include the huge Zhungeer coal mining complex
(WK-20s and others) of Shenhua Group as well as
Jiangxi Copper (WK-35s and others) and the
mentioned WK-75 customer Datang.
Given the size of these shovels, they are always
fully assembled in the factory then diassembled
for shipment. This is by road in China, by rail to
Russia, and by ship from Tianjin to Africa and
South America.
Crushing stations, bucketwheels and
spreaders
Also relevant to mining is TYHI’s business
covering semi and fully mobile crushing stations,
and waste spreaders where for the crushing
stations it offers the option of TZ (up to largest
TZ1530-2800 model) or Metso for the gyratory
crusher and TZ or FLSmidth ABON sizers as part of
the overall systems, but TYHI does everything
else. The largest semi-mobile stations (which it
calls Semi-Mobile Gyratory Crusher Station or
SMCS) to date, were two 10,000 t/h systems for
iron ore miner TISCO (Yuanjiacun mine), each with
a 60-110E Metso gyratory. There is another semi-
mobile system at Ansteel and another at
Panzhihua Steel (60-89 gyratory). Four semi-
mobile stations are also set for delivery to Julong
Copper with 60-110E Metso gyratory crushers.
In terms of fully mobile systems, the company
told IM that it has designed one for a new coal
mining customer in China that is ordering three
crushing stations from TYHI and three from
thyssenkrupp but did not name the project. The
company offers options from 3,000 t/h to 9,000

TZ Coal Machine
TZ Coal Machine Co Ltd (THMGCM) is a JV
company between seven different coal mining
enterprises and TYHI. It has an annual
production capacity of 200 sets of longwall
shearers, 100 sets of roadheaders (including
EBZ135 model) and 2,000 sets of hydraulic
roof supports as well as offering coal
conveyors, bridge stage loaders, hoists,
washing equipment ancillary haulage
equipment, in-seam directional drills,
hydraulic and electric systems. Shearers
include 2,500 and 3,000 kW models. In
particular the MG1150/3000-WD Electrical
Haulage Shearer is described as the largest
shearer in cutting power designed in China,
having 3,010 kW installed power and 4,500
t/h in production capability.
these models are offered either with an ABON
sizer or TYHI’s own TZ double roll crusher up to its
TZ1600 model, which weighs 190 t and is quoted
as having a 9,000-12,000 t/h capacity.
In bucketwheel excavators deliveries include a
3,100 m 3 /h installation at Zhungeer. With regard
to spreaders, TISCO has a 9,000 t/h system and
Baosteel a 4,500 t/h system. There are two types
of spreaders, the upper boom and lower boom,
with the spreader normally operating along with a
tripper car. TYHI can supply solutions from 2,000
t/h to 18,000 t/h (60 m boom).
Finally for moving and setting of this type of
equipment TYHI builds transport crawlers from
350 t to 1,200 t carrying weight.
Not standing still – design and R&D
TYHI has not been resting on old designs with
continual updates to technology applied to its
range. Recently, these have involved the latest in
machine intelligence technology with a focus on
productivity and safety. For example, its WK-
Series rope shovels now have a system to monitor
blind spots using radar and cameras, which is
offered as an option to customers. All of the WK
