Rising Demand for Electric Machinery in Underground Mining is Driving the Global Mining Equipment Market

The global mining equipment market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period. Rising demand for electric machinery in underground mining is one of the key factors accelerating market growth. In July 2020, Sandvik expects southern African mines to witness more interest in battery-powered, electric underground drill rigs owing to their environmental benefits and operating efficiency. The major advantages of the battery concept in underground drill rigs include much less heat and zero emissions, which makes it suitable for healthier and safer working conditions.

Several other benefits of this technology comprise augmented drilling productivity, better energy efficiency, and decreased operating costs. Sandvik has been witnessing the popularity of its DD422iE rig in southern Africa, which has been in development for 3 years across countries having strict anti-pollution regulations including Canada. The DD422iE utilizes an electric driveline along with an electric motor that is mechanically connected to axles. The power system of the rig draws from its batteries at the time of peak loads to produce a 20% rise in drilling power. However, no waiting time is required for batteries since they are charged during drilling cycle phases when there is a low power intake.

Recent Strategic Initiatives in the Global Mining Equipment Market

• In December 2020, Doosan Infracore North America increased its excavator series with its largest model yet. This named Doosan DX800LC-7 excavator augments the footprint of the company in the aggregate mining industry. The excavator size of the crawler makes it suitable for pit and quarry customers. In addition, it is also suitable as a large machine for heavy infrastructure and construction activities. It can efficiently load large amounts of material and eliminate overburden into trucks at quarries.
• In February 2020, FLSmidth received an order from Slavkaliy for delivering equipment to a new potassium mining and processing facility in Belarus. The company will deliver liquid-solid separation equipment islands to Slavkaliy for a new facility in the Nezhinsky area of the Starobinskoye potassium salt deposits in Belarus. The liquid-solid separation equipment islands comprise a significant number of thickener and clarifier, pan- and horizontal belt filter packages.
