Kapuro Ships 5T Electric Locomotives to Peru Mine | Variable Frequency Drive

Kapuro has successfully shipped a batch of 5-ton electric mining locomotives to a leading copper mine in Peru. This delivery, completed this week, addresses the client's need for efficient and adaptable haulage within their 850mm gauge tunnels. The locomotives' variable frequency drive (VFD) control system is key to achieving smooth operation and significant energy savings in their complex underground network.

Core Advantages and Application Scenarios

The electric locomotives delivered are specifically designed for medium-sized mine tunnels, with core functions directly addressing the client's operational pain points.

Precise Traction and Flexible Speed Control

This model provides a powerful 12.25 kN of traction force, ensuring stability during heavy-load uphill starts. Its variable frequency speed control technology allows the driver to control the speed steplessly, achieving smooth operation from the loading point to the unloading point, effectively reducing material spillage and protecting the mechanical transmission system. This is expected to reduce the frequency of transmission component maintenance by more than 30%.

Adaptable to Special Track Gauge and Voltage

The client's mine uses a non-standard 850mm track gauge. Our manufacturing team responded quickly and completed customized adaptations from the frame to the running gear. The vehicles use a 90V DC rated voltage, perfectly matching the underground power supply network, enabling immediate use and seamless integration.
