ABB mine hoists to support safe and efficient copper extraction at Eti Bakır’s new underground mine
Eti Bakır A.Ş. anticipates an increase of almost 30 percent of its total cathode production, reaching a total of 90,000 tons. global.abb ABB will provide two hoists to Eti Bakır's new mine in Elaziğ. Image ABB Global technology leader ABB has signed a contract for a mine hoists delivery to Eti Bakır A.Ş., Türkiye’s largest producer of copper, in a joint effort to contribute to the mining industry’s ongoing sustainable transformation. The two organizations have signed an agreement which will see ABB provide two hoists to the new underground copper mine. Located in the Maden district of Elaziğ, the mine is currently under development and is expected to be fully operational within the next three years. With the opening of the new mine, integrating comprehensive and efficient solutions Eti Bakır A.Ş. anticipates an increase of almost 30 percent of its total cathode production, reaching a total of 90,000 tons. ABB’s mine hoists, which are scheduled for commission at the site in Q4 2025, utilize the most efficient and reliable electrical drives and motors available to minimize energy consumption. Copper’s critical role in clean energy technologies, such as wind turbines, electric vehicles, and battery storage, underpins its importance in the global transition. According to the International Energy Agency, mineral demand from clean energy technologies is expected to double by 2040 in the Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS) and quadruple in the Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS). This predicted surge in demand makes it all the more vital for the mining industry to adopt more sustainable operations for cleaner output. ABB and Eti Bakır share a commitment to furthering sustainability in mining as the energy transition progresses. Image Eti Bakır As a complete supplier of mine hoist systems, ABB will deliver the full scope of hoisting services. This includes both a production and an auxiliary hoist, which comprise of mechanical and electrical equipment, for one double drum and one single drum hoist, as well as head sheaves and arrestors. The reliability of these hoists will increase the productivity of operations, ensuring heightened efficiency and enhancing the safety of operators. The agreement represents ABB’s first complete mine hoist installation in Türkiye. With more than 130 years’ experience in the mining industry, ABB is dedicated to developing solutions that drive the sustainable future of mining without compromising on productivity. ABB’s mine hoists are renowned for their high equipment availability, all-electric operation, and exceptional reliability and efficiency. These attributes are pivotal in ensuring the continuous, uninterrupted operation of mining facilities, thereby maximizing productivity and safety. The collaboration between ABB and Eti Bakır emphasizes a shared commitment to furthering sustainability in mining in the global transition to more environmental practices. The integration of this mine hoist technology facilitates the productivity of copper production, ensuring higher safety and efficiency in operations. www.abb.com Powered by Induportals Media Publishing
