Epiroc has won a large order from Glencore to supply battery electric and automation equipment to the Onaping Depth nickel and copper project in Ontario, Canada, that is set to begin production in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While financial details were not released by the OEM, it did confirm that it defines a larger order as one that exceeds SEK 100 million. The ordered battery-electric equipment includes 23 machines: Scooptram loaders; Minetruck haulers including the Minetruck MT42 Battery; Boomer face drilling rigs; Boltec and Cabletec rock reinforcement rigs; and Simba production drilling rigs.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n

The Simba rigs will be operated in part through tele-remote from the comfort of a control room, and all units will be equipped with Epiroc\u2019s Rig Control System, making them ready for automation and remote control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fleet will be installed with Epiroc’s telematics system for intelligent monitoring of machine performance and productivity in real-time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onaping, located below the existing Craig mine, is expected to be one of the world\u2019s first all-electric mines. It is in development now, and is planning capabilities for advanced automation solutions, including remote control, from Epiroc.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEpiroc scored high on safety, design and testing of the entire battery system,\u201d says Peter Xavier, vice president of Glencore\u2019s Sudbury Integrated Nickel Operations. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEpiroc also offers large capacity batteries, uses a standard CCS charging protocol, has a battery swap system, and the designs are universal and compatible. Also, the batteries have integrated cooling systems and safety systems built into the design.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
