Renewables for mining go baseload with a hybrid fuel-solar solution

THEnergy – Dr. Thomas Hillig Energy Consulting Munich| Germany

The combination of concentrated solar power (CSP) and gas or diesel allows for robust power generation in 24/7 applications with different fuel types incl. biogas and off-gas.

Fig 1: Ripasso CSP System in Upington, South Africa (Copyright: Ripasso Energy)

Munich, February 2016 - The study “A hybrid solution with concentrated solar power (CSP) and fuel for baseload mining operations” analyses the fit of Stirling Hybrid solutions for the mining industry. The Stirling engine based solution combines in an integrated system solar with gas

or diesel as an energy source. The CSP-solar component it relies on makes it particularly appealing for extremely sunny regions. In many mining regions irradiation is high and this criterion is satisfied. The business case for Stirling Hybrid solutions is particularly attractive if mines are very remote. Transport costs and “losses” increase the fuel costs largely, whereas the CSP plant is installed once and then provides energy.

EDUCATION Fig 3: Ripasso CSP System in Upington, South Africa (Copyright: Ripasso Energy)

New built off-grid mines face often choices of paying for expensive grid-connection or generating the power onsite. On-site power stations often consist of diesel gensets. Stirling Hybrid solutions are an attractive alternative to diesel gensets. If the solar irradiation is high the CSP plant can generate the total output power. If the solar irradiation is not at its maximum the heat that is needed for the highly efficient Stirling engine can also be produced by various secondary fuel types. This makes the fully integrated system ready for baseload applications as we see in mining. A variety of fuels can be used, e.g. natural gas, CNG, LNG, LPG, biogas, industrial off gas, coal methane gas or even diesel. A combination of CSP and biogas is 100% renewable energy generation.

In combined mining and metal processing plants offgas that otherwise would be flared can be used in the Ripasso Stirling Hybrid solutions. It has extremely positive consequences on the sustainability and cost position. Further, the other gas types are cleaner than diesel or heavy fuel oil, especially if the high efficiency of the new hybrid solution is taken into consideration. The Stirling engine itself operates combustion free, which has many advantages regarding maintenance and operation of the power plant. The expected lifetime of the system is well above 25 years. The modular design allows for scalability in 33 kW steps and ensures a robust power generation, as the different power modules operate completely independently.

EDUCATION The modularity of the Stirling Hybrid solution reduces the probability of production losses due to power outages to an absolute minimum. Finally, the study identifies advantages regarding the use of land and water. Both can be very critical for mining operations at remote locations. “The Ripasso Stirling Hybrid solution fits very well to the requirement of mining companies whenever reliable baseload power is needed in sunny regions”, says Gunnar Larsson, CEO of Ripasso Energy. “We are frequently contacted by industrial consumers who suffer from production losses due to power outages.” The Stirling solution is proven in naval applications and units of the Ripasso CSP system are installed in Southern Africa. “It is important to indicate that Ripasso Energy belongs to Ahlström Capital, a family investment company that continues the heritage of the renowned Ahlström corporation”, points out Dr. Thomas Hillig, CEO of THEnergy. “A strong owner in dynamic environments is an important factor for long-term investments.” The study can be downloaded at: http://www.th-energy.net/english/platform-renewableenergy-and-mining/reports-and-white-papers/

Portlandzementwerk Wotan H. Schneider relies on Pipe Conveyor by BEUMER Group:

Perfectly integrated into the environment

ortlandzementwerk Wotan H. Schneider from Üxheim-Ahütte in the Volcanic Eifel has acquired a Pipe Conveyor manufactured by BEUMER Group to transport clinker to its cement mill. The 200-metre-long conveying system is customised to fit perfectly into the local environment. Since the system is completely enclosed, no material can fall on the road or passing vehicles. Additionally, absolutely no dust is released into the air, which greatly benefits the environment, which greatly benefits the environment. Furthermore, the conveyor is economical in operation, energy-efficient and maintenance-friendly.

Around 380 million years ago, huge limestone reserves accumulated in the lime dell of Hillesheim in the Volcanic Eifel region of Germany. Numerous dolomite formations and several basalt and lava cones demonstrate the geological diversity of the area. At the heart of the region lies the small parish of Üxheim-Ahütte. Portlandzementwerk Wotan H. Schneider KG, informally known as Wotan Zement, has had its plant on the outskirts of the village with 180 inhabitants since 1923. The family-owned enterprise has 70 employees and produces nine cement types. According to technical director Gerd Morenhoven, these include Portland cement,

Issue 01 | 2016

Portland limestone cement, Portland pozzolana cement, blast-furnace cement and Portland slag cement. These are bagged or filled into silo trucks and transported to construction sites, ready-mix plants, concrete component manufacturers and building material traders. The enterprise mines the necessary raw materials (limestone and marl) in the Üxheim, Nohn, Berndorf and Kerpen quarries that all lie closely together in the lime dell of Hillesheim. For the manufacturing of cement clinker,

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY Wotan Zement built a special receiving station for purchased clinker. (Photo: BEUMER Group GmbH & Co. KG)

Comprehensive expertise, optimum support

limestone and marl are crushed and homogenised with additional raw materials. In raw mills, the materials are ground to the necessary grain size and dried. The resulting raw meal is then homogenised and temporarily stored in large silos. To obtain cement clinker, a coarse intermediate product, the raw meal is first transported into the cyclone preheater. There it is preheated and deacidified at temperatures of over 950 degrees Celsius. The material then moves into the rotary kiln where it is burned at temperatures of around 1,450 degrees Celsius. „Due to increased demand for Portland cement we currently need to buy additional cement clinker. It is delivered in trucks to a specially built clinker receiving station“, explains the technical director. The cement manufacturer needed an efficient solution for transporting the arriving material to the processing site. „We were looking for an eco-friendly and low-maintenance solution“, specifies Gerd Morenhoven.

For the building material manufacturer, BEUMER Group was their first choice to supply optimal conveying equipment. The provider of conveying solutions has been well-established in the building industry for nearly 80 years. BEUMER has bundled its comprehensive expertise in the industry and established different Centers of Competence to offer optimal support to building material manufacturers by providing single-source solutions. The Pipe Conveyor segment is one of BEUMER‘s Centers of Competence, which are in charge of worldwide project management and sales. This specific project was carried out in close collaboration between the group companies in Austria and the Czech Republic.

Maximum environmental protection, minimum maintenance „Together with the management team in ÜxheimAhütte, we developed a solution that is tailored exactly to match the customer‘s requirements“, says Josef Amon, project manager at BEUMER Group Austria GmbH who was responsible for the project. It became apparent that a Pipe Conveyor was the best solution offering

The new conveyor had to be optimally adapted to the existing premises; for example, it had to follow the course of the access road and not lose any material during transport, even on uphill and downhill slopes.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY Smooth performance from start to finish Besides the supply and installation of the Pipe Conveyor, BEUMER also took care of all the necessary solutions for ensuring flawless operation. Among other things, BEUMER equipped the conveying system with a magnetic separator. The route of the Pipe Conveyor now runs along the access road, crosses a weigh-bridge, then reaches a twoway chute. There, clinker is either transported to the mill via an existing reversible belt conveyor or taken to the existing clinker store.

Constructive solutions

environmental protection and low maintenance. Wotan Zement already has a Pipe Conveyor and the system has stood the test of time. „Its closed design reliably protects the environment from dust and people or vehicles from falling goods“, explains Josef Amon. The conveyors also offer many other advantages. They are able to navigate long distances and tight vertical and horizontal curve radii. The ability to negotiate sharp curves means that far fewer transfer towers are needed in comparison with other belt conveyors — or, depending on conveying length and curve radii, even none at all. Thanks to this, the customer can significantly reduce costs and BEUMER can more easily adapt the system to specific requirements. BEUMER Group supplied and installed a system with a pipe diameter of 200 millimetres and a length of 213 metres. It conveys up to 200 tons of material per hour. Another system advantage is the reduced noise emission of the Pipe Conveyor. Special idlers, low-noise bearings and electric motors work very quietly. „This makes for a more pleasant working environment for our employees. Besides, the people in the vicinity are not disturbed by the noise. It is an important aspect, since the plant is located on the outskirts“, notes Gerd Morenhoven.

Issue 01 | 2016

BEUMER Group was in charge of the entire process. BEUMER Austria took over the project implementation: its employees created the basic design and included all the systems supplied by the customer, delivered the components and commissioned the Pipe Conveyor. BEUMER Czech Republic a.s. took care of the detailed engineering, the steel structure and the installation. „We designed the frames so that they could support the pipeline for pneumatic cement transport supplied by the customer“, explains Josef Amon. This pneumatic pipeline was part of another project. The simultaneous use of the Pipe Conveyor frames as a pipeline bridge allowed for substantial cost savings in the other project. „The challenge was to do without additional supporting structures“, says Josef Amon. Furthermore, the engineers integrated the Pipe Conveyor into the existing plant structure.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY The take-up device is installed in the feeding area, where the customer is installing a dedusting unit. (Photo: BEUMER Group GmbH & Co. KG)

„However, because the system was quite old, there was very little documentation left“, he reminisces. That challenge, too, was successfully mastered by BEUMER, as Pipe Conveyors are quite easy to integrate into existing plants. The complete project implementation lasted around ten months. Since February 2015 the system has been operating successfully. „We are very pleased“, says the technical director, Gerd Morenhoven. „The transport from the clinker receiving station to the clinker store or the mill is performed quietly, quickly and without material loss“.

BEUMER Group The BEUMER Group is an international leader in the manufacture of intralogistics systems for conveying, loading, palletising, packaging, sortation and distribution. Together with Crisplant a/s and Enexco Teknologies India Limited, the BEUMER Group employs 4,000 people worldwide, and achieves an annual turnover of about 680 million EUR.

BEUMER develops blending beds for different bulk goods:

Relying on regularity

BEUMER provides customised system solutions for the cement industry (coloured blue) (Photo: BEUMER Group GmbH & Co. KG)

n many industrial processes – as for example in the cement industry – the regularity of the raw materials used plays an important role in the manufacture of products. This uniform consistency is ensured through blending beds located within the storage yard. As a system supplier, BEUMER Group develops stackers and bridge scrapers, the essential components of blending beds, which stack bulk material reliably and guarantee a maximum blending effect. Thus, operators can homogenise large quantities of various bulk materials dependably and efficiently. BEUMER employees can perform the complete engineering of the blending bed systems. Be it houses, bridges or tunnels: cement is the material that holds everything together. However, a bag of this material has already come a long way before it arrives at the building site. When the component raw materials are mined and transformed into cement at the cement plant, they pass through many different stages. The most important raw materials for cement production are limestone, clay and marl. Workers break them out of quarries or extract them with heavy tools. Wheel loaders and dump trucks

transport the raw materials to the crushing facilities. There, the rocks are crushed to the approximate size of road gravel. These rocks then arrive at the cement works via miles long belt conveyors. A consistent quality must be ensured so that the producers can further process the material to high-quality cement – fluctuations in the material characteristics must not occur. Therefore, a belt conveyor transports

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY

BEUMER experts perform the complete engineering of the blending bed systems. (Photo: BEUMER Group GmbH & Co. KG)

the individual raw materials to the blending beds. These storage location systems mix and homogenise the raw materials.

Experts at work For almost 80 years, BEUMER has been developing tailor-made system solutions in conveying technology for the stone and quarry industry, power plant industry, mining (ores and coal) as well as the logistics industry (harbours and transshipment terminals). Furthermore, the specialists have comprehensive expertise in engineering of blending beds and stockpiles. Through structural analysis of the associated storage depots and calculation of dimensions, BEUMER is able to provide a design. The blending beds are customised according to their requirements. BEUMER proposes either longitudinal or circular stockpile designs. The recommended design shape results from the spatial conditions and the amount of the material to be stored. Depending on the field of application, BEUMER designed blending beds can be used at extreme ambient temperatures, for very high entry conveying capacities, as well as for the highest degree of homogenisation required. Additionally, BEUMER provides material-specific detailed solutions with robust and low-wear equipment. The environmental impacts are also very low as minimal noise and dust occurs during operation. Blending beds can be set up both outdoors and indoors.

Issue 01 | 2016

Compiled and extracted in layers The stacker and the bridge scraper are the basis for a blending bed. If they are perfectly designed, the user will obtain an optimum blending effect. BEUMER offers stackers that stack the bulk material efficiently and effectively. In the end, the stockpile has been raised so reliably that its cross-section shows as many layers of equal material as possible. The stackers can be of fixed or mobile types, depending on the requirement. In case of circular stockpiles the stackers are mounted onto a column and with a longitudinal blending bed, they are mounted on rails. The stackers are designed as fixed, raisable and pivotable booms with conveying capacities of up to 4,000 tons per hour. The choice of the right system depends on different factors, as for example, the shape and size of the stockpile, the material, the throughput and the desired mobility. Lastly, the bridge scraper homogenises the material. It has a mobile rake on each side. The material is removed in layers by stroking the face of the stockpile with the rake. The scraper blades move the bulk material towards the belt conveyor which runs parallel to the stockpile. BEUMER bridge scrapers are not only robust, but they also transport the bulk material so that the product is handled gently. This makes them suitable for a variety of bulk materials. Their continuous and comparably simple working motions allow for a fully automated operation and ensure a constant and steady flow of the bulk material.

www.advanced-mining.com

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY In the past, the new BEUMER team has completed remarkable projects in this field. One such example is an installation of a bridge scraper in Russia, which works at an ambient temperature as low as -40 degrees Celsius. The rail width is 34 metres and this bridge scraper is designed for a conveying capacity of 500 tons per hour. Furthermore, BEUMER has developed a stacker for coal mining, which is operated at ambient temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius. This boom has a length of 41 metres and the belt width measures 1.6 metres. It transports 2,250 tons of bulk material per hour. BEUMER also engineered a bridge scraper with a rail width of 55 metres that conveys 1,100 tons of coal per hour.

or BEUMER Group, Customer Support is much more than just a service. While it was once enough to „simply“ prevent or quickly solve malfunctions and machine downtimes, the intralogistics provider has now significantly extended this service. Approximately 1,000 employees worldwide now work for this business segment. They take care of the customer, starting with the first project discussion, up until the system is in operation. Customer support comprises different types of agreements. With its Residential Service, the group assumes, for example, the responsibility to provide trouble-free operation on site, even for the long-term. What makes for a good relationship between the user and the supplier? For Kornelius Thimm, the answer is simple. „We have customers that have been loyal to us for decades. This is certainly based on mutual trust,“ the Director of Customer Support at BEUMER Group is convinced. Because our systems and machines run reliably. His colleagues take care to ensure a high level of system availability for the entire running time. „Our customers know that we would never leave them out in the rain,“ adds Kornelius Thimm.

every day of the year worldwide, helping further reduce downtime to a minimum. The technicians perform remote analyses, indicate corrective measures and offer quick and reliable solutions to correct any malfunction. Due to its global positioning, the group has consistently optimised and extended this segment with specifically trained employees during the last few years. „We‘re not only providing service products, we really take care,“ emphasises Kornelius Thimm. This becomes more and more important to users from different industries. It is not always only about preventing malfunctions and machine breakdowns, which would lead to long downtimes. No matter what industry, companies have to meet the ever increasing market demands and improve the capacity of the equipment, for example. „And we take care of this,“ the service director promises.

Customised like a tailor-made suit

The systems can be put quickly back in service. Additionally, we will also find the cause for the malfunction to prevent it from happening again.

During the maintenance of the machines, the customer support employees check whether or not there are parts to be replaced. If spare parts are required, BEUMER Group provides a quick delivery.

Customised employee trainings In order for the machines to run for the maximum operating time, users need to be trained at regular intervals. The performance of the machines also depends on maintenance and on how they are operated by the customer personnel. The employees who work with the machines are brought up to date, and new employees are introduced to the systems. Training is required for the initial installation, as well as a follow-up several months after the system has been running. At this time, the customer has the opportunity to ask questions related to their specific needs. „The training programmes are tailor-made for the customer and their systems“, Kornelius Thimm points out.

The users‘ expertise is maintained through the technical consultation by our Customer Support employees. Customer Support offers basic trainings up to continuing education. They are tailor-made to meet the customers needs and are held for machines and systems of BEUMER Group as well as of other manufacturers. This is how the group ensures high health and safety standards. Experienced specialists impart detailed knowledge and structured procedures for successful maintenance and for the operation of the systems. This is particularly important for machine operators, because mechanics and control technology is becoming increasingly elaborate and sophisticated. In order to meet future performance and technology requirements, BEUMER Customer Support employees ensure that the machines are always up-to-date. „We make sure that the machines are comprehensively modernised,“ says Kornelius Thimm. This means higher performance and availability, minimised energy consumption, more ergonomic working conditions, new functions and a better overall system utilisation. For this, the employees can update or upgrade the systems.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY Sharing your accountability A particularly important part of this business segment is the Residential Service. Customers can hand over the responsibility to BEUMER Group for availability, performance and economic efficiency of their filling, palletising and packaging technology, but also for sortation and distribution systems in logistic centres and airports. BEUMER Group employees carry out the maintenance with profound logistical and technical expertise, ensuring high levels of machine efficiency. If required, BEUMER Group appoints a team of specialists which will ensure proper operation and availability of the entire system on site. BEUMER Group believes that the customer should have access to a Customer Support technician that originates from the same cultural background and speaks the same language. „For this reason we cannot just send colleagues from Beckum to Singapore“, says Thimm. Successful customer support requires an understanding of the mentality of the customer: How is the customer positioned? What are his goals and how does he want to develop in the future? These questions require tactfulness and cultural know-how. Logistics providers offer services for reliable filling, palletising and efficient packaging of products. This can sometimes involve overcoming considerable difficulties, because the products can have very different characteristics. Yet they have to be consistently handled safely and gently throughout the entire process chain. In addition, they need to be able to react to the continually increasing throughput rates of the installations and machines. Another demand to be met: the control, regulation and clear representation of the complete material flow. Kornelius Thimm knows that „if the service provider does not meet all these requirements, a competitor will do it“. Customer Support employees make sure that the customer‘s systems are always perfectly adapted to their tasks, and that all processes run smoothly.

ulk material like building materials, coal, cereals, fodder or mineral compounds are often transported via motorways, railways, waterways or through nature reserves. The large quantities of dust generated during this process can pollute the environment considerably. Dust clouds can also occur during loading, filling and palletising. This not only creates considerable clean-up for the employees, but chemical industry products can also present a health hazard and cause dangerous reactions. With its conveying, loading, filling and palletising systems, BEUMER Group ensures minimal dust emission. BEUMER Group is a world-leading systems provider for transporting, loading, filling and packaging bulk material. The BEUMER portfolio includes curved belt conveyors for fast and cost-efficient transport of large quantities of bulk material from the quarry or mine to the factory or port. The belt conveyors are able to navigate long distances, high angles of inclination and tight curve radii, and can be adapted

The bulk loading head is also available with an integrated compressed-air filter. This allows you to operate the centralised dedusting units independently from the dust transporting devices. The dust removed from the bulk transporter vehicle is fed again to the material flow during loading. The compressed-air filter consists of filter hoses which are positioned between the inner telescopic tube and the outer bellows. The suction is carried out by a fan fastened at the outside.

Equipped with extensive features, BEUMER Group has added the rotating filling machine, BEUMER fillpac, to its product portfolio. (Photo: BEUMER Group GmbH & Co. KG)

BEUMERâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s portfolio also includes mechanical vertical conveyors such as belt bucket elevators. They are an essential production link in the cement industry. BEUMER reliably seals the shaft casings of these bucket elevators, which stops dust from escaping. Instead, the dust trickles into the bucket elevator boot that is equipped with a dynamic bottom. Wet and sticky material cannot accumulate but is fed back into the transport process.

Loading without spilling BEUMER Group has developed bulk loading heads for the quick and dust-free loading of bulk transporter vehicles. They are designed according to the double-wall system, where the material inlet and the dedusting unit are separated from each other. When the bulk loading head is placed on a filler neck, its sealing cone is lowered and the outlet spout opens simultaneously. The lowering level of the sealing cone is variable. You can adjust the fill level in the vehicle using the fill level meter. In order to balance out any minor positional deviations of the vehicle, the operator can move the bulk loading head laterally during placement.

Dust-free loading of open vehicles BEUMER offers various types of telescopic loading systems for dust-free loading of open vehicles. With these systems, the bulk loading head is lowered to the floor of the vehicle and the material feed is switched on. A fill level switch in the lower dedusting hood is activated by the rising material. This causes the bulk loading head to be raised automatically. The edge of the dedusting hood always rests on the material cone while it rises, so that no dust can escape. The bellows, or the telescopic tubes for the dust extraction, are connected to a central dedusting air system. Corresponding devices or flow control gates transport the material to the system. The bulk loading heads can also be equipped with fill level indicators. Once the vehicle is loaded, they reliably turn off the material feed. Different types of fill level indicators are used depending on the properties of the material. Some of the criteria used to select the correct switch are bulk density, flow behaviour as well as product temperature.

