Polish mining machinery, equipment and technology<\/p>\n
Poland is rich in mineral resources and ranks with the leading
\nworld producers and exporters of coal, sulfur, copper and silver.<\/p>\n
Other resources include substantial deposits of zinc, lead,
\nnatural gas, salt and other minerals. Exploitation of coal
\ndeposits is the main source of the country's energy supply and an
\nimportant source of foreign-exchange income.<\/p>\n
In Europe, Poland is the leading producer and exporter of hard
\ncoal and also an important producer of brown coal (lignite).
\nPolish coal, though of high quality, has various geological
\nfeatures that make it extremely difficult to mine. Hard coal
\n(mostly bituminous) provides about 65 percent of electricity
\ngeneration, with brown coal (lignite) providing nearly all of the
\nrest of the fuel consumed in Poland's power plants (many of which
\nprovide heat and hot water as well as electricity).<\/p>\n
Poland is also one of the major producers of copper. The
\nentire excavation of copper ore in the country concentrates in
\none region in the western part of Poland, where five deep mines
\nare located. All the mines are using the room-and-pillar mining
\nsystem. In the year 2004 the mines excavated almost 32 million
\ntons of copper ore, which was then turned into 600 thousand tons
\nof refined copper. Half of this tonnage was exported.<\/p>\n
The mineral resources described above set the basis for the
\nintensive development of an industry producing mining machines
\nand equipment, for searching, access, exploration and enrichment
\nof different minerals.<\/p>\n
This strong sector of mining machinery, technology and
\nequipment offers a wide range of efficient high quality
\nunderground and open-pit solutions.<\/p>\n
Based on over 50 years of experience in planning, designing
\nand the production of various machinery and equipment, Polish
\nproducers can meet every requirement for a range of mining and
\ngeological conditions. Their production processes are in
\nconformity with International Quality Standards, which are under
\nconstant supervision by an internal audit system.<\/p>\n
In terms of quality and efficiency Polish products can easily
\ncompete on international markets enjoying the advantage of
\ncompetitive prices, prompt delivery times and efficient
\nafter-sales service. Among foreign customers using Polish
\nproducts there are various companies from China, India, Germany,
\nCanada, United States and the former Soviet Union.<\/p>\n
The services of Polish producers include all the necessary
\nactivities starting from mapping, minerals' reserve estimation,
\ngeological reports, through to the planning of surface and
\nunderground mining, machinery construction and up to civil
\nengineering.<\/p>\n
Mining machinery<\/p>\n
In the field of underground mining Polish companies are
\nspecialized in deliveries of the following equipment:<\/p>\n
Mechanized roof supports -- equipped with modern control and
\nsteering systems covering the height range from 0.6 up to 4.7
\nmeters.<\/p>\n
Coal shearers -- haulage drive: hydraulic or electrical,
\ncutting height from 1.1 to 4.7 meters, total installed power up
\nto 1,200 kW, armored face conveyors - length up to 450 meters,
\nmax. capacity up to 1,750 t\/h, power of driving
\nunits up to 3x750 kW.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the Polish mining machinery industry produces
\nall other equipment necessary for underground mines: different
\ntypes of conveyors, power packs for roof supports, transformers,
\nmining switches, which together create complete systems for coal
\nexploitation.<\/p>\n
It also produces various kind of equipment for controlling
\nsafety conditions underground, as well as protection equipment
\nfor individual miners such as oxygen breathing apparatus, masks,
\ngas filters and individual methane detectors. The introduction of
\nthis equipment and constant control of work safety have resulted
\nin increased safety in Polish mines.<\/p>\n
Exports to Indonesia<\/p>\n
Poland offers various kinds of mining equipment to Indonesian
\nmining companies including;<\/p>\n
* Complete deliveries of longwall systems for underground
\nmines (more than 500 hundred longwall systems were delivered to
\ncustomers around the world, including PT. Bukit Asam mine in
\nIndonesia).<\/p>\n
* Turn key projects -- design and deliveries of machinery and
\nequipment; construction and maintaining of underground mines
\nunder weak and waterlogged sediments,<\/p>\n
* Underground excavations of any size and appropriation,<\/p>\n
* Drifting underground headings and chambers for mines and
\nother works operating in such an environment.<\/p>\n
* Drifting of opening-out and primary excavations protected by
\nvarious types of supports.<\/p>\n
* Completion of accompanying bulky chambers: shaft stations,
\nworkshop chambers, pumping stations and settling pond chambers,
\nskip filling pockets, underground store chambers, tanks, etc.<\/p>\n
* Replacement of supports; changes in size, equipment,
\nappropriation or geometry of any underground excavations.<\/p>\n
* Professional supervision and maintenance of the underground
\nmining exploration.<\/p>\n
In the open-pit mining, providing mainly lignite, completely
\ndifferent technology and machinery is applied. Poland has also a
\nlong tradition in the manufacturing of different types of bucket-
\nwheel excavators, stackers, stacker-reclaimers, belt conveyors
\nand other machines in construction of complete systems for
\nproduction, transportation and storage of lignite and various
\nmaterials. Furthermore Polish factories construct a variety of
\ncranes and wagon tipplers for stockyards of coal or ports.<\/p>\n
Polish export offers for Indonesian open-pit mining include
\ndeliveries of the following machinery and systems: Bucket wheel
\nexcavators, spreaders, stacker-cum-reclaimers, scraper and portal
\nreclaimers, conveyors and conveyor belts, coal-handling systems
\nbased on the aforementioned equipment for stockpiles, power
\nplants, mines and loading terminals.<\/p>\n
Poland is also a major producer of a wide range of logistics
\nequipment including crawler and wheel tractors, loaders, haulage
\ntrucks, crushers and auxiliary trucks. Polish crawler tractors
\nare built with the power and control to give the user optimum
\nperformance.<\/p>\n
The reason for their excellent up-time record is their strong
\nmodular power train system, two-speed steering and a wide range
\nof blade and ripper attachments. The unique three-point
\nsuspension protects the power train and transmits shock loads
\ndirectly back to the ground. Most Polish crawler dozers are of
\nfully modular construction with rigid one-piece frame to which
\nall power components are attached. The modular design
\nincorporates conventional components, but arranges them in a way
\nthat makes removal and replacement fast and relatively easy,
\nsharply reducing machine downtime for customer profitability.<\/p>\n
Wheel loaders<\/p>\n
Articulated wheeled loaders offered by Polish producers are
\ndesigned for loading and transporting mine runs from mining faces
\nin underground mines of metal ores and mineral raw materials.<\/p>\n
They can be used as an autonomic haulage systems in mines or
\ncan co-operate with other transport machines, e.g. haulage
\ntrucks. They offer modern, unique technical solutions on a
\nworldwide scale, ensure failure-free operation and a high level
\nof safety for both the servicing personnel and the environment.
