Introduction to PROTOLON SB-SAM Screen Flexible Trailing Cable
In the demanding world of mining, where equipment operates under extreme mechanical stresses, reliable power supply solutions are critical. The PROTOLON SB-SAM Screen Flexible Trailing Cable with Copper Core Shield stands out as a robust and innovative solution designed to meet the rigorous needs of large material handling machines, such as excavators in open-cast mines. Manufactured to high standards, this cable is engineered to withstand abrasion, chaffing, and torsional stresses, making it an ideal choice for trailing operations in harsh environments like those found in South Africa’s mining sector.
Benefits of PROTOLON SB-SAM Cable
Durability Under Extreme Conditions: The chloroprene rubber sheath and tear-resistant reinforcement make the cable highly resistant to abrasion, chaffing, and mechanical stresses, ideal for the rugged environments of open-cast mines.
Enhanced Safety: The copper core shield and pilot conductor enable earth continuity monitoring, reducing the risk of electrical faults and enhancing personnel safety.
Flexibility and Versatility: With a wide range of rated voltages and robust mechanical properties, the cable supports diverse mining applications, from excavators to mobile crushers.
Weather Resistance: Its ability to withstand UV, ozone, and moisture ensures reliable performance in South Africa’s varied climates, from arid regions to coastal areas.
Ease of Installation: The cable supports self-assembly or factory termination, offering flexibility for mining operations with varying installation needs.
Applications in South African Mining
South Africa’s mining industry, a cornerstone of the economy, relies heavily on robust electrical infrastructure to power large-scale operations. The PROTOLON SB-SAM cable is particularly suited for open-cast mining, where excavators, draglines, and mobile crushers operate under extreme mechanical stresses. Its ability to handle high tensile loads and torsional stresses makes it ideal for trailing operations, where cables are frequently moved and subjected to dynamic forces.
In underground mining, the cable’s fire and oil resistance, combined with its electrical field control features, ensure safe and reliable power delivery to equipment like coal shearers and tunnel boring machines. The pilot conductor supports earth continuity monitoring, a critical safety feature in confined underground environments where electrical faults can have severe consequences.
Case : Gold Mining in the Witwatersrand Basin
In a recent project at a major gold mine in South Africa’s Witwatersrand Basin, the PROTOLON SB-SAM cable was deployed to power a fleet of high-capacity excavators. The mine, known for its challenging geological conditions and abrasive rock formations, required a trailing cable capable of withstanding constant movement and exposure to dust and moisture. The cable’s chloroprene rubber sheath and copper core shield ensured uninterrupted power supply, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Over a 12-month period, the mine reported a 15% reduction in cable-related failures compared to previous solutions, highlighting the cable’s durability and reliability.
This case aligns with South Africa’s push for operational efficiency in gold mining, where rising energy costs and aging infrastructure are pressing concerns. The PROTOLON SB-SAM’s ability to operate at high voltages (up to 18/30 kV) allowed the mine to optimize power distribution, supporting larger equipment and reducing energy losses.
The PROTOLON SB-SAM Screen Flexible Trailing Cable with Copper Core Shield is a cornerstone of modern mining operations, offering unmatched durability, safety, and flexibility. Its advanced design, featuring electrolytic copper conductors, EPR insulation, and a robust chloroprene rubber sheath, ensures reliable performance in the harshest conditions. In South Africa, where mining is both an economic driver and a sector facing sustainability and safety challenges, this cable is proving its worth in applications ranging from gold mines in the Witwatersrand Basin to potential renewable energy integrations in the Bushveld Complex.
