Located in central Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is one of the countries with the richest mineral resources in Africa. The main mines in the country are located in the world's third largest copper ore rich area - the Central African copper and cobalt ore belt, which is also the copper and cobalt ore belt with the largest resource reserves and the highest density of ore deposits in the world.

Due to the complex natural environment and hot climate, DRC mines have always been called the "testing ground" for mining equipment, and as long as the equipment can stand the test in DRC mines, the product performance must be trustworthy.

XE500DK excavator, the star excavator of XCMG, is responsible for the stripping of mines on all work surfaces and has performed well in the project, running 18 hours a day on average, almost all year round, excluding the time for daily maintenance.

- Equipped with Cummins engine, with ultra-low fuel consumption and strong power output;

- Larger displacement main pump and new main valve, with low pressure loss, stable performance and precise control;

- The key large structural parts such as chassis, slewing platform and working device adopt anti-fatigue design, which improves the service life of the equipment and has stronger 24h continuous operation capability.

- At the same time, the channel design and automatic lubrication technology of XE500DK can effectively reduce the maintenance time and meet the requirement of high attendance rate of equipment in mining operation.

As the main product of mining construction, XE500DK has the name of "ining pioneer, king of heavy load and steel beast"，