Mobile loaders for bulk transporter vehicles In the cement industry, high loading capacities are required. Stationary bulk loading heads are often not sufficient, especially if the bulk transporter vehicle is standing on a weighbridge and may not be moved during the loading process. It should be possible for the operator to move the bulk loading head to each filler neck of the

Issue 01 | 2016

vehicle. Depending on the properties of the materials to be loaded and the length of the vehicle, different sliding or swivelling loading system options are available. These mobile loading systems can be fitted with either one or two loading heads, depending on the space available. First, the bulk material needs to be filled in bags so that it can be palletised, packaged and sent to the customer. As a single-source provider, BEUMER Group offers an innovative solution with the BEUMER fillpac filling machine and provides equipment and systems for packaging lines. The new machine can be flexibly integrated with existing packaging lines and can be optimally adapted to the customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s situation. What makes the BEUMER fillpac unique is a specific weighing electronics which ensures the weight accuracy of the bags. Rejects caused by too high or too low filling weights can nearly be eliminated. The weighing unit communicates permanently with the filler neck via a specific software. The automatic bag weight adjustment determines the exact filling weight of the bags, thus enabling the exact degrees of filling during the filling process. The filling spout is equipped with a special hood that reduces dust emission to a minimum. There are also suction points on both sides in the area of the filling spout. The dust is sucked off directly where it builds up and fed back into the process. This allows for a practically dustfree filling of the bags. The three-position cylinder that regulates the coarse and fine flow is protected from dust, because it is positioned vertically and outside of the dirty area. The cylinder for bag discharging is also located in the dust-free zone above the filling spout.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY The paper, PE or PP bags are then stacked on pallets of different sizes in a flexible, precise and stable way. For this, BEUMER has developed the BEUMER paletpac速, a high capacity layer palletiser. If you want to avoid dust formation, the bags have to be handled very carefully. This is why BEUMER offers the palletiser with a clamp-type turning device or the newly developed twin-belt turning device. They position the filled bags quickly, ensuring their dimensional stability without any deformations. If required, BEUMER Group customer support can simply upgrade existing palletisers with the twin-belt turning device.

Metso Corporation: HP100 cone crusher saves over 30%

energy at Kaiser Baustoffwerke, Germany

To avoid dust, crushing and screening at Salgen/ Bronnen is carried out as a wet process. (Photos: Metso)

eplacing an old combination of jaw and cone crushers with a single, efficient Nordberg HP100 cone crusher from Metso makes a real difference at Kaiser Baustoffwerke stationary plant in Germany. With the new installation, the company calculates to save over 30% electricity used.

Kaiser Baustoffwerke, situated in western Bavaria, specializes in processing of natural gravel and sand, which are crushed and screened in the stationary plant to serve as base materials at the company’s four concrete plants. During a year, the company produces in its four plants 85 000 cubic metres of concrete to make a number of different products. For concrete, some 250 000 tons of round-shaped natural gravel is crushed and screened in a two different plants. A separate primary crusher is not needed, because the feed size of gravel is less than 63 mm.

Issue 01 | 2016

Metso was the most pleasing solution According to Managing Director Max Kaiser, Metso was seen as the first choice even before making any more detailed comparison. “We wanted a reliable partner. After comparing the cost and technical details accurately, Metso’s HP100 cone crusher was clearly the most pleasing solution for us,” Max Kaiser comments. The old crushers were dismantled and the new HP100 cone assembled in April 2015.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY When crushing, a closed site setting of 12 mm is used normally with HP100. Outcome is sized 0-16 mm.

Full wet process to prevent dust Situated near populated area, Kaiser has to be very sure that no dust is spread to the environment. Therefore, the whole process including crushing and screening is wet, and also houses a washing plant. Below freezing point during the winter, the company has to stop their operation. “Concerning noise, the levels with HP100 are quite tolerable, being below the noise created with the older crushers” Max Kaiser comments.

Presence every day is important Even at managerial position, Max Kaiser is present at the Salgen/Bronnen quarry almost every day. “It’s important to be around, not for control but to give answers and add motivation among our workers. Of our staff, over 60% have been working with use more than 10 years, and two over 40 years.” The Kaiser family runs the enterprise group the second generation of the family. Metso’s HP100 cone crusher executes today the job of two old ones: a jaw and a cone. (Photos: Metso)

Doing the job of two old ones “After the first months of operation, we are very pleased. In fact, HP100 does the job of the two older crushers, saving us more than 30% of electricity costs. With our domestic price levels, the savings are quite significant,” Max Kaiser says.

“We want to grow our operations carefully and gradually. My son is studying technical issues in Bochum. Hopefully he will become the third generation to continue the business,” Max Kaiser wishes. Round shaped, colorful natural gravel and sand is brought to Salgen/ Bronnen quarry from different locations nearby. (Photos: Metso)

“As a bonus, we got good capacity reserves. Today, we run HP100 only about five hours per day, allowing us to raise our production easily when needed.” “In addition to assembly, training and service offering, Metso people provide us with good ideas and suggestions concerning our crushing and screening process. It seems clear, that a second HP100 will be installed to our second, similar type of plant,” he adds.

perational costs play today a significant role to secure cost-efficient and profitable work. To achieve this, the German sand and gravel operator Richard Suttner chose two Nordberg GP100 cones crushers to its stationary crushing and screening plants. As a result, savings both in wear parts and energy costs, totaling up to 100 000 EUR per year, has been achieved. While processing very abrasive natural gravel and sand in the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Troschelhammer and Josephstal quarries in Bavaria, the wear parts costs using impact crushers scored earlier record high figures, making profitable operation impossible. Sometimes, impactor wears had to be changed even on weekly basis. After replacing impactors with GP100 cones, the Metsomade liners have lasted up to 20 000 tons of crushing. As a bonus, compressive cone method creates less fines than impacting, which is a big plus. Using the GPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, energy savings are the second benefit making big difference compared to the old process. On yearly basis, Richard Suttner now uses 22% less energy, resulting in decreased consumption by 2000 kWh.

New GP100 after testing a second hand one To play safe, Richard Suttner tested the cone crushing technology by acquiring a second hand GP100 cone. Based on the good results, a brand new one was purchased in April 2015. Both GPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are operated as the primary crusher. The sand and gravel brought to the quarry is first screened, from which the overflow between 22-120 mm is crushed. At GP100, a closed side setting of 15-19 mm is used.

After crushing, the products, sized is 0-22 mm, are conveyed for screening and washing Main end products include washed sand, and 2-8 mm, 8-16 mm and 16-22 mm sized aggregates for concrete production. Richard Suttner processes some 300 000 tons of sand and gravel per year. Of this amount, about 80 000 tons need to be crushed.

Two plants save up to 100 000 EUR per year After a quick calculation, Richard Suttner sums up a total savings of 90 000 EUR per year using two GP100 cone crushers.

Using Metso’s GP100 cone crusher, the company achieves significant savings in wear parts costs compared to the impact method. (Photos: Metso)

• For one plant, our energy savings are about 6000 EUR and wear parts savings up to 30 000-40 000 EUR per year, he calculates. • With GP100, we also have a huge capacity reserves available. Today, we produce 120150 metric tons per hour, and need to run the crusher only about two hours per day. In fact this means, that all servicing needed can be done during the normal working hours with no need to costly overtime, Richard Suttner says.

The IC series process steering does most of the job, and all information can be read and executed easily in German language, he adds. As a result with the savings achieved, the company believes to amortize the Metso crushers much quicker than other quarry equipment.

Metso‘s HRC(TM)3000 high-pressure grinding roll is more energy-efficient than traditional HPGR‘s. (Photos: Metso)

he HRC(TM)3000 is the largest fully operating high-pressure grinding roll (HPGR) in the world. It is an energy-efficient comminution solution with an impressive range of industry-leading features, aimed at getting more value from every ton of ore. Mining Magazine has recognized Metso‘s HRC(TM)3000 high-pressure grinding roll with its annual Minerals Processing award. The awards are given out in 11 categories and the winners are nominated by readers. In 2013, Metso‘s innovative Megaliner(TM) mill lining concept won the same award.

and is the result of a close collaboration between Metso and Freeport-McMoRan Inc. The goal was to develop a highly efficient HPGR crushing circuit for the newly constructed Metcalf concentrator at Morenci. Metso‘s solution has provided the Morenci mine with several benefits, including an estimated 13.5% increase in energy efficiency over traditional HPGRs based on pilot scale testing.

Demonstrated efficiency

The HRC(TM)3000 is the first full scale HPGR to incorporate revolutionary design features like the flanged tire design and the patented Arch-frame. Depending on the application, the total capacity of this HPGR can exceed over 5,400 tph of ore.

Energy efficiency is the key to success at modern mines and quarries. The most potential for energy and cost savings can be realized in the comminution process, where ore is ground and crushed into smaller particles. The HRC(TM)3000 started operating at FreeportMcMoRan‘s Morenci copper mine in Arizona in May 2014,

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY to our customer. This HPGR is not only a larger scale version of what was currently available to the market, but also applies technological solutions to overcome some inherent concerns typically associated with traditional HPGRs, including skewing and edge effect, „ says Victoria Herman, Product Manager, HRC(TM) High Pressure Grinding Rolls.

The goal at the Metcalf concentrator was to develop a highly efficient high-pressure grinding roll (HPGR) crushing circuit capable of processing the total plant capacity. In addition, this HPGR would not simply be a larger scale version of what was currently available to the market, but would seek to eliminate some inherent concerns typically associated with traditional HPGRs, including skewing and edge effect.

Building the world’s largest HPGR - the full story

The design concept came to fruition in the Metso HRC™3000, the largest HPGR in the world with a total installed weight of 900 tons. The HRC™3000 includes 3.0 m diameter by 2.0 m wide rolls and a total installed power of 11,400 kW. Depending on the application, the total capacity of this machine can exceed over 5,400 tph of ore.

Metso’s HRC™3000 is a new generation high-pressure grinding roll that eliminates issues found in traditional HPGRs, allowing the mining industry to reach a new level of energy efficiency. Due to diminishing ore grades and rising energy costs, the mining industry has been driven to find more energy efficient solutions. Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FMI) is no exception. In developing their new Metcalf concentrator at the Morenci mine in Arizona, USA, FMI collaborated with Metso to create a revolutionary comminution circuit that challenges traditional expectations.

Aiming for maximum energy efficiency Crushing circuits are known to be more efficient than traditional SAG milling circuits. However, in large operations, crushing circuits tend to have a greater number of lines and are more challenging to operate. On the other hand, SAG milling, while less efficient, tends to be simpler to operate and require less ancillary equipment.

Arch-frame eliminates skewing Prior to the design of the HRC™3000, the Metso design team was tasked with developing an HPGR to meet the specific needs of hard rock mining applications. After a review of the existing technology, it became clear that certain inherent design problems such as roll skewing, edge effect and uneven roll wear needed to be eliminated to ensure the concept was successful. The initial concept of the HRC™ HPGR began with what would become the patented Arch-frame, which mechanically absorbs unbalanced loads in order to eliminate downtime caused by skewing. Skewing is a condition where the axes of the rolls do not stay parallel due to uneven feed distribution. With the HRC™ HPGR, the two sides of the Arch-frame are mounted into the base frame with pins. Hydraulic cylinders at the top of the frame apply the crushing force. The cylinders only need to apply roughly half of the required force at the rolls due to the mechanical advantage of the pivoting Arch-frame. This idea was based on how a nutcracker uses a mechanical lever to multiply the crushing force.

Arch-frame eliminates skewing (Photos: Metso)

Issue 01 | 2016

www.advanced-mining.com

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY In addition to the Arch-frame eliminating downtime caused by skewing, this feature also allows for the use of a flanged roll design. With this design, one roll includes a set of flanges, which are bolted onto the side of the roll. The flanges are designed to combat edge effect, a problem with traditional HPGRs in which comminution is reduced at the edge of the roll. Because the flanges are bolted onto the roll, the flanges move in the direction and speed of the ore and therefore pull material into the crushing zone. This is in contrast to a traditional cheek plate arrangement in which stationary cheek plates are mounted near the edge of the rolls.

to the full bed of material. In the case of the traditional cheek plate design, the total pressure to the system is commonly raised to increase the amount of breakage at the edges of the roll. However, this results in higher pressure being applied to the center of the roll, leading to wasted energy and added wear in the center area of the roll. In addition, the higher localized pressure associated with the cheek plate design needs to be considered when selecting the stud hardness and composition in order to prevent stud breakage. The results of this lab test gave the engineering team the confidence to proceed with the flanged HPGR design on the pilot scale unit.

Flanges enable even pressure distribution

Pilot plant confirms lab findings

Metso performed a series of tests on a lab scale HPGR which was fitted with pressure sensors embedded in the roll. When operating with traditional cheek plates, the pressure at the edges was much lower than the pressure at the center. This corresponds to the region of the roll which would generally produce a coarser product. Conversely, when flanges were installed, a much more consistent pressure profile across the full width of the roll was observed, indicating the full width of the roll is utilized for crushing. It is important to note, that when crushing ore there is an optimum pressure for a given feed. Below this optimum pressure, less breakage will occur, while above the optimum pressure the energy efficiency will decrease. Therefore, it is important to have consistent pressure across the full width of the roll, so that an optimal pressure can be applied

Prior to installation of the HRC™3000, a pilot scale plant was installed at the Morenci Concentrator to use as a proving ground for the HRC™ HPGR. The pilot plant included an HRC™ HPGR with 750 mm x 400 mm rolls, a primary wet screen, and a secondary wet screen. The HRC™ HPGR was fed by the primary and secondary screen oversize. The primary and secondary screen undersize was then transferred to the downstream process. The capacity of the plant varied depending on the circuit configuration, but in most conditions it could process approximately 50 - 70 tph. The F80 to the HRC™ HPGR varied significantly and ranged from 11 mm to +16 mm. A series of twelve process surveys were performed at the pilot plant to better understand how the flanged roll design affects the performance of the HRC™ HPGR circuit. These surveys, identified as the edge effect testing series, showed that in all conditions and pressures, the flanges clearly provided more breakage across the width of the roll and increased the throughput of the HRC™ HPGR relative to a traditional cheek plate HPGR design. On average, the flanges were shown to reduce circuit specific energy by an average of 13.5% and to lower circulating load by approximately 24%, while increasing the specific throughput of the machine by 19%.

www.advanced-mining.com

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY In addition to test the design, the pilot plant testing aimed to provide a better understanding of the performance of the circuit, and to give the plant personnel experience operating and maintaining an HPGR circuit.

From problem-solving to successful installation The HRC™3000’s capacity is approximately double the capacity of the largest preceding HPGR in operation. It was unknown what issues would arise when scaling up to a machine that is over 50 times larger than the design prototype. In order to ensure the proper design of the Archframe, a series of structural analyses were performed prior to the final design of the HRC™3000. While the new machine concept eliminated some traditional HPGR design concerns, it did introduce new design considerations. For example, the interface between the pivoting Arch-frame/roll assembly and the stationary dust enclosure and feed chute needed to be carefully designed. An integrated tramp bypass system was developed in order to eliminate the requirement for additional infrastructure typical of HPGR installations. Installation of the HRC™3000 at the Metcalf concentrator started in September of 2013. For the installation of the HRC™3000, Metso provided the installation crew and field service supervision. This allowed for very close communication between the engineering team and the installation team. The size of the large components needed to be considered for the installation phase of the project. Transporting the shaft from the laydown yard to the Metcalf building required coordination with site personnel to arrange for the use of the truck needed to move the 97 ton component, as well as the use of the overhead crane needed to lift it.

A machine as large as the HRC™3000 requires a significant infrastructure to support it. In multiple cases, the actual dimensions between the structural steel and the machine were different than originally designed. In some cases, the remedy was not a simple solution. For example, when installing the hydraulic cylinders, the amount of room between the steelwork was not enough to install the cylinders as originally planned. A different lifting fixture had to be designed to move the cylinders into place. Moreover, maintenance had to be carefully considered in order to safely access and handle the large components. A 20 ton gantry crane was installed inside the steelwork tower to handle the hopper and feed guide plates. In addition, 0.5 ton robotic arms are used to handle the maintenance for the edge blocks and flange segments.

Promising results The HRC™3000 is to date the largest HPGR ever put into operation. At the time of writing, it has operated for over 11,000 hours. During that time, a total of 46,100,000 tons have been crushed by the HRC™3000 and the HPGR circuit has processed over 30,600,000 tons of ore. The operational benefits of the flanged roll design, first tested on the pilot plant, were shown to exceed predictions on the HRC™3000. Table 1 shows a comparison of the predictions based on the pilot plant surveys versus the actual operating results at the HRC™3000. The higherthan-predicted machine throughput and increased particle breakage resulted in higher circuit capacity and it decreased circuit specific energy. In addition, the flanges have provided an even pressure distribution across the width of the rolls, which has allowed for installation of harder studs and ultimately has increased the life of the rolls.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY Additionally the HRC™3000 provides circuit flexibility compared to a traditional milling circuit. Both the speed and pressure can be changed online to meet the changing needs of the downstream circuit. The pressure can be increased, for example, if the plant is processing a harder ore. The HRC™3000 is capable of running at 30% nominal speed, which effectively reduces its capacity by the same amount. Under normal plant operations, the single HRC™ HPGR feeds two 7.3m (24 ft) ball mills. During times when one of the ball mills is offline, the plant can still operate at reduced capacity by turning down the HRC™ HPGR and feeding only one of the ball mills.

• New Liebherr XPower® wheel loaders can be ordered now for delivery after Bauma 2016 • European market launch at Bauma 2016 with gradual market launch in overseas regions where emission Stage IV / Tier 4f applies • Power-split XPower® driveline installed as standard in new Liebherr large wheel loaders

Munich (Germany), 2016 - The latest XPower® large wheel loaders with emission Stage IV / Tier 4f represent a milestone in the technological history of Liebherr wheel loaders. Due to the wide range of innovations, such as the power-split driveline installed as standard, Liebherr has subjected its new wheel loader generation to much tougher, more thorough and more extensive testing than ever before. Important main components, such as the innovative XPower® driveline and the larger axles, were found to be particularly durable in testing over 70,000 operating hours. The load programme in the test phases included traditional back loading as well as customer-specific special operations.

Issue 01 | 2016

www.advanced-mining.com

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY Liebherr deployed the XPower® test wheel loaders in various quarries, recycling businesses and sawmills. The machines have also been involved in loading slag in a steel plant and coal in a harbour. The positive test results demonstrate that the efforts made by Liebherr to combine fuel efficiency, high performance, durability and comfort in a single wheel loader have achieved their goal over the long term.

Unique efficiency thanks to power-split XPower® driveline Liebherr is installing the power-split XPower® driveline as standard in its large wheel loader series. This ensures power and efficiency in the new Liebherr large wheel loaders. The XPower® power-split transmission performs the same function as the traditional power-split transmission but with a greater level of efficiency. It combines two types of drive: the hydrostatic drive, the most efficient drive in short loading cycles, and the mechanical drive for long distances and driving up gradients. The power-split transmission manages the interaction of the two drive types. It is adjustable and continuously adapts the mixing ratio of the two drive paths without noticeable switching and without interrupting traction power. In this way the power of the wheel loader adapts to the specific requirements of the particular task. A greater hydrostatic

element comes into effect during starting and loading and a greater mechanical element is applied when travelling at higher speeds. Together, the two paths always transfer 100 per cent of the diesel engine power and only the mix ratio of the two paths changes. With its innovative and efficient drive concepts, Liebherr has achieved a high level of efficiency in all areas where wheel loaders are used. The proven Liebherr-PowerEfficiency system (LPE) plays a key role in this. Over a test and development phase lasting several years, Liebherr worked continually to perfect the adaptation of all drivetrain components. The result is that XPower® wheel loaders reduce fuel consumption by up to 30 per cent enabling operators to reduce their operating costs.

