Industrea has announced it has secured a US$6 million (AUD$6.5m) order with Shanxi Shenfu South Section Produce and Service Corporation for four Industrea Mining Equipment (IME) longwall roof support carriers and associated spares.

The order is for Shanxi Shenfu South Section Produce and Service Corporation’s Northern Shanxi Zone coal mines in north-west China.

2009 China Coal Show.

Industrea managing director and chief executive Robin Levison said the order was part of a new trend of electricity producers establishing coal mines based on leading international practices.

“China’s push to consolidate smaller mines and improve mining productivity and safety has now led to the larger electricity producers establishing their own large coal mines as a source of guaranteed supply,” he said.

“We are expecting a number of similar orders from other electricity producers for our equipment, including methane gas drainage, collision avoidance systems and longwall roof support carriers.”
