Pneumatic Rock Shovel: South America Mining Solution

Air-Powered Efficiency: How Our Pneumatic Rock Loader Tackles South America’s Mining Challenges

In South America’s demanding mining environments—from the deep tunnels of Peru’s Andes to Brazil’s humid ore belts—efficiency and safety are non-negotiable. Our ZQ Series Pneumatic Rock Loader is engineered to excel here, combining rugged simplicity with air-powered reliability.

The Core Design

Five integrated systems drive its performance:

1. Travel System: Dual-motor wheeled chassis (left/right boxes) enables agile forward/reverse movement and sharp turns, even in cramped tunnels.

2. Work Platform: Fixed atop the chassis, it anchors the lifting, bucket, and control systems.

3. Lifting System: Drives the lifting chain to raise/lower the bucket along platform rails.

4. Bucket System: Four steel cables connect it to the platform. It rolls forward to scoop rock and retracts for unloading.

5. Control System: Three intuitive valves (lift, left/right travel) manage all operations.

Work Cycle Optimized for Rock

Each loading cycle is precision-timed:

• Scoop: The bucket rams the pile, leveraging frame momentum and vibration for deep penetration.

• Lift: As chains retract, the bucket arcs smoothly upward, accelerating near the peak for clean discharge.

• Unload: Rocks eject into rear-dumped mine cars or conveyors—boosting throughput in confined spaces.

Why South America Prefers Pneumatic

Compressed air eliminates spark risks in gas-prone areas like Colombian gold veins or Chilean copper mines. No electronics mean minimal downtime in high-humidity Brazilian shafts. Plus, its compact footprint navigates narrow, irregular tunnels common in Andean sites. For operators, valve controls reduce training time—a critical advantage in high-turnover regions.

Upgrade your loading cycle with air. No sparks. No complex electronics. Just rock-moving muscle.
