Andre Tissen is Director Business Unit Cement at BEUMER Group in Beckum, Germany: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The customer will have

access to a competent expert twenty-four hours a dayâ&#x20AC;&#x153; B

EUMER Group established the Center of Competence (CoC) for the cement industry in order to provide optimal systems and installations, becoming a full-range supplier to customers all around the world. It is designed to optimise communication among the BEUMER experts worldwide. Andre Tissen, the director of this business segment since 2013, manages and coordinates this global competence centre.

Mr Tissen, could you tell us more about your tasks and the goals you have set yourself? Andre Tissen: As the head of the Center of Competence (CoC) for the cement business, a centre with global responsibility, I am responsible for developing this business segment. This includes optimising and expanding the range of products we offer, as well as supporting the individual group companies. Because only by cooperating with our international group companies can we offer comprehensive support to our customers and expand into new markets.

Can you give an example on how the customers can benefit from the CoC?

You mentioned the continuous development of products. What are you working on at the moment and what does the current situation look like? Andre Tissen: We continue to optimise all of our machines and systems. One of the trends is that more and more clients want to receive their systems in a turnkey state. They want the systems to come from one single source that means not only individual machines, but a combination of several machines, a complete system where the individual components are perfectly compatible. This means that automation will become increasingly important. BEUMER Group is very well positioned, which is a big advantage for us. Our sortation and distribution systems have a high degree of automation and are successfully used in distribution centres world-wide. We are one of the global

Andre Tissen: We have experts in the cement industry with extensive know-how who are located all over the world. The CoC helps us to bundle their knowledge and make it accessible to the individual group companies. This will benefit customers in the Unites States, as well as users in the Philippines or in Germany. The CoC allows us to offer global support. The customer will have access to a competent expert twenty-four hours a day.

EDUCATION leaders in this business segment. Experiences gained in one sector can often be used and transferred to another. BEUMER Group provides the customer with complete turnkey packaging lines. We design, install and commission the machines and systems, and, if necessary, integrate the products of subcontractors. Our customers entrust us with the complete responsibility. In addition, there are changing types of problems, cement manufacturers, for example, are using more and more secondary fuels, such as tyres and household waste. Our systems constitute the appropriate conveying solutions for this kind of material.

What does the Chinese market for your solutions for the cement industry look like? Andre Tissen: China remains an important market for us. It has calmed down a little though, because the clinker capacities in China are reaching their saturation limit. There are two major general contractors in China that are currently building about 70 percent of new clinker production lines world-wide. Those companies sell their products to more than 20 countries, with a main focus on the Middle East, Africa and Asia. For several years now, they are relying on different BEUMER Group systems such as apron conveyors, bucket elevators and palletisers.

Where are the current growth markets for the cement industry? Andre Tissen: Core regions for us are currently Africa, the Middle East and south-east Asia. One interesting customer in Africa, for example, is the cement manufacturer Dangote Cement PLC. It is a worthwhile investment here, even for small companies, because the demand for cement is continuously rising due to the persistent construction activity in many parts of Africa. The demand for largescale plants is particularly high. The US market is getting more and more interesting as well because it is becoming more stable. We still believe the Russian market shows great promise. We are expecting a strong demand as soon as the political situation has stabilised. Our Russian group company is represented in almost every region of Russia and the states of the former Soviet Union. Despite the political events of the last months, we want to continue our successful cooperation with the Russian partners based on mutual trust.

Issue 02 | 2016

What does the market situation look like in Germany? Andre Tissen: There is a lot more going on now here in Germany than in previous years. They are mostly modernisation projects of existing cement plants. There is, for example, a strong demand for conveying systems for alternative fuels.

What are the most requested BEUMER products in the cement industry at the moment? Andre Tissen: There are our bucket elevators, filling systems, palletisers and the high capacity packaging system BEUMER stretch hoodÂŽ. We sell it to companies in all industries, but particularly to the building material industry, where it is used to package palletised bags filled with cement, mortar, limestone and gypsum. Our innovative BEUMER fillpacÂŽ is in high demand too. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s an efficient and optimised filling technology. Our bulk loading heads are often used to load bulk materials quickly and without dust. They are designed with a double-wall system, separating the material inlet and the dedusting unit. Our loading and palletising systems, for example, can automatically load bags of bulk material directly onto the trucks. A very efficient option which would otherwise require several workers. This is particularly interesting for emerging market nations, where the transshipment of bagged bulk goods is increasing and labour costs are climbing. We offer our curved belt conveyors as troughed belt conveyors and pipe conveyors that can transport different types of bulk material over long distances and through oftentimes rough terrain.

Can you tell us something about the competitive situation in the cement industry; are there many global companies that you are competing with? Andre Tissen: Our main competitors are predominantly from Germany and our neighbouring European countries. If we want to keep our leadership position, our systems and machines always have to be one generation ahead of our competitors. This is the standard we have set for

www.advanced-mining.com

EDUCATION ourselves. One of our unique selling points is definitely that BEUMER Group is one of the few companies that covers the entire portfolio, from the quarry to the palletised and packaged cement bag.

How do you stay up to date with the customer‘s needs in order to remain competitive in the future? Andre Tissen: Our employees from our branches worldwide keep their fingers on the industry pulse. They are permanently in touch with the customers. This is how we can react quickly to emerging trends. We also hold regular workshops with the leading cement manufacturers. One of the advantages of being a global company is that we can react to regional differences. Automation is one of the topics that is very important to our European users to remain competitive. It plays a smaller role in other countries and regions. Our employees know the local particularities and will find the most suitable solution.

How have the demands changed over the years? Andre Tissen: More and more customers want the worry-free package. This can be the deciding factor for keeping the competitive edge. Our customers expect us to assume the responsibility for the entire project and, upon completion, just „hand over the key“, so to speak. A comprehensive customer service becomes increasingly important. During machine downtimes, customers expect us to respond quickly. The service agreements are individually tailored to the customer‘s needs. They can range from only maintenance and inspection to a longterm placement of our service personnel on site. The „Residential Service“ includes technical support, preventive maintenance and inspection, emergency plans, system and process analyses and optimisation as well as spare parts and facility management. The relationship with the customer becomes more and more important. I like to compare it to a good friendship that is based on mutual trust. We are not only a supplier, but also a partner. A good relationship, in my opinion, is based on giving and taking. It should always be a win-win situation. The two partners should be able to maintain an open dialogue.

Issue 02 | 2016

How do you handle systems from third parties? Andre Tissen: We support our customers in all matters, even with the repair of third party systems. We also modify and modernise systems from our competitors.

Is the purchase price more important to customers than the long-term costs? The cement market is in a harsh situation due to the global crises. This is why many customers are basing their decisions on price. We are trying to counteract this trend by offering sustainable solutions to our customers, so that they can reduce their costs in the long term. We want to be able to offer our products at a better price while maintaining the same quality. One major advantage for our customers: our systems and machines come in a modular system. So depending on their individual requirements, they can add modules to extend our basic version.

EDUCATION

Dr. Andreas Echelmeyer, Director Conveying & Loading Systems, BEUMER Group: â&#x20AC;&#x17E;We have to listen closelyâ&#x20AC;&#x153; Dr. Echelmeyer, you have been Director of Conveying & Loading Systems at BEUMER Group in Beckum for a few months now. What are your responsibilities and what would you like to achieve? Dr. Andreas Echelmeyer: Since August 2015, I have been the head of the new Center of Competence (CoC) for Conveying & Loading Systems (CL Systems) segment. Under the leadership of the CoC, we would like to globally develop and implement complex system solutions for various industries, such as the mining and raw materials industries, and port handling. In order to achieve this, the customers have to notice us in those fields. BEUMER is known for providing innovative intralogistics solutions. Some are still surprised to learn how fast the BEUMER Group has grown in recent years. Today Beumer now also offers complex system solutions in the raw materials industry, a sector in which business was traditionally limited to sales of single machines. Our goal is to become internationally known as a reliable partner in the area of plant engineering as well. We have fewer inquiries from Germany, and increasingly more from Australia, the Far East, Africa, South America and the US. Our mission is to build an international team for Conveying & Loading Systems that works together on specific projects. In order to ensure a high standard internationally, we must get qualified colleagues from all our local companies on board in all regions.

Dr. Andreas Echelmeyer: We are rooted in material handling, which is specifically about the efficient movement of bulk materials. Each industry we serve has very specific requirements however. The cement industry, for example, relies increasingly on alternative fuels and raw materials to reduce the use of expensive primary fuels, such as coal and oil. This can also be achieved with household waste that is processed for a particular application. Due to the differing composition of this material, its handling is often very complex. We consult with our customers based on our extensive knowledge of system solutions and provide entire systems, starting from receiving the material at the factory gate, to storing, mixing, conveying and introducing it into the cement production process via the main burner or calcinator.

How do you define expertise in system solutions for your work? Dr. Andreas Echelmeyer: In order to customise a solution, we have to listen very carefully and ask the right questions. These are often questions the customer has not even thought about. Some customers can also have very specific ideas about the solution. Together we analyse

Dr. Andreas Echelmeyer, Director Conveying & Loading Systems, BEUMER Group (Photo: BEUMER Group GmbH & Co. KG)

Qualified means that they have to understand the customers in order to precisely communicate their needs with us and develop the perfect solution together with our team in Beckum. This means that we need to stay curious and open-minded for this type of teamwork.

What has changed now for BEUMER Group with the introduction of the CL Systems segment? Issue 02 | 2016

www.advanced-mining.com

EDUCATION the task, and in this dialogue the user learns that we can supply the perfect system solution that can sometimes differ considerably from the original ideas. Our main goal is to understand the user. Another important prerequisite for us as a system manufacturer is flexibility. In order to successfully tackle specific tasks, we sometimes have to learn to let go of established solutions and find an entirely new approach, depending on the application.

How do you get in contact with the users? Dr. Andreas Echelmeyer: Our globally operating colleagues are in close contact with our customers. We are constantly exchanging ideas. Our local colleagues are familiar with the country-specific customs, speak the language and know the market and customer-specific requirements. They can pinpoint the relevant potentials and priority areas. Ideally, the customers themselves approach us at an early stage. Together, we then develop the perfect system. If a new customer comes to us, we will send out experts from our Beckum site in Germany. A team from the local company, accompanied by experts from the CoC, will then discuss the problem in detail with the customer. As a third possibility, the customer sends us a request for quotation. We analyse and examine the request in regards to completeness, and whether all of our questions have been sufficiently answered, and then we evaluate the request. Together with our local colleagues from the responsible group company, we then develop a fitting solution.

Your administrative field is called Center of Competence (CoC), the globally centralised organisation within a matrix structure. Do you also work together with other CoCs? Dr. Andreas Echelmeyer: In the case of orders from the cement industry, for example, we work closely with our colleagues from the CoC Cement. We can mutually benefit from our respective expertise. Those collaborations are always project-specific.

