Performance

The quality, accuracy and performance delivered through our progressive spring designs and manufacture is exceptional. That’s why we’re trusted by buyers and mining procurement teams across the world.

Durable

Extreme environments don’t come tougher than mining excavation and our technical engineers assess the stress, temperature and corrosive risks a product endures to ensure durability is optimised for the right application.

Precision

Heavy duty spring manufacture is as precise as micro spring medical manufacture. Product accuracy and optimisation - achieving cutting-edge bespoke solutions to weight, height, stability, durability, fitment and performance - is all part of the process of our spring manufacturing techniques for mining applications.

Materials

Choice of spring material is entirely governed by the application and function that the spring requires. One of the most popular spring materials, due to its outstanding performance levels, exceptional strength and extraordinary resilience to high temperatures is chrome silicon steel - a highly desired material for mining spring manufacture alongside chrome vanadium wire.

Consequently, we hold one of the largest global stocks of chrome silicon and chrome vanadium wire anywhere in the world.

Quarry & Mining Applications for Springs

Quarry and Mining equipment covers an expansive range of machinery with demands on the spring components within them to be able to handle the toughest applications. Our spring manufacturing process features the most advanced hot and cold CNC coiling capabilities delivering quarry and mining industry springs with large wire diameters. Our processes and spring manufacturing techniques for mining applications are designed to manufacture highly engineered springs that can withstand the extreme demands of the industry and deliver on quality, endurance and accuracy.

Engineering & Capabilities

Matching our customers world-class performance expectations with advanced production technology and leading expertise, our technical, quality, engineering and production teams enjoy partnerships with mining equipment OEM’s and suppliers. The majority of our mining springs manufacturing projects are designing, developing and manufacturing custom quarry and mining springs to excel in the extreme environments of their operation.

All our projects start with consultations; establishing drawings to meet precise specifications and designing prototypes that evolve as the product design process evolves. Performance handling assessments, technical reviews, safety testing and failure analyses collaborate to direct the demands of the precision spring and secure the right custom springs for mining application performances. Manufacturing and consistently testing samples before full production runs, is all part of the product service and customer culture we believe in to achieve product optimisation for our customers.

Precision Custom Springs

In the demanding and high-stakes world of quarry and mining, every second counts. The accuracy and precision of coil spring design, development, and manufacturing can make all the difference in achieving optimal performance and safety. At our cutting-edge facilities, our top-tier engineering and quality teams, state-of-the-art technologies, and advanced CNC spring coiling machines enable us to deliver exceptional bespoke spring design and manufacturing services for the mining industry. Our continual investment in our facilities and services ensures that we remain at the forefront of precision mining spring manufacturing, allowing us to optimise the performance and safety of quarry and mining equipment by pushing the boundaries of material capability and spring design.

The Process

Collaboration is key and the start point of all spring design is the consultation between our technical teams and the customer. Technical designs advance through quality teams and engineers before entering the prototype phase, sample provision, testing and then mass production.

Precision Manufacturing

We’re leaders in our field because we manufacture from the highest quality wire and feature the most advanced coiling and cutting technology. This results in us excelling at spring manufacturing standards in the mining industry, delivering spring solutions that deliver the right product for the right application and guaranteeing uniformity and precision from the first spring to the last.

Heat Treatment

An essential part of the manufacturing process, heat treatment removes residual stress introduced to the material during the coiling process. The treatment stabilises the springs dimensions for greater accuracy and increased fatigue life and our oven facilities use forced convection technology to ensure the material is uniformly heat treated from surface to core. Our larger mining industry springs, using a wider wire diameter, require a hot winding process as the extreme heat allows large scale wire diameters to be coiled.

The process of heating up wire to approximately 900 degrees celsius, quenching in oil and tempered to complete the heat treatment, allows the spring material to be coiled to the specifications required.

Quality Control

Our quality management systems conform to ISO 9001 and our teams are experts in their field. Our global network of quality engineers ensure the spring products meet the quality standards required by the design and are the one stop shop for quality control and spring manufacturing standards in mining industries.

Reliable Shock Absorbing

In contrast to anti-vibration springs, springs required for shock absorption need to be designed to withstand shocks, a high amount of compression cycles and return back to their original dimensions without deformation. Our engineers take many factors into account when designing a shock absorbing spring system including critical material selection and fatigue tests to validate a springs life cycle. Our heavy-duty spring manufacturing, quality, technical and operational teams measure every process to ensure the right product is manufactured fit for purpose.

Optimal Load management

Our springs are load tested using state of the art dedicated CNC spring load testers with each being regularly calibrated by third party inspectors to ensure compliance. We work within the QMS systems laid out within ISO 9001 and follow industry approved manufacturing control plans to ensure our springs comply with the requirements of the design - providing a customer guarantee of exceptional quality.

Efficient Energy Recovery

Efficiency gains are core goals for us internally which drives optimising efficiencies for our customers. Our recent investment in the largest cold coiling model made by Wafios, the substantial FUL 226 can cold coil wire up to 30mm diameter in addition to coiling pre-tempered wire up to 22mm diameter, with a tensile strength of 2000 MPa. Historically, wire this size would be hot coiled but our capabilities with this new equipment increases our efficient energy recovery, alongside a wealth of waste management gains.

Stable Vibration Control

We have undertaken extensive research into the optimum strength for vibration control springs positioning us as one of the leading experts in the field. Correct material choice is vital as the spring is required to absorb vibrational forces but also resist relaxation and creep, in order to hold whatever they are protecting from the vibrations - this is one of the few times that material selection is required to not be too strong and hard as this may cause the spring to shear and fail.

Flexible Solutions

From concept to completion, our teams are in place to evolve a customer’s spring concept and deliver the end product. A high volume of our projects require agility across partnerships that need bespoke designs and this adaptability builds a loyalty legacy between us and the customer that we’re very proud of.

Innovating the Future of the Quarry & Mining Industry with Springs

Our teams consistently challenge the status quo looking to new material innovations, design optimisations and customised solutions to solve spring issues within the mining industry. Determined to be at the forefront of spring innovation, we significantly invest in our people and our facilities to ensure we continue to lead in heavy duty spring manufacturing.

We are also striving towards a more sustainable future. We recognise that climate-related issues are high on the sustainability agenda of our customers, suppliers, stakeholders, industry representatives, authorities and employees and we want to be transparent about the progress we’re making to optimise our product lifecycle and transition to a lower climate impact.

We are in discussions with strategic partners concerning greater access to raw materials with a lower carbon footprint and we’re working with our customers to enhance our product development process.
