Feichun: Premier Manufacturer and Supplier of High-performance Mining Cables

At Feichun, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality mining cables that endure the toughest conditions in both underground and surface mining operations, ensuring reliability and safety for our clients.These cables play a crucial role in providing power, communication, and control for various equipment used in mining, including drills, loaders, conveyors, and other machinery.

Our mining cables are manufactured in strict accordance with SANS 1520-1 and Global Certifications.This ensures that every cable not only integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure but also meets the essential safety, performance, and environmental criteria mandated by South African regulations. Our deep understanding of these standards guarantees that our cables are perfectly suited for the diverse and challenging conditions found across the region's mines.

Unwavering Adherence to South African National Standards（SANS）

• SANS Type 41 Flexible Trailing Cable (640/1100 V): These are general-purpose flexible cables suitable for a wide array of mining machinery and installations that require lower voltage.
  

• SANS Type 61 A Copper Screened Cable（640/1100 V): These are designed for use in various mining environments and heavy-duty applications.

• SANS Type 61 B Copper Screened Cable(640/1100V): These are designed for electrically driven machines and movable electric apparatus

• SANS Type 63 Reinforced Medium Voltage Cable (1.9/3.3 KV): These are medium voltage cables designed for increased power delivery to larger equipment.

• SANS Type 66 Reinforced Medium Voltage Cable and 66ECC (3.8/6.6 KV): These are high-performance cables used for significant power distribution, often in heavy-duty applications. The "ECC" variant includes an Earth Continuity Conductor for enhanced safety.

• SANS Type 611 and 611ECC Medium Voltage Cable for Open-Cast Mining (6.35/11 KV): Robust cables engineered for critical power transmission and distribution networks.

• SANS Type 622 and 622 ECC High Voltage Mining Cable (12.7/22 KV): These are high-voltage solutions, ideal for powering very large machinery and extensive mining sites.

• SANS Type 633 and 633 ECC High Voltage Mining Cable (19/33 KV): These represent the highest voltage offerings, designed for the most demanding power requirements in deep or large-scale mines.

Feichun Cables are specifically designed to meet SANS 1520-1 and cater to various operational requirements and voltage needs within the mining industry

We offer a wide variety of cable types including：

Providing Constant and Reliable Power

Supplying 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 and Dynamic 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.

Lighting and Auxiliary Systems

Providing power to essential lighting, communication systems, and other smaller, fixed electrical devices throughout the mine.

Feichun Cable Solutions

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

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.

Feichun Cable Solutions for Mining Environments :

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).

The mining cables exceeded our expectations, withstanding harsh conditions while providing exceptional performance and durability.
