strategy and drives eff orts to expand the product range, supporting mining companies in their goal to lower carbon emissions.
ADVANCED ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE The equipment integrates an energy management system that optimises power usage in real-time. These systems not only reduce energy waste but also extend machinery lifespan by preventing overuse. Predictive maintenance features are
another critical element of the loaders. By detecting potential mechanical issues before they escalate, these systems minimise downtime and repair costs. A spokesperson from Aramine argues that this aligns with the industry’s drive for cost-eff ective, eff icient operations and ensures consistent productivity.
RENEWABLE ENERGY SOLUTIONS FOR REMOTE OPERATIONS One of Aramine’s most innovative collaborations is with Tysilio, to introduce solar-power stations to remote mining sites. These containerised solar kits deliver 100% renewable energy, enabling the charging of electric equipment without the need for diesel generators. The stations are easy to deploy
without extensive groundwork, making them suited to isolated locations. They also help to reduce operating costs and prevent around 100 tons of CO2 emissions annually compared with traditional diesel-powered systems.
ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS Aramine’s initiatives are a ‘win-win for both the economy and the environment’, according to the company. Electric machinery off ers substantial savings by lowering fuel expenses and reducing maintenance needs compared with

diesel-powered alternatives. Environmentally, these innovations
help mining companies meet increasing regulatory and societal demands for sustainable operations. The company’s transition to cleaner technologies is a signifi cant step toward minimising its environmental impact.
PIONEERING CIRCULAR ECONOMY PRACTICES In addition to developing energy- eff icient machinery, Aramine is exploring ways to extend the lifecycle of its equipment components. For instance, batteries that are no longer suitable for mining operations can be repurposed for secondary uses, such as powering homes or off ices. This approach supports a circular
economy, reducing waste and further enhancing sustainability. By coupling battery-powered machinery with renewable energy sources like solar stations, the company says it provides ‘a holistic solution to modernise mining practices’.

EXPANDING DIGITAL SERVICES Aramine’s Smart Parts e-shop is a platform that aims to introduce a standard exchange system for energy modules, simplifying replacements and reducing costs for customers. This digital service underscores Aramine’s commitment to adapting its long-standing expertise to contemporary needs.
A VISION FOR SUSTAINABLE MINING As the mining sector navigates economic and environmental challenges, Aramine remains at the forefront, championing innovations that combine energy eff iciency with operational excellence. From pioneering electric loaders to developing renewable energy solutions and circular economy initiatives, the company is reshaping mining for a more sustainable future. “We are proud to lead the way
in responsible mining,” says Marc Melkonian, co-president of Aramine, and in charge of the equipment division. “These innovations are only the beginning. The enthusiasm from our customers inspires us to push boundaries and create more impactful solutions.”