Issue 02 | 2016

From which industries do you get requests? Dr. Andreas Echelmeyer: This can vary a lot, because our system solutions are used wherever you need to transport large quantities of bulk material. This is particularly the case for the ore and raw materials industry, but we also deal with applications outside of these core areas, such as food transport. In ports, for example, we ensure that different materials are efficiently loaded onto ships.

What skills are you looking for in your colleagues? Dr. Andreas Echelmeyer: As you can imagine, the engineers for this task are very experienced and highly qualified, and are able to think outside the box. Often they need to find new ways in order to find the perfect system solution. Particularly with large conveyor systems, the demands on engineers are becoming increasingly complex. Public acceptance of road transport by truck is declining throughout the world, which means that our conveyors have to deal with greater and greater challenges in overcoming topography. For example, we are designing systems with a length of more than 12 km that transport material over extremely steep inclines and declines – and without transferring material on the way. If we don‘t want to send an expedition team first, we will have to use special software that allows us to merge satellite and aerial images of different resolutions with the respective topographical data. The challenge now for my colleagues is to estimate and analyse the project, in order to make a concrete offer to the customer. We usually don‘t have a lot of time for this. It is only possible with an excellent global team.

What experiences do you bring into your new position? Dr. Andreas Echelmeyer: I am familiar with the system manufacturing side, as well as the user side. I was working in the cement industry for eight years. As production manager, I had to oversee complex systems that manufacture more than 13,000 tons of steel per day. This is how I am familiar with the demands on system manufacturing coming from the users. I then switched sides and have now worked in

www.advanced-mining.com

EDUCATION systems manufacturing for twelve years. During this time I have set up a global customer support division, among other activities, and I therefore know the expectations of customers: they have ever increasing demands on machine availability and, therefore, on customer support.

How would you assess the current development for plant design in mining? Dr. Andreas Echelmeyer: The prices for raw materials like iron ore or copper have been extremely low for the last two or three years now. This is why the market situation is very difficult at the moment. We feel the effects of companies cutting investments and stopping projects. We expect this low level of investment to continue for another two, three years, until the market stabilises. What else has changed? There is a general trend towards larger tonnages and throughputs because larger production facilities are more efficient. Many users don‘t want to set up several parallel systems, but want to cover their entire requirements with one line or as few as possible. This trend influences considerably the development of our systems.

Today, the trend is towards a comprehensive product portfolio in order to offer complete solutions for the entire production process to the customer. Do all components come from BEUMER? Dr. Andreas Echelmeyer: We want to offer comprehensive services to our customers, so that we can also avoid unnecessary interfaces. This is why we deliver everything from one single source. For many of the components that are not part of our portfolio, we always ask ourselves whether to purchase or manufacture them in-house. For gear units and electric motors, as well as systems to quantify material flows, we use selected partners. We also attend trade shows to get a clear picture of the current market developments. It‘s the only way to make sure to provide the perfect solution to our customer in terms of profitability. It is not uncommon for plant manufacturers to purchase many of the components. This way we focus on our core competence and always provide the perfect solutions. Our goal is to always supply turn-key systems that allow the customer to work efficiently.

Issue 02 | 2016

Are you planning on becoming an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) company for bulk material – or even an EPCM (Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management) supplier for large-scale plants, also in order to avoid interfaces? Dr. Andreas Echelmeyer: Not necessarily. As plant manufacturers, we want to focus more on the required system solutions and less on industrial construction, excavation and concrete construction. In addition, climate conditions and legislation can vary greatly from China to Tierra del Fuego, Australia or Alaska. This is why for every project we decide if we will be the single provider or if we will work together with a reliable partner in the region. Local partners are familiar with their environment and the pricing, and are usually well connected. We always want to be well aware of the interfaces. We usually decide on a case by case basis whether or not to use a local partner. We keep a very close eye on the EPC topic, however. Our customers appreciate that we are a competent expert. They don‘t want to buy a tunnel or a foundation. They want a system that solves their problems.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY

Tough recycling project in Bogota – R700S crushes hard metallurgic coke:

Rockster continues expansion plans in South America

he Austrian manufacturer Rockster Recycler continues its expansion plans through South America with the signing of Sanymaq, an equipment sales and rental company located in Bogota, Colombia. Sanymaq has 80 employees and an extensive network of sales representatives. Specializing in both the rental and consignment markets, Sanymaq has ventured into some very interesting recycling projects and purchased a Rockster R700S recently. “Our main activity will be relying on Austrian technology to venture into areas where no other Colombian company can compete”, says Mr. Jose Saturnino Barajas, owner of Sanymaq. “There has been a new recycling law just signed in congress which requires all companies in Colombia to reuse and recycle skip and demolition waste”, he adds.

Recycling of metallurgic coke with the R700S

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two grades of clean cubic material is what we were looking for, so we can sell the aggregate for road base materialâ&#x20AC;?, says Barajas.

One of the newer projects Sanymaq is working on is the emerging metallurgic coke recycling markets. There are many smelters and foundries that have never recycled before and the new law is requiring them to recycle coke waste. By using at first a 2 deck screen to separate the coke material combined with the Rockster machine as an oversize reducer, Sanymaq is able to get 2 grades of clean material which is required.

The metallurgic plant gets the recuperated metal fraction which is also paid to Sanymaq a per tonnage price to reuse in their smeltering process.

Duplex-system for crushing river stones Rockster also has working another crushing plant in Colombia, a R900/800 Duplex machine situated along the Pan-American highway supplying an asphalt plant. “This project is currently recuperating river stone where the nearest quarry is 50 kilometers away, so the need for aggregate sourcing using large river stones is a viable solution”, says Mr. Alejandro Valencia Executive Director for Sanymaq. By using the patented Rockster system of two machines in one, first the jaw to reduce size and create a stock of material, then changing over with the same machine to an impactor to get cubic material, the complete supply of aggregate for the asphalt plant is covered.

“Many opportunities are opening up now that we have been working with the machine and it has been a learning process, both educating our clients as to recycling possibilities and convincing them to open up their doors to experimentation. We are also exploring many other realms of recycling possibilities throughout Colombia, as things are just getting started here”, says Alejandro Valencia.

VV Baltic Service OU is Rockster’s new dealer for Latvia and is specialized in selling harbor material handling and earthmoving equipment. For a client situated in Ventspils in the west of Latvia they needed an impact crusher individualized for extraordinary requirements in coal crushing at a harbor coal handling terminal. “Our client has to handle an increasing amount of coal transit and therefor he needed additional crushing equipment. The coal comes from Russia in bigger fractions containing metallic parts. It is crushed to fine grain, according to the different needs of the clients and separated from metal what’s essential for high quality coal, before it’s transported to Western Europe by vessel,” says Karlis Vecbastiks, sales manager at Baltic Service.

Austrian quality mixed with flexibility

Modification of the R900

“We chose Rockster because it’s an Austrian high quality manufacturer with a lot of experience in developing crushing solutions. We really like the hydraulic concept and the Duplex system,” says Vecbastiks. Due to the hydraulic concept of Rockster machines, the speed of the crusher, the conveyors, the screen, etc. can be continuously adjusted, so it is simple to adapt perfectly to every material and grading. The crusher is also very easy to operate and maintenance work on the machine can be done quickly and effectively. With the DUPLEX option, Baltic Service is able to change the R900 impact crusher to an R800 jaw crusher within a few hours. So the range of applications gets wider with only purchasing an additional jaw crusher unit, the basic machine stays the same.

Another reason why Baltic Service decided to focus on Rockster crushers was the possibility for individual modifications on the machine. Rockster’s technical department developed supplements for the R900 crusher like the extended hopper walls and designed a new system for using the return belt as stockpile belt. These modifications were important for the customer as the crusher is fed using portal cranes, where the clamshell grab capacity is about 9m³. In open position the grabs are

Screening system to define final grain The production of coal depends on many different requirements specified by the coal owners and the end users. “The finest required fraction at the coal handling terminal is 0-10mm, this is what we receive through the screenbox from the main belt, grain with a diameter of about 10-32 mm is led via the oversize belt to the stockpile belt. The optional screenbox is crucial for us to get exactly defined final grain,” explains Vecbastiks. With the modified solution of the return belt, it is very simple for the customer to use it as return as well as stockpile belt.

BEUMER offers extended conveying, loading and filling systems for cement plants:

Solutions that you can build on

s a system supplier, BEUMER Group develops tailor-made solutions for the specific requirements of cement plants. This includes conveying, loading and filling systems that are continually optimised and can be modified to accommodate a variety of tasks. BEUMER‘s goal is to allow the customer to develop a more efficient operation. For the user, this means less maintenance and a significant increase in bucket elevator capacities with precise filling results. International cement companies can modernise their plants with innovative solutions - sustainably and at low cost. The conveying system has to meet high requirements to ensure safe and economic clinker transport in cement plants. The clinker leaves the kiln cooling system at temperatures of up to 600 degrees Celsius and is stored temporarily in the clinker silo. To ensure a trouble-free transport of the clinker, the conveying system must withstand these high temperatures. This is where BEUMER apron conveyors are used. They are extremely resistant and can navigate through complicated routings and great

conveying heights. „We generally use the very robust BEUMER double sprocket chains as traction elements,“ explains Andre Tissen, Director Business Unit Cement at BEUMER Group. It makes it possible to handle inclinations of up to 60 degrees at a speed of 0.3 metres per second. „We developed a version that uses a belt instead of a chain for transporting the cells,“ says Andre Tissen.

www.advanced-mining.com

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY More compact and more powerful The basis is the well-proven BEUMER belt technology that is also used in bucket elevators. The belt is reinforced with steel wires and can be designed with different widths. In the feeding area the belt is - in case of instable kiln operation - protected by special deflector plates that divert the hot clinker away. „With up to 1,300 cubic metres of clinker per hour, the belt apron conveyor reaches higher conveying capacities than conventional apron conveyors with chain,“ explains Andre Tissen. This can be attributed to the higher running speed of up to 0.6 m/s. Angles of inclination up to 60° are possible. By using a belt you can basically avoid any wear and tear, which occurs frequently with a chain. You also no longer need to lubricate the system. And because of its more compact and lightweight design, this solution reduces the costs not only for the steel structure but for the entire project. The entire belt lies with its surface on the drive and return pulley, thus avoiding the unwanted polygon effect caused by the central chain. This ensures smooth operation and low noise emission, which means no additional impact on the system and the adjacent buildings. The BEUMER belt apron conveyor is an optimal choice for system modernisations. Thanks to faster conveying speeds, higher quantities of material can be transported while keeping the existing conveyor frames and steel bridges. „One concrete example: A chain apron conveyor with a width of 1,600 mm and a centre distance of 131 metres weighs about 128 tons“, explains Andre Tissen. „The steel structure weighs about 80 tons.“ An 800 x 131 metre belt apron conveyor capable of conveying the same capacity weighs only 90 tons – that is 38 tons less than the chain version. For the belt version, the net costs for the equipment are 25 percent lower and the steel structure weighs only 50 tons. A smaller drive unit can be used due to the reduced constructional size, which further lowers the running costs compared to conventional apron conveyors.