High fuel efficiency: XPower® test wheel loaders are economical when rehandling Rehandling a wide range of materials is one of the basic tasks for a wheel loader. This is why LiebherrWerk Bischofshofen GmbH trialled several machines in rehandling tasks. For example, a gravel and crushed stone plant tested an L 580 XPower® with Z-bar linkage and 5.7 m³ bucket. The wet raw material, which the company extracts from a lake using a bucket chain, proved to be a particular challenge.

www.advanced-mining.com

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY With the strengthened Z lift arms providing up to 20 per cent more break-out force, the machine operators lifted the wet material without a problem, and the optimised bucket design offered improved penetration action for the task. The responsiveness of the XPower® driveline was impressive when the loading route had an uphill gradient. The machine operator praised the quiet, comfortable handling and the agility of the wheel loader. At approximately 15 litres of diesel per operating hour, the L 580 XPower® consumes around five litres less than an existing competitor machine undertaking similar activities in the gravel and crushed stone plant. An L 566 XPower® loaded approximately 1,500 tonnes of bulk material in a building materials recycling park. The wheel loader coped with the distances across the large site, which were generally much greater. In doing so, the wheel loader consumed between 14 and 18 litres of diesel. The machine operator was pleased with the level of performance and the comfort. As a senior employee at the recycling park commented, „The thrust force and acceleration of the L 566 XPower® are excellent. The machine is very responsive, but still runs quietly. The large cab is particularly comfortable. The driver‘s seat is great. I can adjust the steering wheel in three ways and the control elements are arranged so that all the information is available at a glance“.

L 586 XPower® takes part in an extended term over 13,700 operating hours The new large wheel loaders have proved their stability during intensive long-term testing. An L 586 XPower® with Z-bar linkage was the front-runner in the endurance test, reliably performing its task of transporting wood chips into a silo for 13,700 operating hours. An L 586 XPower® was selected because the thrust force and break-out force the key requirements for this specific task - were ideally suited, in proportion to the operating weight, to the site requirements. The L 586 XPower® also had a 14.0 m³ light material bucket, which the machine operator was able to use on each cycle to move large volumes of wood chips. The machine was operating almost constantly under a full load. Despite this, fuel consumption remained low thanks to the power-split XPower® driveline. The test wheel loader required 20 litres of diesel per operating hour for the power-intensive task. This equates to a fuel saving of around 30 per cent when compared with the already very economical Stage IIIA / Tier 3 L 586 wheel loader normally used to transport the wood chips. Operations under a full load are where Liebherr customers benefit from the power deployment provided by the interaction of the mechanical and hydrostatic drive paths in the new XPower® driveline. The load is divided

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY across the two drive paths and the components have a significantly longer life as a result. Machine operators can work more efficiently and safely with minimal downtime.

Full power at the quarry face: quarry test for the L 586 XPower® An L 586 XPower®, fitted with a 5.5 m³ rock bucket with Liebherr tooth system, was tested in the quarrying industry by an international cement manufacturer that used it for extraction. Other standard quarrying equipment options, such as a foldable grille for the windscreen, were included on the machine to prepare it for its work at the rock face. The challenging test operation featured routes of up to 400 m and inclines of up to 30 per cent. The benefits of the power-split driveline really came into effect under these conditions. The combination of the hydrostatic and mechanical drive ensures that the wheel loader works efficiently on all operations, even on long routes and up hills. The L 586 XPower® proved this to be the case in this special quarrying task. Despite the enormous load, the test loader only used around 22 litres of diesel per operating hour.

The toughest conditions: robust XPower® wheel loaders working with steel and coal An L 586 XPower® fitted with a 4.5 m³ high-dump bucket, comprehensively reinforced tyres and tyre chains completed a tough test operation. The wheel loader took on the task of removing solidified steel slag at a steel plant. The L 586 XPower® broke into the heavy, bulky and dusty metal slag with full power. The heavy tyre chains, which weighed over 3.5 tonnes, provided the necessary traction. Under this extreme load, the robust axles and the powerful Z lift arm were found to be very durable. The L 586 XPower® was in operation for a total of 9,000 hours in the steel works without any damage to the main components. Liebherr exposed other test wheel loaders to tough conditions. At a harbour terminal, a L 586 XPower® loaded coal using a 10.0 m³ bucket. One of the challenges in this load-and-carry operation was to spread the partially-wet coal. The Liebherr test wheel loader completed its task reliably for over 7,000 operating hours with minimal fuel consumption. During the test, the L 586 XPower® used between 8 and 10 litres less diesel per operating hour than its predecessor, which normally operates in the harbour.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY Versatile XPower® wheel loaders impress in industrial applications Liebherr-Werk Bischofshofen GmbH tested the new wheel loader generation in various industrial applications including working in a paper factory. Here the test machine was an L 556 XPower® with industrial lift arm, 6.0 m³ light material bucket with undercut blade and numerous Liebherr factory-fitted options, including a coarse meshed cooler net and a lint filter to reduce contamination of the cooling system with dust particles.

The test showed that the new Liebherr SCR technology increased operational safety. This simple and extremely effective system for the after-treatment of exhaust gases means that regeneration is no longer necessary and fire risk is reduced to a minimum. This is a significant safety feature in dust-intensive environments such as indoor operation in the paper factory. Another L 556 XPower® with industrial lift arm worked in aluminium scrap recycling. As part of the test’s 3,500 operating hours, several machine operators worked in a threeshift operation with two different attachment tools, which they changed with the aid of a hydraulic quick hitch. As with the paper factory, the space was confined but, thanks to the compact design of the XPower® wheel loader, the machine operators were able to manoeuvre efficiently and perform very well in handling. Liebherr-Werk Bischofshofen GmbH deployed other wheel loaders in recycling tasks. An L 556 XPower® worked in the disposal of slag waste. For this heavy material, which placed considerable demands on the wheel loader, the test customer used a 4.0 m³ high-dump bucket with undercut blade. The robust wheel loader loaded material, formed heaps and fed crushers for a total of 5,000 operating hours over a two-shift operation.

bauma 2016: Trends in the mining sector (Photo: Messe München)

ince 2004, mining and tunneling have been an established and increasingly important part of bauma. The mining sector will present numerous innovations and developments at this year‘s world-leading trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment which will take place in Munich from April 11–17. The companies already unveiled a number of their trends at the bauma Media Dialog in Munich in January.

Trends in the mining sector - Part I The new Certiq machine monitoring system from Atlas Copco Rock Drills AB is now the standard for the company‘s construction and mining machines. The Certiq system is based on telematics, i.e. wireless data transmission. It allows the owners and operators of above and belowground drilling equipment for example to monitor the performance of their machines at any time and from any location. With the real-time data available, owners and operators can optimize their machines‘ equipment to ensure that they achieve maximum productivity and profitability. The Certiq software collects and records a

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY Bell Equipment has complemented its E series generation of articulated dump trucks with a total of four new models. With the current Bell B25E and B30E dump trucks, the new mid-range B35E and B40E models and the new B45E and B50E large dump trucks, Bell continues to focus on the “classic” categories and still offers the world‘s largest 6x6 program. The Bell B35E and B40E models are following the general market trend with considerably higher nominal loading capacities. Bell Equipment has made the step towards EU4/Tier4 final with new six cylinder engines from Mercedes-Benz optimized by MTU for off-road operations. Trackman rubber caterpillar tracks from Continental AG help to ensure safe driving in the construction sector. They resemble closed drive belts with a tread profile on which heavy equipment and traction machines such as transporters or road building machines run. Thanks to the new Armorlug technology, the rubber caterpillar tracks offer even better performance and last longer. A number of layers of material embedded in the drive studs strengthen the material and thus increase its durability. The conveyor belt solutions for the efficient transport of goods are reliable, economical and environmentally friendly too. Visitors to the trade fair will be able to find out about the latest product solutions in the area of inclined conveying, closed belt systems, heat-resistant conveyor belts, energy-optimized transport or lightweight PVC belts. Cummins Inc., Columbus, Indiana, USA, will present the next generation of ultra-clean engines which meet the EU‘s Stage V emissions regulations for construction machines and mining/materials handling equipment which are due to come into force in 2019. The engines which produce anything from 55 to 300 kW not only satisfy the “virtually zero emissions” requirement of the Stage V regulations but also offer an increase in power and torque of up to ten percent. The improvements in engine power for Stage V are achieved thanks to an innovative approach when it comes to combustion, airflow and fuel injection systems which allows Cummins to exploit the full potential of the four-cylinder QSF3.8 and QSB4.5 as well as the six-cylinder QSB6.7 and QSL9—with no increase in cubic capacity. Zetros is a range of HGVs from Daimler AG‘s MercedesBenz brand. They are primarily designed for heavy off-road use. With their conventional bonnet design, they offer very good off-road performance and are low in height. To allow easy maintenance, the engine is accessible without having to tip the driver‘s cab. The Zetros has a long-bonnet design and is available exclusively with permanent all-wheel drive. Its standard wading depth is 800 mm, while 1,190 mm is optionally possible. The Zetros features an OM 926 LA six-cylinder diesel engine with a cubic capacity of 7.2 l and a power output of 240 kW.

Issue 01 | 2016

Engines with Euro3 and Euro5 emissions values are available. The drivetrain has permanent all-wheel drive as well as a transfer case with an off-road gear ratio of 1:1.69. The Zetros comes as standard with a nine-speed manual gearbox. However, it is also available with a fully automatic gearbox from Allison. Construction machines, vehicles and equipment as well as mining machines are the principal applications for engines from Deutz AG. The manufacturer will unveil its newly developed TCD 2.2 diesel and gas engine as well as the established TCD 2.9 in a gas version. With up to 55 kW, the TCD 2.2 is a further option for materials handling and compact construction machine applications in particular. Unusually, the engine will be launched in both a diesel and a liquid gas (LPG or fuel gas) version. The gas version will produce 42 kW and is an innovation within Deutz‘s otherwise diesel-driven product range. The TCD 2.2 will go into production in 2019 to coincide with the EU Stage V emissions norm coming into force. All TCD 2.2 and 2.9 models use the same engine platform. This means numerous synergy effects for customers when it comes to integration, for example with regard to connections or the supply of spare parts. With the LF-21H, GHH Fahrzeuge GmbH is launching a high-performance LHD with a 21 t loading capacity. The socalled Efficient Drive System (EDS) was optimized specially for mining applications. The environmentally friendly Deutz engine satisfies the highest EU Stage IV emissions norm, as a result of which the need for underground ventilation is minimized. In addition to the standard version, the LHD is available in various cab versions, thus allowing it to be used even in situations with a roadway height of just 2.5 m. A Z linkage designed for ore mining allows the very highest breakout forces and is designed for loading corresponding dump trucks. The Hazemag Group develops and manufactures machines and other systems for the construction and mining industries. The products and systems are used to prepare and enhance raw materials in the construction industry and to travel underground routes in coal, salt, potash, ore, platinum and diamond mines for example. The Lehigh Cement Company (Heidelberg Cement Group) has ordered a semi-mobile limestone crusher from Hazemag for its Union Bridge site. The system will process up to 2,500 t of limestone per hour—with a feed size of up to 2,000 mm. The material is discharged from a 400 t feed hopper using an HAF 25160 apron feeder. The fines in the feed material are screened at 100 mm using an HRS 2638 roller screen.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY Herrenknecht AG supplies tunneling machines with diameters of 0.10 to 19 m for all geologies worldwide. The company also supplies deep drilling rigs and drilling machines for vertical and inclined shafts. One innovation which is to be presented at bauma is a slant directional drilling (SDD) rig. Slant directional drilling is an alternative drilling technique which allows shallow, conventional or unconventional oil and gas deposits to be exploited. It is a symbiosis of horizontal (HDD) and vertical directional drilling (VDD). While the entry angle with HDD is between eight and 18 degrees, it is 90 degrees with respect to the earth‘s surface with VDD. Deposits at low depths for example can be reached quickly using an angle of 30 degrees, while the angle allows a horizontal deflection for further drilling. Keestrack N.V. will present the new H4 caterpillar mobile cone crusher (35 to 50 t transport weight). At the heart of the model designed for high-quality secondary or tertiary production with a handling capacity of between 120 and 200 t/h is the proven cone crusher technology which was optimized specifically for mobile use. According to Keestrack, the innovative crusher control and monitoring solutions which have a direct influence over the output capacity and product quality are particularly groundbreaking. As the successor to the Galleon range, the Keestrack H4 has a completely new frame design which allows not only highperformance pre- and post-screening equipment but also the use of innovative drive technologies. As a result, the Keestrack H4 is the world‘s first mobile cone crusher to offer a highly efficient three-deck post-screening module with an oversize material recycler for the production of three high-grade end products in one pass. Keestrack is offering a choice of two economical drive combinations: direct diesel drive of the crusher with electrical or electrohydraulic peripherals (conveyors, screen units etc.) or the fully hybrid/“plug-in” version with an electrical crusher drive system powered by an on-board diesel generator or mains electricity. With the Mobicone MCO 11 PRO mobile cone crusher, Kleemann GmbH, a Wirtgen Group company, is heralding the launch of its newly developed PRO Line. It offers quarry operators particularly robust machines for highperformance applications. The machine is driven by a powerful yet economical diesel-electric drive system which allows operation with an external power supply. The cone crusher with a maximum feed capacity of up to 470 t/h is equipped with the innovative Continuous Feed System (CFS) which ensures efficient use of crushing capacity. The MCO 11 PRO is also ideal for use in linked combinations of machines. In addition, the machine can be transported in one piece and can be quickly put into operational position thanks to hydraulic moving machine components.

Kögel Trailer GmbH & Co. KG will present the new Kögel Multi. This versatile trailer is particularly suitable for transporting building materials and for weather-resistant freight. The platform semi-trailer has a reinforced chassis and a semi-trailer load capacity of 15 t to meet the heavyduty requirements in the construction industry. Depending on the application, the trailer‘s aluminum walls can be removed. This makes the Multi ideal for transporting various building materials. In response to customers‘ requirements, Komatsu Mining developed the new PC7000. Komatsu designed the 677 t machine with a view to creating the safest and most efficient large hydraulic excavator in its class. The PC7000 is powered by two 1,250 kW diesel engines and is optionally available with an electric drive system. With its 36 m³ shovel or backhoe bucket, the PC7000 is designed for use in a range of conditions. The PC7000 is tailored to the 240 to 290 t 830E and 860E dump trucks from Komatsu. Drivers will notice the machine‘s improved control system. After all, Komatsu has optimized both the shovel design and the hydraulic system. As a result, the machine can swing around more quickly and the shovel can penetrate the material more easily. To coincide with bauma, Liebherr-International Deutschland GmbH will launch the Liebherr PR 776, the first infinitely variable hydrostatically powered crawler tractor in the 70-ton category. Designed for the most demanding mining and quarrying applications, it is powered by a Liebherr twelve-cylinder diesel engine with a maximum power of 565 kW. It has a maximum operating weight of 74 t and can be equipped with blades with a capacity of 18 m³ (semi-U blade) or 22 m³ (U blade). Thanks to its modern drive concept, the new PR 776 crawler tractor is extremely economical. The infinitely variable hydrostatic drive system which is used in all Liebherr crawler tractors is an innovation in this class of machines. Another advantage of the modern drive concept is the needs-based feed pressure supply. If, for example, the full feed pressure supply is not required during operation, this is automatically returned.

Trends in the mining sector - Part II For mining and gravel extraction operations, MAN Truck & Bus AG is offering the tough and resilient MAN TGS chassis from its WorldWide product family in markets outside Europe. The vehicles are optimized to meet sector requirements: The tandem axle unit on the MAN TGS 33.480 6x6 BB now has a longer wheelbase of 1500 millimeters. This means that large-format 16 R 20 tires can be fitted. If the ground conditions require them, 24 R 20.5 format tires also fit on the tippers. The MAN TGS dumper truck, designed for a gross permitted weight of 33 tonnes, is

Issue 01 | 2016

therefore ideal as an alternative to the articulated dumper which is significantly more expensive to purchase. The MAN TGS WorldWide, designed by the Munich-based commercial vehicle manufacturer, is a truck to cope with challenging road situations as well as extreme climatic conditions such as icy temperatures, snow and extreme heat. The heat retention function, which remains active in neutral, has proven itself in Arctic climatic regions and in frosty winters. It ensures operational capability of the vehicle in temperatures of up to minus 40 °C.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY With the new P450 tippers in the Heavy Duty segment, F. X. Meiller Fahrzeug- und Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co KG has reanimated the “tipper versus dumper” discussion. The new rear tipper superstructure improves performance of the heavy-duty tipper trucks even further, and the new subframe and more roomy tipper body shape lowers the center of gravity of the vehicle, enhancing stability in a targeted manner. With a real volume of 28 cubic meters, these tippers offer the same circulating capacities as dumper concepts and, depending on the routes involved, the trucks really demonstrate their advantages, as their turnaround speed is higher. They can use roads when empty or partially loaded, and a change of location can be realized without any heavy or special transport measures. The i.s.a.r. remote control comes into play for securing tipper loads. It replaces the traditional valve control next to the driver‘s seat and also integrates all auxiliary functions of the tipper operation in one control element. The electric shifting tarpaulin can be opened and closed safely, comfortably and without losing time. The (optional) servo controls, which reduce the number of steps required and practically eliminate the potential for operation errors, are a new feature. MTG, of Premià de Mar, north of Barcelona, has expanded its range of teeth for rope shovels with the new RSS and RSXX tooth designs. These two new designs complete the MTG Systems Starmet range of teeth for rope shovels. The RSS tooth is ideal in tough, high-impact applications, and it is particularly suitable for cases in which the tooth may be subjected to leverage overexertion. The RSXX is specially reinforced with plenty of wear material, making it a highly resistant tooth, perfect for very tough applications with an extreme level of abrasion and very high impact. The two new designs join the existing ones (RS, RSX and EX) and, alongside the MTG Systems StarMet Rope Shovels range of adapters and shrouds, they offer a complete solution for protecting electric rope shovel buckets and they enable the most common lip configurations to be equipped. SBM Mineral Processing GmbH supplies equipment for many stages along the processing chain: for crushing, classifying, conveying, stockpiling, washing and dewatering. The jaw crusher STE 100.60 was newly developed for crushing limestone, granite, building rubble and also slag. The new overload protection function (Gap Release Control) prevents “unbreakable parts” from damaging or blocking the crusher. And the automatic gap adjustment opens the crusher gap so that an unbreakable (metal) part can safely leave the crusher. Afterwards the movable crushing jaw resumes the predefined normal position and the crushing process continues without any further delay.

As well as trucks and engines Scania CV AB will also be showcasing its mining division at bauma. Transport accounts for more than a third of operational mining costs, and this manufacturer is aiming to bring about a positive change in its customers’ bottom line. The mining business faces new and tough challenges with an even stronger focus on cost-efficient solutions and operational excellence. Scania’s focus is on helping mining customers to improve productivity, lower costs, and better manage risks, leading to improved business results. Schäffer Maschinenfabrik GmbH is expanding its construction machinery range by four high-performance wheel loaders with “Z-Kinematics”, with engine outputs varying between 37 kW and 75 kW. One of them is the new 5650 Z, which features a bucket capacity of 0.8 cubic meters and a working weight of 4.5 tonnes and was constructed to meet the high performance requirements. The new wheel loader is equipped with a powerful Kubota engine with 37 kW, a displacement of 2.6 l, and four-valve technology. This machine is the first to feature electric drive control which permits significant increases in efficiency. The electronic support helps to optimally use the engine output and transform it into thrust, which results in reduced fuel consumption. The electronic control furthermore enables several new safety functions, such as overheat protection, which make working with the 5650 Z even more safe and reliable. The maximum lifting height of the new wheel loader is 3.40 m. At up to 2.5 tonnes, the tipping load is likewise very high. The applications of the 5650 Z can be expanded significantly by an optional registration as a tractor unit with towing capacity of up to 6 tonnes and the optional overdrive up to 30 km/h. Technology from Schauenburg Maschinen- und Anlagen-Bau GmbH is in use everywhere where new tunnels are being built, connections created, raw materials extracted and new energy sources opened up. The company´s product spectrum encompasses machinery and equipment for tunneling and special civil engineering applications, and mining. The focus is on systems for slurry treatment. Efficient separation plants are the cornerstone of the successful application of fluid-based soil removal systems for tunneling, microtunneling, HDD and diaphragm wall construction. For the field of mining Schauenburg develops hydromechanical wet-processing systems as a first stage in extracting ores. The ore-containing rock is washed, classified and sorted according to specific weight. This significantly reduces operating costs in the downstream processes.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY Siemens is offering mining companies a gearless drive system for SAG mills with a tube diameter of 42 feet. This enables throughput to be almost doubled in comparison with the 38-foot mills commonly used today. With this innovation, Siemens is responding to the rising demand for larger and more powerful drives in mining. The principal component of the new drive system is a ring motor with a width of 25 meters and a height of 20 meters. The 42-foot ring motor is the centerpiece of the gearless drive and wrapped around the tube mill. An increase in tube diameter means that the mass of the ore being ground rises dramatically, and hence also the strain on structural elements and the motor. During the design of the motor, therefore, all components were subjected to comprehensive and detailed risk analysis. Open-pit hard rock mines extracting iron ore and other materials use monster trucks. The investment costs, fuel consumption and associated CO2 emissions are immense. With its Integrated Skip Conveying And Crushing System, ThyssenKrupp Resource Technologies offers a sustainable and cost-effective alternative. Unlike in truck haulage, where not only the payload but also the deadweight of the truck has to be moved, the Integrated Skip Conveying And Crushing System only uses energy to transport the payload. The reason for this lies in the special design of the system, which ensures that the deadweights of the skips balance each other out. Two skips are connected by a common rope sheave drive system and can convey a complete truck load on rails from the loading station to the crusher at the top of the mine, using the shortest possible route over gradients of up to 75 degrees. Further transportation of the material from the crusher can then be carried out efficiently by belt conveyors. The new 55-tonne capacity A60H from Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) meets growing customer demand for articulated haulers with larger capacities. More than half of the articulated haulers sold globally by all manufacturers today are within the Volvo A40 size class. The Volvo A60H’s higher payload—a 40% increase on Volvo’s A40 models— significantly lowers the cost-per-tonne ratio for hauler customers. The new size also offers a viable alternative to rigid dump trucks and construction trucks operating on soft, uneven or steep roads, allowing a similar amount of material to be hauled in a shorter cycle time. Using articulated haulers also reduces the level of maintenance required for haul roads on the jobsite, further improving profitability.