\nThe wide range of offered loaders enables them to be applied in
\nmines with various operating conditions.<\/p>\n
Haulage trucks<\/p>\n
Haulage trucks offered by Polish companies are designed for
\ntransport of winning in methane-free ore mines and those where
\nthe risk of methane explosion is minimal. In some haulage trucks
\nproduced by Polish companies, a special drawer-type unloading
\nsystem is applied, where the transported winning is pushed out by
\na moving wall in the open load-carrying body.
\n It guarantees complete unloading as even small amounts of
\nwinning are discharged and the body is eventually completely
\nempty.<\/p>\n
Drilling trucks<\/p>\n
Self-propelled drilling trucks - designed for drilling blast-
\nholes in methane-free environments in the mine headings of metal
\nore mines. The operating system consists of a jib mounted on the
\ndrilling frame platform with a telescopic slide-out drill support
\nfor long hole drilling and a hydraulically-driven hammer drill.<\/p>\n
Self-propelled bolting trucks are designed for fitting of
\ninserted and expanding anchors in methane-free mining headings of
\nmetal ore and mineral mines.<\/p>\n
Polish companies also produce the following crushing sets:
\ncrushing sets with jaw crushers, jaw crushers for preliminary
\ncrushing, crushing sets with impact crushers, container crushers,
\ncompact impact crushers, stationary jaw crushers.<\/p>\n
Polish mining industry manufactures both for domestic
\ncustomers and foreign investors. A substantial part of the
\nproduction goes for export to many countries all over the world.<\/p>\n
Polish industry exports not only individual machines, but also
\nwhole systems and complete structures like coal handling systems
\nfor automatic rail-car discharge supplied to the Chvaletice power
\nplant in the Czech Republic and delivery of the complete longwall
\nsystem for the Tabas mine in Iran. Polish companies design,
\nconstruct and finally supply all machinery for complete plants
\nlike the coal washing plant constructed at Qian Jia Ying coal
\nmine in China.<\/p>\n
Another Polish export speciality is the drilling of mining
\nheadings, horizontal as well as vertical, and installation of all
\nnecessary equipment. As an example, the present construction
\nworks at the Cayeli zinc mine in Turkey can be mentioned.<\/p>\n
For more than 40 years Polish companies have provided a wide
\nrange of machinery, equipment and contracting services to China,
\nIndia, Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Peru, Venezuela, Argentina, Nigeria,
\nGermany, Italy, France, Russia, United States of America and
\nIndonesia.<\/p>\n
From 1962 to 1965, Polish company KOPEX was involved in the
\ndevelopment of state-owned PT Tambang Batubara Bukit Asam,
\ncovering the following activities: Feasibility studies, technical
\ndesign execution of turn-key mining project, development and
\nreconstruction of Ombilin underground mine, development and
\nconstruction of Tanah Chitan open-cast mines in PT Tambang Batu
\nBara Bukit Asam's coal industrial complex and their
\ninfrastructure, conveyor system for overloading in Padang port,
\nstore bunkers, delivery of mining machinery and equipment and
\nelectrical parts of the project such as electric traction and
\nelectric locomotives.<\/p>\n
For more than 40 following years Indonesian - Polish bilateral
\nrelations in the field of mining and logistics cooperation have
\npractically ceased. Rare business contacts took place during the
\n1990s but were later stopped following the Asian crisis. The
\nbusiness contacts started again with greater intensity at the end
\nof the year 2002, when a Polish trade mission from the mining
\nsector paid a visit to Indonesia.<\/p>\n
At the moment Polish mining machinery, equipment and
\ntechnology are slowly coming back to Indonesia. A wide range of
\ntractors and loaders are being delivered to various operators in
\nIndonesia.<\/p>\n
Polish made conveyor belts and belt conveyors are used in
\nIndonesian mines and cement factories. Polish mining rescue
\nequipment is also being used in Indonesian underground mines.<\/p>\n
In order to explore new areas of bilateral trade and to
\nstrengthen economic cooperation between Poland and Indonesia in
\nthe field of mining, Polish companies have demonstrated flawless
\nexecution of contracts and will in the future continue their
\nexcellent after-sales service, dedication to full training of
\nIndonesian personnel, reliable spare-parts delivery and continued
\nassistance to end-users.<\/p>\n
Industrial cooperation will strengthen, forming ties that will
\nlast for many years to come.<\/p>",
