I. Defining the Core Strength of a Reliable Manufacturer with International Standards

As an international brand in the bulk material handling equipment industry, ZOOMRY’s "reliability" is not an empty claim, but is built on the solid foundation of technical accumulation, compliance certifications and a global service network:

  • Industry-proven technical expertise: ZOOMRY has focused on the R&D and production of equipment such as belt conveyorstelescopic stackers and hopper feeders for years. Its core technical team has over 20 years of experience in the bulk material handling industry, optimizing designs tailored to the operational characteristics of mines. The company has obtained more than 30 core technology patents in total, among which technologies like the "anti-blocking mixing system" and "crawler-type hydraulic leveling chassis" have been widely applied in mine projects across the globe.
  • Globally recognized compliance qualifications: Products are strictly manufactured in accordance with international standards, having passed major global emission certifications including EU Stage V and Tier 4 Final. The electrical system meets the IP65 dustproof and waterproof protection rating, and the anti-corrosion coating process is suitable for coastal salt spray environments. Whether for mine projects in Europe, America, Southeast Asia or Africa, ZOOMRY’s products can meet local industrial compliance requirements.
  • Global service network coverage: With service outlets established in more than 20 countries and regions worldwide, ZOOMRY provides full-process services ranging from pre-sales selection consultation and mid-sales installation & commissioning to after-sales maintenance & servicing. For overseas mine projects, it can achieve a 48-hour rapid response, and technical issues in remote areas can be resolved through remote guidance.
  • Full industrial chain synergy advantage: In addition to hopper feeders, ZOOMRY also supplies supporting components such as idlers, pulleys and cleaning scrapers, achieving precise matching between equipment and accessories, reducing compatibility issues, and lowering customers’ procurement and maintenance costs simultaneously.

II. Mine-specific Hopper Feeders

ZOOMRY’s mine hopper feeders are designed around the core concepts of "precise connection + reducing secondary handling", covering multiple series including heavy-duty, crawler-type and static models, and are tailor-made according to the material characteristics and operational scenarios of mines:

1. Precise Connection, 40%-60% Efficiency Improvement

The core demand of mine operations is "efficiency enhancement". Through optimized design, ZOOMRY’s hopper feeders realize seamless connection between excavation equipment and downstream systems: Equipped with large-caliber hoppers (some models feature 60-70° inclined side walls), they can directly receive materials fed by CAT 994 loaders, large excavators or grab cranes, eliminating the intermediate stockpiling link and completely eradicating secondary handling.

The heavy-duty models can achieve a maximum hourly throughput of 3500 TPH, fully meeting the 24/7 continuous production needs of mines. Combined with a PLC variable frequency control system, the feeding speed can be flexibly adjusted according to the capacity of downstream crushers and conveyors, avoiding material accumulation or insufficient supply, thus improving the overall process efficiency by 40% to 60%.

2. Multi-scenario Adaptability

Mine operating environments vary greatly. ZOOMRY enables hopper feeders to adapt to various complex scenarios through "diversified power options + flexible chassis designs + customized configurations":

  • Comprehensive power selection: Three power modes are available, including diesel-hydraulic (for non-power supply scenarios), hybrid (energy-saving type) and fully electric (environmentally friendly scenarios). For regions with stringent environmental regulations such as the EU and North America, fully electric/hybrid models can be selected to meet local emission requirements; for remote mines without stable power supply, diesel-hydraulic models can ensure continuous operation.
  • All-terrain chassis adaptability: The crawler-type chassis features a large ground contact area, coupled with hydraulic leveling function, enabling stable movement even on potholed and soft ground in mines, solving the pain point of "inability of excavation equipment to directly connect to crushers". The wheeled chassis offers fast transfer speed, suitable for port mines and hardened roads; the static models save space, ideal for fixed workshops or underground mine transfer points.
  • Customized configuration optimization: When handling large ore blocks ≥ 150mm, heavy-duty chain plate conveyor models with 6mm hardened steel liners are optional, which improve wear resistance by 30% compared to ordinary equipment. When handling wet coal and cohesive materials, they are equipped with material mixers and herringbone anti-adhesion belts, effectively preventing material blocking and bridging. For high-dust mines, dust covers and pulse dust removal systems are added to reduce dust pollution and material loss.

3. Low Consumption & Easy Maintenance, Reducing Operational Costs

The long-term operational costs of mine equipment directly affect project profitability. ZOOMRY has created cost-effective products by focusing on two aspects: "consumption reduction" and "easy maintenance".

  • Significant energy consumption reduction: Hybrid/fully electric models reduce energy consumption by 20%-25% compared with traditional diesel models. Taking a mine with an hourly throughput of 1000 TPH as an example, the hybrid model can save approximately 15 tons of diesel consumption annually, translating to over 100,000 yuan in annual energy cost savings based on international oil prices.
  • Extended service life of wearing parts: Core wearing parts such as wear-resistant belts, chain plates and hardened steel liners are made of high-quality materials, with a service life 30% longer than that of ordinary equipment, reducing replacement frequency.
  • Convenient and efficient maintenance: Adopting a centralized lubrication system, it can achieve multi-point synchronous lubrication, reducing manual maintenance time. The large-size access door design allows inspection and maintenance of internal components without disassembling the entire machine, enabling quick maintenance even in remote mines. Wearing parts have high universality and are stocked in service outlets worldwide, ensuring rapid replacement and minimizing downtime.

4. International Standard Manufacturing

As a manufacturer targeting the global market, ZOOMRY strictly follows international standards throughout the entire production and manufacturing process: From raw material procurement to finished product inspection, a rigorous quality control system has been established to ensure that every piece of equipment complies with ISO international quality certification. The equipment structure design takes into account global transportation needs, and some models can be disassembled and loaded into 40ft high containers, reducing cross-border transportation costs, which is particularly suitable for overseas mine projects.
