The Indonesia Jinchuan PT. Wanatiara Persada has made a significant breakthrough in the excavator oil-to-electricity conversion project—successfully transforming the TZ210 fuel hydraulic excavators into trailing electric ones and putting them into operation.
The new energy excavators in use
The company's nickel-iron smelting project in Indonesia is surrounded by the sea on all sides, making energy transportation inconvenient and costly, with high fuel consumption and maintenance costs for traditional fuel excavators. At the same time, the capacity of the company's self-owned power plant has not been fully utilized. In response, the company established a project team to focus on transitioning from fuel excavators to electric ones, utilizing abandoned excavators for technical breakthroughs and opening up a new path in the field of oil-to-electricity conversion.
The new energy excavators in use
After research and testing by engineering technicians and on-site technicians for three months, the first oil-to-electric excavator of the Indonesia Jinchuan PT. Wanatiara Persada was officially put into use. The converted trailing electric excavator features merits of new energy vehicles, with low failure rates, simple maintenance and cost savings. In addition, the design of the trailing excavator allows it to be directly connected to an external power source, enabling uninterrupted loading operations around the clock and improving production efficiency. This transformation not only tests the technical innovation capabilities of the company but also serves as another successful practice in upgrading management and achieving efficiency through innovation.
