Ms. Chatchanok Srimala, Managing Director @ Loei Province, Thailand

At the expansive 80-acre Sila Toi Ting Stone Mill in Loei Province, Chatchanok Mining Company Limited has been setting the standard in rock blasting and quarrying operations for nearly three decades. Central to their efficiency is the Kobelco SK350XDLC-10 excavator, which has proven to be a game changer in their operations.

According to Managing Director, Ms. Chatchanok Srimala, the decision to switch to Kobelco equipment seven years ago has significantly improved productivity and reduced maintenance issues. The SK380XDLC-10 model, in particular, has delivered consistent reliability, durability, and cost efficiency. Its strong build, excellent fuel economy, and enhanced safety features make it ideal for the demanding conditions of mining and quarrying. "We've tried many brands, but none matched the consistent performance of Kobelco," the MD shared. "It's been a trusted partner for two generations of machines."

Veteran excavator operator Mr. Tawan Boonma, with nearly 20 years of experience, praised the SK380XDLC-10’s powerful 16m³ reinforced bucket, smooth control, and agile operation. He emphasized its ability to handle large rocks effortlessly, strong boom and arm structure, and durable undercarriage with roller support. The machine also boasts a robust cooling system, advanced safety features like rock guards, and an ergonomic, comfortable cabin for extended work periods.

The integration of Kobelco’s KOMEXS remote monitoring system adds another layer of convenience by allowing the team to track equipment performance and schedule maintenance from their phones. With dependable after-sales support and swift servicing, Chatchanok Mining Company continues to achieve high productivity while minimizing downtime.

For operations that demand strength, agility, and reliability, the Kobelco SK380XDLC-10 stands as a powerful ally—strong, durable, and ready to conquer every challenge.
