Three institutes and five centres

The research structure is what makes a single contract across test work, design, manufacturing, construction and operation possible in the first place.

The three institutes

01

Mine research institute

Ore characterisation and process innovation across more than 70 ore types, with a CNAS accredited laboratory and an industrial test plant, running roughly 200 test programmes a year.

02

Mine design institute

Geology, mining, processing, civil, electrical, automation and steel structures across 17 disciplines and 11 departments, with more than 300 specialists averaging over 20 years of experience and more than 300 delivered projects.

03

Intelligent equipment institute

A 110,000 m2 production area with more than 200 patents in large intelligent mining equipment, capable of supplying the complete main and auxiliary equipment set for plants up to 50,000 t/d.

The five research centres

Pilot plant research centre

Bench to semi-industrial testing across crushing, grinding, flotation, gravity, magnetic separation and dewatering. Designated a provincial key laboratory and a municipal key laboratory.

Underground backfill test centre

Classification, dewatering, mixing and batching technology, rheology testing, thickening optimisation, backfill system design and automated one-touch backfill.

Physical and chemical inspection centre

Non-destructive testing by radiographic, ultrasonic, penetrant, magnetic particle and visual methods, with ISO 9712 certified personnel.

Wear resistant rubber centre

Wet process wear resistant rubber technology for pump liners, impellers, cyclones and mill liners, developed in house.

Automation research centre

Mine automation and digitalisation, including 5G, AI and IoT applications, digital twins and data analysis, from planning through EPC implementation.

Manufacturing bases

Advanced materials, mining equipment and modular prefabrication bases, integrated with 5G and industrial IoT infrastructure.

What this means on a project

A recovery problem in month three of operation is a test work question, an equipment question and a control question at the same time. When those three sit in different companies, the owner arbitrates. When they sit in one group, the answer comes back as one recommendation.
  • Test engineers, designers and commissioning engineers in one organisation
  • Wear parts and pump liners developed against our own duty data
  • Instrumentation and control developed with the process, not retrofitted
  • Non-destructive testing on fabricated equipment before it ships

Send us the ore, the tonnage target and the site conditions. We reply with a scoped proposal.

Every Xinhai proposal starts from test work, not from a catalogue. Tell us where the project stands and our engineers will come back with the delivery model, the scope split and the next step.