How to increase the capacity of belt bucket elevators Modernisations are an important aspect to consider for bucket elevators. A cost-efficient production requires bucket elevators with low investment costs, a long service life and easy maintenance. The buckets are mounted either to a belt or a central chain. Belt bucket elevators are best suited for fine-grained bulk material, because coarse material could fall between the bucket and the belt and damage the belt. Central chain bucket elevators, however, are designed to transport all types of coarse, hot or abrasive bulk material. The fine dust of the material causes wear and tear on the chains faster than on a belt. The user has to maintain the bucket elevators and replace the chains frequently. During repair, the operation has to stop. Additionally, replacement chains are very expensive. „This is why we developed the innovative high-capacity belt bucket elevators type HD,“ says Andre Tissen. They are designed so that there is no more space between the individual buckets and the belt, where coarse material could otherwise get caught during the filling and scooping process. This way, the service life of the belt is considerably increased. The buckets are mounted firmly to the back of the belt by segments and bolts that were especially developed by BEUMER. BEUMER belts with wire-free zones are used for the heavy-duty bucket elevators just as with all BEUMER belt bucket elevators. In the scope of the modernisation at Lafarge, the belt bucket elevator has been upgraded with the BEUMER heavy-duty technology. The new bucket shape ensures smoother running and less generation of noise. (Photo: BEUMER Group GmbH & Co. KG)

www.advanced-mining.com

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY The bucket mounting holes can be punched without damaging or cutting the steel wires. The traction forces of the belt are maintained to the full extent. The strongest belt that is currently available has a tensile load of 2,500 N/mm; the new BEUMER belt with wire-free zones has a tensile load of 3,300 N/mm. The special BEUMER bucket shape also allows for smoother running and therefore less noise generation. Depending on the material to be conveyed, BEUMER offers specially adapted buckets or mounts a dynamic bottom into the bucket elevator boot. This prevents wet and sticky material in the bucket elevator boot. When conveying highly abrasive material like clinker, these belt bucket elevators are a lot more durable than central chain bucket elevators. These bucket elevators are already successfully used by many international cement manufacturers such as Dyckerhoff, Yamama Cement, HeidelbergCement, Holcim and Lafarge. At Lafarge, BEUMER retrofitted an existing

bucket elevator with an HD belt bucket elevator in a costefficient and simple way. This became necessary because the kiln line was renewed and thus its capacity increased. This meant that the flow rate of the bucket elevator for the raw mill had to be considerably increased as well. â&#x20AC;&#x17E;For a long time, one of our German customers had the problem that coarse-grained material was falling between the bucket and the belt, damaging the belt,â&#x20AC;&#x153; describes Andre Tissen. Along with the modernisation, the throughput as well as the running time per day increased, adding to this challenge. At Lafarge, the belt started to get porous already after two years of use. Initially, a chain bucket elevator was planned to replace the old belt bucket elevator. But then the manufacturer opted for the BEUMER HD technology instead. The requirement was that the existing bucket elevator housing including the drive unit should remain for the retrofit. This special BEUMER bucket elevator technology is used for example in raw mills and cement mills for the recirculation of material with grain sizes of up to 120 millimetres and a humidity level of up to six percent. Conveying capacities of more than 1,500 tons per hour can be reached.

Not too much, not too little - the optimal filling For filling cement into bags, BEUMER offers the BEUMER fillpac. This rotating machine fills any kind of cement into a variety of different types of bags. It can be individually integrated into already existing packaging lines and adapted to specific parameters. Specific weighing electronics are utilised to ensure weight accuracy of the bags. There are practically no rejects caused by too high or too low filling weights. The weighing unit communicates permanently with the filler neck via specific software. The automatic bag weight control determines the exact filling weight while filling. This way the system always achieves accurate degrees of filling. The packaging line works more efficiently now as it is no longer necessary to remove bags with an incorrect weight from the material flow. In addition, the quantity indicated on the bag always corresponds to the real volume.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY This construction series comprises both air and turbine filling machines. The turbine process is the perfect solution for fine-grained materials such as cement. The result is filled bags which are compact and dimensionally stable so that the user is no longer required to vent them. Depending on the task, BEUMER offers BEUMER fillpac R with six, eight, ten, twelve, 16 or 20 spouts. The smallest version fills up to 1,800 50 kilogram bags or 2,250 25 kilogram bags per hour, the biggest version fills up to 6,000 50 kilogram bags or 7,500 25 kilogram bags, and all of the machines can be used for diverse bag types. The HDPE bag placer, an exclusive offering of BEUMER Group, enables dependable filling of HDPE bags. The filling impeller is characterised by its speed and the maximum material throughput. BEUMER Group also offers the turbine filling machines with inline design. The filling modules are placed next to each other for ready access, which makes them extremely easy to maintain. The inline filling machines are best suited for production environments with low throughput rates.

Onto the truck bed With the BEUMER autopac, BEUMER Group has a system in its portfolio that loads cement bags directly from the filling machine onto the truck bed. Bags can be palletised automatically in stacked rows or patterns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; without using pallets. Depending on the performance class, the system stacks between 2,400 and 3,000 50 kilogram bags per hour. The loading height, including the height of the truck bed, can be up to 3.5 meters. The user can freely select the formation of the layers depending on bag size and bag material. The machine can load bags in double patterns of five or ten bags. In order to attain a high degree of stability for the whole load on the truck, and in order to optimally utilize the truck bed, two mirror-inverted layers are always palletised next to one another. The bags are flattened by the loading process using two stacked belt conveyors, which releases the air from the bags. After being positioned, the bags are also pressed by the loading head, which makes the stack more compact and more stable. The bag feeding lines can be adjusted to the installation conditions. Corresponding technical solutions are available for variable conveyor lines. Unlike on the systems where bags are suctioned and lifted, the bags are not deformed by the BEUMER autopac.

user. On vacuum drive units and hydraulic drive units, leaks that pollute the load and the system are inevitable. Additionally, the energy-intensive vacuum pumps and hydraulic drive units require additional cooling units, a fact that clearly increases the purchase and operating costs, as well as the energy consumption. The BEUMER autopac uses just 0.15 kilowatts per hour at full capacity. The drive units and machine parts are clearly arranged and easily accessible. This facilitates maintenance considerably.

Special high-capacity belts, as well as installations that minimise belt damage, guarantee a long service life and high availability of the bucket elevators. In order to transport coarse and highly abrasive bulk materials, belt bucket elevators are upgraded with heavy-duty technology developed by BEUMER Group. The specially designed buckets in combination with the proven steel wire belt enable large conveying heights and capacities. Belts with wire-free zones are used for all belt bucket elevators. Holes can be punched into these zones to fasten the buckets reliably to the belt. For safe and economic transport of hot material like clinker, BEUMER Group provides apron conveyors with a belt or chain as the traction element. These conveyors can handle angles of inclination up to 60 degrees and speeds up to 0.6 metres per second.

Horizontal or vertical â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we consistently help you achieve your goals If you are a cement manufacturer who needs to transport limestone through rugged terrain from the quarry to the plant or hot material from the kiln cooling system to the silo, you will always need the right conveying solution.

Belt apron conveyors utilise field-proven belts used in our bucket elevators, and have a conveying capacity of up to 1,300 cubic metres per hour. In the feeding area below the kiln cooling system, the belt is protected by special shielding plates to prevent contact with the hot clinker.

Reliable and efficient homogenisation In order to ensure a consistent quality and minimise fluctuations in material characteristics so that the manufacturer can process the individual raw materials to high-quality cement, belt conveyors transport the individual raw materials to blending beds. These storage location systems mix and homogenise the different material batches and qualities. As a system supplier, BEUMER Group develops stackers and bridge scrapers. They evenly stack the bulk material and guarantee a maximum blending effect when removing it. BEUMER experts calculate the storage dimensions and provide the design and static calculations of the associated storehouses. Depending on requirements, the blending beds are adapted and designed either as longitudinal or circular stockpiles. A BEUMER circular stockpile can also be used in the coal store.

When the bulk loading head is placed on a filler neck, its sealing cone is lowered and the outlet spout opens simultaneously. The fill level in the vehicle silo can be adjusted 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. In the cement industry, stationary bulk loading heads are often not sufficient for large loading capacities. It should be possible to move the bulk loading head to each filler neck of the vehicle. To address this challenge, BEUMER Group has developed mobile loaders that can be moved along the vehicle.

he BEUMER Group uses its newly created Conveying & Loading Systems (CL Systems) division to develop and implement complex system solutions throughout the world for different industries, such as mining and the cement industry. The team is made up of experienced staff from the branches distributed around the world who work together on the projects. What they all have in common is that they understand the user, which means that they can develop tailor-made solutions. This is demonstrated by three impressive completed projects. „Mit unserer umfassenden System-lösDr Andreas Echelmeyer, who has headed the Conveying and Loading Systems division in the BEUMER Group at its headquarters in Beckum since August 2015, stated that “We can use our comprehensive expertise in system solutions to advise our customers and provide them with complete plant systems. Each industry poses its own unique challenges”. The most important point is to listen carefully to the customer and then ask the right questions. This can only be done locally.

customer. They are familiar with the specific customs of the particular country, understand the language and are wise to the particular requirements of the market and the customer. They identify appropriate potential and any possible need for action. The operators for whom BEUMER has successfully commissioned conveying plants includes the TPI Polene Public Company Ltd. The third largest cement producer in Thailand uses this complex system solution to transport crushed limestone from the quarry to the blending bed.

Difficult environment safely overcome Dr Echelmeyer was aware that “The challenge lay in the nature of the ground between the quarry and the cement plant”. It was exceptionally demanding. We had to make

allowances not only for numerous obstacles but also for a steep downhill section of the conveyor”. The team designed a complex, but above all cost-effective, integrated system comprising a total of eight belt conveyors covering a distance of 6,129 metres. BEUMER also supplied a PLC plant control system, transfer stations, filter systems and foreign body collectors. The system is designed for a conveying capacity of 2,200 t/h. The key items in the limestone transport system are two downhill belt conveyors operating in the generator mode followed by a troughed belt conveyor with horizontal curves. The material passes from the crusher discharge belt the first two troughed belt conveyors. The material is then transferred to a long overland conveyor with a speed of 4.5 m/s by an accelerator belt with v = 2.6 m/s. Three more conveyors finally transport the material to the blending bed.

always forms part of our service”. The standard scope of supply also includes intensive training of the operating and maintenance personnel.

