Baudouin PowerKit: Engineered Prime Power for the Mining Sector

In mining, the question is never if power is needed, but how it can be delivered, reliably, continuously, and in the toughest conditions imaginable. Can your equipment keep running when the dust is thick, the temperature soars, or the site is hundreds of kilometres from the nearest grid?

Baudouin is reinforcing its position in the mining industry with its PowerKit range, purpose built to deliver continuous prime power in the most demanding environments. With outputs reaching up to 2400 kWe, the range includes the M11, M16, M26, M33 and M55 platforms, each adapted to meet the unique operational challenges of remote and high load mining sites. From supporting crushers, conveyors and dewatering pumps to powering ventilation systems and processing plants, these engines ensure uninterrupted performance where uptime is essential.

The 12M26 is a compact 31.8 litre V12 platform that delivers strong mid range power in a footprint suited for modular plants and mobile applications. Need more muscle but still want to save space? The 20M33 combines high displacement with an optimized package size, offering an ideal balance of output and space efficiency for large scale mining facilities. And for the most demanding applications, the 16M55 delivers exceptional power density and mechanical strength, producing up to 2400 kWe for continuous base load operations in the largest mining complexes.

What gives these engines the edge? All the COP models feature heavy duty air filtration as standard, with high airflow capacity, low initial restriction, and exceptional filtration efficiency (>99.7% initially, >99.9% at full life), plus a large dust holding capacity. Operating in -30°C to 110°C, and tested to ISO 5011 and ISO 12131-1 A4 standards, this system is designed to thrive in the harshest off road conditions.

Flexibility is built in. Baudouin engines for mining can be supplied with either mechanical or ECU controlled fuel systems. Cooling packages? Choose between mechanical or electric motor driven radiators. And with a wide range of accessories available, each unit can be tailored to match specific site and application needs.

And what about downtime? PowerKit COP is engineered for maximum uptime, with a 12 month unlimited hours warranty to keep operations moving. Plus, Baudouin’s global service network and reliable spare parts supply ensure expert technical support is always close at hand.

By delivering high performance, durable engines tailored for mining applications, Baudouin proves it is more than a supplier: it is a trusted partner when continuous operation is non-negotiable. The PowerKit M11, M16, M26, M33 and M55 give mining operators resilience, adaptability and cost efficiency to meet production targets, even in the world’s toughest environments.

Power You Can Count On in the World’s Harshest Mining Environments

In mining, reliable power is not optional, it is mission critical. From remote desert pits to high altitude operations, equipment must perform flawlessly when dust clouds the air, temperatures swing from extreme cold to searing heat, and the nearest power grid is hundreds of kilometres away.

Baudouin’s PowerKit range is engineered for exactly these conditions. Delivering continuous prime power up to 2400 kWe, the M11, M16, M26, M33 and M55 platforms are purpose built to handle the heavy demands of crushers, conveyors, dewatering pumps, ventilation systems, and processing plants.

Performance Across the Range

  • 12M26 – A compact 31.8 litre V12, ideal for modular plants and mobile installations, combining strong mid range power with a small footprint.
  • 20M33 – High displacement in an optimised package, providing an excellent balance between power output and space efficiency for large scale facilities.
  • 16M55 – Exceptional power density and mechanical robustness, delivering up to 2400 kWe for continuous base load in the largest mining complexes.

Engineered for Extreme Conditions
Every COP model comes with heavy duty air filtration as standard. This advanced system offers high airflow capacity, minimal restriction, and exceptional filtration efficiency (>99.7% initially, >99.9% at full life), alongside impressive dust holding capacity. Certified to ISO 5011 and ISO 12131 1 A4 standards, it operates reliably from -30°C to +110°C, ensuring maximum protection in severe off road environments.

Tailored to Your Operation
Flexibility is built into every PowerKit. Choose between mechanical or ECU controlled fuel systems, mechanical or electric motor driven radiators, and a wide range of accessories to configure each engine to your site’s exact requirements.

Maximum Uptime, Minimal Downtime
With a 12 month unlimited hours warranty and the backing of Baudouin’s global service network, mining operators can depend on rapid spare parts supply and expert technical support wherever their site may be.

More Than a Supplier, A True Partner
By combining high performance, durability, and application specific flexibility, Baudouin ensures mining operations stay productive, cost efficient, and resilient in the toughest environments on earth.
