ZQ-13 and ZQ-17 pneumatic air loaders have been loaded for shipment to South America, where the equipment will support underground ore loading.

The shipment combines two pneumatic rock loader models with different bucket capacities, giving the mining customer practical options for loading broken ore in underground tunnels.

A Batch of Pneumatic Air Loaders Begins Its Journey to South America

The order includes ZQ-13 pneumatic air loaders and ZQ-17 pneumatic air loaders for underground ore loading. The two models share a compact wheel-type layout while providing different bucket capacities.

Before departure, the machines were grouped, protected for transport and positioned for loading. The shipment is now on its way to the customer’s mining operation in South America.

Two Pneumatic Rock Loader Models for Underground Ore Loading

ZQ-13 Pneumatic Air Loader for Compact Mine Tunnels

The ZQ-13 pneumatic air loader uses a 0.13 m3 bucket and is intended for tunnels measuring at least 1.7 m x 1.9 m. Its compact format supports ore loading where underground working space is limited.

Bucket capacity: 13 m3
Operating slope: less than 5 degrees
Air motor power: 83 kW + 15 kW

Applicable tunnel size: at least 1.7 m x 1.9 m

ZQ-17 Pneumatic Air Loader with a Larger Bucket

The ZQ-17 pneumatic air loader increases bucket capacity to 0.17 m3. It is configured for mine tunnels measuring at least 1.7 m x 2.0 m and can operate on gradients of less than 5 degrees.

Bucket capacity: 17 m3
Operating slope: less than 5 degrees
Air motor power: 11 kW + 15 kW
Applicable tunnel size: at least 1.7 m x 2.0 m

Why These Pneumatic Air Loaders Fit Underground Mine Tunnels

Two Bucket Sizes for Different Ore Loading Requirements

The 0.13 m3 ZQ-13 bucket supports compact headings, while the 0.17 m3 ZQ-17 bucket provides more capacity for tunnels with additional working height. This model choice helps match equipment size to the available space.

Tunnel Clearance and Gradient Matching

Both pneumatic rock loader models are specified for operating slopes below 5 degrees. Their tunnel-size requirements give project teams clear reference points when planning underground deployment.

Compressed-Air Power for Mine Loading Work

The ZQ-13 and ZQ-17 use pneumatic drive systems for the loading cycle. They are suitable for mines that plan to connect underground ore loading equipment to an available compressed-air supply.

Protected, Loaded and Dispatched for Export

The shipment images show multiple air loaders arranged for transport, with protective wrapping applied around the machines and selected components. The batch was then positioned on the truck for dispatch.

Pneumatic Air Loaders for South American Mining Projects

This shipment expands the supply of compact pneumatic loading equipment for underground mining in South America. The ZQ-13 and ZQ-17 models provide two capacity choices while keeping tunnel dimensions and working gradient central to equipment selection.

For mines in South America seeking ZQ-13 pneumatic air loaders, ZQ-17 pneumatic air loaders, pneumatic rock loaders or other underground ore loading equipment, our team can recommend a configuration around tunnel dimensions, working gradient and required bucket capacity.
