Heavy Koepe Winders, Deep Hoisting Systems & Engineered Subterranean Backfilling
MMPL designs, supplies, installs and commissions winding systems and provides mine backfilling services to support underground operations.
Factory-built directly at Central Engineering Works (CEW) Raniganj with computerized balancing, static testing, and integrated dynamic emergency multi-caliper disc brakes.
Direct ore haulage per skip cycle in heavy metal applications.
Multi-level synchronized haulage engineered for deep zinc and gold assets.
High-density paste and hydraulic fill deployed with zero pillar collapse.
DGMS Section 22A fail-safe mechanical brake uptime verification.
Turnkey Hoisting & Stabilization Architecture
Manufactured and certified under rigid DGMS circulars, combining heavy structural steel fabrication at CEW Raniganj with cutting-edge German hydraulic drive systems.
Multi-Rope Koepe Friction Winders
Dual-rope and 4-rope friction configurations engineered for high-tonnage vertical haulage. Equipped with direct-drive synchronous AC torque motors, polyurethane lined rope treads, deflectors, and electro-hydraulic multi-caliper disc brakes responding in under 40 milliseconds.
Heavy Cylindrical Drum Winders
Single and double grooved cylindrical drum installations dedicated to exploratory shaft sinking, sinking stage winches, and auxiliary personnel conveyance. Features mechanically clutched double drums enabling fast multi-level adjustments.
Headframe Civil & Structural Steel Erection
High-tensile structural steel headframes fabricated at MMPL Central Engineering Works (CEW) Raniganj. Designed to absorb severe dynamic breaking overloads and peak line pulls in A-frame, 4-post box-girder, or tower-mounted multi-deck configurations.
High-Density Hydraulic & Paste Backfilling
Engineered subterranean void stabilization utilizing deslimed mill tailings, fly ash, and high-early-strength binders. Includes subterranean pressure-tight bulkheads, boreholes, and high-capacity surface slurry pump trains to maximize ore pillar recovery.
