For the highest mine on earth at an elevation of almost 5,000 m (16,000 ft), 17,000 m (57,000 ft) of a PHOENOCORD St 6300 were supplied to the Collahuasi mine complex in the Chilean Andes.
In order to reduce the number of field splices, the single lengths were shipped on oval reels, having a weight of 58 tons. Such big single belt pieces have never been made before. The reel dimensions are: 5.2 m (204 in) long, 4.3 m (169 in) high and 2.3 m (91 in) wide. Thanks to this special packing method, 415 m (1,360 ft) of this big St 6300 fit on one roll.
