Oyu Tolgoi mine uses Siemens for engineering part. Siemens is undertaking the engineering, design, production and supply of the electrical equipment for the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine conveyor system. The delivery comprises the new conveyor system with gearless and conventional drives from thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions. The system extends the existing opencast mining facility and is expected to bring 95,000 tons of copper ore to the surface per day. The conveyor system has to overcome a difference in height of almost 1,400 meters. Initial production is expected to commence in 2020. The delivery also includes pre-assembled ‘E-Houses’ for installing the equipment as well as power factor correction and harmonic filtering equipment. To fulfil the requirements of the underground environment the dimensions of those “E-Houses” were reduced to an absolute minimum. The transport system consists of a total of nine conveyors – seven underground and two at the surface. The mine is approximately 550 kilometres south of the capital city of Ulaanbaatar and is located in the province of Umnugovi in the Southern Gobi region of Mongolia. The Oyu Tolgoi mine complex is a joint venture between the Mongolian government and Turquoise Hill Resources with Rio Tinto as the majority owner of Turquoise Hill Resources.
