UKB is a leading manufacturer and supplier of Mining & Trailing Cables

UKB Electronics manufactures extremely robust Mining and Trailing Cables, specially engineered to withstand the severe conditions of open-pit and underground mining operations. Approved by the DGMS (Directorate General of Mines Safety), our cables are designed for maximum safety, durability, and operational uptime, making us a key supplier to one of India’s core industrial sectors. They are the lifeline for heavy mobile equipment where reliability is paramount.

Product Anatomy

Mining cables are built for extreme toughness and flexibility. They are constructed with extra-fine, rope-lay stranded copper conductors to withstand constant reeling and dragging. Cores are insulated with heavy-duty, flexible elastomeric compounds (like EPR). The key feature is the extra heavy-duty outer sheath, made from a reinforced, tear-resistant rubber or polymer compound, designed to resist cutting, abrasion, and impact.

Key Features & Customisation Options

DGMS Approved: Fully compliant with the safety standards and regulations for use in Indian mines.
Extreme Durability: Exceptional resistance to cutting, tearing, abrasion, impact, and crushing from heavy vehicles.
High Flexibility: Engineered for constant movement, flexing, and use on reeling drums without fatigue.
Safety First: Designed with features like pilot and ground check conductors for electrical safety monitoring of equipment.
Applications: Powering shuttle cars, draglines, drills, continuous miners, conveyors, and other heavy-duty mobile equipment.

Integrated Manufacturing Capabilities

The survivability of our mining cables is ensured by our in-house control over their construction:

Heavy-Duty Elastomeric Compounding: We compound our own specialized, heavy-duty rubber and elastomeric materials for sheathing. This in-house capability is critical for achieving the extreme tear and abrasion resistance required to survive the mining environment.
Fine Wire Rope-Lay Stranding: We utilize rope-lay stranding techniques to create extra-flexible, robust conductors that can withstand the severe mechanical stresses of trailing applications.
Heavy-Duty Cabling & Extrusion: Our heavy-duty cabling machines and large-scale extruders are capable of producing the large-diameter, multi-layer cables required for mining, ensuring a solid, void-free construction.