Cost-effective operation guaranteed One particular feature of the downhill conveyors is their power generation. With a total of 640 kW/h generated energy that is fed into the power grid they make a substantial contribution to the cost-effective operation of the overall system. “We have a great deal of experience with conveying systems that can negotiate horizontal and vertical curves and operate in the generator mode” explained Dr Echelmeyer. During the development it was necessary, for example, to ensure safe and carefully controlled stopping of the large belt system to avoid problems during unavoidable events, such as a power failure.

Complex and curved Cong Thanh, the Vietnamese cement producer, also relies on the system solution expertise of the BEUMER Group for transporting crushed limestone from the quarry to the blending bed. There were intensive discussions about the various technical options in a joint workshop held with the producer. Various routes were worked out and compared on the basis of the narrow terrain that was available. Dr Echelmeyer explained that “We have appropriate software for this, with which we can match satellite and aerial photographs with topographical data”. One conveyor section that drops steeply in some places with numerous obstacles in the terrain and seven road crossings was particularly challenging.

BEUMER supplied four further belt systems with a total length of 989 metres to deal with the discharge from the blending bed and supply the material to the raw mill feed hopper. The conveyors were all built and installed in only eleven months. The commissioning phase, lasting three months, was followed by performance tests. The team then handed over the entire plant to the customer. Dr Echelmeyer emphasized that “We supervised and monitored the installation and commissioning to ensure long-lasting, trouble-free, operation. This

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY A total system consisting of four conveyors with a combined length of 3.5 kilometres is now in use, BEUMER also supplied a PLC plant control system. The main component is an overland conveyor with three horizontal curves and a total drive rating of 600 kW. It is designed for a continuous conveying capacity of 2,200 t/h. The heaped material is transported in trucks from the quarry face to the crusher. The limestone that has been pre-crushed to less than 100 millimetres is then transferred by discharge conveyors to an accelerator belt that feeds the long belt conveyor. The troughed belt conveyor for downhill transport is 1,000 mm wide, with a distance between centres of 3,200 metres, and drops 70 metres. The conveying speed is 4.5 m/s. The low operating costs are a special feature. Due to the downhill section the operation of the fully loaded conveyor is virtually energy-neutral. Its consumption during continuous operation is less than 200 kilowatts, which means that not even 0.1 kilowatt is required per tonne of transported material. According to Dr Echelmeyer “This, together with the low maintenance and repair costs, contributes substantially towards cost-effective operation”. After the installation and commissioning his team submitted the plant to a performance test that it passed successfully on all points.

Through the middle of the rainforest The CL Systems division of the BEUMER Group has also been very successful in Indonesia. The plant construction company Sinoma International Engineering Co. Ltd. was awarded the contract by the Indonesian end customer, Cemindo Gemilang, to supply a turn-key cement plant to Java with a daily clinker production of 10,000 tonnes. Sinoma commissioned BEUMER with the design and supply of an overland conveyor between the quarry and the plant. The challenges in this project were not only the demanding topographical routing but also the evergreen rainforest. Joint discussions were held between the BEUMER team, Sinoma and the end customer, and various routes were worked out and compared. “The very narrow corridor of land in addition to the tropical climate required a complex and sophisticated design” explained Dr Echelmeyer. Among other things his team designed a solution with tight horizontal curves that fitted optimally into the landscape.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY The entire system now comprises six conveying plants with a total of length of 7.6 kilometres. BEUMER also supplied acceleration and discharge conveyors and a PLC plant control system.

Controlled loading ensured The system is designed for a maximum continuous conveying capacity of 3,000 t/h. The main component is a 7.4 kilometre long overland conveyor. Upstream of this troughed belt conveyor is an intermediate hopper with a capacity of about 120 tonnes. The material passes from this hopper via a variable-speed discharge conveyor to a downstream acceleration belt that feeds the overland conveyor. This controlled loading system ensures costeffective operation of the plant, especially during the start-up phase. It also has a favourable effect in the dimensioning of drive components and the belt, and reduces the operating costs. According to Dr Echelmeyer “The acceleration belt with a speed of 4 m/s protects the belt of the overland conveyor and increases its service life”. For further protection there are also upstream units for collecting any iron and nonferrous metals. The limestone is then transported to the blending bed on short troughed belt conveyors. The troughed belt conveyor has a width of 1,200 mm and a distance between centres of 7,381 metres. One tail drive and two head drives are installed, each with a rating of 545 kilowatts. The plant conveys the material at a speed of 5 m/s and negotiates a height difference of minus 188 metres.

Protection of people and animals The conveying system also runs past villages and for long sections passes through rainforest that deserves to be protected. The CL Systems team has taken numerous design measures to reduce the noise impact on people and animals. Dr Echelmeyer explained that “Among other things, we have used silent idler rollers and appropriately dimensioned protective hoods at the drive station” . This means that the limestone passes through the rainforest in virtually silent mode. The construction time lasted only a year and the plant came into operation after 1.5 months.

he Associated Cement Company Limited (ACC), part of the Lafarge-Holcim Group, is also benefiting from the construction boom in India. The Indian cement manufacturer has therefore expanded the capacity of its factory in Wadi in the south Indian state of Karnataka to 13,000 tonnes per day. The BEUMER Group as main (EPC) contractor has got a repeat order on turnkey, for highperformance belt bucket elevator, type HGBW-HC 1250 x 177.5 m. With a distance between centers of 177.5 meters, this is currently the highest in the world. ACC’s decision is the result of the reliable performance of the bucket elevators supplied by BEUMER Group to the same client in the past with heights of 174m and 171m. The enormous size of this system enables a flow rate of around 650 tonnes per hour to be achieved, ensured by high-quality steel wire belts of particularly high strength.

Wirtgen Surface Mining:

Maximizing coal recovery by minimizing fines

Wirtgen surface miners – here the 4200 SM – cut and crush the rock with a special cutting drum and load it onto dumpers in a single pass via conveyor system. Wirtgen is the only manufacturer which can offer a performance range up to 3,000 t/h with direct loading by conveyor belt. (Photo: WIRTGEN GmbH)

ost coal mines measure the particle size distribution (PSD) of their plant feed to obtain information about the suitability of the feed for their process, especially regarding the fines content. But few mines know where these fines come from exactly, and few still actually measure the fines content at the face to compare it to the plant feed data and to optimize the processes in between – although optimizing the fines content of the run-of-mine (ROM) coal offers numerous savings and benefits. • The cost of washing coal fines is higher because of the processes used and the product losses that occur (resulting – as well – in a lower recovery). • With increased losses, more tailings have to be disposed in a suitable facility. • Coal that does not meet the customer’s size requirements cannot be sold. • A lower level of fines in the ROM results in a lower level of respirable and airborne dust, increasing workplace safety and reducing the risk of coal dust explosions. • Coal fines have the tendency to retain moisture which causes disadvantages in the downstream processes. The breakage of coal occurs throughout the process chain, from extraction at the face to the point where it is used. Some of this breakage is intentional, e.g. extraction and crushing, and some is unwanted, occurring when the coal is transported, stockpiled, sized or washed. Generally, breakage behavior greatly depends on the geology, but mining technology offers a chance to affect the amount of

fines generated along the process chain. It is of the utmost importance to use this chance and reduce the level of fines to the greatest possible extent. Wirtgen has conducted several large-scale field tests on material degradation recently. It was found that Wirtgen surface miners offer significant advantages when it comes to the reduction of fines.

Wirtgen surface miners A Wirtgen surface miner is a crawler-mounted mining machine with a rotating cutting drum for rock penetration mounted at the center of gravity. This ensures that the full machine weight of the miner can be transformed into rock penetration force. The cutting drum transfers the material onto a conveyor belt (Figure 1) from which it is directly loaded onto a dump truck.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY

The surface miner mines layer by individual layer down to the designated depth. The cutting depth can vary according to the seam thickness. Even thin seams – just 10 cm thick – can be mined and precisely separated from the interburden layers above and below it. This makes for a selective, cost-effective and eco-friendly mining of mineral deposits with a high degree of purity – without drilling and blasting.

PSD field tests

As the Wirtgen surface minor advances, the cutting drum rotates in an up-cut milling direction, cutting material out of the rock formations, layer by layer. The machine drives on four height-adjustable crawler tracks. (Photo: WIRTGEN GmbH)

In one coal mine, Wirtgen surface miners are operating alongside dozers that employ the conventional rip-andstack method. In view of the current coal prices, the mine was optimizing every step of the operation. This included optimizing the process for target size material, enabling most of the material to be processed in the cheaper coarse circuit of the processing plant. They also were keen on reducing crushing costs. Table 1 shows the plant’s feed size requirements.

In recent years, Wirtgen has conducted several largescale field tests on particle size distribution and material degradation. Coal and sedimentary ore from eight different pits were analysed to obtain their particle size distribution. Almost 8,000 t of material was screened to compare the material produced by surface miners and conventional mining methods.

Coarse circuit Fine circuit Loss

The test proved the suitability of the surface miner for this kind of operation once more: The machine delivered coal with a lower fines level and more target size material than the conventional dozer rip-and-stack method (Figure 2). In fact, out of the 1,500 t/h of coal delivered from the dozer to the processing plant, 225 tph are fines < 2 mm. With the surface miner, it will only be 185 tph. This means that 22% less coal has to be washed in the fines circuit and can be washed in the cheaper coarse circuit. Looking at the material < 1 mm, the plant even has to process 33% less fine material when working with surface miner coal. The surface miner delivers more than 70% target size coal (2 - 40 mm), while the dozer ranges at less than 58%. Additionally savings are generated in the crushing stage: only 17% of the material coming from the surface miner has to be crushed, as opposed to more than 26% when processing dozer coal. This will also result in more fines that have to be processed. Another trial location was a sedimentary ore deposit that is mined using surface miners and the conventional drill-and-blastmethod. There, the surface miner was able to continually feed material with a < 1 mm fines level as low as 15% to the processing plant. The normal plant feed (includes material of drill-and-blast and surface miner operation) contained 25% and more fines < 1 mm.

