ABB wins $11 million mine hoist order from Xstrata Copper in Australia
ABB贏得澳大利亞Xstrata Copper1100萬美元礦井提升機項目訂單
Zurich, Switzerland, September 14, 2011 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, recently won an $11 million order to supply a complete ore hoisting solution for Xstrata Copper’s Ernest Henry Mining (EHM) copper-gold operation in north-west Queensland, Australia. The tower-mounted hoist will transport ore for EHM’s new underground mine and play a key role in securing the long-term future of the operation by extending its life of mine by 12 years. The order was booked in the first quarter of 2011.
瑞士蘇黎世9月14日消息——全球領先的電力和自動化集團ABB最近贏得一份價值1100萬美元訂單，為Xstrata Copper公司位于澳大利亞昆士蘭西北部的Ernest Henry黃金銅礦(EHM)提供一套完整的礦井提升機系統。塔式提升機將運輸EHM新的地下礦礦石,為確保該礦山長期的安全運行發揮關鍵作用,并能延長該礦山的運行壽命12年。該訂單在2011年第一季度簽訂。
“ABB was selected for this project because of our unique position as a sole-supplier of complete mine hoist systems, and mining industry expertise, to provide a complete solution that will help this operation develop, thrive and profit well into the future,” said Axel Kuhr, country manager for ABB in Australia. “ABB has delivered more than 600 new mine hoist systems worldwide; our design represents the industry benchmark for mine hoist safety, energy efficiency and cost effectiveness.”
ABB澳大利亞國家經理Axel Kuhr表示：“ABB之所以被選中是因為我們是唯一能提供全套礦井提升系統的供應商以及我們在采礦業領域的專業知識,提供一個完整的解決方案將幫助這座礦山未來運行得更好，利潤更高。ABB在全球范圍內已經提供超過600套全新的礦井提升機系統；我們所設計的礦井提升機在安生性,節能增效和成本效益方面已經成為行業標桿。”
ABB will design, supply and commission all the electrical and mechanical equipment for a new vertical tower mounted mine ore hoist system. The hoist will run at a speed of 16 meters per second, allowing it to raise 1,020 tons of ore per hour from a depth of 950 meters to the surface. The hoist will be driven by a 5,000 kilowatt (kW) synchronous motor powered by ABB’s state-of-the-art ACS 6000 drive system to control torque and speed for energy efficient ore haulage. ABB’s system design also provides additional reactive power during operation, to minimize the new hoist’s impact on the surrounding power network.
ABB將為新的塔式礦井提升機系統設計、供貨以及調試所有的電氣及機械產品設備。提升機將以每秒16米的運行速度,每小時從地下950米的礦井中提升1020噸的礦石。提升機由ABB公司最先進的ACS600驅動系統提供5000千瓦同步電動機來驅動，控制轉矩和速度以提高礦石運輸的效率。ABB的系統設計在運行過程中還提供了額外的無功功率以盡量減少新的提升機對周邊電網的影響。
ABB’s design and supply responsibilities include the bottom dump ore skips with inspection platforms, the rope deflection sheaves and a skip dumping system. The fully integrated automated hoisting system will be controlled by ABB’s System 800xA AC800M industrial controller; it will manage and control the entire mine hoisting system from the loading conveyors to the surface ore dump station.
ABB設計和供貨職責包括箕斗和井底檢測平臺、導向輪和箕斗卸載系統。全集成的自動化提升系統將由ABB的系統800xA AC800工業控制系統控制,它將管理和控制整個礦井提升系統從裝載到輸送到地表礦轉儲存站的全過程。
ABB’s proven maintenance and lifecycle support services were also important to the contract evaluation, as the reliable performance of the hoist is critical to the safety and financial success of the mining operation. Hoists are among the most significant pieces of equipment at an underground mine, and must operate with the highest level of reliability and safety, as any potential failure of the hoist can lead to catastrophic results.
ABB成熟的維護和生命周期支持服務對合同評審也非常重要,因為性能可靠的提升機對采礦運行的安全性和保證經濟利益起著至關重要的作用。提升機是地下礦井最重要的設備,它必須保證最高的可靠性和安全性,任何潛在的故障都將導致災難性的后果。
Delivery is scheduled to be completed in the second half of 2012.
訂單預計將在2012下半年完成交付。
