19" Stainless Steel Racks for Mines

Implementation of 19" Stainless Steel Electrical Racks for Mines in South Africa

At Delvalle, with over 50 years of experience in manufacturing custom solutions, we take pride in presenting this success story in collaboration with the mining industry in South Africa. Our commitment to quality and adaptability has enabled us to develop 19" electrical racks specifically designed to operate in demanding mining environments.

Client Challenge

South African mines are characterised by extremely harsh environmental conditions, including high humidity, exposure to corrosive agents, and fluctuating temperatures. These factors pose a significant challenge to the durability and performance of electrical equipment installed outdoors.

Delvalle’s Solution

To meet our client’s specific needs, we designed and manufactured 19" electrical racks with the following key features:

• Construction Material: We utilised AISI 316L stainless steel, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, particularly in environments containing chlorides and strong acids. This material is ideal for applications in marine and mining environments, where corrosion resistance is critical.

• Additional Coating: A polyester paint coating was applied over the stainless steel. This additional protective layer enhances resistance to corrosion and improves the durability of the equipment in the harsh climatic conditions typical of South African mining regions.

• Customised Design: Our racks were tailor-made to integrate seamlessly into mining operations, ensuring efficient installation and easy maintenance.

Advantages of the Implemented Solution

The combination of AISI 316L stainless steel with a polyester coating provides multiple benefits:

• Extreme Durability: Superior corrosion resistance ensures a long service life, even in highly corrosive environments.
• Reduced Maintenance: The robustness of the materials used minimises the need for frequent maintenance, optimising operational costs.
• Enhanced Protection: The polyester coating acts as an additional barrier against adverse environmental factors, ensuring the integrity of the equipment in extreme climatic conditions.

Results Achieved

Following the implementation of our 19" electrical racks in South African mines, the client reported a significant improvement in the reliability and efficiency of their electrical operations. The solution exceeded expectations in terms of resistance and functionality, reinforcing confidence in Delvalle’s high-quality products.

Conclusion

This project exemplifies Delvalle’s capability to deliver customised solutions that meet the highest standards of quality and durability. Our experience and dedication enable us to tackle complex challenges and provide our clients with the security and reliability they need for critical operations.