Good stability, comfort and high hauling speeds are ensured by the matched drivetrain, automatic drive combinations (including 100% differential locks), all-terrain bogie, hydro-mechanical steering and active suspension. In December 2013 the Zeppelin Group took over sales and servicing of the mining machinery of Caterpillar Global Mining. Coal is extracted underground in a process of longwall mining. The longwall mining equipment includes safety shields, the extraction machine and the chain scraper conveyor for transporting away the released coal. In cutting extraction the shearer loader with two cutting rollers is used. With low seam heights the coal is pared off using a drag hook plow or a Gleithobel plow. The armored face conveyor serves as the guide for the extraction machines. To keep the conveying space open and the workplace safe for the miners, safety shields are used. At bauma Zeppelin will be presenting the GH 800 plow system. This is being presented together with three safety shields from RAG Anthrazit Ibbenbüren. The Cat tunneling excavator 328DLCR from Zeppelin Baumaschinen GmbH has a specially designed boom and a tail swing radius of just 1.90 m. The boom is optimized for European tunnel profiles and for low working heights, enabling the excavator to achieve an advance of 2.30 m at a working height of 5.50 m. That means it is the only 43-tonne tunneling excavator which operates in the space taken up by a 27tonne machine, but it can advance much faster, thanks to its higher power. Because it takes up less space, this means the tunnel profile can be reduced, thus reducing material volumes and making tunnel construction easier. MORE Information unDer www.bauma.de

In the field of instrumentation, Continental is expanding its product range and will present two new solutions at bauma: MultiViu Compact 4 is Continental‘s new primary instrumentation for construction machinery. The 4.3-inch screen shows vehicle information such as speed and fill levels, and sends it to the Smartphone via the Bluetooth module. With its modern design, the display is robust, water- and vibration-resistant, and even legible under conditions of intense solar radiation thanks to its particularly bright screen. The dial-type gauges from the SingleViu family will also celebrate their premiere. The single instruments to display the temperature, tank, or engine speed will be available on the market in three different diameters from 2017 onwards. They have both an analog as well as a CAN input, are particularly resistant thanks to their mineral glass pane, and do not cloud over.

The new telematics solution ContiFlexBox keeps fleet managers, drivers, and the maintenance team constantly informed about relevant tire- and vehiclerelated data. In combination with the tried-and-tested ContiPressureCheck™ tire pressure monitoring system, it facilitates the efficient management of vehicle fleets. The system informs the user when the tire pressure has to be corrected. Vehicle downtimes are thus reduced as the danger of tire damage is minimized, and the outlay for regular, time-consuming maintenance work is lessened. This increases the fleet‘s efficiency and lowers the operating costs. The ContiFlexBox is installed in a vehicle‘s driver‘s cab, and supplied with energy via the engine ignition. The ContiPressureCheck™ tire pressure

close to the engine allows the catalytic converters to respond quickly as the temperatures are higher and detected earlier. This, in turn, leads to efficient exhaust system cleaning â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and is one of the requirements for high turnover rates in the SCR system. With a high quality in AdBlue injection and mixing with the pre-cleaned exhaust gases, diesel engines can be operated as sparingly as possible, and thus in a fuel-saving, particle-free way.

High-activity catalytic converters and efficient SCR systems for low emissions Most vehicle manufacturers use exhaust system cleaning technology for Stage IV of the emission legislation for non-road mobile machinery currently in force. This technology eliminates nitrogen oxide and particles in the exhaust system with SCR systems by injecting urea (AdBlueÂŽ). Continental offers, among other things, highactivity oxidation catalytic converters installed close to the engine in such vehicles. The compact installation location

60 years experience in the track construction sector, the company has considerable experience and were one of the founders of some of the most innovative technology for track construction sites. The Telestack Low Feeder range is available in a series of designs and hopper capacities depending on feeding equipment and production rates on site and allows the operator to directly discharge from wheel loaders/ grab cranes and excavators at a significantly lower feed in height compared to standard hopper feeders. The unique design of the hopper allows for rear feeding which can be beneficial when operating in constrained areas. The TC424 Tracked Conveyor has been sold to Telestack’s partner in South Germany, Jürgen Kölsch GmbH. As well as stockpiling aggregate, this particular unit has been tailored

for use in a recycling application. Typically operating on inner-city sites working after an impact crusher, this unit is fitted with an overband magnet to extract ferrous metals and discharge to one side using the cross belt magnet. By using the TC424, the operator also removes the need for use of pay loaders to constantly remove material from the crusher discharge conveyor. Less handling ultimately means more profit which is an essential advantage of the unit! The TCL431 Tracked Conveyor, sold to the Telestack partner in North Germany, Christophel GmbH, is one of Telestack’s core products. With a heavy-duty lattice design, the TCL431 has discharge heights of up to 13m (43ft), has 1,000mm belt (40” belt) and a hydraulic folding head and tail section. Also available in a radial version, the Telestack TCL range is designed to maximise stockpile volume.

Telestack however manufacture up to 31m (105ft) tracked conveyors, increasing the stockpile capacity by over 82% to almost 3,900 tonne capacity. The radial 31m version can achieve capacities of up to 20,000 tonne. There is no doubt that 2016 will be an exciting year for Telestack. Having recently combined the experience and knowledge that Telestack has gained in material handling over the past number of decades, the Telestack AggStack® range of entry level radial telescopic stackers, radial fixed length stacking conveyors, truck unloaders, hopper feeders and link conveyors were formalised that were positioned on functionality, strength, performance and price point. The AggStack® series brings together a range of equipment into one product group, while offering different options to enhance the functionality of each unit, in line with the application. Commenting on his recent purchase of an AggStack® TS532 Radial Telescopic Conveyor, Alexander Draeger, Managing Director for Christophel GmbH, the Telestack dealer based in Lübeck North Germany, said: “This is a really key gap in the aggregate market now filled by the Telestack AggStack® range. We received the TS-532 AggStack® Radial Telescopic unit in June 2015, and the appetite for this unit in the marketplace is apparent. Its durability, functionality and production rates are really reassuring and I can already tell that this range will sell well in our market. Although it is an entry level unit, you can still add options so that it meets your specific needs. Overall, the customer is really happy with this unit and we are looking forward to additional sales in 2016.”

In addition Telestack also plan to showcase an impressive range of equipment at the forthcoming Hillhead exhibition ranging from Radial Telescopic Conveyors, Tracked Conveyors, Hopper Feeders as well as the launch of the Telestack Static Truck Unloader. The static Truck Unloader is a fixed bulk reception feeder used primarily in aggregate, cement and shiploading applications and is an exciting addition to the Telestack product range.

NEWS & REPORTS Powerscreen® Warrior 1400XE Electrically Driven Screen

Powerscreen® Premiertrak 600 Jaw Crusher

The Warrior 1400XE has been designed to meet the needs of customers for whom electricity is a preferred power source and opens up the possibility to run the machine indoors. It can be powered by electricity generated by other Powerscreen models eg. the Premiertrak 600. The Warrior 1400XE builds on the success of the standard Warrior 1400X model with its single shaft, high amplitude 3.6m x 1.25m (12’ x 4.5’) screenbox and the chassis riser option giving excellent stockpiling capacity. It also has several important service and maintenance features including the Powerscreen “Stay-Clean” system under the feeder and a jack-up screen system allowing easy access for screen media changes. Depending on feed material the output capacity for this machine is up to an impressive 500 tph (551 US tph.)

The ground-breaking Powerscreen® Premiertrak™ 600 is a high performance primary jaw crushing plant which is easy to set up, versatile and engineered for quarrying, demolition and mining applications that require high production capabilities. At the heart of the Premiertrak 600, is a 1200mm x 820mm (47” x 32”) modern jaw chamber incorporating a robust construction with many userfriendly features, such as a fully hydraulic CSS range of 75mm - 200mm, (3” – 8”) and a reversing system to clear blockages quickly for increased uptime. The aggressive stroke and high inertia flywheels ensure high production rates and excellent reduction ratios.

The main benefit of the Warrior 1400XE is the variety of power options available. It can be self-powered with its own 72kVA generator, or be connected to a mains electricity supply for even further reductions in cost of ownership. For customers who understand the advantages of a packaged solution, the Warrior 1400XE can also be powered from an electric drive crusher with a barely noticeable effect on the crusher fuel consumption. This has the added benefit of eliminating the engine maintenance on the Warrior. Similarly in regions of the world where we need to operate in high altitude or in high ambient temperatures, the Warrior 1400XE can be powered as part of a machine train from a single genset which can be oversized to handle any de-rating caused by the operating environment.

The machine can produce up to 600 tph (661 US tph) and has a proven track record of excellent performance by crushing some of the hardest rock in the world with ease in Finland, Sweden and Germany. Underlining the ease of set-up Ed O’Donohue, an operator in Ireland said, “When the machine first arrived, we were hugely impressed with the modern design and robust construction. For a machine in that class range at more than 70 tonnes, we expected it to be quite complicated to set up and get operational, but in fact the opposite was true. The machine was crushing within minutes of being tracked off the transport truck!”

There are many other scenarios where this machine will be seen as the right solution. For example, the Warrior 1400XE is more suited to running indoors than a conventional dieselhydraulic machine and the extremely low noise levels will also be advantageous in many circumstances.

The company set a true milestone with its very first self-developed machine in 1996: the world’s first directly loadable track-mounted screening plant had an impressive high level of on-site mobility, high flexibility in feed material and a high level of reliability in harsh building site or quarrying conditions, setting standards for mobile processing that still apply today. At the same time, the compact concept was also the blueprint for the further development of Keestrack screening technology. Today’s programme comprises a total of eight well-structured coarse-screening and production-screening plants with hourly capacities of up to 800 t/h, which since 2001 have been produced at the Keestrack Group’s own factory in Šternberk in the Czech Republic. Moreover, the constant expansion of its own construction capacity accelerated the development of the Keestrack mobile crushing unit. The first track-mounted Destroyer impact crusher unit in 2004 marked the company’s entry

Issue 01 | 2016

into the crusher segment – the acquisition of Italian jawcrusher specialist OM and the launch of Keestrack’s first cone crusher boosted the development of a crosstechnology range of crusher units from 2010. In doing so, OM’s product range was fundamentally revised, in particular with respect to material feed, transport weights and ease of operation. Innovative power units and efficient add-on screening units render third generation crusher units even more efficient, and the new, optimised cone crushers also mean that Keestrack has a strong position among the leading suppliers in the international mobile crusher market. In 2015 the sales of crusher units was the first time they exceeded the sales of screening units in Keestrack’s overall turnover.

Everything from a single source Keestrack is managed centrally from its Belgian headquarters in Munsterbilzen and employs a total of around 600 manufacturing staff at three sites: its European factories in Šternberk and Ponzano Veneto and (since 2007)

its Chinese branch in Anhui. All factories have their own construction departments and achieve high production depths, even transcending pure steel construction. “This enables us to achieve very high levels of flexibility in development, production planning and final output,” Kees Hoogendoorn explains the quite unusual approach of these time-dependent outsourced engineering services, investment-optimised external production and lean final assembly activities. “We simply have shorter development cycles, assisting our own highly-qualified manufacturing specialists to achieve market readiness even sooner,” Mr Hoogendoorn explains one of the advantages that helped Keestrack, for example, to realise the very shortterm introduction of its successful Stacker range of trackmounted stockpile conveyors with ranges of up to 23 metres.

This also translates naturally into the ongoing further development of existing model series: “In today’s trackmounted range of machines of working weights of up to 60 tonnes, we are a clear leader in the integration of low-emission, hybrid or all-electric power units. And not just with high-priced showcase models, but also across all performance classes with proven series technology, geared to our customers’ good business practice,” Kees Hoogendoorn says. In addition to the early introduction of low-consumption load-sensing hydraulic modules in all of

NEWS & REPORTS Keestrack’s mobile diesel driven units (ECO FS), five series of screener units and two crusher models with hybrid or all-electric drive units ECO EP or EP+ are already available today. “Today’s machine options have developed much further than easily achievable on-top retrofits. Someone investing in a new machine will expect a tailor-made solution at economically favourable conditions and timely delivery. This can only be achieved reliably and cost-effectively ex works,” Kees Hoogendoorn describes the exceptionally versatile ‘customizing’ options for Keestrack’s customers. All models actually offer comprehensive lists of options, which besides the usual ‘extras’, such as radio remote control, dust suppression or lighting systems also include items that can be used to adapt the machine in question precisely to the production cycle and specifications. This particularly includes XXL charge hoppers, extended stockpile conveyors or modified screening geometries: “In extreme cases, will we discuss with the customer how to configure a machine on the basis of the basic model, and this machine will far exceed the original capacity levels under the specific operating conditions,” Mr Hoogendoorn explains. For example, Keestrack supplied emissionsoptimised coarse screening plants, which as the results

Issue 01 | 2016

of considerable modifications (greater screening pitches, efficient screening drive etc.) now achieve a peak performance of 1200 t/h while prescreening defined quarry material (original: approx. 600 t/h).

Global partnerships Of course, this strategy demands a high level of sales and service competence that Keestrack can guarantee thanks to its own operations in the large market regions of Europe, North America and East Asia, thanks in particular to a fine network of more than 65 partners in approx. 46 countries around the world. “In addition to a major presence in their respective market, we expect our partners to provide rapid and reliable support to our customers, who are actually operating our equipment as their key machines,” Kees Hoogendoorn summarises the preconditions for Keestrack’s many dealer partnership, some of which have spanned many years.

Keestrack Keestrack differentiates from other suppliers by its innovations, click here to read everything about the difference Keestrack can make to reduce your costs. Since 1988 Keestrack designs and produces mobile screening and crushing equipment in-house. The complete production process is privately owned. Quality, innovation, flexibility and after sales support play a central role and Research and Development ensures that Keestrack keeps up with the expectations of its customers. Keestrack listens to our dealers and customers. By doing this we use their experience and knowledge to build machines that are recognized as market leaders in quality and performance all over the world. We comply with all European legislation so our machines has as little impact on the environment as possible. Keestrack was, as you probably know, the first with direct feed screens and even today the competition cannot match the results we have with this concept. The original Keestrack concept is today’s industry standard.

Issue 01 | 2016

Because of this concept the application fields have increased because the screen can be used as a prescreen for rough material or as a precision screen for fines. After the development of the Frontier, the Keestrackteam completed the range of screeners with the compact but top performing Combo, then the heavy duty Novum and finally the Explorer range. The Destroyer range of mobile impact crushers has been expanded with the compact Destroyer 1011. This compact impact crusher with after screen weighs under 30 metric tons. After the acquisition of OM in 2010, Keestrack has a complete range of jaw crushers in its product range. During spring 2011 Keestrack presented its first mobile cone crusher the GALLEON.

Keestrack is presenting a representative cross-section of its full product range at Bauma 2016 in the form of six crushing and screening units deployable in mobile processing technology for recycling applications and aggregate production (OpenAir Area North, Stand 817/2). This includes current versions of proven models as well as brand new plants by which the international manufacturer is showcasing even more innovative solutions, aiming to set new standards in the mobile sector.

Redefining mobile processing A high level of mobility on-site and between deployments, considerable ease of operation and maintainability and superior cost-effectiveness have for many years been the guiding principles in cross-technology development of mobile processing technology at Keestrack. Long and rugged crawler track units and statically optimised frames and superstructures facilitate rapid and simple positioning or implementation of the fundamentally support-free operating crushing and screening unit. Especially in the medium output range between 250 and 300 t/h with frequently changing construction-site deployments, Keestrack plants lie primarily within transport weights

and dimensions not requiring authorisation, guaranteeing operators good machine performance thanks to a high level of flexibility and low transport costs. All Keestrack machines are finished to a high degree (including powder lacquering) and the sophisticated inclusion of sensitive components, such as extensive steel casing for all hydraulic circuits. Daily maintenance, machine adjustment or troubleshooting are facilitated by easily accessible service points or specific pivoting/lifting devices on belts or transfer points. Modern, specially adapted Relytec-SPS systems control and monitor all operating functions reliably. Keestrack is now offering the option of GSM/UMTS-supported remote monitoring with

NEWS & REPORTS

GPS satellite positioning for all its machines, permitting realtime access to the machine data and functions. Keestrack’s own web portal enables the convenient management of machine and location data and the operational recording of operating sites (geofencing). Keestrack’s offering of economically efficient and environmentally friendly alternative drives are currently state of the art in the segment of track-mounted processing technology of up to 60 tonnes: Today, a total of 7 series of crushers, screeners and track-mounted stockpile conveyors have modern “ECO FS” diesel drives with efficient load-sensing hydraulic modules for power units and crusher functions. According to Keestrack, these potential fuel savings of approx. 30% over conventional drives. Currently 5 screening plants, 2 stockpile conveyors and 2 crushing plants are also available in a diesel-hybrid “ECO-EP” version with a diesel generator and electrical operating gear, or in an “ECO-EP+” version with an additional mains connection (“plug-in”). While the fuel savings of the ECO-EP package compared to conventional machines are approx. 53% (internal vs. ECO-FS: approx. 33%), the ECO-EP+ machines save up to 79% in all-electric operational mode compared to conventional diesel-fuelled machines (vs. ECO-FS: 70%).

If the clearly lower maintenance costs compared to diesel drives are factored into this, the moderate additional costs of the ECO-EP drive packages will pay for themselves very rapidly – particularly as the flexibility of all plants as a result of which the potential on-board diesel drive is not diminished. Keestrack is now also taking the constant expansion of its model offering in mobile processing technology into consideration with a new model nomenclature, to be launched at Bauma 2016. Instead of the traditional model names, a transparent system of letters and numbers, referencing individual product families and suitable machine combinations within the Keestrack offering reflects their capacity. In that light, the code for track-mounted jaw crusher is now “S”, and the family of crushers are categorised by jaw crusher “B”, cone crusher “H” and impact crushers “R”. The designations of the mobile screening plants will switch to “C” for heavyduty screening units and “C” for the Keestrack productionclassification units.

NEWS & REPORTS Crushing in all performance levels Keestrack will be presenting proven mobile crushers at Munich as well as in particular further development and new high-end high-capacity large-scale models and the production of high-quality end-products. With transport weights of less than 30 tonnes, jaw crusher Keestrack B2 (former Argo) with a jaw width of 1000 mm and the crusher unit Keestrack R4 (former Destroyer 1011) with add-on screener and oversize material recycler again set industry standards in compact performance and/or high flexibility and efficiency with the most diverse of source materials. This also applies to the Keestrack R8 top crusher unit(former Destroyer 1313), that is presented at Munich as a highly productive mobile solution in the output range of 450 t/h. As is the case for all Keestrack crusher units, the heavy construction of the 1250 mm wide rotor of the R8 and its four impact bars (diameter: 1267 mm, weight: approx. 6100 kg) and a specifically larger crushing chamber for high crushing capacities at a very smooth operation and a long service life of the tools. The standard active doubledeck pre-screening with crusher bypass optimises the crushing result and minimises wear and tear. The machine with a double-deck add-on screening unit and oversizegrain recirculating conveyor will also be presented in Munich. The optional equipment permits the production of three final grains via conventional removable screening media. Large-scale screening surfaces (each of which are 4500 x 1500 mm) and widely projecting stockpile conveyors help avoid frequently occurring bottlenecks of bolted-on

Issue 01 | 2016

screeners that are too small, leading to markedly declining production rates. As one of the few manufacturers in this performance segment, Keestrack is offering the approx. 70 tonne R8, with a hinged four-axle dolly for transporting the similarly compact large machine by trailer (transport width: 3.00 – 3.20 m; length 16.70 – 17.80 m; height: 3.67 m (including dolly: 4.00 m) in the 49.5 tonne basic version – with all the add-on options, including an overbelt magnet. Keestrack is announcing its new track-mounted cone crusher H4 (transport weight 35 - 50 t) as the first of its kind in the world. At the heart of the model designed for highvalue secondary or tertiary production in the 120 - 200 t/h performance range is the proven cone crushing technology of a world-renowned supply partner, with whom we are working closely to optimise our machines for deployment in mobile situations. According to Keestrack, a pioneering factor has been the advanced solutions in crusher control and monitoring systems, directly impacting output capacity and product quality. As the successor to the Galleon series, the Keestrack H4 was given a completely new frame design, enabling the incorporation of efficient pre and post-screening units but also the use of innovative drive technologies. For example, the Keestrack H4 is the world’s first mobile cone crusher with a highly efficient three-deck post-screening module with an oversize material recycler for the production of three high-grade end products in one pass. Keestrack is offering a choice of three economical drive combinations: Direct diesel drive of the crusher with Higher above: Like the Keestrack K4, compact heavy-duty screening unit Novum also represents the highest level of efficiency in the 30-tonne class.

