Siemens receives 40 million euros electrical equipment orders in Zambia 

西門子在讚比亞獲得4千萬歐元電氣設備訂單

Erlangen, Mar 26, 2007 -- The Siemens Industrial Solutions and Services Group (I&S) has received orders from Equinox Minerals Limited, Canada, for the supply of electrical equipment and systems for Open-Cast mine haulage trucks, Grinding Mills and “In-Pit” electrical reticulation, required for the development of its new Lumwana Copper Mine in Zambia. The order volume amounts to around 40 million euros and the new mine is scheduled to start operating in the middle of 2008.

Erlangen3月26日消息——西門子工業解決方案與服務集團(I&S)從加拿大Equinox礦石有限公司手上獲得一份訂單，為後者位於讚比亞的Lumwana新銅礦廠提供開發所需要的電力設備以及用於露天挖掘礦山運輸車


、磨碎機和“礦井內”電力網的係統。訂單量總計大約為4千萬歐元，新礦廠預計在2008年中開始投入運營。 

The Lumwana mine, which is located in the North Western Province of the Republic, will be the single largest copper mine on the African continent. Equinox plans to extract in excess of 400 million metric tons of ore during the first 20 years of operation producing an average of 169,000 tons of copper metal per year contained in concentrates for the first 6 years of its 37 year mine life. The mine also has resources containing significant quantities of Gold, Cobalt and Uranium which may also be extracted in the near future.

位於讚比亞共和國西北省的Lumwana銅礦廠將成為非洲大陸上單個最大的銅礦廠。Equinox計劃在投入運營的前20年內提取超過4億公噸的礦石
，在37年礦山開采年限的前6年，平均每年生產礦石中含有的銅金屬16萬9千噸。該礦廠還含有豐富的金、鈷和鈾資源
，在不久的將來也有可能提煉出來。

For transportation of the ore from pit to crushing stations, Siemens will supply the equipment required for the electrification for 27 haul trucks along with the associated in-pit trolley assist system. All trucks will be equipped with the latest AC drive technology. In contrast to conventional DC systems, the AC wheel motors remove the requirement for both commutators and brushes. This significantly reduces the maintenance and repair costs, while increasing the availability of the units. Moreover, the drive technology employed will ensure greater safety and less wear on mechanical brakes due to the availability of an electrical retarder braking system. The trolley assist system to be installed along the main ramp haulage routes allows for the trucks to draw the electricity required for the AC wheel motors in much the same way as conventional railway systems. Additional benefits derived from this system are high starting torques, and increased speeds whilst on the gradient exiting the pit, the higher speeds result in increased cycle times whilst operation on trolley realizes huge savings in diesel fuel costs.

For continuous monitoring of all mining operations, a comprehensive communication system will be supplied. The main component of the communications system is a fail safe fiber optic backbone known as an OTN (Open Transport Network). The fiber optic network will be utilized for the conveyance of all data and communication mediums associated with the mines operations, additionally, the transmission and provision of high-quality video signals (CVBS or S Video) will enable real-time viewing of all mine operations and critical plant equipment such as crushers, over-land conveyors, pumps, mine fleet etc. The entire mining operation can thus be monitored and controlled remotely via monitors in the communications center.

、陸上傳送帶、泵、采礦吊索等等。因而通過通信中心的顯示器可以遠程監視和控製整個采礦作業。

With the help of the "eWD" electronic documentation system, a comprehensive suite of documentation and information pertinent to the specific mill installation is generated during the commissioning phase. This ensures that all the relevant information is available online to facilitate maintenance and optimization of the mills.
