insulation that maintains dielectric properties even under mechanical stress.
Outer Jacket: Specially formulated polychloroprene (PROTOFIRM 5GM5) outer jacket. This PCP jacket offers remarkable resistance to abrasive wear, as well as to oils, chemicals, and moisture penetration.

High abrasion and wear resistance: thanks to special PCP rubber jackets (PROTOFIRM 5GM5), which are resistant to friction from uneven surfaces and the action of solid particles. This extends service life on skid roads or belts, where mineral abrasive could wear down ordinary covers.

Maximum flexibility for mobile equipment: The finely stranded conductor and flexible EPR layers allow the cable to be bent and pulled repeatedly without fatigue. They are designed for mining environments where cables are constantly reeled in and out (e.g., hauling vehicles or skidding cables).

Flame Resistance: Feichun mining cables comply with flame-resistant standards to enhance safety in case of fire incidents. Flame-retardant materials and designs are employed to minimize the spread of flames.

Robustness in extreme environments: The thick insulation and robust conductor construction provide exceptional durability. Feichun cables are designed to operate in "tight and hostile spaces" underground, withstanding vibrations and continuous mechanical stress. They also meet advanced safety standards: they are flame-retardant according to IEC60332-1-2 (self-extinguishing in the event of a fire).

Heavy Machinery

Providing Constant and Reliable Power to heavy machinery in both established and expanding mines. This includes equipment like continuous miners, shuttle cars, drills, and excavators that operate continuously.

Mobile Equipment

Supplying power to machinery that frequently moves, flexes, or is repositioned, such as in longwall mining, or to large mobile units in open-pit mines. This is where the superior flexibility and torsion resistance of specific SANS types are crucial.

Applications of Feichun Mining Cables

Fixed Installations

Powering stationary equipment within the mine, such as large pumps, ventilation systems, crushers, grinders, and processing plants.