Highly flexible screening technology The new Keestrack C8 track-mounted large-scale screening unit with expansion-shaft screening technology was first presented some months ago at Belgium’s Matexpo trade fair, and is now featuring for the first time at Bauma. The specially adapted BIVITEC technology from Austrian development partner Binder + Co. guarantees in combination with the large screening surfaces of the double screening unit (2x 6000 x 1900 mm) and a very broad area of application in the economic recycling of various waste materials (glass, wood, slag etc.), the processing of materials difficult to screen that have high basic moisture levels, or in the production of large volumes of standard mineral products (up to 600 t/h). By providing different versions of the double screening unit – upper/lower deck: Flip-Flow or upper deck: Circular vibratory screen, bottom deck: Flip-Flow – it is possible to process, for example minimum grain sizes of < 2 mm efficiently. If the linings in the upper-deck circular vibratory screen are changed, the unit can also be directly deployed behind a crusher or for the processing of hot materials (slag, substances containing tar etc.). The transport weight of the Keestrack K8 is 45.4 tonnes (B x H during transport: 3.20 x 3.60 m) including the 12 m³ feed hopper, overband magnet (option) and two

side belts. Rapid on-site set-up times make even shorterterm construction-site deployments of the efficient largescale machine worthwhile. The comprehensive Keestrack range of track-mounted heavy-duty screening machines will be represented in Munich by the Keestrack K4 (former Novum). With a 4200 x 1500 mm double screen box, the compact machine offers one of the largest screening surfaces on the 30-tonne class and processes up to 200 t/h. As with all Keestrack machines, the K4 can be adapted to individual customer requirement, making it an economical solution for the sorting/grading of recycling materials or the production of defined grain sizes at building sites or in extraction operations. The new mobile Keestrack D6 drum screen for organic application will also be presented for the first time at Bauma 2016.

NEWS & REPORTS The bucket crusher from HARTL stands out for highest throughput and best shape of produced end material. The unique Quattro movement of the jaw crusher, fitted with an up thrust toggle system, provides and guaranties an overall performance, which is second to none. The main advantages can be shortly summarized as follows: Most important is that through the motion the to be crushed material is already cracked in the upper area of the jaw crusher. This means bigger blocks can be taken and are crushed in a downward direction into the chamber – compared to industry standard down thrust toggle jaw crushers. The special motion (like a figure 8) is giving the crusher a better throughput in the middle area and a kind of secondary crushing in the lower area providing an excellent cubical shape of the end material. Independent screen analyses confirm HARTL a bad shape content of only 6%, which means that all global regulations and quality standards are fulfilled with only one time crushing! Beside this, only premium components like SKF bearings, Parker hydraulic and central lubrication system, SAE hydraulic connections, etc. are built in. Hardox steel is standard. Constant quality control during all manufacturing steps grant for highest manufacturing standards! All finished products are obliged to go on a two hour test run on a special designed test rig where bearing temperature, oil flow, greasing, vibrations etc. are measured. Only after this procedure the products are allowed to leave the factory and be delivered to customers. The bucket screener from HARTL show a strong and robust design to make them suitable for hardest applications in prescreening as well as final separation. The absolute win in the design is the wide entry area with the optimized storage possibility for maximum load volumes. Material can therefore be stored and with short moves constantly feed into the screener drum. This is increasing the performance, as swivel time is heavenly reduced. Also a drop out and fall back of bigger material is prevented with this unique design.All screen meshes are changeable and fast replaced when needed. The early 2015 launched HSP3300 screen plant from HARTL stands out with its compact transport dimensions, stable structure and high throughput combined with low running cost and space requirements. This compact screen plant fits in a 20ft container and is built up within an

hour. It can be used in natural stone processing as well as in the classification and refinement of recycled materials with 3 and up to 4 finished fractions. Last but not least, HARTL is announcing to present its latest and patented development at this BAUMA - but will keep it top secret till the show starts. Dominik and Alexander Hartl: “Our new solution will change the way of mobile crushing and screening for the next decades! The world market launch is at BAUMA and we are proud to say that this will be the greatest invention since our family has introduced the track mounted crusher solution in 1986 – so come and see us in Hall B2 Stand 226 and get ready for the unexpected!”

THE NEW “SILENT GENERATION OF MASTIC ASPHALT MIXERS” IS FAR AHEAD OF ITS TIME

onstantly increasing requirements for the reduction of noise emissions as well as health and safety regulations necessitate innovative solutions. While the general consensus is that mastic asphalt technology has remained unchanged for years, this new development will come as a surprise.

The background

Strategy

“All mastic asphalt mixers are the same,” said a customer and complained that this was increasingly leading to problems. Residents near construction sites and inner-city asphalt mixing plants as well as employees were complaining about noise which led to the involvement of local employers‘ mutual insurance associations. We all know the results! In future, it will no longer be permitted to transport mastic asphalt with conventional mastic asphalt mixers inside towns and on nighttime construction sites. The challenge was to build a mastic asphalt mixer with a diesel unit that does not keep on “rattling”.

Recreating a mastic asphalt mixer with a vertical agitator, an electric chain drive and hydraulics with conventional technology was not the idea, however, so the following objectives were clearly defined: We develop, design and manufacture a mastic asphalt mixer with horizontal agitator, direct electric drive, electric tilt function, electric fill cover, electrically heated discharge chute and oil burner technology without any hydraulics. The primary objective is to achieve a low acoustic pressure level, but there is also a focus on the environmental aspect. After initial puzzlement, some clever people used innovative thinking to turn the unthinkable into reality and the idea was put on paper in 3D. After the concept design and successful implementation of the drive, the control was also tackled.

In fact this requirement can only be met with an electric drive. Several innovative mastic asphalt companies have already attempted this, modifying a mastic asphalt mixer with a vertical agitator by adding a power generator and an electric motor to drive the chain.

Issue 01 | 2016

www.advanced-mining.com

NEWS & REPORTS The engineers worked with enormous enthusiasm. Designers, software developers, technicians and developers designed a sensational mastic asphalt mixer which is far ahead of its time!

Facts The mastic asphalt mixer was finished after a development time of 6 months. Not only the design is right, but also all aspects with regard to the employers‘ mutual insurance association, such as fall protection, ergonomics and ecology, were in place. The mastic asphalt mixer of type GKL SILENT was born!

Result The GKL SILENT is the innovation in mastic asphalt technology. The omission of all hydraulic components and the use of an extremely quiet power generator, which supplies the drive with electricity to direct and continuously drive the agitator, create a working environment which permits all tasks in sensitive areas. With an acoustic pressure of 60 dB at 7 m, the noise emission is the same as from a TV at moderate volume. This allows working on nighttime inner-city construction sites, in the area of hospitals, residential areas or public spaces. But the GKL Silent is not only quiet: Other optional accessories, such as a heated discharge door, central lubrication, an electric fill opening, etc., make this mastic asphalt mixer a benchmark and create added value for the operating company.

Another milestone is the newly developed control cabinet concept. Robust and fully computer-controlled, the GKL Silent is operated from a touchscreen. All data are shown in plain text, are saved and can be read out live from the Webfleet Portal and printed for subsequent archiving. This fully meets the future certification requirements for transport. The mixer is equipped with a pre-heating program for gentle operation which reduces the strain on the empty mixer during morning operation of the mixing plant. The GKL Silent is available in the sizes 3.3 m³ to 10 m³ and can be installed on suitable HGVs, trailer beds, articulated trailers, etc.

ENGINEERING AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL RAP IN COUNTERFLOW â&#x20AC;&#x201C; THE SOLUTION FOR THE FUTURE!

he asphalt industry is continuously looking for better solutions of optimising the processes within asphalt mixing plants. One essential approach is to increase the volume of reclaimed asphalt added to all formulations. Parallel flow recycling drums are in operation worldwide today in all sizes and capacity levels. This technology has proven successful over decades and has undergone continuous further development by the plant manufacturers.

exhaust gas temperature compared to the product temperature as well as the resulting high emission values and the increased energy consumption have prompted us to take a completely new approach.

But any concept, no matter how good, eventually reaches its limits. This is also the case for heating reclaimed asphalt in a parallel flow process where the material flows in the same direction as the heat generation. The exhaust emissions of this process limit the outflow temperatures to 130 Â°C.

Heating recycling material in counterflow The recycling material is now heated in counterflow. That means that the material flows against the heat source in the drum. This achieves higher material temperatures while lowering the exhaust gas temperature.

The physical properties of parallel flow drying and the corresponding negative properties such as the higher

Issue 01 | 2016

NEWS & REPORTS The burner automatically moves forwards and backwards on its chassis, depending on the operating condition. Afterwards a partitioning element moves in or out. This procedure was developed especially to prevent damage to the components inside the burner after shutting off the firing. Without this partitioning, the burner would not be protected from the chimney effect and the resulting hot air rising from the RAP dryer drum. When the burner is restarted, the partition moves out and the entire unit moves back into the operating position. (Photo: Benninghoven GmbH & Co. KG)

The outflow temperature of 160 Â°C corresponds to the further processing temperature while the exhaust temperature is above the dewpoint at about 100 Â°C. Positive effect for the white material: The material no longer has to be run overheated which results in a clear energy reduction.

Parallel drum with counterflow action with hot gas generator (Photo: Benninghoven GmbH & Co. KG)

The entire process is only possible with the use of a hot gas generator as direct firing would burn the recycling material and make it unusable. Burner, hot gas generator, dryer drum, separator cover and circulating air system are precisely balanced. The burner supplies the heat energy required for drying and heating the recycling material. It burns into the hot gas generator where the flame is intensively mixed with the circulating air, also in counterflow. The RAP material is therefore heated only indirectly through the hot air â&#x20AC;&#x201C; emission values are below the standard range. In the drum, the RAP material is heated gently in counterflow across the length of the drum which in turn cools the gases. The material heated to the final temperature is transported directly into one of the two storage silos. There it is conveyed across a weighing station and fed into the mixer. The cross section of the exhaust hood is large enough to make the exhaust gases rise up very slowly, taking along the smallest possible amount of fine particles. The separated particles drop into a collecting trough and are fed into the drum outlet from there. This maintains the

onstruction sites can be handled flexibly and with maximum efficiency thanks to the intelligent concept of the new mobile asphalt mixing plant type MBA 2000 with 5-fold screening as a standard. The plant can be set up or taken down within a very short time and is therefore quickly available at changing project sites.

Mobile system types are predestined for construction sites with limited time frames as well as for regions without extensive system availability. They are simply mounted on mobile steel foundations and move to the next construction sector together with the mobile construction site. Mobile mixing plants can be set up close to the construction site which provides a constantly high quality of the asphalt. All sections of this plant are already completely prewired and equipped with pipes at the factory, greatly facilitating handling on site. The concept allows customers independent commissioning of the plant utilising their own operating personnel.

Issue 01 | 2016

FLEXIBLE AND POWERFUL

The mobile asphalt mixing plants are simply mounted on mobile steel foundations which only require a compacted gravel surface for the entire setup area. The short installation time allows asphalt production to take place close to the construction site. The low logistics cost due to mobile transport on standard trailers with road approval are another advantage. This allows the plant to be transported worldwide by road.

www.advanced-mining.com

NEWS & REPORTS Mixers from 1.25 to 3 t are used for the available capacities with mixing outputs between 100 and 240 t/h. This flexibility allows homogeneous asphalt to be produced not only in large volumes but also in small batches up to 500 kg without any problems. The new mobile asphalt mixing plant MBA 2000 is equipped with 5-fold screening as a standard. This allows standards and formulation requirements in different countries across the world to be met without any problems. The new MBA also offers uncomplicated modular extension of components, e.g. the option of adding recycling material. This allows the customer to add up to 25 % recycling material, depending on the base material.

SUSTAINABLE AND ECONOMICAL As all Benninghoven plants, the MBA features high quality, low maintenance components with a long service life which meet any market and environmental requirements. The thermal insulation of the components in the heated section is exemplary, as is the energy consumption. This contributes to the optimisation of the environmental aspect and of health and safety while increasing cost efficiency. In addition to the high quality materials of the components, the wearing plates are also designed for a long service life and precisely adapted to the severe conditions such as hard stone and thermal loads. This ensures constant functioning at all times and the plants can easily provide maximum performance.

The control of the MBA (BLS 3000) features simple, intuitive operation, a very clear structure and perfectly realistic virtualisation. All functions and operating elements of the process control system are displayed clearly in the computer animation and controlled with a mouse or keyboard. In addition to fully automatic mode, the control system also offers the option of a manual operating level. This allows the mixing operator to control all actuators and valves separately. The real time representation of the mixing process with graphical and alphanumerical monitoring of set values and actual values is displayed on the 24“ monitor.

World premiere at bauma 2016:

DEUTZ adds gas engines to its product range

• DEUTZ at the world‘s biggest trade fair for construction equipment • New: the TCD 2.2 as a diesel and gas engine • The TCD 2.9, a proven performer, now available in a new gas variant • DEUTZ TCD engines are ‚Stage V ready‘ DEUTZ will be presenting its latest engines at bauma in Munich, the world‘s biggest trade fair for construction equipment, from 11 to 17 April 2016. In addition to the existing Stage V ready product range, the Cologne-based engine manufacturer will be unveiling its new TCD 2.2 diesel and gas engine as well as the new gas variant of its tried-and-trusted TCD 2.9. bauma is the world‘s undisputed flagship trade fair for equipment, vehicles and machinery used in construction and mining. These applications comprise the largest target group for DEUTZ engines, making this the most important industry gathering for the Company.

New TCD 2.2 expands the offering in the lower power output range This year, at a stand occupying 400 square metres, DEUTZ will be giving the new TCD 2.2 its premiere. This 2.2-litre engine, a three-cylinder variant of the successful TCD 2.9 four-cylinder engine, will expand the independent

Issue 01 | 2016

engine manufacturer‘s offering in the lower power output range. The TCD 2.2, with a rating of up to 55kW, will be particularly suitable for applications in material handling and compact construction equipment. What‘s special about the engine is that it will be available in both a diesel and a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) variant. The gas variant will produce up to 42kW and is a genuine first within DEUTZ‘s otherwise diesel-only product range. The TCD 2.2 will go into series production in 2019 when the EU Stage V emissions standard comes into force. And because all TCD 2.2 and 2.9 variants are based on the same engine platform, customers will benefit from extensive synergies when it comes to integration, for example with regard to connections and spare parts. This will save on costs and development work.

NEWS & REPORTS

Innovative gas variants offer customers greater flexibility DEUTZ will also be presenting an LPG variant of its successful TCD 2.9 engine at bauma. The engine will produce up to 55kW and have a similar size and configuration to its diesel equivalent. Here too, customers will benefit from the use of the same engine platform when it comes to integrating the engines into existing applications. The new gas variants – called G 2.2 and G 2.9 – mark DEUTZ‘s entry into a line of business that offers significant future potential, with LPG engines offering a number of advantages. For example, they are particularly well suited to equipment designed for use in the enclosed spaces of buildings, as liquid gas produces far fewer emissions than diesel. The engines also have a three-way catalytic converter that means they meet the EU Stage V emission standard without the need for a costly exhaust aftertreatment system and thereby offer a convenient alternative that gives customers additional flexibility. „By expanding our product range with the TCD 2.2 we are re-affirming the DEUTZ promise to always provide the best possible solution for each individual customer. Our new gas engines, as well as expanding our power output range, are helping us to exploit the growing potential offered by alternative fuels,“ explains Michael Wellenzohn, member of the Board of Management of DEUTZ AG with responsibility for Sales / Service & Marketing. Gas engines are by no means uncharted territory for DEUTZ; in fact they mark a return to the company‘s roots. The very first DEUTZ engine from 1867 was the atmospheric gas-powered engine. And gas was also the fuel for the world‘s first four-stroke engine – the Ottomotor – developed in 1876 by the founder of DEUTZ, Nicolaus August Otto. Throughout the company‘s history, numerous gas-powered engines have followed in their footsteps.

Issue 01 | 2016

DEUTZ TCD engines are Stage V ready In addition to its new products, DEUTZ is using bauma 2016 to showcase its popular TCD product range, a Stage V ready family comprising the TCD 2.9, 3.6 and 4.1 fourcylinder models and the six-cylinder TCD 6.1 and 7.8. Visitors to bauma will also be able to see the top-selling TCD 3.6 as a powerpack encompassing engine, cooling system and exhaust aftertreatment. Engines with capacities of four litres and above are fitted as standard with the following DEUTZ exhaust aftertreatment features: diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), diesel particulate filter (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). DPF, which is currently available as an option for the 2.9 and 3.6-litre models, will be mandatory when Stage V comes into effect. All TCD engines therefore already meet the EU Stage V emission standard that will come into effect in 2019 (based on the EU Commission‘s proposal published on 25 September 2014). DPF plays a key role in meeting the future specifications regarding soot particles. Engines equipped with DPF are already being sold on the market as Stage V ready. Customers who buy these engines are benefiting from a future-proof technology and from DEUTZ‘s many years of experience in the use of DPF systems. The size and configuration of the Stage V ready engines with DPF will remain virtually identical as the industry transitions from the current EU Stage IV to EU Stage V, meaning no expensive changes will have to be made to customers‘ equipment.

Powerful compact engines In the category of compact engines with capacities of under four litres, the high-torque variants are a particular highlight. The TCD 2.9 and 3.6 High Torque each generate a maximum torque of 390 Nm but produce less than the

NEWS & REPORTS 56kW power output that would make them relevant for the next emissions standard (EU Stage V), which is why they do not need an expensive SCR system. The two engines meet the current EU Stage IV standard only using an open diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) for exhaust aftertreatment. These engines are very popular with customers as socalled DOC-only solutions. A new high-power version of the TCD 2.9, which is suitable for mobile machinery, is being presented for the very first time at bauma. For customers looking to downsize their equipment, the engine, whose output is up to 77kW, can replace larger equivalents, thereby saving on weight, installation space and costs. „For us, bauma is the perfect stage on which to present our developments to a wide audience of trade visitors. Whether its new engines or innovative variants of our existing products – we always offer our customers the solutions of tomorrow, today“ says Michael Wellenzohn, member of the Board of Management of DEUTZ AG.

NEWS & REPORTS With a capacity of 1.5 litres and a maximum speed of 2800 revolutions per minute this three-cylinder engine sets standards. Furthermore, an additional power-take-off is added to the H family with this engine.

First three-cylinders available in series production from 2018 Following the family concepts, the various three-cylinder versions are also orientated on the currently valid and future emission standards. The Hatz 3H50TI does not need any exhaust after treatment and reaches the standards EU Stage IIIA and EPA Tier 4 interim in the power range 19 to 37 kilowatts. The Hatz engine 3H50TIC in particular is designed for the US market, Canada and some Asian countries. In order to comply with the exhaust emission standards EPA Tier 4 final (19 up to 56 kilowatts) and EU stage IIIB (37 to 56 kilowatts), a combination of external exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) guarantees the necessary reduction of exhaust emissions. Both engine variants will extend the Hatz engine product range from 2018. The most modern production line at the plant in Germany gives Hatz the capacity to manufacture about 15,000 engines of the H familiy per shift and year (Photo: Motorenfabrik Hatz GmbH & Co. KG)

World premiere 3H50: The threecylinders of the new H series Besides the already existing water-cooled Hatz 4H50 engines there also will be three-cylinders available in the future. For an optimal combustion process, best operating characteristics and reduced emissions they are also equipped with the Bosch common rail technology â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maximum injection pressure 1800 bar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; similar to the successful four-cylinders. For the first time this system is used in an off-highway diesel engine with three-cylinders. Thanks to the turbo charger and the intercooler the engines have a maximum torque of 185 newton meters (at 1600 to 2000 revolutions per minute) and a maximum power of 42 kilowatts. This all requires an installation space of a quarter of a cubic meter only.

