Siemens Industrial Solutions and Services Group has received an order to supply two high-performance mine winder systems for the main production shaft of a new coalmine belonging to Shanxi Gaohe Energy Co Ltd, China.

The mechanical components will be supplied by Siemag who are members of the consortium, while Siemens is equipping the facility with electrical components.

The goal is to equip the shaft with production winders to achieve a hoisting capacity of 6 million metric tons of coal per year.

The total value of the order amounts to around 9.5 million euros and the pit conveying systems are scheduled to start operating in the middle of 2009.
