Hello, I am Shen Yusong from Shuangjin Machinery — everyone calls me Asong. I am in Ghana right now, part of our overseas service team.
I am here for a large gold mine project, helping with the assembly, commissioning and start-up of a skid-mounted crushing station. The core equipment all comes from Shuangjin: jaw crusher, feeder, multi-cylinder cone crusher, vibrating screens and the full set of modular conveyors.
What is a skid-mounted crusher? It is a semi-mobile, modular crushing station. The whole plant sits on a steel chassis — no concrete foundation, just a levelled site. Because it is modular it can be assembled and put into production quickly, and it can be towed from one pit to the next like a sledge. That suits overseas open-pit mines with no grid power, poor infrastructure and a need to move often.
Let me show you the site. It rained earlier, so the air is fresh. The excavator is levelling the ground. The raw gold ore here is dark, easy to recognise. And this is me with my local colleagues — the better-looking one on the left is me.
People imagine overseas mine sites are tough, but this project is different. The camp is large, with more than two thousand residents and over half of them local employees. There are six or seven canteens, Chinese food on workdays and local dishes at weekends, and the food is generous. Gym, basketball court, swimming pool — the living facilities are all here. Management is strict in a good way: separate routes for people and vehicles, vehicles give way to pedestrians, no walking around on your phone, no smoking outside designated areas, and staff do not leave the site on their own — any business trip is accompanied by a translator.
I am gradually getting used to the climate and the daily rhythm here. There is an eight-hour time difference with China. I will be on site for one to two months, following assembly and commissioning through to stable production, and I will keep sharing how the project goes.
To all our overseas partners: wherever Shuangjin equipment goes, our service follows.