Impact of rehandling Rehandling contributes significantly to the material degradation occurring during the mining process. Simulating the rehandling of material, Wirtgen conducted a study to establish the amount of material degradation that does occur. For simulation purposes, 80 t of material were loaded by a wheel loader and run through a screening plant several times. With every throughput, the amount of fine material increased significantly. During five test cycles in coal, the amount of material < 4 mm increased from 19% to 26%, representing an increase of 34%. A similar result was found with sedimentary ore: the fine fraction increased by 24% during five test cycles (Figure 3). None of the steps in this rehandling simulation (loading, transport to the screen deck, sizing on the screen deck itself) involves the high material stress levels that would be induced, for example, by a dozer moving on stockpiled material. Nevertheless, significant material degradation was measured during the simulation. One can assume that the material degradation that takes place during stockpiling results in an even higher increase of the fine fractions. Keeping in mind that even this kind of â&#x20AC;&#x153;softâ&#x20AC;? rehandling causes significant material degradation and that a lot of rehandling steps occur all along the mining process, it is important to minimise the number of rehandling steps. What is more, every rehandling step itself results in additional costs. This is where Wirtgen surface miners offer a two-

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY

fold advantage: Material mined with a surface miner has not been blasted, but cut out of the ground by the rotating cutting drum, thus the level of fines is already low. But as the material is loaded straight onto a truck, rehandling is kept to a minimum and thus the level of fines stays as low as possible. Looking at the complete mining operation, using a surface miner simplifies mining operation and reduces the number of process steps (Figure 4), resulting in immediate cost savings.

Summary High levels of coal fines in the ROM material result in higher costs for washing, lower recovery, reduced workplace safety and negative impacts on the downstream processes. Knowing where these coal fines come from and optimizing the procedures along the process chain can yield significant savings.

Wirtgen has conducted several studies to address the fines problem and proved that it is possible to reduce the level of coal fines in the ROM: mining coal with a Wirtgen surface miner is a first step toward substantial savings in the process chain. Additionally, operating a Wirtgen surface miner will reduce the quantity of active equipment required to load one tonne of coal by streamlining the mining process. Furthermore, it will simplify the interdependence of process steps in mining operation, reducing costly time losses between the individual process steps.

Volvo articulated haulers:

half a century of success

olvo Construction Equipment is not just the leader in articulated haulers – it created the market in 1966. As the concept reaches its historic 50 year milestone, Volvo is still creating machines that go where others fear to tread.

The articulated hauler concept is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2016, marking five decades of transporting earth, gravel and a host of other materials over rough, muddy, slippery, steep or otherwise impassable terrain. And the company that commercially launched the concept in 1966 – Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) – is still the market leader. In 2016 Volvo CE continues to innovate with the launch of its H-Series range – which includes its biggest ever production articulated hauler – the 60 ton capacity A60H.

Issue 02 | 2016

Swinging ‘60s sees genesis of the articulated hauler 1966 was the year that the Soviet’s Luna 9 made the first rocket assisted landing on the moon, The Cultural Revolution began in China, England won the World Cup and the Rolling Stones were banned from 14 New York hotels. With so much going on it was easy to overlook the launch of the DR631, the birth of the articulated hauler. Essentially a development of an agricultural tractor (which Volvo then made) and a trailer, they were permanently joined via an

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY articulating hitch, and the front axle of the tractor removed. Nicknamed ‘Gravel Charlie’, it may have had only a meagre 10 ton payload, but it set the stage for greater things to come. Surprisingly though, its popularity grew only slowly to start with, sales in the early years being confined to its home Swedish market.

locks and drive configurations (6X4 or 6X6) as driving conditions change. Multiple sensors constantly check the speed differences within the driveline and select the best drive combination for the conditions. This also reduces tyre wear, driveline stress and fuel consumption.

One of the main reasons for the ongoing popularity of Volvo’s haulers has been the consistent development of the concept. Only one year after its launch, in 1967, the company introduced the DR860, the first articulated hauler with a bogie, meaning that the material in the load body remains level and stable (reducing spillage) while the wheels cope with very uneven road surfaces. The first hauler with a turbo-charged engine – the DR860T – arrived in 1970, and in 1979, things literally started to speed up, with the launch of the 5350. Capable of 50km/h, the ‘Offroad Express’ was able to maintain previously unheard of speeds, thanks to a suspended front axle and an automatic transmission. Traction was further increased with the addition of a six wheel drive system.

Full suspension: another industry first

The A-Team arrives The A20 was launched in 1986 with a 200 hp engine and a 20 ton payload. Things soon got a lot bigger in 1987 with the advent of the 35 ton abilities of the A35, which also featured a retarder built into the transmission to reduce wear on the service brakes. The 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 hauler was launched in the mid1990s, in the shape of the A40, pulled along by a mighty 400 hp engine and stopped by oil cooled wet disc brakes. Bigger, stronger, tougher, more reliable, easier (and cheaper) to operate, safer for the environment and the operator – the D-Class of articulated haulers from Volvo CE were introduced in 2000 and continued to be far and away the best-selling hauler. Covering payload ranges of 24 to 37 tons, all D-series Volvo articulated haulers – models A25D, A25D 4x4, A30D, A35D and A40D – featured a comfortable cabin and no daily greasing. For the first time diagnostic electronics also alerted both operator and technician of problems before they became failures; thus increasing uptime. Developments such as Automatic Traction Control (ATC) once again set Volvo CE apart in the hauler market. ATC relieves the operator from manually operating differential

Issue 02 | 2016

In 2007 Volvo CE decided to adopt a radical approach with the introduction of hydraulic suspension with automatic levelling and stability control on all wheels. This ‘Full Suspension’ variant provided excellent off road performance, allowing the hauler to travel at much higher speeds and increasing productivity. Even when fully loaded, the E Series haulers’ ability to ‘float’ over rough ground without bouncing and rolling improved operator comfort and safety. These benefits increase with the length of haul road, effectively absorbing all rough spots and allowing operators to maintain considerably higher average speeds – with or without a load. A hauler traveling at 55 km/h over rough haul roads was now possible, with minimal bouncing rolling or shaking.

F-Series: cleaner emissions, cleverer performance 2010 heralded the arrival of the F-Series, haulers that not only met the demanding standards set by the Tier 4i (US) and Stage IIIB (Europe) emissions legislation, but also featured a package of improvements in functionality, design, and maintenance. The F-Series also saw the fitment of CareTrack as standard, Volvo’s telematics system that enables remote monitoring of a wide range of machine functions (e.g. location, fuel consumption, service reminders etc.), optimizing customer operations. Volvo Construction Equipment’s articulated haulers took another confident step forward in 2014, with the launch of the G-Series, which not only met the stringent Stage IV/ Tier 4 Final emissions regulations, but also offered new features designed to improve comfort and productivity. The proven concept of oil-cooled wet multiple-disc brakes on the A35 and A40 models was also introduced on the A25G and A30G, reducing maintenance costs and increasing uptime, even on muddy or dusty job sites.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY The larger models in the range were also offered with Volvo’s award-winning onboard weighing system, which allows for precise machine productivity monitoring, helping to optimize payload and minimize wear, tire damage and fuel consumption. The system monitors weight, relaying information to load software integrated into the machine’s electronics. Indicator lights tell the hauler operator, as well as the operator of the loading unit, whether the hauler is at part or nominal load or whether it has been overloaded.

50 years young: the H-Series The H Series, launched in 2016, is the culmination of 50 years of trusted Volvo engineering and innovation. Responding to a growing demand among customers for articulated haulers with larger payloads, the H-Series also

Issue 02 | 2016

welcomes the 60 ton (55-tonne) capacity Volvo A60H to the range – the largest articulated hauler of any brand to hit the market. The Volvo A60H’s higher payload – a 40% increase on Volvo’s previous largest hauler the A40 – 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. Good stability, comfort and high hauling speeds are ensured by the H-Series, thanks to matched drivetrain, automatic drive combinations (including 100% differential locks), all-terrain bogie, hydromechanical steering and active suspension.

Keestrack is displaying a representative cross-section of its full product range at Bauma 2016 in the form of seven crushing and screening units for mobile processing in recycling applications and aggregate production. This includes current versions of proven models as well as brand new units through which the international manufacturer is showcasing even more innovative solutions, thereby aiming to set new standards in the mobile sector.

Redefining mobile processing A high level of mobility on-site and between job-sites, considerable ease of operation and maintainability and superior cost-effectiveness have for many years been the driving principles in the development of mobile processing technology at Keestrack. Long crawler tracks and statically optimised frames and superstructures facilitate simple positioning of the crushing and screening units, operating without support legs. To reduce transport weights, Keestrack is using high-grade tensile steels, which decrease the weight of the frames and structures compared to conventional materials. On the basis of many yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience, any impact or tensile impact stresses were identified in the construction phase and factored in through the use of suitable materials.

all its machines the option of GSM/UMTS-supported remote monitoring with GPS satellite positioning, enabling realtime access to the machine conditions and the remote maintenance of the unit control as well as updates. Keestrack’s own web portal enables the convenient management of machine and location data and the operational recording of operating sites (geofencing). Especially in the medium output range of between 250 and 300 t/h with frequently changing construction-site deployments, Keestrack plants lie primarily within transport weights and dimensions not requiring authorisation, thereby guaranteeing operators good machine performance thanks to a high level of flexibility and low transport costs. Keestrack offers hinged dolly systems for “mobilising” its largest machine types, such as crusher units over 350 t/h, which keep the overall weight of the trailer trucks below the 80 tonne limit. 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 for

Currently 5 screening plants, 2 stockpile conveyors and 3 crushing plants are also available in a diesel-hybrid version with a diesel generator and electrical operating gear, or in a version with an additional mains connection (plugin). While fuel savings of the hybrid package compared to conventional machines are approx. 53 %, all-electrically powered machines save up to 79 % vis-à-vis conventional diesel fuelled machines. Besides correspondingly lower exhaust emissions, the extensive installation of electric motors in screening machines and conveyors with a significant reduction of the necessary volume of hydraulic oil results in yet another environmental advantage, which, for example, clearly simplifies operations in water protection areas. Only the machine’s track drive and lifting cylinders are basically still powered hydraulically via the onboard diesel engine, which however results in a greater flexibility on site during set-up times and greater safety on machine operation without a connected power cable. In hybrid or all-electric impact crushers, the crusher is powered directly via the diesel engine (rotor by diesel) or the high-performance electric motor. If the clearly lower maintenance costs compared to diesel drives are factored into this, the moderate additional costs of the hybrid and plug-in 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. The slight additional weight of the electrical versions has a positive effect, which moreover guarantees a rapid relocation between the operation sites. Keestrack now also takes 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 trackmounted 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 machines are variously “K” for heavy-duty screening units, “C” for Keestrack production screening units and “D” for the mobile drum-screening units newly added to the product range.

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 (Argo) with a jaw width of 1000 mm and the crusher unit Keestrack R4 (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 (Destroyer 1313), that is presented at Munich as a highly productive mobile solution in the output range of up to 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 implements. The standard active doubledeck pre-screening with crusher bypass optimises the crushing result and minimises wear and tear. The machine

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 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. 60 tonne R8, with its hinged four-axle dolly for transporting the similarly compact large machine by trailer (transport width: 3.00 to 3.20 m; length 16.70 to 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 the first-ever track-mounted cone crusher H4 (transport weight: 35 to 50 t) . At the heart of the model designed for high-value secondary or tertiary production in the 120 to 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 postscreening module with an oversize material recycler for the production of three highgrade end products in one pass. Keestrack is offering a choice of three economical drive combinations: Direct drive of the crusher with electrical or electro-hydraulic peripherals (conveyors, screen units etc.) or the fully hybrid/plug-in versions with similar electrical crusher drive via on-board diesel generator or mains power.

