Supporting "One Guidance, Two Integrations": RIO Mining's Patented Liquid-Phase Rubber Drives High-Quality Transformation for Shougang Mining

At a critical juncture when Shougang Mining Company is deeply promoting its "One Guidance, Two Integrations" strategy and accelerating the rollout of its "Four New" (New Technology, New Process, New Equipment, New Materials) projects, RIO Mining has officially become a key partner in optimizing production lines and enhancing sustainable development. Leveraging its core patent—an innovative liquid-phase wear-resistant rubber—RIO Mining is helping Shougang Mining transform its mining operations.

Core of "New Materials": Innovating from Traditional Black Rubber to Liquid-Phase Technology

On Shougang Mining’s high-efficiency production lines, traditional "black rubber" wear parts frequently suffer from rapid wear, leading to frequent replacements and costly unplanned downtime. RIO Mining’s new liquid-phase rubber, a spotlight material in the "Four New" projects, breaks the limitations of traditional solid-phase compounding.

By directly processing 96%-purity imported natural latex, RIO Mining’s patented liquid-phase compounding method retains the original long molecular chains of the natural rubber. This preserves the material's maximum elasticity and impact resistance. Under Shougang Mining's rigorous working conditions, RIO's liquid-phase rubber has demonstrated exceptional adaptability, solving equipment protection challenges in high-abrasion environments.

Enabling Continuous Production: 10x Lifespan Eliminates Manufacturing Waste

The core of Shougang Mining's "One Guidance, Two Integrations" strategy lies in the deep integration of efficiency and high quality. RIO's liquid-phase rubber, with its proven 10x lifespan, directly enables continuous production:

10x Lifespan
Average parts life extension
+40% Yield
On-site screening efficiency
-30% Cost
Manual maintenance savings
-80% Carbon
Process carbon reduction
  • Extreme Reduction: Parts that previously required multiple replacements now only need a single installation. This eliminates the manufacturing and logistics waste of 2 to 4 replacement cycles, while reducing manual maintenance costs by approximately 30%.
  • Boosting Yield & Efficiency: Thanks to the high elasticity and self-cleaning properties of liquid-phase rubber, screening efficiency and line stability have significantly improved, providing robust support for increasing mining output by up to 40%.

Green Mine Transition: 80% Carbon Reduction as a Tech Dividend

In alignment with China's national dual-carbon strategy, Shougang Mining has prioritized environmental protection metrics within its "Four New" projects. RIO's liquid-phase process abandons high-energy-consumption, high-shear traditional manufacturing. Instead, it utilizes steam and microwave drying in a low-carbon workflow, achieving an 80% reduction in carbon emissions. This eco-friendly wear-resistant solution perfectly aligns with Shougang Mining's green and sustainable development goals.

On-Site Experts: Full Lifecycle Service and Support

Beyond supplying advanced materials, RIO Mining has deployed a team of professional service engineers to Shougang Mining’s production lines. They provide comprehensive services including on-site measurement, customized design, and expert maintenance. Through full-lifecycle technical support, RIO ensures that every liquid-phase rubber component delivers peak performance in complex ore transport processes, including gold, iron, and molybdenum.

"Participating deeply in Shougang Mining's 'Four New' projects represents strong industry recognition of our liquid-phase rubber technology. Moving forward, we will continue to innovate in materials science to deliver longer-lasting, greener wear solutions, helping global mining leaders transition from consumption-heavy production to value-driven continuous operations." —— RIO Mining Representative
