On the path of pursuing efficiency and reliability, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xiaosong from a mine in Urumqi, Xinjiang are working hand in hand. After fifteen years of cooperation, he and Komatsu jointly embarked on the golden age of mining.
With the increase of business volume, the company has purchased multiple Komatsu 100 ton mining large excavators to continue expanding its business scope. Among them, the highly anticipated mining main force - Komatsu PC1250-11R mining, has always maintained superior performance with a daily operation performance of about 10000 cubic meters, which also well interprets Komatsu's product concept of "century old quality and craftsmanship".
15 years of cooperation: starting with reputation, outstanding efficiency, and loyalty to quality
In 2009, Mr. Xu became acquainted with Komatsu. From the initial PC360 to PC450-7, PC450-8, and then to PC650, PC700, Mr. Xu has almost used the Komatsu equipment all over. With the continuous increase of the annual mining output of the mining area, the equipment tonnage is also gradually increasing. Since 2019, he has introduced the PC1250LC-8 super large excavator, opening up a more efficient mining mode. At present, the mine has 9 super large excavators (6 PC1250-8 and 3 PC1250LC-11R) and 5 PC500LC-10M0 excavators, which undertake annual mining tasks of tens of millions of tons.
When it comes to the reasons for choosing Komatsu equipment, Mr. Xu said that Komatsu has a high reputation in the field of mining and is highly recognized by the mine owners around him. In high-intensity and demanding mining environments, the stability and reliability of Komatsu equipment are very reassuring.
After more than ten years of cooperation, Komatsu Equipment has delivered satisfactory results to customers, and Mr. Xu has become a "professional" in mining equipment. He believes that Komatsu equipment has a very reasonable horsepower matching, which avoids the "insufficient power" of "small horses pulling big cars" and the "waste of resources" of "big horses pulling small cars". This greatly improves the efficiency of equipment work and saves costs for mining operations.
Taking Komatsu PC1250LC-11R as an example, with an average transportation distance of 3 kilometers and a 125 type wide body dump truck, it only takes 2 minutes to load a vehicle with 7 buckets.

Large scale mining: Komatsu PC1250 opens up the protagonist's halo
In Mr. Xu's Komatsu fleet, Komatsu PC500LC-10M0 was the first participant in mining operations and a witness to the large-scale development of mines. It "helplessly" watched itself from the main force of loading to the supporting role of the clean coal roof. Mr. Xu stated that currently, mining equipment in Xinjiang is developing towards large-scale and high-efficiency, and entry-level models have become "hundred ton level" equipment.
So, Komatsu PC1250-8 naturally became a capable player in the mining industry. According to Mr. Xu's estimation, if it is a soft or fine material working condition, the efficiency will be higher, and about 10000 cubic meters of material can be peeled off in a day; Working three shifts a day, I can work over 7000 hours in a year. The two PC1250-8 machines that were initially purchased have been working for over 30000 hours without any major issues. The four PC1250-8 machines that were later purchased have also been working for 15000-16000 hours. Mr. Xu is well versed in the various data of the equipment. Out of recognition of the quality of Komatsu products, Mr. Xu became one of the first customers of PC1250LC-11R upon its launch.
'Rest assured project': Let customers focus on the construction itself, it's done
During the cooperation with Komatsu, Mr. Xu highly praised the after-sales service. What impressed Mr. Xu the most was the centralized maintenance and inspection of the fleet equipment. One PC1250-8 needed to replace a component, which originally took 15 days to complete. However, Komatsu's after-sales service managed to compress the entire time to 4 days, ensuring the normal construction of the mine.
In addition, Mr. Xu also has his own profound understanding of the "reassuring project" created by Komatsu. The so-called "peace of mind" means to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the equipment. In addition to daily refueling, water addition, and maintenance, customers do not need to worry too much about the equipment. They only need to focus on the construction itself, as he said, "Just do it. The commitment and guarantee of "Trustworthy Engineering" have made Mr. Xu more determined to choose Komatsu as his partner to fight side by side.
The mine is its training ground, waving its towering arm at will. As the main force of mining with a weight of about 120 tons and a height of about 6 meters, the Komatsu PC1250 excavator can handle both efficient excavation and continuous operation with ease, expressing the characteristics of reliability, durability, and efficiency to the fullest.
