In June 2026, the Implementation Regulations of the Mineral Resources Law were officially implemented, coupled with the tightening of new mining safety regulations, the domestic mining slag scraper industry ushered in a wave of compliance, electrification, and intelligent upgrading, and the market structure underwent significant adjustments. The policy is clear, and strict verification of underground equipment qualifications will be carried out for mine acceptance and renewal of mining certificates. Old diesel scraper machines without MA safety standards, excessive exhaust emissions, and lack of intelligent monitoring will be directly shut down for rectification. Small and medium-sized mining enterprises across the country will accelerate the elimination of old equipment that has been in use for more than ten years, and the demand for equipment updates will be released in a concentrated manner.

The green mining policy continues to promote the popularity of electric explosion-proof slag removal machines. High temperature diesel equipment is prohibited in high gas mines and closed tunnels. Pure electric explosion-proof slag scraper has zero exhaust and low noise, significantly reducing ventilation costs. The purchase subsidy policy further drives sales, and the sales of electric motor models increased by over 35% year-on-year in the first half of the year. Traditional diesel models require the installation of complex exhaust purification devices, and the cost of retrofitting approaches the price difference of new engines. Most mining companies directly replace their new energy equipment.

Intelligence has become the core competitive track in the industry. The country is promoting the concept of “machines replacing people” and requires a steady increase in the replacement rate of intelligent equipment for high-risk underground positions. Intelligent slag removal machines with 5G remote control, real-time gas monitoring, and automatic fault warning have become mainstream procurement standards. At the recent coal mining exhibition, several heavy industry enterprises released a new generation of models equipped with digital twin systems. Remote control can avoid the risks of rockfall and gas leakage on the face of the workers, and the comprehensive efficiency of tunnel excavation has been improved by more than 50%.

On the market demand side, metal mines, railway tunnels, and water conservancy tunnel projects continue to start construction, and small and medium-sized narrow gauge scraper machines and large section heavy-duty models are selling well on both tracks. The industry concentration continues to increase, with top brands increasing their investment in research and development of three electric and intelligent hydraulic systems, and unqualified small factories accelerating their clearance. Industry forecasts indicate that the market size of slag removal machines will steadily grow throughout the year, with electric and intelligent models accounting for over 40% of the market. Safety, energy conservation, and unmanned technology will become the main focus of long-term development in the future.
