Mining operations often use aging equipment, and OEM parts are either discontinued, extremely expensive, or have lead times of several months. Our engineering team can reverse engineer worn or damaged parts, creating precise digital models and manufacturing replacement parts that typically outperform original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications.
Rapid turnaround to minimize downtime
We understand that supply chain delays directly impact your hourly output metrics. By optimizing processing schedules, maintaining close relationships with heavy materials suppliers, and improving internal efficiency, we can help you quickly restore critical equipment to production operation.
Mining CNC Machining Plant and Capabilities
Our in-house mining CNC machining plant boasts over 60 milling machines, including 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC machining centers, enabling rapid prototyping and small-batch production of high-performance, geometrically complex precision parts. CNC milling is ideal for machining parts with planar and serrated geometries, such as slots and grooves, and is also suitable for post-processing turning, 3D printing, or molding parts to add detail. Some of our CNC machines have machining capacities up to 80 inches. These large machines allow for machining large workpieces with fewer setups, saving production time and producing more precise parts. By combining large machines with small, high-speed equipment, we are able to offer a full range of precision machining services across a wide range of vertical and horizontal machining applications.
Tolerance Standards for CNC Machining in the Mining Industry
Elimold’s standard tolerances for CNC machining in the mining industry apply to machining plastics conforming to ISO 2768 (Medium) and metals conforming to ISO 2768 (Fine). Typically, we can control CNC machining tolerances between ±0.005 inches (±0.125 mm) and ±0.002 inches (±0.05 mm). For tighter tolerances, a complete 2D drawing containing all required information must be provided. Our engineering team will communicate with you regarding critical dimensional tolerances and reduce production costs while meeting drawing specifications.

Machining and Grinding in One Stop
The machining of mining equipment parts often involves multiple processes. A single component may require CNC machining, face milling, boring, Blanchard grinding, surface grinding, straightening pressure bracing, and final inspection before it can be repaired, replaced, or reused. Elimold simplifies this process by offering multiple machining capabilities within a single facility. This reduces additional transportation, minimizes supplier handovers, improves communication, and allows more project stages to be handled by our in-house machining facility in Shenzhen, China. This one-stop approach is particularly helpful for large, heavy, or worn mining equipment parts that require careful handling through multiple machining and grinding steps.
CNC Machining of Heavy-Duty Mining Equipment Components
Mining equipment components are typically large and heavy, making machining extremely difficult without suitable machining capabilities. Elimold provides machining services for heavy-duty equipment components that may require milling, boring, grinding, straightening, or inspection before being put back into service or entering the final assembly stage. For mining customers, strength, precision, and durability are paramount. Elimold leverages the reliable support of its experienced machining plant in Shenzhen, China, to help customers successfully complete the machining and grinding processes for large, heavy parts.
Machining Services for Mining Parts (Planking, Milling, and Boring)
Mining-related parts may require wide flat surfaces, precise holes, machined surfaces, drilling, or heavy-duty surface treatments. The Elimold team supports these machining processes through planing and milling services. Planing is ideal for machining large plates, welded parts, machine tool bases, and heavy-duty parts requiring precise machining of large surfaces. Horizontal boring is suitable for parts requiring precision boring, milling, drilling, facing, or hole drilling. These capabilities help mining customers machine large, complex parts that require careful setup, dimensional capabilities, and reliable machining support.
Grinding Support for CNC Machined Parts in Mining Equipment
Grinding can be a critical step when mining equipment parts require improved flatness, material removal, surface morphology correction, or preparation for subsequent machining or assembly. Elimold offers a variety of grinding processes for mining equipment, including Blanchard grinding, surface grinding, precision grinding, and large part grinding. Our grinding capabilities are generally suitable for efficient material removal and flatness correction on thick plates, weldments, wear-resistant surfaces, and industrial parts. Surface grinding may be more suitable when parts require tighter surface control, higher finish, or more precise flatness. Because of the variety of grinding processes we offer, our team can help determine the right approach based on part size, material, tolerance requirements, wear mode, and end application.
Certification and Quality Management
We have an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system and utilize coordinate measuring machine (CMM) technology for high-precision machining. We ensure that every piece of mining equipment undergoes a rigorous quality control process, from material selection to manufacturing, without exception. Our professional quality assurance team conducts meticulous inspections to ensure that our products exceed industry standards, providing reliability and durability even in harsh mining environments. From concept drawings to finished components, we conduct comprehensive checks on every order throughout its entire production lifecycle.
Highly Precision and Customizable Mining Machining Prototyping Services
Not all machines can utilize prefabricated parts, therefore many mining equipment manufacturers require custom CNC machining solutions to meet mining needs. Elimold offers rapid prototyping services to help you develop parts suitable for mining applications. Our extensive experience in the mining industry allows us to fully address your unique challenges. By producing parts to precise specifications, we reduce the likelihood of errors and ensure smooth and efficient operation of mining machinery. Furthermore, our materials and processes are specifically designed to withstand the industry’s demanding requirements.
