Proven endurance for these Shindaiwa Generators

CLIENT

Northern Star Resources

LOCATION

Wiluna, Western Australia

From mine sites to remote operations, these diesel generators have earned a reputation for endurance, reliability, and performance in some of Australia’s toughest environments.

Operating in one of the most demanding mining environments in Australia, Northern Star’s Jundee Mine required a power solution that could endure relentless conditions, extreme temperatures, dust exposure, and continuous operation far from major service hubs. The challenge was to deploy generators capable of maintaining reliable output over long run times without compromising efficiency or safety. For APS, the expectation was clear: deliver a system that could not only perform but endure.

APS installed these Shindaiwa diesel generators engineered specifically for long-term resilience. These units were selected for their proven reliability in harsh, remote conditions and their ability to operate continuously with minimal maintenance downtime.

From the outset, APS’ technical team worked closely with the client to ensure each generator met the rigorous standards of the mining sector, from load consistency and fuel efficiency to component durability. This collaboration resulted in a fleet that continues to perform seamlessly across long operational cycles, providing dependable power for critical mine infrastructure.

The deployment of these Shindaiwa units in 2008 at Jundee Mine in the Goldfields region has become a benchmark example of long-term endurance in mining power systems. Despite more than a decade of demanding operation, the generators have consistently delivered exceptional performance, even in the face of challenging site conditions.

Some units have now exceeded 80,000 hours of operation, a milestone that underscores both the build quality of Shindaiwa equipment and APS’ ongoing commitment to reliability. This remarkable longevity continues to validate APS as a trusted supplier of power solutions that stand the test of time, supporting Australia’s most demanding industrial environments with confidence.
