November 25, 2025, the 2JK double-drum hoist winch and comprehensive shaft sinking winch equipment provided by Wanfeng Mining Machinery have been successfully put into operation at the Bindura mining site in Zimbabwe, achieving the set target of a daily output of 2,000 tons of ore per single shaft. This milestone marks the first successful application of China's high-end shaft sinking equipment in the African market, setting a new benchmark for the company's overseas strategy.
For this project, Wanfeng Mining Machinery delivered a complete shaft sinking winch solution centered around the 2JK double-drum hoist. The equipment, leveraging its exceptional stability and robust lifting capacity, fully met the client's stringent requirements for high efficiency and reliability. The system is currently operating smoothly, enabling the Bindura mining site to achieve a stable daily output of 2,000 tons of ore per single shaft.
This successful collaboration not only demonstrates Wanfeng Mining Machinery's technological sophistication and environmental adaptability but also pioneers the deployment of high-end mining equipment manufactured in China for the African market, establishing a significant precedent for future endeavors.
