JASUNG at PERUMIN 37 in Arequipa, Peru: Partnering with Andean Mining in the High Altitudes

[Summary Description]

From September 22 to 26, PERUMIN 37 was grandly held in Arequipa, Peru. As Latin America’s premier mining exhibition, the event brought together industry leaders from across the region. JASUNG made a notable appearance with its permanent magnet direct-drive technology, engaging with professionals from global mining giants such as Glencore, Antamina, Southern Copper, and Las Bambas to discuss the future of drive systems.

In a continent where mining is a lifeline, “efficiency,” “reliability,” and “energy savings” are not just slogans—they are essential to the operational logic of every piece of equipment. At the JASUNG booth, the clean yet robust structural design, along with visually intuitive displays of the permanent magnet motorized pulley and its cross-sectional prototype, attracted considerable attention. Mining engineers and procurement managers from Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, and beyond stopped for in-depth exchanges.

Characteristics of Latin American Mining

From the Andes to the Amazon, mineral abundance meets extreme environments.

South America holds some of the world’s richest reserves of copper, lithium, iron, and nickel:

Copper mines in Chile and Peru are known for high-altitude locations and long-distance transport demands;

Iron ore mines in Brazil and Bolivia often lie in humid tropical climates, requiring equipment with dustproof, moisture-resistant, and anti-corrosion properties;

Polymetallic mines in Argentina and Ecuador place a premium on stability and continuous operation.

In such conditions, traditional gear drives and coupling systems often struggle with high wear, frequent maintenance, and excessive energy consumption. JASUNG’s permanent magnet motorized pulley, with its fully enclosed integration, gearless design, high torque output, and energy efficiency improvements of 20% or more, is uniquely suited to the mining realities of South America.

Technology in Sync: Where Efficiency Meets Reliability

“This technology makes us rethink how we define a drive system,” remarked a visitor from a Chilean copper mine in front of the display.

JASUNG’s pulley eliminates the need for external drive components such as reducers and couplings, driving the belt directly for highly efficient, quiet, and maintenance-free operation. In high-altitude mines, it performs reliably despite thin air and temperature swings. In long-distance belt conveying, it delivers consistent torque output. And in heavy-duty iron and nonferrous ore transport, it significantly cuts energy use while extending operational life.

This is a drive solution purpose-built for mining.

Echoes Across South America, a Language Understood Worldwide

From the Atacama Desert to the Andean plateaus, JASUNG is building resonance with a growing number of mining partners across Latin America. It brings not only energy savings and efficiency, but also the stability, reliability, and low maintenance that align with the industry’s pursuit of sustainable development.

“Originating from China, Starting with JASUNG” — more than a tagline, it is a testament to a capability that the global mining sector is witnessing firsthand.