Engine concept of H series has proven its reliability All engines of the H engine family which was introduced in January 2014 are characterised by an innovative concept, the most compact dimensions of its class, the exclusive use of premium components as well as the production in Germany. Therefore, a long service life which is typical for Hatz products is ensured for these unique power packages.

NEWS & REPORTS “The weight and consumption values are lower than those of any other engine of this class. This could be achieved, among others, thanks to the iHACS technology (intelligent Hatz Advanced Combustion Strategy) with its sophisticated combustion chamber geometry, Bosch injection technology, minimised friction and a charge air pressure of 1.7 bar”, explains Christian Hatz, Managing Director Research & Development at Hatz. Even without diesel particulate filters, this unique technology also enables the engines to comply with the current exhaust emission standards and assures a performance at reduced noise and vibration levels. All advantages of the H series will be presented for the first time to interested visitors at Bauma during an engine live demonstration at the outdoor stand.

Developed for EU stage V For more than 100 years, an optimal combustion strategy and sustainable development concept have enabled Hatz to produce particularly compact air- and water-cooled engines which are unequalled. Today, Motorenfabrik Hatz is the only manufacturer worldwide providing a complete Tier-4-final certified engine range up to 19 kilowatts. “The future requirements of the EU standard stage V up to 19 kilowatts are exceeded. For a long time, these small engines which are certified for the US market, have been sold in Europe without any legislative pressure in the

European market”, emphasizes Christian Hatz. “Therefore, the European legislation is adjusted to our standards. Nothing will change for our customers.” For the H family Motorenfabrik Hatz expected the stricter regulations concerning a diesel particulate filter (DPF) at higher power classes and designed the engines accordingly from the beginning. In the meantime, Hatz has gained several years’ experience, among others, with the application of the engine 4H50TIC-DPF and other DPF engines. “At Bauma, we will present the EU stage V solutions Hatz 3H50TICD and 4H50TICD which will be launched in the market well before the introduction of the new exhaust emission legislation in 2019, says Wolfram Hatz, Commercial Managing Director at Hatz. “Field tests with customers of the H series who will use the new Stage V engines from 2019, have already been carried out.”

A new feature in this machine class is the infinitely variable hydrostatic travel drive, which is used for all crawler tractors from Liebherr.

www.advanced-mining.com

123

NEWS & REPORTS Another advantage of the modern drive concept is the optimization of pressure flow. Hydraulic servo pressure is based on-demand according to the task. If, for example, the full feed of pressure supply is not required when operating, this is automatically returned. The ECO function is standard for all Liebherr Generation 6 crawler tractors – including the new PR 776. It allows operators to choose between high performance and maximum efficiency. The ECO control system enables greater travel drive efficiency in light to medium operations, and also provides greater fuel savings. The proactive power control is another innovation of the 6th generation crawler tractors. Internal engine and external machine parameters are recorded, such as the current deflection of the joystick. If required, the engine power is automatically increased for a brief period based on the current requirement. As well as responding more rapidly, the machines offer a significant increase in performance potential and pulling power and a higher reverse speed. Liebherr custom-engineers integral equipment solutions. The intelligent Liebherr engine management system combined with the Liebherr Power Efficiency System and the hydrostatic driveline allows Liebherr to master and optimize all equipment systems and processes to maintain constant engine speed, increase overall machine efficiency and reduce fuel consumption of the PR776. Differentiating Liebherr’s travel drive concept from other drive concepts available on the market, with which the engine speed fluctuates sharply during operation. All of these measures lead to significantly lower fuel consumption than the industry standard with similar pushing performance. Another key advantage of hydrostatically powered crawlers when working in restricted spaces is the excellent manoeuvrability with continuous power to both tracks. With an optional GPS navigation system, the work progress and the surrounding area can be visualized. increasing machine productivity and minimizing operator stress and strain. Pendulum-mounted guide wheels and track rollers ensure excellent chain traction and significantly reduce equipment vibration.

Issue 01 | 2016

Operator comfort: Intuitive operation The operator quickly finds his bearings in the new PR776 platform developed especially for this machine class. A focal point for development was the simple and safe operation of the crawler tractor. The multifunction joystick houses all operating and steering movements at the palm of the operator’ hand with only one electronic input element. This intuitive operating concept was subject to rigorous testing at Liebherr and is an important innovation for the 70 t crawler tractor’s category, particularly in mining applications. The modern and spacious workstation in the PR 776 ensures excellent environment for greater performance and relaxed working conditions. The cab is purposely designed. All instruments and operating controls are carefully organized for easy reach. All key functions and machine settings can be adjusted by the operator via the touchscreen display. ECO function parameters, automatic engine speed reduction, travel drive response, steering as well as standard safety functions such as the rear view camera can be all be accessed through the intuitive touchscreen display. Operators can conveniently adjust multiple machine settings including travel drive, blade and rear ripper to their needs. Ergonomically shaped joysticks ensure operator’s comfort. An automatic air-sprung seat detects and adjusts to the operator and deactivates the machine when exiting the cab without a safety lever having to be actuated.

Maximum safety with excellent view of equipment and surrounding area The modern design of the new Liebherr PR 776 offers allround visibility for safe and efficient day-to-day operation. Safety is enhanced by the excellent visibility of the worksite, the blade and rear ripper which is assured by the larger panoramic windows and downward slopes on the PR 776. A new feature in this class is the ROPS / FOPS protection integrated directly in the cab structure as standard for Liebherr crawler tractors. Forward visibility is completely unobstructed as the exhaust system and lifting rams have been positioned behind the A-pillars. Also the side view of the working area is clear and unobstructed by the extended work platform. This allows access to the cab, service points and filler necks for auxiliary and operating fluids.

NEWS & REPORTS For repeated work cycles in deep foundation applications fuel efficiency is of particular importance. As an option, Liebherr offers its innovative automatic engine stop function. Thanks to this system the Liebherr deep foundation machines automatically cut off the power supply during longer work interruptions after having checked certain system functions. This saves fuel and reduces the impact on the environment. Thanks to the Eco-Silent Mode the engine speed can be lowered to a predefined required level resulting in a significant decrease in diesel consumption and noise emission without any negative effects on operational output. Fitted with diesel engines of the new generation, the three Bauma exhibits work with lowered engine speed. This results in a further reduction of fuel consumption and an increase in efficiency. For the HS 8130 HD duty cycle crawler crane the hydraulic system was optimized and so the machine achieves a higher material handling capacity than its predecessor despite lower engine power.

Multi-function machine LRB 355 The robust undercarriage of the new piling and drilling rig LRB 355, with the longest tracks in its class, guarantees a high level of stability. Thanks to the parallel kinematics the machine has a large operating area. Another aspect relates to the direct mounting of all winches on the leader. On the one hand, this allows for a direct view from the operatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cab to the main winch and, on the other hand, ensures that the ropes do not move during leader

adjustment. The optional elevating working platform of the LRB 355 enables safe and easy access to the attachments. Additionally, it facilitates the assembly of tools as well as maintenance work at the jobsite. The LRB 355 is available in two different configurations with a maximum height of 33.5 m and a maximum weight of approximately 100 t without attachments. The rig is driven by a powerful V12 diesel engine offering 600 kW (option: 750 kW), which complies with the European emission standards, stage IV, and the US Tier 4 final. Further major advantages of the new piling and drilling rig are its fast mobilisation and easy transportation. The rig can be transported with the leader and multi sledge attached to the machine. In order to minimise the transportation length to a mere 22.6 m the leader can be folded. In addition, no tools are required for folding the leader and mounting the counterweight. The LRB 355 has been specially designed for drilling with full displacement tool and achieves a torque of 450 kNm in this application. The rig can, however, be used for numerous other applications including drilling with Kelly equipment, double rotary head and continuous flight auger, soil mixing as well as piling jobs with vibrator and hydraulic hammer.

Versatility as trump card for tough job site tasks: HS 8130 HD duty cycle crawler crane The Liebherr duty cycle crawler crane, type HS 8130 HD, can be used for various deep foundation applications as well as for the typical material handling tasks of a duty cycle crawler crane. These include working with slurry wall grab up to 35 t and casing oscillator up to 3 m, material loading with grab or dragline bucket, dynamic soil compaction as well as various dredging applications. When developing the 130-tonne duty cycle crawler crane Liebherr paid special attention to the robust design of the steel fabrication, the optimization of performance and safety as well as to easy and quick transportation and fast set-up of the machine. The HS 8130 HD can be transported with the railings, catwalks and pedestals fully assembled on the uppercarriage. This accelerates the mobilization of the crane on the jobsite.

NEWS & REPORTS Further features that facilitate the mobilization are the self-assembly system for crawlers and counterweight as well as the telescopic jack-up system. Additionally, the HS 8130 HD can be easily transported thanks to the low transport weight of only 50 t and to the maximum transport width of the basic machine at 3.5 m.

LB 36: well tried and tested rotary drilling rig With the LB 36 Liebherr also displays a well-established rotary drilling rig at the Bauma 2016. This rig is fitted with the BAT rotary drive, which was first presented three years ago, and offers a torque of 410 kNm and can be individually configured depending on the type of application. The main advantages of the hydraulic drive manufactured by Liebherr are automated torque adjustment, continuous speed optimization and four electronically adjustable speed ranges. Further assets of this rotary drive are its simple structure, its low maintenance requirements and, above all, its exceptional efficiency. The LB 36 weighs 115 t and has been designed for drilling diameters of up to 3 m and drilling depths of maximum 88 m. The powerful Kelly winch with 40 t line pull and the rope crowd system with 40 t pull force offer a significant technical advantage. This provides the operator with maximum performance and reliability even with the most difficult soils and extreme operational conditions. The Liebherr drilling rig convinces with the solid leader design, robust kinematics and a large range of possible applications. High stability is also provided thanks to the large footprint of the undercarriage. Similar to the other machines of the LB series the LB 36 is specially designed for Kelly drilling, continuous flight auger and double rotary drilling as well as soil mixing work.

Liebherr – a full-service provider in the deep foundation industry In the field of deep foundation work Liebherr offers its customers not only numerous machines, but also a large number of services, enhancing efficiency on the jobsite. These include technical consultation in the planning stage, application consulting on the jobsite, recording, evaluation and transfer of machine data via LiDAT as well as the documentation and analysis of the processes on the jobsite via PDE/PDR. A particular highlight is the new Liebherr simulators for deep foundation machinery. The operators can prepare for their future tasks in a virtual but realistic environment. This improves both the operator’s self-confidence as well as safety on the jobsite.

mphasising long term confidence in the market, visitors to this year’s Bauma 2016 exhibition in Munich will see Volvo Construction Equipment unveil several new flagship products – including the largest machines the company has ever made.

It’s hard to keep secrets under wraps. Especially when they are Big secrets – and doubly so when the secret in question is a giant 60 tonne class articulated hauler – the largest ever made by Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE). The new A60H will undoubtedly be a star of the show – but is far from being the only Big News to be found on Volvo’s dual stands at Munich in April. Alongside the A60H will be a host of new excavators, wheel loaders, pavers, haulers and compactors – 16 product launches in total. And that’s just the machines – there will also be an entirely new approach to customer services, aimed at boosting uptime, fuel efficiency – and productivity.

More is more While much of the company’s presence at Bauma 2016 is still a closely-guarded secret what is abundantly clear is the confidence with which the company is continuing to develop innovative, productive machines that help customers thrive in today’s ultra-competitive business. In fact, productivity is the key message of the show, under the banner of ‘Building Tomorrow’ alongside customers.

Issue 01 | 2016

The largest ever articulated hauler is not the only flagship model being launched – several other large (and yet to be disclosed) general purpose products will also debut at the show, all of which will focus on meeting the needs of customers requiring maximum productivity. Also on display at Volvo’s two stands (Indoor – C4:327 and Outdoor – FM510) will be an EW60E wheeled excavator, the EWR150E short radius wheeled excavator and EC35D, ECR35D and ECR40D compact excavators. Wheeled loaders are not forgotten, with the launch of the L50H, nor is road machinery, in the form of single drum rollers (SD75B, SD115B and SD135B), double drum (DD25B) and a new D-Series paver. And while the A60H may be the highlight of the articulated hauler range, there will be other product updates – as well as a brand new hauler in a new weight class on display in Munich. When it comes to innovative customer services, look no further than the 8,700m2 of Volvo exhibition space.

he new 55 tonne capacity Volvo A60H meets growing customer demand for articulated haulers with larger capacities, continuing Volvo Construction Equipment’s 50-year history of innovation and market leadership within this product category.

Responding to a growing demand among customers for articulated haulers with larger payloads, the 55-tonne capacity Volvo A60H is the largest articulated hauler of any brand to hit the market. More than half of the articulated haulers sold globally by all manufacturers today are within the Volvo A40 size class. The Volvo A60H’s higher payload – a 40% increase on Volvo’s A40 models – significantly lowers the cost-pertonne ratio for hauler customers. The new size also offers a viable alternative to rigid dump trucks and construction trucks operating on soft, uneven or steep roads, allowing a similar amount of material to be hauled in a shorter cycle time. Using articulated haulers also reduces the level of maintenance required for haul roads on the jobsite, further improving profitability. Good stability, comfort and high

service brakes. The articulated hauler product range was given a major overhaul in 1993 with the introduction of the C-Series, which featured a low-emission engine, fully automatic transmission and 100% differential locks. The 40-ton class was introduced in 1995 with the A40, powered by a 400 hp engine and stopped by externally cooled wet disc brakes. In 2016 Volvo reaches major milestones of both time and capacity, which will be celebrated by the company throughout the year. At Bauma 2016, for example, visitors to the Volvo stand will be able see both the new A60H, as well as Gravel Charlie – where it all began half a century ago.

The articulated hauler concept was originally launched by Volvo in 1966 and celebrates its 50th birthday this year. The first model – the DR631 – was essentially a Volvo BM350 agricultural tractor with its front axle removed, permanently joined to a trailer via an articulating hitch. ‘Gravel Charlie’ (Grus Kalle), as it was nicknamed, had a 10-tonne payload. In 1967 Volvo introduced the DR860 with a bogie, which enabled the body to remain level while the tires went over rough terrain, reducing material spillage. The first hauler with a turbo-charged engine – the DR860T – arrived in 1970, and in 1979 the 5350 reached record-breaking speeds of up to 50km per hour, thanks to a suspended front axle and automatic transmission. Traction was further increased with the addition of a six-wheel drive system. The A20 was launched in 1986 with a 200-hp engine and a 20-ton payload, and in 1987 Volvo achieved a payload of 35 tons with the A35. This model also featured a retarder built into the transmission that reduced wear on the

Construction Climate Challenge activities at bauma

he Construction Climate Challenge (CCC) will have a high profile at bauma Munich in April 2016, with a number of events planned to highlight the construction industry’s roles and responsibilities in the ongoing global sustainability debate.

Building on the momentum of the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference (also known as COP21), that was held in December last year, the topic of global sustainability – and the construction equipment industry’s roles and responsibilities within it – will feature prominently at this year’s bauma Munich in April.

The Construction Climate Challenge (CCC) is an initiative hosted by Volvo Construction Equipment to promote sustainability throughout the entire construction industry value chain and provide funding for environmental research. The Construction Climate Challenge is part of the Volvo CE commitment to WWF´s Climate Savers Program.

Show organizer Messe Munich is endorsing and helping to promote a number of Construction Climate Challenge (CCC) events at this year’s exhibition in April, alongside the CCC host Volvo Construction Equipment.

For more information on CCC and the bauma Charity Alliance visit:

The principal events will be two mini-summits that will gather leading industry figures alongside environmental experts and other interested authorities. In front of a live audience, the panel will challenge the construction industry to become part of the solution to limiting the earth’s future temperature increases. Far from being an attempt to criticize the construction industry, the 40 minute long mini-summits will take a positive view, highlighting the practical, business and economic benefits of adopting a more sustainable approach.

NEWS & REPORTS Volvo Trucks

Volvo Trucks presents new features for construction trucks at Bauma 2016

t Bauma 2016, the largest trade exhibition for the construction industry, which takes place from 11 to 17 April, Volvo Trucks will be showcasing its latest technological developments for construction trucks. A total of five trucks from the Volvo FH, Volvo FH16, Volvo FMX and Volvo FL ranges will be on display at the exhibition.

New robust front for the Volvo FH and Volvo FH16

towing eye, which is made from cast iron and designed to handle a massive 36 tonnes, is available as a factory-fitted option.

The new front-end of the Volvo FH is based on the same design concept as the front of the Volvo FMX, which has been developed for rough construction environments. The corners and the skid plate are made from 3-mm-thick steel. A fixed foot-step above the underrun protection is an integral part of the design.

The bumper has been moved forwards by 132 mm to ensure that it is the first part of the truck to be hit in rough conditions and that it protects other essential components, such as the headlamps.

The raised position of the bumper contributes to the excellent approach angle, which is over 20 degrees on vehicles with the extra-high construction chassis that was also introduced on the Volvo FH in 2014. A fully certified

Automatic Traction Control Volvo Trucks is the first truck manufacturer in the world to offer automatic all-wheel drive for construction trucks. The Automatic Traction Control function engages the

NEWS & REPORTS driven front axle when the rear wheels lose traction on slippery or soft ground. Volvo Automatic Traction Control, which now comes as standard in Volvo FMX trucks with driven front axles, is already used by Volvo Construction Equipment in their articulated haulers. The solution consists of a software system connected to the wheel speed sensors which detect and control the wheel drive. When a rear wheel starts to slip, the driven front axle is automatically engaged without the truck losing power or speed. A dog clutch activates front-wheel drive in just half a second in maximum. The clutch is lighter and has fewer moving parts than a conventional solution with permanent all-wheel drive. If the driver encounters particularly rough ground, the front and rear differentials can be locked manually. The driven front axle prevents the truck from getting stuck in difficult conditions. However, the function is often only required for a very small part of the total distance covered by each truck. With Automatic Traction Control, the grip of the front tyres is dedicated to steering right up to the moment when the driven front axle is engaged. This ensures that drivers have the best possible manoeuvrability and traction in every situation.

Issue 01 | 2016

It also avoids the additional fuel consumption and wear on the driveline and tyres that normally accompanies permanent front-wheel drive. Automatic Traction Control ensures that the ideal drive combination is always selected. Automatic Traction Control comes as standard on the 4x4, 6x6 and 8x6 variants of the Volvo FMX and is available with the complete engine range for Euro standards 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Tandem Axle Lift This new function is designed for operations where trucks transport heavy loads, such as timber, construction materials and bulk goods, in one direction and return empty in the other. When the tandem drive axle is lifted, fuel consumption can be reduced by as much as four per cent. This also leads to less tyre wear and makes the truckâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s turning circle smaller. Replacing the differential in the first driven axle with a dog clutch allows the second driven axle to be disengaged and raised. This enables the driver to access the power and the positive features of two driven axles (6x4) and, at the same time, to benefit from the improved manoeuvrability of a single driven axle (4x2).

www.advanced-mining.com

149

NEWS & REPORTS In addition, driving with the second driven axle lifted reduces the size of the truck‘s turning circle and causes less wear on the tyres and suspension systems. Tandem Axle Lift is perfect for operations where ground conditions or gross vehicle weights require a tandem-axle truck, but where the vehicle returns empty or with only a light load. On slippery or soft surfaces, the driver can increase the pressure on the first axle by raising the second driven axle, which results in better grip and reduces the risk of the truck getting stuck. Tandem Axle Lift also makes life more comfortable for the driver when the truck is empty, which in many cases amounts to 50 per cent of time that the truck is on the road. The noise level inside the cab is lower and the vibration of the steering wheel is reduced when the tyres of only one driven axle are in contact with the road surface. Tandem Axle Lift is available for the Volvo FM, Volvo FMX, Volvo FH and Volvo FH16.

Volvo Dynamic Steering for dual front axles Volvo Dynamic Steering is now also available on trucks with dual front axles, which is a common configuration in the construction industry. Because these trucks often carry particularly heavy loads or have very heavy bodies, the benefits for the driver are clearly noticeable. In addition to much lower steering resistance at low speeds, the steering wheel automatically returns to the straight-ahead position after reaching full lock. This makes manoeuvring easier for the driver and saves time and effort. The system consists of an electric motor that compensates for vibration and the negative effects caused by the road surface while minimising the amount of strength needed to steer the truck.

Increased front axle loads The maximum technical axle load of heavy-duty Volvo trucks with dual front axles has been increased from 18 to 20 tonnes. This gives customers the benefits of improved productivity and greater flexibility. The additional axle load capacity also leads to increased profits, in particular for construction companies that are transporting heavy loads. Four-axle trucks with a gross weight of 32 tonnes also have a longer load bed. This allows for greater flexibility when

Issue 01 | 2016

positioning a load such as gravel on a tipper body. As a result, the maximum load is reached more quickly when loading and drivers can be certain that they have complied with weight restrictions. A larger load capacity on the front axles also makes it possible to install a wider range of cranes and allows for other applications that involve a heavy weight on the front axles.

