Installation Start of SIEMAG TECBERG hoisting technology at the Sishanling iron ore mine in Benxi, China.

In early 2017 Tianjin SIEMAG TECBERG Machinery Co., Ltd., the subsidiary of SIEMAG TECBERG GmbH and Benxi Longxin Mining Co., Ltd. , a company forming part of the Jianlong Group China, signed a supply agreement for three sets of hoisting & conveying systems to be divided between two shafts in the Sishanling iron ore mine near the city of Benxi in the Province of Liaoning in China.

The Sishanling iron ore mine has 2.5 billion tonnes of proven iron ore reserves with an average iron content of about 31 %. Because of the concentrated ore body and its even distribution these reserves are suitable for extraction on a large scale. They are the largest proven and registered iron ore deposits in China, having a long-term planned extraction capacity of 30 million tonnes a year. Initially 15 million tonnes will be achieved a year in the next five years.

The current agreement requires SIEMAG TECBERG to undertake the engineering, production, delivery and supervision of the installation and initial start-up of the following equipment:

Shaft hoisting systems for raw material extraction (production shaft)
System 1. Double-skip hoisting system. Tower-based 6-rope Koepe hoisting machine.

Shaft hoisting systems for personnel and equipment (service shaft)
System 2. Large-cage hoisting system. Ground-based 6-rope Koepe hoisting machine.
System 3. Cage hoisting system. Ground-based 4-rope Koepe hoisting machine.

The special feature of the three hoisting systems is the central control system. The control room is located in the hall of the hoisting machine of the service shaft. In normal operation the hoisting systems in the production and service shaft are all in automatic lifting operation. Furthermore, the two systems in the service shaft are fitted with wireless communication devices that enable the hoisting equipment to be controlled from the cage direct.

Early in 2022 SIEMAG TECBERG started on the installation of the equipment on site in Benxi.
