HOWO 8x4 Chassis for Mining Applications
The HOWO 8x4 chassis provides a heavy-duty platform for mounting the bulk emulsion mixing and charging system. Its four-axle configuration is suitable for applications requiring a relatively high payload and stable vehicle performance on mining and quarrying sites.
The vehicle can be configured according to the customer's operating environment, road conditions, required capacity and local vehicle regulations.
Bulk Emulsion Mixing and Charging System
The truck integrates material storage and conveying systems for on-site emulsion charging operations. Piston pumps are used for material conveying, while the charging system is powered through the vehicle engine and PTO.
The system provides a charging capacity of up to 300 kg/min. The final emulsion density can be adjusted within the specified technical range, while the control system monitors key operating parameters during the process.
Intelligent Control and Monitoring
An industrial PLC control system is used to manage the main operating functions. Remote control can be used for specified pipe feeding, charging and alignment functions.
The dynamic telemetry system can provide GPS tracking, operational parameter monitoring and production video transmission, helping fleet managers monitor vehicle operation remotely.
Applications
The HOWO 8x4 bulk emulsion explosive mixing and charging truck is intended for professional mining and blasting service applications, including:
- Open-pit mining
- Metal ore mining
- Coal mining
- Quarrying
- Large-scale aggregate production
- Mining contractor operations
- Large blasting service projects
Final vehicle configuration and use should be determined according to the mine-site requirements, operating conditions and applicable local regulations.