Rear air suspension in combination with a driven front axle for the Volvo FMX The new option of combining air suspension on the rear axle with a driven front axle allows for a high level of comfort even in trucks with all-wheel drive. While leaf springs are generally designed for the heaviest weights, air suspension has the flexibility to adjust to the actual weight of the load. This leads to improved handling, less effort for the driver and a reduction in the wear on the truck and the road surface. The lower vibration levels, in particular when the truck is empty, allow the driver to maintain a higher average speed on bumpy construction site roads and, therefore, to make a larger number of deliveries during each shift. In addition to the enhanced comfort, the Volvo Trucks air suspension system also gives ground clearance of at least 300 mm and provides effective protection for all vulnerable components.

Electronic Brake System (EBS) for drum brakes Customers who prefer drum brakes for use in particularly dusty or wet conditions can now enjoy the advantages of Volvo‘s Electronic Brake System (EBS). The system‘s electronic components provide a range of intelligent functions, including Hill Start Aid for better control on steep gradients. Safety is also improved as a result of the integration of the engine brake and the retarder function, which is known as Brake Blending. In addition to improved brake function, EBS combined with drum brakes also enables Volvo Dynamic Steering to be used (not with a driven front axle) and allows for more efficient gear changes, because I-Shift obtains some of its information from the electronic braking system.

The 4-axle panther low-loader in 1 + 3 combination (type T4E-S2A) is the result of consistent further development of the panther series according to the market’s requirements. These are mostly payload optimised vehicles combined with easy handling for the construction industry. The 1-axle dolly and the 3-axle rear running gear are the perfect combination for an optimum load distribution in the low-bed (even in extended version) with a payload of approx. 50 t. The trailer combination exhibited will be illustrating a dolly which is firmly fixed to the gooseneck. The loading process of construction machinery can be effected via

NEWS & REPORTS hydraulic rear ramps and a hydraulically liftable low-bed which is a clear advantage in narrow building lots. On the other side, removable dolly versions, which can only be loaded from the front side, require more shunting which is not even possible due to the lack of space. With the combination exhibited, DOLL has manufactured a trailer type which can be utilised for all kinds of construction machinery – even the newly developed offset feeders can be transported without any problems thanks to an intermediate table. Further advantages: • In the past years, 2 + 3 or 2 + 4 combinations have been used to get a comparable payload. However, these stand for additional economical expenditures. • The fifth-wheel load of the gooseneck can be adjusted via keypad (CAN bus) from 17.5 t to 25 t. This makes the trailer suitable for 3-axle and 4-axle trucks at the same time. • Depending on the cargo and required payload an economic 3-axle truck is sufficient. • The stepless fifth-wheel load adjustment guarantees an optimum compensation with the dolly axle (no overloading of the dolly’s axle load!) • The dolly can even be lifted in loaded condition which ensures better shunting. • The drive-over height of the running gear is only 780 mm in lowered position. The low-bed is designed in such ways that a telescoping by 1.5 m can be realised with full payload. • One version of the panther 1 + 3 combination has especially been developed for construction machinery of the industrial sector. With this variation, the trailer has a telescoping flatbed up to 13 m combined with a very low loading height of only 300 mm as well as a continuous rear excavator recess. Another feature is that the dolly can be detached at the connection to the low-bed. During the loading process of construction vehicles this disconnection point is being activated and the compensating gooseneck together with the fixed dolly are separated from the low-bed

Semi low-loaders Also the second trailer on display is a versatile allrounder for every vehicle fleet related to construction. The 4-axle semi low-loader with the proven DOLL friction steered axle is extendible and equipped with a

Issue 01 | 2016

• hydraulic double ramp • a rear excavator recess and • wheel recesses between the first and second axle. • One special feature are drive-on ramps on each side of the low-bed which make the loading process much easier. • Due to the low dead weight this trailer also has a payload of approx. 46 t. • The trailer type is robust and universally applicable due to the equipment with all necessary components such as • a comprehensive DOLL lashing package, extensions, intermediate table, hydraulic lateral displacement of the double ramps and side wall on the fifth-wheel load. The outer frame has sufficient twist locks for the transportation of different ISO containers. • The excellent manufacturing quality ensures the reliability and longevity of the semi low-loader.

Information on DOLL panther DOLL panther will be exhibited at bauma 2016 for the third time – its construction principles and characteristic features have not been changed: the ORIGINAL remains the ORIGINAL. All panther trailers are a symbol of quality and safety, not only when driving but also from an economical approach. The panther scores with lowest costs for maintenance and wear. Up to now, there has not been a single warranty claim and the 5-year guarantee has not come into use – all this with more than 4,000 delivered axle lines of which many have already been driven for more than 500,000 km. This is a clear fact that speaks for itself. The interpretation of the independent wheel suspension with double wishbone and high-speed axle (sometimes more is less and not the other way round) has set new milestones. The manufacturing precision, which meets all the requirements of engineering, as well as the use of premium components ensure the quality, reliability and longevity of panther trailers. It is a matter of course that DOLL is also able to manufacture trailers with pendulum axles. However, these are more suitable for the usage in harsh off-road conditions where the pendulum arms can demonstrate their full force. This mostly applies to military, oilfield or mining

NEWS & REPORTS applications. It could be expected that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with compact design â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the pendulum axle has poorer kinematics and therefore a higher wear as well as less driving stability. For this reason the development of the panther running gears is concentrated on the modular construction series to be able to meet the demands of different branches and countries. In detail, these include solutions like panther trailers with friction steered axles for an optimum curve negotiability or the DOLLtronic system based on CAN bus which ensures the operation of all hydraulic functions via radio remote control..

DOLL Fahrzeugbau GmbH DOLL was able to end the year 2015 with a book full of incoming orders which even surpassed the number of 2014. Especially the heavy haulage section was able to significantly increase the number of orders placed. These consist of interesting overseas projects and projects for governmental institutions. The plan for 2016 includes another growth for all DOLL product divisions. The very good business development in Germany and other European countries as well as the business activities with overseas countries enable DOLL to affirm a positive forecast for the whole group.

Caterpillar and the Big Game

There were only 100 days until the big game

There were only 100 days until the big game. It wasn’t just any big game, it was literally called the Big Game – the annual football showdown between Stanford and California.S tanford had the home game during the 1921 season, and they planned on playing the game at their stadium.

There was only one problem: The stadium they wanted to play in wasn’t built yet. The grounds on the Stanford campus where they wanted the football team to have a place to call home was a blank canvas, and it needed to be turned into a place fit for the oldest rivalry in the west. So they commissioned the man who would become Caterpillar’s first chairman to get the job done. Four years before Holt and Best came together to form modern day Caterpillar, C.L. Best was running the company that bore his name – the C.L. Best Tractor Co. Three of his Best 60 tractors pulled elevating graders, carving more than 230,000 cubic yards of dirt out of the earth to build a bowl stadium that would seat 60,000 people. Not only was the stadium done in time for the Big Game (Stanford lost to Cal 42-7), the project was complete ahead of schedule. Stanford Stadium has since hosted events like soccer’s World Cup and has served as a venue for the Olympics, but it didn’t get any bigger (even bigger than the Big Game) than Super Bowl XIX in 1985 – which also happened to be the last time the Bay Area hosted a Super Bowl until this year.

NEWS & REPORTS At the time, Stanford Stadium was a bit of an odd choice to host the NFL’s premier event, even though this was prior to the explosion of luxury suites, pools, wine bars and WiFi that now populate modern-day venues. The 64- year-old stadium’s decorum included wooden bleachers that would be covered by seat cushions provided by an up-andcoming Silicon Valley company called Apple. The advantage Stanford Stadium had was its expanded 84,000 seating capacity and the warmer temperatures of Palo Alto when compared to the San Francisco 49ers’ sometimes blustery Candlestick Park venue that sat near the bay. So the NFL poured more $2.3 million into upgrading the stadium with temporary scoreboards, lighting and additional restrooms. It’d be hard to imagine Cat® equipment not being involved in the transformation. A pair of Cat telehandlers pictured below helped build Super Bowl City, an interactive experience with two stages where more than 1 million fans will gather. (Photos: Caterpillar)

For those scoring at home, the San Francisco 49ers handily defeated Miami Dolphins 38-16 in a game that matched Hall of Fame quarterbacks Joe Montana of the 49ers against Dolphins signal caller Dan Marino. Thirty-one years later, Silicon Valley is home to another Super Bowl. Stanford Stadium is now the practice home of the Denver Broncos for the week, and the game against the Carolina Panthers will be played in Santa Clara’s brandnew Levi’s Stadium. Of course, the Super Bowl isn’t just a game anymore – it’s a full-fledged event leading up to kickoff. A pair of Cat telehandlers pictured below helped build Super Bowl City, an interactive experience with two stages where more than 1 million fans will gather. One thing’s for sure – the big game has gotten even bigger since the salad days of Stanford Stadium.

new generation large trucks: Bell to present new generation large trucks at Bauma 2016

After three and a half years of development, and following the textbook introduction of its E-series Small Trucks in 2013, Bell Equipment will commence production of its E-series Large Trucks towards the end of 2016. Representing this range at Bauma 2016 will be the B45E with a rated payload of 41 000kg and a bin volume of 25m³. (Photo: Bell Equipment)

rticulated Dump Truck specialist, Bell Equipment, will build on its successful world preview of its prototype B50E truck at Intermat 2015 by showcasing another model in the company‘s E-series Large Truck range at Bauma 2016, the B45E. With the global market creating increased demand for 45-ton trucks, the B45E with its rated payload of 41 000kg, a bin volume of 25m³ and a powerful new engine, has the potential to become the most popular model in the range due to its overall value proposition to customers. The E-series Large Truck programme has been in development for three and a half years and is planned for worldwide release in late 2016. The range is powered by the new Mercedes Benz HDEP engine platform and optimised for off-highway use by MTU. Like their smaller truck counterparts they are also all fitted with Allison transmissions. Comments Tristan du Pisanie, Bell Equipment‘s Product Marketing Manager: „While new for us, the HDEP engine platform has been in production with Mercedes Benz for seven years. It is an engine that Mercedes Benz is very familiar with and we are confident that our customers will

appreciate the advances in terms of fuel economy and power density over our D-series machines.“

D-series vs E-series When comparing the large truck E-series to the outgoing D-series, all models have a useful increase in power with the new engine platform. The larger models also move to the Allison 4700 transmission which provides 7 gear ratios, to provide for better grade ability with reduced fuel consumption. Payloads have also increased.

pressures generated in the brakes during retardation there is always oil between the wet brake plates, so there is no touching and wear.“

All of the models up to and including the B45E are within 3 500mm width, which is a key number for European transport legislation. The B45D was a wider truck, which required a special transport permit in many European countries. „The D-series has proven itself as the industry benchmark delivering the lowest cost per ton of dirt hauled and a key requirement of the E-series Large Truck programme was to improve on this. During comparative testing between the B40E and the B40D it was found that, taking into account all of the variables, the B40E will deliver a 6% to 7% lower cost per tonne to Bell customers than the B40D. Similar improvements will be seen across the entire range and this will impact directly on our customers‘ profitability and ability to tender more competitively.“

Transmission „The move to a 7-speed Allison transmission across the range, with the exception of the B35E, effectively delivers better performance due to the smaller steps between gear ratios, which keeps the engine at optimum revs more consistently,“ says du Pisanie. To accommodate the larger 7-speed transmission, Bell has removed the automatic retarder on the transmission and opted to rather incorporate this important feature into the wet brake system. Du Pisanie explains: „The retardation is still operated automatically and the new position of the retardation will not adversely impact on brake life. This is because extensive testing has shown that at the low

Issue 01 | 2016

Engines across the E-series Large Truck range incorporate a Jacobs engine brake ®, activated by an additional lobe on the camshaft, which is automatically engaged when the operator‘s foot is off the accelerator. „The retardation power of the Jacobs engine brake ® is higher than the engine braking produced by the outgoing V6 and V8 engines on the D-series trucks. The benefit is that a lot less retardation outside of the engine is required,“ says du Pisanie.

Axles Traditionally in the Bell D-series range of ADTs the brake system and gears shared common oil in the axle. „This required a specialised oil because it‘s difficult to get a compromise between the oil needed for brakes and gears. In some of our remote markets this oil was difficult to source. With the E-series Large Trucks our engineers opted to use two separate commonly available and optimised oils for either brakes or gears in the axle. Not only have we been able to select the best suited oil in each instance but we have also introduced dedicated cooling, for the brake oil, across the range to improve system durability in heavy duty applications.“

Cab According to du Pisanie, Bell is making use of the E-series Small Truck cab for the Large Truck range due to the positive feedback that has been received from customers in terms of operation and ergonomics. Electronic bonnet opening has been added to the Large Truck cab as an additional, convenient feature.

NEWS & REPORTS The E-Series large truck range is inheriting the best in class cab from the E-Series small trucks. Much effort went into optimising the ergonomics and achieving a simple operator interface experience and this has been confirmed by a great deal of positive feedback from operators. (Photo: Bell Equipment)

Bell opted for an Isringhausen seat, with its own suspension and dampening system, to improve ride comfort and reduce whole body vibration. The seat also has a three point safety harness which can be configured, as an additional safety feature, so that the truck‘s engine will only start once the seat harness is fastened. A heating option is also fitted for colder climates.

The operator‘s experience has been a key focus area of the E-series truck programme with the objective of simplifying the interface and improving the ergonomics by taking into consideration the lifestyles of today‘s younger generation of operators.

The full glass door, maximized window apertures and ideal operator position give unparalleled visibility. Safety blind spots are significantly reduced, particularly in the area commonly used for cabin access. „The Bell operator cabin has traditionally been one of the features most often praised by operators and the E upgrade makes the operator experience even better,“ says du Pisanie.

„Smartphone technology is growing in popularity and we also wanted to build the familiarity of what happens in your car into what happens in our E-series trucks,“ explains du Pisanie. Therefore the E-series cab has a full colour screen and an automotive mouse interface to control the sealed display unit. The Bell ADT is the first to offer this technology and the standard reversing camera can also been integrated into the colour screen display.

„Overall we are confident that we have looked critically at what needed to be included in the upgrade, and focused only on delivering real value added improvements in terms of reduced cost per ton and safety, without compromising the platform that has served us so well for the last 15 years. We look forward to taking users through our trucks with the traditional Bell hospitality at Bauma 2016,“ he says.

„Coinciding with our E-series Large Truck programme, we have even further improved the response speed of the colour monitors in the cab. This not only affects the new Large Trucks but can be achieved on all existing E-series machines with a software update,“ says du Pisanie.

The Bell E-series Large Truck range ticks all the boxes in terms of the improvement goals engineers had set for the project. Importantly the E-series delivers an even lower cost per ton of dirt moved than the D-series, which has until now been regarded as the industry benchmark. The trucks also deliver a useful increase in power thanks to a new engine platform and have achieved safety and operator comfort objectives as well. (Photo: Bell Equipment)

Bell B60E: the Bell all-weather alternative to rigid trucks

Bell engineers have been able to achieve the 60-tonne capacity of the B60E by designing a bin that is much wider than a traditional ADT and resembles a conventional rigid-type bin. Telescopic cylinders tuck under the bin to push it up in stages during the tipping process (Photo: Bell Equipment)

auma 2016 marks the first time that Bell Equipment will showcase its 60-ton truck outside of Africa. The prototype B60E, capable of moving large volumes of material in all weather conditions, places the South African manufacturer at the cutting edge of off-road trucking by providing a unique solution to a market segment that was previously only contested by rigid trucks. The first generation of the Bell 60-tonner, the B60D, was introduced as a concept at the inaugural Bauma Africa in 2013 and has taken Articulated Dump Truck (ADT) design and innovation into a new league. Since then it has been running successfully on various sites in Africa where it has gained popularity for its all-weather suitability.

Issue 01 | 2016

According to Bell Equipmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s Product Marketing Manager, Tristan du Pisanie, the B60D was developed after the company identified a growing need among contractors making use of rigid trucks in the 60-ton range. In response the company adopted the two-axle concept of a rigid truck but with a driven front axle and independent front and rear chassis.

NEWS & REPORTS Tristan du Pisanie, Bell Equipment‘s Product Marketing Manager. (Photo: Bell Equipment)

Telescopic cylinders tuck under the bin to push it up in stages during the tipping process. Says du Pisanie: „The rear chassis and suspension are distinctly different from an ADT concept. A cradle supports the rear axle with struts being used to create shock absorption for a controlled ride.“

He says: „By combining the ADT concept as we know it with the single rear axle, we came up with a unique machine configuration - a 4x4 with full articulation steering and oscillation joint and that gives us the ability to keep all four driving wheels on the ground and fully utilise the traction that‘s available. This gives our 60-ton truck more off-road capability than any conventional rigid truck.“ Bell Equipment‘s design philosophy has always been driven by creating lowest cost per tonne equipment solutions and the 60-tonner is no different. It delivers cost efficiencies related to economies of scale in addition to featuring an economical drivetrain that delivers significantly lower fuel consumption than a traditional rigid truck. This has been verified over the last two years of testing with a number of trucks already generating returns for customers. The B60E will be powered by the latest generation Mercedes Benz engine optimised for off-highway use by MTU. This means that Bell is able to extend its geographic reach and make the B60E available in regulated countries for the first time,“ says du Pisanie. While the B60E has the same cab as the other models in the E-series range, the most visible differences are at the back end. The back axle is a dedicated 70t truck and haulage axle from Kessler, Germany in keeping with the Bell philosophy of selecting the best components and technology available on the market. To achieve the 60-tonne capacity the bin is much wider than an ADT and resembles a conventional rigid-type bin.

Issue 01 | 2016

Du Pisanie says the B60E is well suited to hard ground applications, particularly mines and quarries with tight turns. He says: „In these applications you don‘t need the flotation of an ADT so the single rear axle can take the full load and deliver the benefits of having one less axle, such as no scuffing of tyres and improved manoeuvrability. „However, the B60E‘s real niche is where wet weather conditions can adversely affect traction and rigid trucks would normally have to stop production when rain falls. We have had a number of test units running alongside rigid trucks on sites in Africa and in adverse weather conditions the rigid trucks had to stop operating but our B60Ds, with their all-wheel traction and retardation advantage, were able to safely continue working with no loss in production,“ says du Pisanie. „Additionally less maintenance of the ground conditions at the load and dump site, normally required to prevent rigid trucks from getting stuck, would also deliver significant savings to a customer. The fact that the machine has four wheel drive and the ability, through the incorporation of an independent front and rear chassis, to keep the wheels on the ground, is a huge advantage for just about any high production application.“ In addition, the B60E has a similar look and footprint to a 60t rigid dump truck, which means Bell trucks can be run seamlessly alongside fleets of rigid trucks to provide fleet owners greater flexibility. „Both types of trucks share the same wheel track width and have similar bin heights. The main difference is in the everyday productivity and versatility of the truck. The tighter turner circle of the B60 and the truck‘s ability to negotiate steeper ramps are also significant advantages over rigid trucks,“ says du Pisanie.

CASE extends D Series crawler excavator range with five new models at Bauma 2016

CASE Construction Equipment is extending its new generation D Series crawler excavator offering with the introduction of new models at the BAUMA 2016 exhibition. The CX130D, CX160D and CX180D fit in the medium range, while the other new models take the D Series’ big performance to a new level: the CX490D adds approximately 1.5 t to its predecessor in the C Series, bringing its weight very close to 50 t; at the top of the range, the CX500D in Mass Excavation version delivers a massive performance with an operating weight above 50 t. The two heavy duty models, which replace the previous generation’s CX470C and CX470C ME, have been renamed to reflect their increased weight. All the new models feature CASE’s exceptionally fuel-efficient Tier 4 Final (Euro IV) maintenance-free technology with no DPF. They offer the high productivity, comfort and safety levels and low running costs that the previously launched D Series models have become known for.

It’s time for more productivity The new D Series crawler excavators share the wellproven CASE Intelligent Hydraulic System of the previously launched new generation models. The improved D Series system with High Performance Hydraulics Control takes controllability and smooth operation to a new level. The faster cycle times achieved with the new, more efficient hydraulics, and the greater weight raise the bar on these models’ productivity – especially in the top two that weigh in at more than 25 t.

Issue 01 | 2016

The new models deliver faster cycle times because of the new electronically controlled hydraulic pumps and larger main valve, which increase their productivity further. The new pumps and bigger valve improve the machine’s responsiveness, resulting in cycle times up to 12% faster than the previous generation’s. In addition, the new models deliver a greater lifting power. The high productivity is further enhanced by the crawler excavators’ excellent autonomy resulting from the high capacity fuel and AdBlue® tanks combined with the machines’ fuel efficiency. Also, the AdBlue tank only needs to be refilled every 10 fuel refills, so that no time is wasted.

