There is a giant factory 13km (8miles) from my hometown in central slovakia. My neighbours work there. 40 years ago they used to produce parts for tanks and other military machines. Today they told me they produce parts for giant mining machines. Those machines are being used in various countries but mostly in brazil somewhere. Thats what they told me. They make parts, export them to brazil where they are completed and used in the mining camps
Monsters all! Many people don't realize the explosion proof components for mining equipment...Besides them being squat they have all kinds of special sensors, emergency equipment, built in...All the U.S built stuff is done by Joy Mining Equipment...Komatsu was smart buying them...
In this industry, everything is a little bit bigger. The vehicles, the conveyors and the engines. We can say that because we are repeatedly asked about our mega large electric motors that we manufacture for this industry.
That machine use at mine industry because some people they don't know how it looks like so I'm happy to show so the people can know how does mine industry works with those machine it good video
Use less coal people, join the rest of the world in 21st century. Not that big of a technical achievement to build machines to mine 18th and 19th century energy source.
