May 29, 2023, Congo, Africa, Recently, dozens of customized XCMG excavators have been exported in large quantities to mine for gold in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in Africa.

Located in central Africa, the DRC is one of the countries with the richest mineral resources in Africa. The country's major mines are located in the Central African Copperbelt, the world's third-largest copper-cobalt ore deposit zone. It is also the ore belt with the largest reserves and highest density of copper-cobalt deposits in the world.

Due to its complex natural environment and hot climate, Congolese mines have long been referred to as a "testing ground" for mining equipment. Any equipment that can withstand the challenges of Congolese mines is considered reliable in terms of performance.

After multiple field investigations of mining equipment, customers have selected exclusively XCMG excavators as their main construction machinery. The XE500DK excavator, a flagship model launched by XCMG, is responsible for mining excavation on various job sites and has demonstrated outstanding performance on the project. The equipment operates an average of 18 hours per day, almost non-stop throughout the year, with only minimal downtime for routine maintenance.

As the backbone product for mining construction, the XE500DK excavator has earned the reputation of being the "pioneer of mines, king of heavy loads, and steel beast":

Equipped with a Cummins engine, it features ultra-low fuel consumption and strong power output. With a larger displacement main pump and a new type of main valve, it boasts low pressure loss, stable performance, and precise control. Key large structural components, such as the undercarriage, revolving platform, and working device, are designed for fatigue resistance, enhancing equipment longevity and enabling 24-hour continuous operation. Furthermore, the XE500DK's passage design and automatic lubrication technology effectively reduce maintenance time, meeting the high equipment attendance requirements of mining operations.

With outstanding product performance and reliable service support, XCMG has deepened its presence in the Congolese mining market, earning the trust of customers and becoming a shining "Chinese calling card" in the vast African continent.