Highly flexible screening technology The new Keestrack C8/K8 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 of Austrian development partner Binder + Co. guarantees in combination with the large screening surfaces of the double screening unit (2x 6000 x 1900 mm) 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 shorter-term construction-site deployments of the efficient large-scale machine worthwhile.

ith the mobile cone crusher MOBICONE MCO 11 PRO, Kleemann presents the first member of its new high-performance PRO Line. The plant has been designed specially for operation in quarries and is therefore very efficient, accessible for maintenance work and easy to operate.

MOBICONE MCO 11 PRO: Innovative and efficient

High productivity thanks to optimal material flow

With the PRO Line Kleemann is developing innovative plants which are particularly powerful and efficient and which meet the demands of natural stone processing. The first crushing plant of the PRO generation is the mobile cone crusher MOBICONE MCO 11 PRO. It can process up to 470 tonnes of material per hour. The powerful diesel-electric drive proves to be particularly efficient. The efficiency can be increased even further thanks to the option of an external power supply. Furthermore, the drive concept offers excellent linkage options with other Kleemann crushing and screening plants. The cone crusher was completely redeveloped and achieves its high crushing capacity not least thanks to the 250 kW electric motor, which is used to power the plant. With the fully automatic gap setting it is possible to make adjustments during operation.

Kleemann attaches huge importance to optimal material flow during the development of new crushing plants. For instance, it can be adapted to the best possible discharge pattern with the hydraulically movable feeding unit. The tried-and-tested Continuous Feed System (CFS) is also used in the MCO 11 PRO: The conveying capacity of the feeding conveyor is adapted depending on the crusher level. The crusher thus always reaches its optimal filling height and a high-quality end product can be constantly produced. If the plant is operated in combination with a Kleemann primary crusher, the CFS also controls the material feed of the upstream crushing stage for optimal utilisation of the entire plant combination.

NEWS & REPORTS Innovative control concept facilitates plant operation To facilitate the control of the plant, Kleemann developed a brand new operating concept. All components and functions are operated via a 12“ touch panel. Status displays and fault locations are shown on the screen in a transparent manner. The plant functions are also clearly illustrated in the menu. The plant operator is guided intuitively through the menu, which makes the control much more convenient.

Clever design for easy maintenance and transportation All key components of the drive unit are easy to access at the MCO 11 PRO. For example, the plant operator is able to refuel the plant from the ground. It is also possible to change the crushing tool without sealing compound. This simplifies maintenance and shortens downtimes. A further advantage of the MCO 11 PRO is its ease of transportability: The entire plant can be transported in one piece without the need to disassemble machine parts and is therefore quickly ready for operation.

GENERATION Z + HT22: New cutting tools for Wirtgen cold recyclers and soil stabilizers

The Wirtgen WR 240i cold recycler produces high-quality base courses reusing 100% of the reclaimed material. Roads can be rehabilitated even more cost-efficiently with GENERATION Z cutting tools and the HT22 toolholder. (Photo: Wirtgen GmbH)

t bauma 2016, Wirtgen was not only presenting the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s biggest range of products for cold recycling and soil stabilization. Along with the machines, the right choice of cutting tools also has a major influence on the quality and cost-efficiency of the application. Wirtgen have further enhanced their comprehensive range of cutting technology products. No two bases are identical. Sometimes debris or large blocks of stone make it more difficult to stabilize the soil, other times the base course to be rehabilitated is studded with abrasive materials. In other words, not only the reclaimed material and mix can differ significantly, the forces acting on the milling and mixing rotor also vary considerably. Catering to the demands of particularly tough on-site conditions, Wirtgen has launched a completely new and carefully matched combination comprising the new GENERATION Z point-attack cutting tools and the quick-change toolholder system HT22. And what does that mean?

Issue 02 | 2016

GENERATION Z + HT22: A robust combination with a long tool life First: Higher impact resistance. For one thing, the reshaped carbide tip of the GENERATION Z point-attack cutting tools has additionally been reinforced and the quality of the carbide material further optimized. This makes the cutting tool less likely to break and more resistant to large blocks of stone and abrasive materials.

www.advanced-mining.com

NEWS & REPORTS The GENERATION Z point-attack cutting tools from Wirtgen and the quick-change toolholder system HT22 have been specially developed to meet the specific requirements of cold recycling and soil stabilization. Even the toughest base course and soil can be processed economically with this system. Cutting tools with a shank diameter of 22 mm or 25 mm are available, depending on requirements. (Photo: Wirtgen GmbH)

Available for all wheeled Wirtgen recyclers and tractor-towed stabilizers The system as a whole has demonstrated its reliability in exhaustive test runs and more than 15,000 operating hours in a variety of applications. GENERATION Z + HT22 are available for all wheeled cold recyclers and soil stabilizers in the WR series as well as tractor-towed stabilizers in the WS series – from the WR 200i, WR 240i and WR 250 to the tractor-towed stabilizers WS 220 and WS 250.

Second: Reduced wear. The steel base, wear plate and clamping sleeve have also been modified in detail. This makes all the GENERATION Z components more durable. Since cutting tools with shank diameters of either 22 mm or 25 mm can be used, users can respond precisely to the different requirements encountered. Third: Greater stability. The quick-change toolholder system HT22 is a completely new development. The system components are extremely robust due to the revised geometrical design of the base and of the upper and lower parts of the toolholder, as well as the enhanced steel quality. The hammer head of the redesigned base ensures additional protection against wear.

The direct result for the user is a longer service life of the cutters and the quick-change toolholder system. Due to the resultant advantages – fewer tool changes, fewer and shorter machine downtimes, longer service intervals and higher machine availability – soil can still be stabilized cost-effectively no matter how difficult the conditions may be, and even severely damaged road pavements can be recycled efficiently. Compared with the conventional method of replacing the soil, soil stabilization is both costeffective and saves resources. The tractor-towed stabilizers WS 220 and WS 250 from Wirtgen are also used here. (Photo: Wirtgen GmbH)

he KMA 220i unites the expertise and experience that Wirtgen GmbH has gained in several decades of cold recycling. Since the 1980s, engineers have taken the lead in the industry in researching this environmentally friendly construction method. Today, Wirtgen is the market leader on a global scale, offering a range of 9 machines and plants for in-situ or in-plant cold recycling applications. The offer includes wheeled and tracked recyclers, as well as a slurry mixer and the WLB 10 S laboratory plant. The KMA 220i, the latest model in Wirtgen‘s cold recycling mixing plant series, celebrated its debut at bauma 2016.

Profitable handling of materials recycling and processing The powerful KMA 220i convinces in a broad range of applications, offering an outstanding mixing capacity of up to 220 t/h for the production of high-quality cold mixes from recycling construction materials: The mixing performance surpasses even that of many large stationary mixing plants.

Issue 02 | 2016

The mobile plant design offers easy setup and economically efficient mix production close to the construction site. The KMA 220i is environmentally friendly in every respect: Time-consuming truck transports between mix production and construction site are reduced to a minimum, which has a very positive effect on fuel costs. In addition, the source materials for mix production need neither be dried nor heated, which reduces CO2 emission even further.

www.advanced-mining.com

NEWS & REPORTS The consistent and complete recycling of reclaimed construction material, as well as the resource-saving and cost-effective processing of materials are becoming ever more important in view of continuously rising prices for energy and raw materials. With its mature functionality, the KMA 220i offers construction companies an attractive opportunity to successfully open up the potentials inherent in this line of business.

Outstanding mixing capacity of 220 t/h Compared to its predecessor model KMA 200i, the mixing capacity of the KMA 220i has been increased by 10% to 220 t/h. The plant carries a strong 6-cylinder diesel engine with an output of 129 kW, ensuring an appropriate performance capacity of the mobile mix producer. When operating at a capacity of 200 t/h, for instance, a full truck load of 20 tons of cold recycling mix can be produced every 6 minutes. Continuous production guarantees that even large road pavers, such as the Vögele Super 2500, are continuously supplied with cold mix. Being equipped with an own engine station, the KMA 220i is independent of external power sources. The engine is accommodated in a soundproof housing, which is beneficial to the environment, and can be switched to an economical ECO mode during non-productive times. Its low emission values permit the plant therefore to be operated also on urban construction sites.

The KMA 220i achieves high daily production rates at a consistently high mix quality. Homogeneous mixing of the construction materials is ensured by a twin-shaft continuous mixer with wear-resistant mixing arms and adjustable mixing blades made from special hard cast iron. The KMA 220i is capable of producing cold mix either in batch mode or in continuous mode. The mix is then directly loaded into trucks or stockpiled via the plant’s slewing discharge conveyor. Mixes produced with foamed bitumen are particularly suitable for stockpiling as they can be stored over extended periods of time.

Easy transport, fast setup result in time and cost benefits Favourable transport dimensions of 13.40 m in length (14.71 m including the cabin), 2.50 m in width and 4 m in height, as well as a total weight of around 29,950 kg enable the KMA 220i to be relocated quickly from one construction site to the next. A special permit is not required as the plant’s transport dimensions adhere to the international guidelines for road traffic. The complete mixing plant is permanently mounted on a low-bed trailer. The plant is transported using a standard tractor vehicle, and is fitted Mobile mixing plant with many fields of application: The KMA 220i requires a minimum of space and flexibly adapts to prevailing local conditions.

The plant does not require a foundation to ensure safe setup. The stable, telescoping front support legs are folded out manually. Hydraulically operated telescoping support legs are mounted below the water tank and between the axles, carrying the plant’s weight. Operator’s cabin, cement auger and discharge conveyor can be positioned hydraulically at the mere push of a button. The clever setup and transport concept of the highly mobile cold recycling mixing plant enables users to save time and money, for example, in terms of additional personnel required for setup.

Full range of mixing options: broad spectrum of applications A clear advantage of the KMA 220i is its versatility in processing different unbound construction materials. With the addition of binding agents, cold mixes of superior quality are produced from a large variety of virgin aggregate mixtures and/or reclaimed recycling materials. Recycling materials suitable for processing include milled material, as well as all materials from the upper road pavement.

