On September 24, 2025, the award ceremony for the Anhui Division of the 14th China Innovation & Entrepreneurship Competition was held in Hefei. The “Mining Intelligent Bunker Cleaning Robot” project developed by Zhonggan TMSK stood out among numerous technology projects across the province, winning the “Excellence Award” in the Growth Group. The China Innovation & Entrepreneurship Competition is a premier national innovation and entrepreneurship event guided by the Ministry of Science and Technology and other national authorities. This recognition signifies that the product has gained authoritative acknowledgment for its technological advancement and industrialization potential.

The intelligent bunker cleaning robot addresses long-standing challenges in mine bunker operations, including harsh environments, high safety risks, heavy reliance on manual labor, and low cleaning efficiency. It integrates key technologies such as autonomous perception, intelligent decision-making, and remote control, achieving unmanned and intelligent bunker cleaning operations. In 2025, the product was recognized as one of the “Top Ten Benchmark Cases of Applicable Equipment for Underground Coal Bunkers” by the National Mine Safety Administration and as a promoted equipment for “New Technologies, New Processes, and New Equipment” in Anhui Province, fully demonstrating its technological leadership and practical value within the industry.

In practical applications, the robot can effectively address common complex conditions in various silos, such as coal bridging, wall adhesion, frozen coal, and blockage. It significantly improves cleaning efficiency, reduces operational risks, and lowers labor costs, providing reliable technical equipment support for mining enterprises to achieve “reduced-manning and unmanned” operations, thereby strongly promoting the transformation and upgrading of the mining industry toward intrinsically safe, intelligent, and efficient operations.

This award not only represents high recognition of Zhonggan TMSK’s technological R&D capabilities but also fully affirms the market competitiveness and development potential of its products. The company stated that it will continue to focus on the field of intelligent mining equipment, accelerate the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements, and inject further technological momentum into promoting safe, green, and high-quality development of China’s mining industry
