A completed Bitcoin mining installation in Monterrey, Mexico, is packing 31.68 megawatts of hydro-cooled computing infrastructure into twelve 40-foot modular containers. Infrastructure supplier APEXTO disclosed the project on September 21, providing a rare equipment-level view of a large industrial mining deployment outside the United States.

According to APEXTO, the unnamed enterprise operator installed twelve AP-HC40-A480 hydro-cooling containers rated at 2.64 MW each. Every enclosure provides 480 Antminer Hydro slots, giving the completed site capacity for 5,760 ASIC miners. APEXTO has not disclosed the operator’s identity, exact ASIC models or aggregate hashrate, so those details cannot yet be independently calculated from the project disclosure.

Twelve containers create a 31.68 MW mining block

The design uses modular 40-foot enclosures rather than a conventional data-hall layout. At full nameplate load, twelve 2.64 MW modules total 31.68 MW. Each chassis holds 480 hydro-cooled machines on dual-sided racks and integrates electrical distribution, networking, coolant distribution and controls.

The architecture matters because liquid-cooled ASIC fleets require more than simply connecting water lines to miners. Pumps, manifolds, dry coolers, coolant chemistry, flow balancing, leak management, electrical protection and control systems have to operate continuously across thousands of machines.

Closed-loop cooling keeps dust away from 5,760 ASICs

Monterrey’s dry and dusty industrial environment creates a practical reason to use sealed hydro systems. Air-cooled miners move large volumes of ambient air through heatsinks and fans, bringing airborne particulates into direct contact with electronics. APEXTO says the project’s sealed closed coolant loops isolate all 5,760 miners from factory particulates while maintaining balanced coolant flow under full thermal load.

The company’s AP-HC40-A480 design rejects heat through external dry coolers and uses oversized stainless-steel headers, balance valves, pumps and coolant distribution equipment. APEXTO says the closed-loop architecture can operate without routine water replenishment, although actual site water use and maintenance requirements were not disclosed for Monterrey.

Cross-border installation required remote commissioning support

Moving twelve heavy 40-foot mining enclosures into Mexico required specialized cross-border logistics. APEXTO says its engineers then guided local technicians through live video calls during hydraulic manifold alignment, electrical termination and pressure testing.

That commissioning detail is significant for modular mining. Factory-built infrastructure can shorten field construction, but the site still needs correctly sized upstream transformers and feeders, mechanical connections, networking, grounding and protection before the miners can operate at nameplate load.

The missing number is hashrate

The disclosure establishes the site’s container count, ASIC slot capacity and electrical load, but not its Bitcoin hashrate. A 5,760-machine fleet could produce very different hashrate and efficiency depending on whether the operator installs S19 Hydro, S21 Hydro, S23 Hydro or another compatible Antminer generation.

For that reason, BitcoinVersus.Tech is treating 31.68 MW and 5,760 ASIC slots as the verified infrastructure figures while leaving hashrate unspecified. The next useful disclosure would identify the exact machines, measured wall power, accepted pool hashrate, operating temperature and sustained uptime.

Mexico adds another industrial mining footprint

The project is notable less for a headline hashrate number than for its physical infrastructure. Twelve standardized hydro modules allow an industrial operator to build a dense mining block inside an existing manufacturing campus while separating the ASIC electronics from dusty ambient air.

If APEXTO’s reported full-load operation is sustained, Monterrey now hosts a substantial hydro-cooled Bitcoin mining installation whose electrical capacity alone places it well beyond a small pilot or hobby deployment.