Issue 02 | 2016

The KMA 220i offers a full range of options also with regard to binding agents. Using cement, bitumen emulsion or even foamed bitumen, and adding water in addition to any of these, the mobile plant is capable of processing the source material into a cold mix suitable for use as a bound base layer. Further mixing options include the combined use of cement and bitumen emulsion, or of cement and foamed bitumen. The formula for binding agents and aggregate is determined by preliminary laboratory testing. Using the innovative foamed bitumen is particularly efficient as the quantities to be added are typically very small. Precise weighing and metering of the binding agents is effected via a load cell and microprocessor control. The cold mixes produced by the KMA 220i are ideal for use on motorways, for high-quality base layers in road and path construction, and for car park and storage areas in industrial estates. Cement, bitumen emulsion and foamed bitumen are the binding agents used for highly stressed road pavements. Cement is used for the production of hydraulically bound base layers. Bitumen emulsion and cement in the construction material mix produce bituminous / hydraulically bound base layers. The use of foamed bitumen and cement results in stable base layers of high flexibility.

NEWS & REPORTS BHS-Sonthofen GmbH

New twin-shaft batch mixer with rubber provides low-cost mixing:

Mixing high-abrasive material with minimum abrasion A

t bauma 2016, BHS-Sonthofen is introducing a new generation of twin-shaft batch mixers of type DKXK that features a rubber trough specially designed for producing sand-lime bricks. This new type of batch mixer features particularly low wear to the trough – an important factor when processing abrasive mixtures such as sand-lime bricks.

Mixer for the sand-lime brick industry The new DKXK version that BHS has developed for the proven twin-shaft batch mixer is optimally adapted for producing sand-lime bricks. This new innovation allows this industry to take advantage of BHS-Sonthofen twinshaft mixing technology. The results are homogeneous mixing, short mixing times and low wear. The intensive mixing process also utilizes a high percentage of the lime used in each mixture, which in turn produces a very dense packing mixture. The first mixer in this new generation – which has a 2,300-liter capacity – will start operations in February 2016 in Baden-Baden (Germany) as the main mixer upstream of the reactor. Since 1971, the client has been operating a BHS-manufactured twin-shaft batch mixer of similar design that they are now replacing with a more powerful state-of-the-art unit. Sand-lime bricks are made of sand mixtures containing a high silicate, quicklime and water content. This material is highly abrasive. Considerable wear occurs in previously used conventional mixing systems such as intensive mixers. The reason so much wear occurs is because the fine sand acts like sandpaper on the mixing tools and on the mixer‘s trough wall.

Issue 02 | 2016

BHS has therefore specifically developed the DKXK type of mixer for producing lime mixtures as an alternative version to the world‘s proven DKX type of twin-shaft batch mixer. Instead of a steel trough with a lining made of wear tiles, BHS builds their sand-lime brick mixer with a rubber mixing trough that pulsates when mixing, thus effectively preventing sticky mixing material from caking. This reduces blade and trough lining wear as well as reduces the engine‘s power consumption.

NEWS & REPORTS Construction of the first twin-shaft batch mixer in the new DKXK variant for producing sand-lime brick mixtures with rubber mixing trough (blue). (Photo: BHS Sonthofen GmbH)

In the future, BHS-Sonthofen will offer the DKXK twinshaft batch mixer for the sand-lime brick industry with a filling volume ranging from 1,000 to 6,500 liters.

Twin-shaft batch mixers of the DKX series This solution has long proved itself as one of BHSâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s very reliable single-shaft continuous mixers. DKXK can optionally equip the mixing blades with Widia (tungstencarbide) plates, which significantly increases service life. The new DKXK mixer variant offers several advantages when compared with the intensive mixers that have been used in the sand-lime brick industry until now: In contrast to the circular motion of other mixing systems, the threedimensional mixing principle of the twin-shaft batch mixer produces a more intensive exchange of material. This results in shorter mixing cycles with the effect of a lower energy consumption. In addition, the mixer requires less maintenance because wear parts are easy to replace. This is another reason why the twin-shaft batch mixer by BHS-Sonthofen is an economical alternative for producing sand-lime brick mixtures.

Issue 02 | 2016

The twin-shaft batch mixers from BHS-Sonthofen have a mixing mechanism whose arms, which are in the form of an interrupted spiral, are arranged on two counterrotating mixing shafts. They generate a circular, threedimensional movement with intense material exchange in the turbulent overlap area of the two mixing circuits. Counter paddles on the shaft ends redirect the entire material, so that it is repeatedly returned to the mixing process. They achieve a higher mixing effect than comparable single-shaft or intensive mixers as all the material is constantly in movement even at low speeds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and at significantly lower energy consumption. In contrast to other mixer systems, twin-shaft batch mixers can be filled to a much higher level, so that they are more compact with the same throughput. Thus in new-build plants the mixers score points with their small dimensions. Moreover in case of retrofit and plant modifications in existing installations a more powerful mixer can be installed. Instead of a steel mixing trough, the sand-lime brick mixer DKXK has a rubber mixing trough (blue), which pulsates during the mixing process to prevent caking. (Photo: BHS Sonthofen GmbH)

High-capacity crusher for crushing rock:

BHS-Sonthofen: New VSI rotor centrifugal crushers with extra high throughput

t the bauma 2016 in Munich BHSSonthofen will be presenting the new VSI rotor centrifugal crusher (RSMX) with „TwinDrive“ for the first time – i.e. a double drive – for a throughput rate of up to 580 t/h. The first delivered machine has immediately proved to be a success in the treatment of gold-containing ores.

Two drives expand the range of applications The VSI rotor centrifugal crushers of type RSMX are successfully used throughout the world for crushing rock, including the treatment of abrasive ore. However, many potential users, e.g. in mining and ore treatment, require even more powerful machines for their production processes. With the RSMX 1222 with „TwinDrive“, i.e. with a double drive, BHS-Sonthofen has now introduced a high-end version of the VSI rotor centrifugal crusher with a drive power of up to 2 x 315 kW. The machine processes up to 580 t of rock per hour depending on the properties of the feeding material and the desired final product.

NEWS & REPORTS The first machine of type RSMX 1222 with a drive power of 2 x 250 kW was recently delivered and has passed the high requirements in the treatment of rock in a goldmine near Benxi City in the Chinese province of Liaoling. It processes granite with a feeding size up to 70 mm into sand with grain sizes between 0 and 5 mm and gravel with a grade between 5 and 20 mm. The proportion of sand is approximately 50 to 60 percent. The design engineers were required to apply almost twice as much drive power to the shaft of the rotor than before. The solution was to use two drives offset by 180° instead of one. This arrangement has several advantages, because the motors introduce considerably fewer lateral forces into the shaft of the rotor than a large one. The distributions of forces in the shaft are therefore balanced, the bearings are under less stress and the service life of the machine is increased.

The feed material is supplied to the center of the VSI rotor centrifugal crusher (RSMX) from above and thrown against the impact plates by the rotor. (Photo: BHS Sonthofen GmbH)

Owing to the large opening in the machine cover and the tried-and-tested twin-chamber rotor, the VSI rotor centrifugal crusher can process coarser feeding material than other crushers of this type. The diameter of the feeding material can range up to 120 mm, depending on the type of rock. The machine is unchanged apart from the new drives. It can be used for exactly the same tasks as the proven VSI rotor centrifugal crushers (RSMX) with only one drive. They process between 30 and 400 t/h depending on the drive power with drive powers of 75 to 400 kW. Both machine types are therefore also suitable, for example, for the selective crushing of softer and harder material. The throughput of the machine and reduction ratio is depending on the characteristics of the feeding material. BHS offers the option of carrying out tests with the user‘s rock at the company‘s Technology Center in Sonthofen. In this way, the customer can be assured that their machine will achieve the desired results, before making an investment decision. The customer also obtains important information about the downstream processes, such as basic data for calculation of the screen surfaces.

The feeding material is supplied centrally from above and picked up by the two centrifugal chambers in the rotor. Owing to the high circumferential speed of the rotor of up to 70 m/s, the material in the centrifugal chambers is powerfully accelerated towards the outside and ejected from the two discharge openings of the rotor. The rock is primarily broken up by the directed one-off impact of each grain on a fixed, ring-shaped wall, which either consists of an anvil ring or a stable material bed in the upper part of the housing. An excellent cube-shaped grain is produced in the process.

he BHS rotor impact mills of type RPM are becoming more and more popular for the production of sand for dry mortar. They have become the standard in certain countries for the production of extraordinarily fine sand.

Aufbereitung von Sand für Trockenmörtelanlagen The BHS rotor impact mills produce well graded sand in the proper shape with optimal grading curves which are exactly adapted to the „dry mortar“ application. The good cubicity of the sand grains is crucial for enabling the mortar to be processed easily and for ensuring its good pumping capacity. These properties have contributed to the fact that a large number of dry mortar plants worldwide are operated with BHS machines. One of the most important sales markets is Southeast Asia. Dry mortar in Southeast Asia is often not only used as plaster for outdoor and indoor surfaces or

Issue 02 | 2016

as masonry mortar or screed, but rather especially for fine finishing plasters. In contrast to Germany, colored plasters are frequently used in Thailand, as are rough plasters, which have a particularly decorative structure and are coated without priming. The requirements for the fineness of these products and thus for the properties of the sand are equally extraordinary. Particularly high-grade products are manufactured specially in Thailand, where sand having a grain size between 90 and 300 µm is used. A grain with a half millimeter diameter in Thailand is already considered a coarse grain. Crushing the rocks and sifting out the oversized grains is not sufficient to achieve the specified grading curve. The crushed rock must instead be selectively broken down into fractions and then put back together into a precisely defined grading curve in accordance with prescribed formulas.

Rotor impact mills have particularly proven themselves here, since the properties of the discharged product can be precisely set by adjusting the circumferential speed of the rotor and the width of the annular gap. This makes it possible to produce sand with grading curves which precisely conform to the specification. Twelve BHS rotor impact mills are currently operating on the premises of Thailand‘s leading dry mortar manufacturer, Siam Mortar, with ten more already having been delivered and set for commissioning in 2016. BHS delivered three additional machines for a project with another Thai manufacturer – also for dry mortar. Moreover, Siam Mortar is operating four BHS VSI rotor centrifugal crushers of type RSMX for the crushing of granite – also for the production of dry mortar sand. In brief, more than 30 BHS machines are operating in the dry mortar industry in Thailand.