Three working modes – Speed Priority, Heavy and Automatic – help the machine conserve energy and exert only as much power as needed to complete the job at hand.

It’s time for more economy Operating costs of the new D Series models are remarkably low. To begin with, the engine technology and new hydraulics result in lower fuel consumption than the previous generation. The new models comply with Tier 4 Final (Euro IV) emissions standards with an after-treatment Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system and Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC). With this solution, exhaust gases are treated exclusively through chemical reactions in the SCR and DOC; no particles are trapped in the system, so that no Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is required. This is a very simple and effective solution to dramatically reduce polluting emissions and, as it is an after-treatment system, the engine runs at optimum efficiency, delivering more power with less fuel. As a result, customers enjoy significantly lower fuel expenses. The system is also very economical in its use of AdBlue, which is just 3% of fuel consumption. In addition, as there is no DPF regeneration or DPF replacement, maintenance and operating costs are remarkably low.

The new models also feature CASE’s energy saving systems, which include Pump Torque Control, Auto-idle and Idle Shutdown functions, Spool Stroke Control, Boom Economy Control and Swing Relief Control. These systems take advantage of every fuel saving opportunity, further reducing operating costs and contributing to a longer life for the machine.

It’s time for more comfort and safety The spacious cab offers best-in-class space and the ultimate interior configuration with premium features. The fully adjustable workstation with a new air-suspended high-back seat delivers excellent comfort.

NEWS & REPORTS The pressurized and iso-mounted cab keeps noise and vibration down, providing an operating environment among the quietest in the D Series’ class. The large multifunctional widescreen monitor with continuous rear view camera adds to the already excellent all round visibility. Each machine is available with a new (optional) LED working light package that provides illumination similar to sunlight – and more than three-times brighter than halogen – allowing contractors to work around the clock. The ROPS cab is certified for ROPS level II as standard on all models and a full range of optional front guards is available to ensure the operator’s safety in tougher working environments. The optional factory fitted travel alarm contributes to greater safety on the jobsite around the machine. The CASE SiteWatch telematics system enables the fleet manager to keep track of the machine and helps prevent misuse of the equipment, protecting the customer’s asset.

It’s time for more reliability and durability The new D Series models are designed and built for reliability and durability. The new boom and arm design reduce stress on the structure, improving reliability. The high resistance cast steel at the foot and at the end of the boom, together with the jointed steel cast part across the boom and the arm’s boxed section increase the strength and durability of the boom and arm. Reliability is further enhanced by the safety valves on the boom and arm cylinders with overload warning. The new undercarriage design that has increased the dimension of components results in even greater reliability and durability. The new undercarriage one-side slope design ensures there is less material build up between the frame and the track chain. The material easily slides outward during cleaning operation and the operator will save time cleaning the undercarriage.

Atlas Copco:

launches new machine monitoring system, Certiq

Atlas Copco has raised the bar in the field of telematics with its new machine monitoring system, Certiq. The system provides real-time data, helping equipment owners and operators to ensure that their machines always perform to the best of their ability. Atlas Copcoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new machine monitoring system, Certiq, is now a standard feature on the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction and mining equipment. The Certiq system, which is based on wireless data transmission, or telematics, allows owners and operators of equipment such as surface or underground drill rigs to monitor the performance of their machines at any time and from any location. With this real-time data at their fingertips, equipment owners and operators are empowered to optimize their machines to achieve the highest possible productivity and profitability.

Issue 01 | 2016

The Certiq software gathers and records infinite amounts of data while the machines are in operation. This information is then presented in easy-to-read graphics on a dedicated web portal. Users simply access the portal with a unique login to monitor a single machine or an entire fleet. The system tells users how a machine is currently being used, or has been used over time as well as machine availability rates, service requirements and much more. In addition, the system will automatically generate performance reports and forward them to the machine owner/operatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s email inbox.

NEWS & REPORTS This data processing and automatic reporting functionality enables managers to stay on top of developments at a particular project. It also helps them decide if, and when, operators need extra training to improve their machine handling skills. Atlas Copco pioneered remote machine monitoring with the launch of its satellite-based system, ProCom, in 2003 but the Certiq system has been made infinitely more advanced to meet high demands for data analysis together with simplified access. Thomaz Ahlborg, Product Manager, Telematics, at Atlas Copco Rock Drills AB in Sweden, says: “Sitting around waiting for information from a machine operator or from the next maintenance visit is a thing of the past. With detailed knowledge of all operations, managers can now clearly identify production bottlenecks, maximize the running time of the equipment and track alerts and interruptions. All this helps to avoid unforeseen production stoppages in a way that simply wasn’t possible before. “In addition, the information can be coupled to training needs as poor performance data may mean that more training is required for a certain machine operator under certain conditions. Another important advantage is that by enabling our customers to track the history of their machines on line, we will also be able to give them faster, more accurate support.” Certiq comes in two versions – basic and professional. The basic version, now supplied as standard on the majority of Atlas Copco machines, provides a limited range of data such as engine hours, drill hours, number of alarms and location.

The professional version, which is optional and has to be activated by Atlas Copco, provides a complete range of data and functions including a drillmeter-per-hour calculator, report generator and service handling. It also lists alarms, sends text message alerts to mobile phones and Excel production reports to owners and operators via email. Visitors to the Bauma 2016 exhibition in Munich, Germany (April 11–17) will get a live demonstration of the Certiq system in the Atlas Copco outdoor display area (Stand No. 1108) where they will be invited to surf the new portal and discuss its advantages with Atlas Copco specialists.

Remote control station for surface drilling safety Atlas Copco’s BenchREMOTE on show at Bauma 2016

Surface drillers working in hazardous environments no longer have to stop work if things get a little too risky. They can just leave the rig, get set up in a safer spot, and then resume drilling. With operator safety as a top priority, Atlas Copco has come up with a system that enables bench drilling rigs to be operated from a distance in open pit mines or quarries. Developed with hazardous environments in mind, the BenchREMOTE mobile control station will be on display at the Bauma 2016 exhibition in Munich Germany (April 11–17). Specifically designed for operators of the company’s SmartROC D65 and SmartROC D60 drill rigs at sites where the stability of the walls may be in doubt, BenchREMOTE can be used instead, up to 100 m from the drilling area and 30 m above the rig’s position.

Issue 01 | 2016

BenchREMOTE stations use a video camera system, giving a complete view of the drilling site. In addition, the screen, joystick and control console are identical to those of the rig. Communication is via a WiFi network, making it independent of the local network infrastructure, and the station can be installed in a vehicle, on a trailer or inside a container. A case in point is the Savage River iron ore mine on the island of Tasmania. The mine is located in a region of frequent and heavy rainfall that sometimes threatens the stability of the walls. Here, a BenchREMOTE unit mounted in a vehicle is used to control the mine’s SmartROC D65 whenever necessary. It is particularly useful for footwall

drilling, enabling the feed to get closer to the wall without risk to the operator. Apart from the obvious safety benefit, BenchREMOTE also has the potential to increase productivity as it can control up to three drill rigs in parallel. A precondition for BenchREMOTE drilling is that its associated SmartROC D65 or SmartROC D60 is equipped with the Atlas Copco Hole Navigation System (HNS). However, all existing SmartROC D65 rigs that lack this feature can be upgraded to work with BenchREMOTE.

A surface drill rig offering the golden combination of raw power and high precision. That’s the concept behind Atlas Copco’s SmartROC C50 which goes on show this year at Bauma 2016. For many quarrying companies and contractors, the SmartROC C50 drill rig from Atlas Copco is the perfect combination of power and precision – and with good reason. This rig, which will be showcased at the Bauma 2016 exhibition in Munich, Germany (April 11–17), has proved it can combine high penetration rates with superior hole quality in some of the world’s most challenging conditions. Designed for the 89–140 mm (3 1/2 – 5 1/2”) hole range and high production bench drilling in aggregate and limestone quarrying as well as selective surface mining, the rig is also known for being extremely fuel efficient, in some cases cutting fuel costs by as much as 50 percent.

Product Manager Mattias Hjerpe says: “The combination of high power and precision is not an easy equation to achieve when it comes to high capacity benching, but the SmartROC C50 truly gives the best of both worlds. Together with the COPROD drill string system it gives superior hole quality with straight and smooth walls.” A contributing factor to hole quality is the adjustable flushing capability. The possibility to adapt the air during drilling eliminates the risk of destroying the hole wall by over-flushing. This, in turn, also saves fuel and reduces wear on components. But it is in the search for consistency in drilling operations where the SmartROC C50 really scores. For example, its ROC Manager software enables each round to be planned in advance and the optional Hole Navigation System (HNS) enables the rig to locate, collar and drill every hole in the pattern with the utmost precision. Not only that, the results of each drilling operation are automatically collected and logged and this provides valuable data that can be used to improve the entire quarrying or mining process. Other functions such as automatic feed alignment, which ensures the correct hole inclination, and automatic rod adding also play their part in making sure that each hole is drilled exactly as planned, time after time, and that rounds are correctly blasted to achieve the desired rock fragmentation.

At Bauma 2016, the SmartROC C50 will be on show at the Atlas Copco outdoor display, Stand 1108.

At Bauma 2016, Bauer will be presenting four large diameter rotary drilling rigs from the PremiumLine series, which represent the core of multifunctional equipment for specialist foundation engineering (Photos: BAUER Gruppe)

chrobenhausen/Munich, Germany – In April, the BAUER Maschinen Group, with headquarters in Schrobenhausen, Bavaria, will once again present their complete portfolio of equipment for specialist foundation engineering in the open-air exhibition area of the Bauma 2016 – at booth FN 520. In addition to Bauer‘s core area of BG series rotary drilling rigs, the duty-cycle cranes of the MC series and diaphragm wall technology – with cutters and grabs – the subsidiaries such as Klemm, Prakla, Hausherr, RTG, ABS Trenchless and MAT will also display their new developments.

Bauer can also refer to a special anniversary: the first Bauer rotary drilling rig, the legendary BG 7, was first used on a construction site exactly 40 years ago. This first drilling rig was the prototype for all rotary drilling rigs that have now been built by different manufacturers worldwide for decades. At that time, the only available equipment for pile bores came from other construction areas and had to be temporarily converted for the new procedures.

NEWS & REPORTS MIDOS pile nominated for the Bauma Innovation Award The Bauma Innovation Award has been an incentive for all construction machine design engineers for decades. Bauer Maschinen submitted their new MIDOS pile (Mixed Drilled Offshore Steel) to Bauma 2016 and have been selected as a finalist. The MIDOS pile is based on the Mixed-in-Place method, conventionally used for special foundation works. This new technology minimizes the number of offshore operations and is therefore significantly quicker than injection piles and therefore more cost effective. With respect to the driven pile MIDOS is generally a more quite technology and additional technical actions for noise reduction are not required. MIDOS therefore is also ideal for use in noise-sensitive coastal areas. So MIDOS is the future solution of Bauer for offshore foundations.

Multifunction machines for specialist foundation engineering: The PremiumLine of the Bauer BG drilling rigs In order to be variably prepared for the demands of the market, in 2011, BAUER Maschinen GmbH introduced two lines of drilling rigs: the ValueLine and PremiumLine. While the PremiumLine machines are multifunctional machines for different uses in specialist foundation engineering, the ValueLine is optimized for kelly drilling. Bauer will exhibit a core area of the machines for specialist foundation engineering at Bauma 2016 with four heavy-duty rotary drilling rigs. The multifunction features of the machine series will be illustrated – in particular, these are models BG 24 H, BG 28 H, BG 39 and BG 46. The four machines are equipped with different extensions and tools. Performance-increasing improvements have been made to all machines; all machines are equipped with the Bauer EEP, the Energy Efficiency Package. The BG 24 H will be presented with the new BT 75 base carrier, with significant safety-relevant developments. There is an integrated service platform for easy, convenient and secure access for maintenance work. The practical service platform can be pulled out like a drawer, so the motor paneling automatically becomes the fall protection. The BG 46 rotary drilling rig puts the focus on heavy-duty casing work without a casing oscillator and is optimally oriented for deep drilling in a kelly system. In addition, the machine has a high, rigid mast and a strong main winch for the long, heavy kelly bar.

New generation of the Bauer ValueLine drilling rigs At Bauma 2016, Bauer Maschinen will present a new generation of the ValueLine – a medium-sized platform range that is designed for bored piles with a diameter of up to 2.5 meters and a drilling depth of up to 70 meters. With a view to customer-specific benefits, functionality and profitability, Bauer has succeeded in achieving the best price-performance ratio. This medium-sized platform range includes the BAUER BG 26 as the lowest pricedmodel and – in the larger version – the BG 30. The way the RTG piling rigs have been designed allows them to be used for various drilling operations and not only for works with vibratory hammers. (Photos: BAUER Gruppe)

The lateral paneling then acts as fall protection. This system is the only one of its kind in the world and sets a new standard in the area of Health, Safety & Environment. All service points can now be easily reached from the ground or from the platform. No compromises have been made in the area of comfort either, which is proven by the Bauer comfort cabin, which is characterized by the highest functionality and allows for an optimal view of the drilling location. The technical developments have already proven themselves in practice: the first measurements taken during use at construction sites showed that the machine‘s fuel consumption was up to 30 percent lower than that of its predecessor.

The Bauer duty-cycle cranes of the MC series

The core element of the medium-sized platform range is the joint BT base carrier, which was entirely designed and constructed by Bauer. The modern and highly functional support does not just score points for its high safety standards and very low noise emissions. The machine can also be equipped with a 298 kilowatt CAT C 9.3 motor, which fulfills the most recent emission standard according to Tier 4 final. Large cross-sections in the hydraulic pipes and a degree of optimal motor efficiency guarantee economic fuel consumption. For difficult ground conditions, a BTM torque converter or a casing oscillator can be attached. But the ValueLine middle platform does not just stand out due to its productive capacity, but also thanks to the numerous developments that make maintenance work, assembly and dismantling of the machine easier. An integrated service platform allows for easy, convenient and secure access for all types of maintenance work on the uppercarrige. For this, a step that is connected with a part of the lateral paneling is pulled out of the uppercarriage.

Issue 01 | 2016

The MC crane series from Bauer was upgraded for more construction methods. The modern winch system with automatic control allows the MC machines to be used for dynamic soil compaction, the BDC system. Additionally, Bauer now also offers an orange peel grab for MC cranes for material handling work. On this track, a further upgrade of the range of application is planned for 2016 e.g. as a lifting care with auxiliary jib. The MC cranes offers a significant expansion for use in diaphragm wall technology. The Bauer designers have elaborated the HDS hose drum system: with HDS-T on the mast head, the cutter can be turned together with the hose bracket. Cutting depths of up to 120 meters are possible with this design.

The GB base carrier Bauer Maschinen presents a special base carrier for hydraulic diaphragm wall grabs, the GB 46 base carrier, which has been equipped with a new freefall system. The machine was originally designed and built for the Chinese market and can now be offered to the international market with CE and Tier 4.

NEWS & REPORTS The new DHG-V grab with modular design for trench widths of 600 to 1,500 millimeters with a one base body will also be exhibited. A special tooth placement is possible for hard ground, so-called pick teeth. With it, it is possible to use the gravitational force of the grab on hard ground.

Extension developments The crucial „secrets“ in machine technology are frequently the variable add-on units and the constantly modified tools. Bauer Maschinen offers something new with an extremely long rack for Cutter-Soil-Mixing CSM. With the repeatedly proven CSM system the soil is cut up with cutting wheels and then mixed with a betonite suspension to make a solid body. The guide tube on a BG 39 rotary drilling rig is designed for a depth of 42 meters.

The new, improved-performance KR 709-3G (micro) pile boring machine, the compact anchor drilling rig for KR 8053G overburden drilling and the successor in the tried-andtested KR 806 series, the KR 806-3G will also be exhibited. Additionally, the KR 909-2 drilling rig with the new MAG 2.5 drill string magazine and the new KH 21 rotary drive and a drill string handling module from the HBR 120 series will be displayed. The reworked KR 806-5G will be Klemm‘s largest exhibit: a drilling rig with an especially large single-pass installed depth. The redeveloped KR 801-3FK, a drilling rig with an especially extensive boom reach, completes the range of exhibits. Hausherr will be represented by the largest rotary drilling rig of the model HBM 160 (160 kN of pressure). ABS Trenchless will showcase a solution for an ABS 600 horizontal drilling rig with changeable CRB 100 rock boring equipment.

On another machine, the continuous flight auger method will be presented with the new „iCFA“ auger string. With iCFA, the designers highlight three major advantages under the keyword „3i“: integrated measurement sensor at the end of the auger, inductive (cabelless) data transfer via the hollow stem of the CFA auger and intelligent pull control, a major step forward in safety and improved productivity.

Klemm Bohrtechnik, Hausherr and ABS Trenchless KLEMM Bohrtechnik GmbH, from Drolshagen, Germany, has been part of the BAUER Maschinen Group since 1998 and specializes in compact drilling technology, anchor drilling rigs and high-pressure jet grouting systems. Klemm will once again present numerous new developments to industry visitors at the Bauma 2016. The focus of the exhibits this year is on a new generation of drilling rigs that fulfill the threshold of Stage IV exhaust emissions (EU) or Tier 4 final (EPA) with a completely re-developed drive module. The new EN 16228 standard also applies, especially with regard to the operating mode selection and the implementation of the whole controls system according to performance level C. In addition, Klemm Bohrtechnik will address the issue of energy efficiency and work safety.

NEWS & REPORTS BAUER Maschinen GmbH

BAUER Group MIDOS pile from Bauer nominated for the Bauma Innovation Award 2016 chrobenhausen/Munich, Germany â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The S offshore energy generation sector is experiencing a global boom. Offshore oil and

gas platforms and wind farms are normally built on tubular steel piles, which are driven into the sea floor with hydraulic hammers. However, particularly in oil-rich, tropical coastal regions, the sea floor is mostly made of brittle, calcareous sand. In this soil, driven piles do not achieve the required strength for durable foundations as the sand is crushed by the dynamic load during pile driving. BAUER Maschinen GmbH now offers an economic solution to this problem: MIDOS technology which is nominated for the Bauma Innovation Award 2016.

MIDOS technology is based on the Mixed-in-Place method, which is normally used in specialist foundation engineering. Test piles achieved an uplift capacity of 9,000 kN. (Photos: BAUER Gruppe)

Issue 01 | 2016

Starting situation: when installing the tubular steel piles for offshore platforms with hydraulic hammers, the grains of carbonate sand break due to the impact force from the hammer. As the grains are crushed by this the material contracts and the pile can no longer be sufficiently supported. Therefore, in such soils the piles must be inserted and grouted into pre-drilled holes.

www.advanced-mining.com

223

NEWS & REPORTS These so-called drilled-and-grouted piles are used as an alternative in calcareous soils because the ground is subjected to a lower mechanical load in this foundation process and therefore the strength and friction on the piled wall are not reduced. Conventional drilled-andgrouted piles can bypass many of the technical problems of driven piles in calcareous sand, however they are costly and time-consuming to install. This is why Bauer worked on a sustainable, ecological solution to this problem and researched this together with University College Dublin. With the new MIDOS technology (Mixed Drilled Offshore Steel), developed by Bauer, the time required can now be minimized considerably. In the offshore sector, MIDOS piles can be manufactured significantly quicker and more cost-effectively than drilled-and-grouted piles. MIDOS technology is based on the Mixed-in-Place method, which is normally used in specialist foundation engineering. To do so, a steel casing is inserted into the ground and, at the same time, a mixing tool mixes the surrounding in situ soil with cement in the casing‘s interior. The soil and cement mixture fills the casing interior from the inside out and it flows outwards (through openings in the casing) into the annulus around the casing. In this way, the pile is anchored in a strong mixture of sand and cement. The mechanical load capacity of such piles has been verified in an initial study. The tested pile achieved an uplift capacity of 9,000 kN in silica sand. Since MIDOS is especially attractive for use in calcareous sand, different cement mixtures with this sand were examined. Together with University College Dublin, a comprehensive series of tests in calcareous and silica sands were carried out. Different tests showed that MIDOS technology achieved a similar geotechnical and structural behavior in both types of soil. Therefore, this innovative offshore foundation process was assessed as suitable for a range of sandy soils. Thanks to its high load-bearing capacity and short manufacturing time, the process offers an economical foundation method for offshore platforms, even when faced with difficult geological requirements in calcareous sand. Because MIDOS is a drilling process, its noise generation is significantly lower than pile driving and elaborate technical noise reduction measures can be avoided. Above all, it can therefore also be used in noise-sensitive coastal regions. Bauer offers the future solution for any and all kinds of offshore foundations with MIDOS.
