ZOOMRY
Quick answer: ZOOMRY delivers EPC and EPCO turnkey solutions for bulk material handling. This case study details two projects: a 9.6 km ultra-long belt conveyor for Jiangxi Hengchuang Mining (3,000 t/h capacity, complex tunnel/elevated structures), and an integrated truck-to-ship system for a Southeast Asian port that reduced truck turnaround time by 35% and eliminated wheel loader re-handling.
Case Study 1: The 9.6 km Ultra-Long Belt Gallery
Project: Jiangxi Hengchuang Mining
Scope: EPC Turnkey Delivery
Length: 9.6 km
Capacity: 3,000 t/h
Belt Width: 1,400 mm
The Engineering Challenge
The client needed to transport high volumes of ore over nearly 10 kilometers of highly complex terrain. The route required crossing existing plant facilities, navigating mountainous topography, and maintaining strict environmental controls. Traditional truck haulage was entirely uneconomical at this scale.
The ZOOMRY Solution
ZOOMRY engineered a composite structure system featuring:
- Tunnel sections: To pass through mountainous terrain without surface disruption.
- Underground galleries: For crossing beneath existing plant infrastructure.
- Elevated galleries: For spanning valleys and avoiding flood zones.
This required integrating structural engineering, geotechnical analysis, and conveyor dynamics into a single continuous flight.
| Parameter | Result |
|---|---|
| System Length | 9.6 km |
| Continuous Capacity | 3,000 t/h |
| Structure Type | Tunnel + Underground + Elevated Gallery |
| Belt Width | 1,400 mm |
| Delivery Model | EPC Turnkey |
Case Study 2: 35% Faster Truck Turnaround at a Port
Project: Multi-Berth Port Terminal, Southeast Asia
Scope: EPCO Turnkey Delivery
Equipment: ZRLD-TU1800 Truck Unloader + HF-TR Hopper Feeder + Mobile Shiploader
Capacity: 1,800 t/h
The Engineering Challenge
The terminal was using a fixed receiving hopper with wheel loader assistance. Trucks were queuing for an average of 18 minutes. The wheel loader created a massive bottleneck during peak hours, severely limiting the terminal's throughput and increasing demurrage costs.
The ZOOMRY Solution
ZOOMRY replaced the static hopper with an integrated truck-to-ship system:
- ZRLD-TU1800 Tracked Truck Unloader: Trucks drive over and discharge directly into the hopper. The wheel loader is completely eliminated from the receiving process.
- HF-TR Tracked Hopper Feeder: Acts as a buffer, regulating the material flow to the ship loader.
The tracked mobility allowed the system to relocate between berths, serving multiple vessels from a single equipment set.
| Metric | Before (Fixed Hopper) | After (ZOOMRY System) |
|---|---|---|
| Truck Turnaround Time | 18.0 minutes | 11.7 minutes (-35%) |
| Wheel Loader Dependency | Continuous assistance required | Zero |
| Receiving Method | Loader pushes material into hopper | Drive-over direct discharge |
Why EPC Capability Matters
These two projects illustrate why ZOOMRY's EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) capability is critical. A 9.6 km tunnel-and-gallery system cannot be assembled from off-the-shelf components, and a multi-berth port operation requires seamless integration of three separate machines.
ZOOMRY provides the complete chain: structural engineering, equipment manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and even long-term operation and maintenance (O&M).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the longest conveyor system ZOOMRY has built?
The Jiangxi Hengchuang project features a 9.6 km continuous belt gallery. ZOOMRY also delivered a 6.4 km cross-sea aggregate conveying gallery for Zhejiang East Mining.
How did ZOOMRY reduce truck turnaround time by 35%?
By replacing a fixed hopper and wheel loader with a drive-over tracked truck unloader (ZRLD-TU1800), trucks discharge directly into the system. This eliminated the wheel loader bottleneck and reduced discharge time from 18 minutes to 11.7 minutes.
Does ZOOMRY handle the structural engineering for tunnels and bridges?
Yes. For the 9.6 km project, ZOOMRY designed and fabricated the tunnel sections, underground galleries, and elevated steel structures required to navigate complex terrain.
Can ZOOMRY deliver projects outside of China?
Yes. ZOOMRY has exported EPC projects to over 30 countries, including Southeast Asia, Africa, South America, and Europe.
