MINING SOLUTIONS

mtu diesel engines are the standard in mining equipment at many opencast and underground mining operations around the globe.

mtu mining engines have a long history of proving themselves under extreme conditions. Day in and day out, they reliably power mining equipment such as blast hole drilling rigs, excavators and wheel loaders; mining vehicles such as haul trucks and other mining equipment—with diesel-mechanic, diesel-electric or diesel-hydraulic powertrains. mtu engines provide the highest performance, reliability and availability. In addition, long service intervals, maintenance-friendly design and an efficient use of fuel provide for exceptionally low operating costs.

Our diesel engines need to function 24/7 without fault. That is why we constantly test our engines in extreme temperatures and in the dust to guarantee reliable and profitable operation. Advanced combustion technology makes our engines more cost-efficient to operate, cleaner and quieter than most others. These benefits make a difference environmentally and economically.

The world’s largest iron ore mine stays productive with Series 4000 engines

4 January 2018

It’s a major challenge to keep up with the enormous, ever-growing workload at the Carajas Mine Complex. Owned by Vale, a large Brazilian mining company, Carajas is the world’s largest iron ore mine. Demands for productivity are constantly on the rise. Across its gigantic complex of open pits, Carajas Mine resembles a small city, bustling with non-stop activity. But there is efficiency and order to the chaos. While excavators, haul trucks and wheel loaders do the heavy lifting, conveyor belts whisk the material to processing units. Then, the ore is transported 554 miles by train to the port of Sao Luis. More than half of what Vale produces is loaded on cargo ships headed to China.
