BAUMA PREVIEW
RR20 is designed to fit Epiroc bolting rigs . Other features include multiple return ports for lubrication oil recollection , providing more flexibility .
Epiroc has augmented its innovative solutions through the acquisition of YieldPoint , a designer and manufacturer of advanced digital geotechnical instruments , which include ground movement sensors and telemetry solutions . These are primarily used for underground mining , tunnelling and civil construction applications . More details on this integration will be shown at the event .
Epiroc Ground Support has solutions that include rockbolts , netting and cable bolting , to name a few . These solutions have been designed with the safety of underground miners and operations as the primary focus . The unification of the two brands is set to produce high-tech ground support solutions that will change the way safety in mining is perceived , Epiroc says . Visitors to the bauma stand will have a visual representation of how this union will work underground .
Aramine out to redefine underground mining
Aramine is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year , with its bauma 2025 presence set to highlight its
latest innovation , the L440B , a battery-powered loader set to redefine underground mining operations .
Several L440B units are already enroute to the first customers , marking a major milestone in the industry .
The L440B is , Aramine says , the only batterypowered loader that does not require fixed infrastructure for charging inside the mine . Instead , it features an integrated charger , allowing it to recharge anywhere , without the need for costly or complex installations .
The L440B is designed with slow-charging technology and an ultra-fast battery swap system , ensuring seamless integration into mining operations while avoiding infrastructure challenges , Aramine says . The “ Energy Module ” – a fully-integrated power unit – was developed to withstand underground conditions such as temperature extremes , impacts and corrosion .
With LFP battery technology , Aramine ensures safety and reliability while eliminating the risks of other chemistries .
Building on the success of the L140B , introduced in 2016 , the L440B underscores Aramine ’ s commitment to sustainable and practical innovation . With order books for 2025 and 2026 full , demand for this machine highlights the industry ’ s confidence in Aramine ’ s approach to battery technology , the company says .
To support its growth , Aramine is accelerating the development of its global distribution partnerships in 2025 . With 450 machines currently in operation and a double-digit annual growth rate , the company is strategically expanding its network to better serve its clients worldwide . The French company now has 80 distributors on five continents .
To keep up with the significant and exponential order growth in the coming years , Aramine is building a new factory in the south of France , not far from its two current locations , with the factory to be located on a former mining site .
Under its brand Smartparts ® , Aramine provides genuine spare parts and components for underground mining loaders , mining trucks , underground drill rigs and bolters . With an extensive catalogue of 1.5 million items , the company offers competitive pricing and fast global delivery , it says . To support this rapid expansion , Aramine is further enhancing its fully automated distribution centre by integrating additional Kardex storage systems at its main warehouse in southern France . This investment , it says , will optimise inventory management , ensuring even faster and more reliable service for customers worldwide .
