Mining and Tunnelling are some of the most demanding working environments for equipment, with some of the highest security standards to mitigate risk. Countries are focused on combining expertise and knowledge to create and develop safety and quality standards, with exceptionally detailed standards applicable in the manufacture, supply, and installation of cables – all vital for safety and operational excellence.
Mining cables get subjected to all types of harsh operating conditions. Subsequently, these robust, special cables must comply with the applicable quality standards to sustain long working life and uphold the highest safety in the mining operation – to power, control, and monitor heavy industrial equipment. Achieving this cable quality requires years of cable manufacturing and mining industry experience and knowledge.
Üntel has produced mining cables according to leading international standards with approved quality for over 30 years. Its products have been used during this time, without indecent or breakdown in mining operations, worldwide.