The global shortage of sand Sand is becoming a scarce product worldwide. Even desert regions must purchase sand from other countries, which must be shipped thousands of miles. In certain regions, the shortage of sand is so blatant that certain states have banned its export. The reason for the shortage is the fact that the shape and size distribution of natural sand, which is found, for example, in desert sand, make it unsuitable

Philipp Parnitzke, BHS Area Sales Manager for Asia and the Pacific, explains the success in Thailand: „Our unique selling point is the fact that the rotor impact mills produce sand with cubical grain shape in finely graded fractions having precisely the grading curve required for dry mortar sand. It meets the requirements of our Thai customers exactly. Moreover, they can be serviced easily and quickly and exhibit little wear in proportion to their high production output.“ The rotor impact mills from Sonthofen have become the standard in Thailand. This is proven, for example, by the fact that Siam Mortar awards contracts for new dry mortar plants to various plant constructors, but still uses the BHS rotor impact mills in every single project. The crushing of the feed material can be selectively controlled by variation of the rotor‘s circumferential

as a building material. It also contains contaminants and must be extensively washed, treated and dried, which drives the costs upwards. The BHS rotor impact mill, frequently referred to in professional circles as the „Sandmaker“, will not solve the problem, but will alleviate it somewhat. It produces crushed sand with a cubical grain shape from rocks, which is very well suited as an additive for concrete or for the production of other building materials. The machines convert up to 70 tons of rock per hour into sand.

The BHS rotor impact mill of type RPM Mineral plaster and dry mortar contain lightweight and fine rock grains which are either natural or industrially produced by crushing machines such as rotor impact mills.

Intensive impact and shear crushing occurs between the horseshoe-shaped impact hammers and the toothed anvil ring. The machine can be adjusted to your requirements in an optimum manner using the rotor speed and the variable annular gap. The BHS rotor impact mill achieves a sand yield of up to 80%, depending on the hardness and grain size of the feed material.

The BHS rotor impact mill produces excellently shaped fine cubical crushed sand, making it particularly suited for the crushing of rocks. It is best suited for the processing of dry mortar. The BHS rotor impact mill is a high-power crushing machine with a vertical shaft. The rotor is shaped like a ring and equipped with horseshoe-shaped hammers. This unique impeller rotor in combination with the toothed anvil ring achieves selective crushing and an outstanding grain shape. The mill is suitable for the crushing of all lightly to moderately abrasive minerals with a maximum feed material of up to 56 mm.

NEWS & REPORTS

The function The feed material is fed into the machine from above using the central input nozzle. When it hits the rotor, it is accelerated outwards by the centrifugal forces, struck by the horseshoe-shaped impellers, and hurled against the anvil ring. Here, the crushing takes place by means of the impact and shearing effect. The material recoiling from the anvil ring hits the hammers again, where it is crushed by the repeat impact and slung back against the anvil ring. This process is repeated several times and causes the intensive, multiple strain on the feed material. The material leaves the rotor through the gap between the rotor and the anvil ring and falls downwards through the two discharge chutes.

More efficient crushed sand production

HS-Sonthofen introduced their new rotor impact mill of type RPMF, a variant of the proven rotor impact mills of type RPM, at bauma 2016. The new RPMF machines produce even finer fractions as well as output material with a significantly higher proportion of fine sand. As such, machines of this type are more efficient in producing crushed sand. The RPMF design is a variant of the rotor impact mills of type RPM, which are known in the industry as ‘sand makers.’ BHS designed both types of machines to be used primarily with pre-crushed, brittle and mildly abrasive materials such as limestone. Impact crushing has proven to be the best method for crushing these kinds of materials.

Issue 02 | 2016

BHS-Sonthofen developed the new machine type specifically for finer output sizes. Thanks to a longer, narrower milling gap and increased circumferential speed (of up to 90 m/s) in the rotor, machines of type RPMF archive higher reduction ration than other machines do. As a result, they provide users with output material that contains a higher proportion of fine-sand.

www.advanced-mining.com

NEWS & REPORTS Ludwig Bechteler, Sales Director of Mixing Technology at BHS, oversaw testing for the new machines: “The tests conducted in our technology center demonstrated that RPMF machines produce a significantly higher proportion of usable fine sand in the grain-size range of 0 to 1 mm than rotor impact mills of type RPM do. For example, RPMFs produce over 50 percent more usable dry mortar sand.” The new machines of type RPMF also feature a significantly narrower gap between the grinding tools and the anvil ring. The gap width can be set to a minimum of 5 mm. The new machines yield significantly more fine sand and make plants more efficient in producing sand by reducing the return flow of coarse material, which in turn reduces the number of times that material needs to pass through the mills. This also means that these machines require less screening and conveyor technology. Moreover, since they produce finer feed material, these machines reduce workloads for ball mills, which can crush material to a particle size of under 40 µm.

The feed material can have a particle size of up to 32 mm. A BHS rotor impact mill of type RPM can be used to pre-crush feed fractions up to 56 mm.

BHS-Sonthofen produces the new rotor impact mills of type RPMF in two different designs: • RPMF1116, which has a circumferential speed of up to 90 m/s and a throughput of up to 25 t/h • RPMF1516, which has a circumferential speed of up to 90 m/s and a throughput of up to 55 t/h

The technology in detail The RPMF machines combine high rotation speeds and a narrower milling gap, so the engineers who designed them needed to control significantly greater centrifugal forces while maintaining a tighter production tolerance.

NEWS & REPORTS The feed material is inserted into the machine from above via the central feed-in pipe. When it impacts with the rotor, the material is accelerated towards the outside through centrifugal forces; there, the horseshoe-shaped hammers hit it and throw it against the anvil ring. As the material impacts with the ring, it is subjected to impact and shear forces that crush it. After the material rebounds from the anvil ring, it comes into contact with the hammers once again, which further crush it and throw it back against the anvil ring. The process is repeated multiple times, subjecting the feed material to intense stress. The material leaves the rotor through the gap between the rotor and the anvil ring, falling down through the two outlet chutes. The mill can be operated alternately clockwise and counter-clockwise, which reduces wear on the hammers. Easy-to-replace spacers allow the operator to modify the milling gap in accordance with the wear on the impact hammers.

he dry Combimix process developed by BHS-Sonthofen removes clay adhesions from screen waste produced in quarries and gravel pits. Operators report that they are able to convert more than 90% of contaminated feed material into salable rock grade using the Combimix system. At the same time, the dry process significantly reduces water, energy and material costs.

Economical alternative to wet processing of clay-and-rock mixtures Many quarries contain large quantities of material contaminated with clay that has not been possible to be processed economically up to now. Frequently, the material has to be dumped at considerable expense as mining overburden.

Issue 02 | 2016

However, wet treatment is one method that allows this material to be used. Washing and subsequent water treatment as well as sludge disposal is extremely costly. The process often fails because many quarries lack access to the volumes of water required. Dry processing in conventional continuous mixers using quick lime is also been problematic because the retention times of the material in the mixer are so short that the clay cannot blend adequately with the lime.

www.advanced-mining.com

NEWS & REPORTS Another operating site of a DKXC type Combimix system for the dry treatment of clay-and-rock mixtures and other contaminated rock materials, located in the South of France. (Photo: BHS Sonthofen GmbH)

The solution: Variable retention time The patented BHS Combimix system developed by BHS-Sonthofen offers an economical alternative and its practical suitability has already been proven in several quarries. The basic principle has been known for years but it has not been possible to implement the system due to various limitations in mixing technology: Mixing clay with quick lime changes the properties of the clay, which can then be reliably separated from the rock.

Combination of batch and continuous mixers The Combimix process is based on the combination of twin-shaft batch and continuous mixers manufactured by BHS-Sonthofen. Unlike traditional continuous mixers, the retention time of the mixture in the Combimix system can be regulated within broad limits â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from less than 30 to more than 100 seconds.

For the first time, twin-shaft continuous mixers of type DKXC allow regulation of the retention time of the material in the mixer within broad limits. The clay has enough time to mix intensively with the lime and detach from the rock. The intensive movement of material during the mixing process also assists the cleaning process. After screening, the feed material is so clean that it is no longer classed as waste and can be sold. Grains greater than 5 mm in diameter that are largely free of clay can now be further processed in the gravel quarry. Grains less than 5 mm in diameter form a lime/clay mixture that can be sold to the agriculture industry, for example.

Issue 02 | 2016

www.advanced-mining.com

NEWS & REPORTS BHS regulates the retention time via a gate on the underside of the mixing trough. The company is the only manufacturer that offers a trough with this design. Extracted material is replaced with an equivalent volume of feed material. Continuous measurements are taken during this process to monitor the weight of the mixer. The quick lime is metered by a screw conveyor inside the mixer according to the clay content in the feed material in a range of less than one or a maximum of five percent of the feed quantity. Together with the long retention time, the established three-dimensional mixing principle of the BHS-Sonthofen twin-shaft mixer makes an important contribution to achieving good results: The lime is mixed intensively with the clay so that the treated clay reliably separates from the rock. Costs for supplying water, reslurrying, filtering and disposing of the slurry are no longer incurred because the material is treated dry.

BHS-Sonthofen manufactures different versions of mixer for throughputs between 85 and 1000 t/h. The grain size of the feed material can range up to 150 mm, depending on the mixer size.

Practical experience BHS has installed the Combimix system in several quarries. One facility has been operating extremely successfully for several years in a quarry owned by the company Cemex based in France. Before the system was installed, more than 100,000 t of rock/ clay mixture from the quarry had to be dumped every year. More than 90% of contaminated feed material is now sold as rock grade thanks to the Combimix system.

A costintensive procurement of a new plant becomes redundant because the customer does not have to take ownership of the plant. How financing proceeds, whether the plant is bought, or leased for the time being and later transferred to the customer at a set price, is first contractually agreed on. In addition to the smaller financial hurdle, the customer gets a plant that is the most efficient in operation.

Learning by doing: employee training during plant operation From the very beginning, experts who know the technology and processes like no one else operate the plant. This guarantees maximum production performance. Customer’s employees, who will eventually take over the operation of the plant, are able to observe the experts and receive training at the same time. Moreover the operator model facilitates access to complex and new technologies. Suppliers benefit from the operator model on the market and increase their sales by generating new business fields.

Underground processing plant for fluorspar in a mine in Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Erzgebirge

he opening up of a new mine in Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) in late 2013 marked a milestone for Ger-man mining, continuing the tradition in this region, following decades of stasis. The reasons for the extraction of fluorspar and baryte are closely tied to steadily rising raw material prices on the world market. The operator, the Erzgebirgische Fluss- und Schwerspatwerke, chose HAVER NIAGARA GmbH when it came to designing and installing an underground processing plant for the mine in the Erzgebirge. HAVER NIAGARA GmbH took on the challenge to set up a flexible and economically viable processing plant (Fig. 1). Despite the limited space and the high requirements to be met by the processing plant, a tailored plant was designed (Fig. 2) that fulfils the high expecta-tions of the operator to full satisfaction.

www.advanced-mining.com

NEWS & REPORTS Underground processing plant for fluorspar in a mine in Germany’s Erzgebirge The processing plant roughly consists of two independent production lines, which were installed in two parallel underground caverns. In the first process stage, the blasted raw material is removed from the feed bin by means of recipro-cating feeders and fed to a NIAGARA scalper (Fig. 3). This reduces the load to be processed in the downstream jaw crusher. The material from the primary crusher is conveyed on a troughed belt conveyor to a NIAGARA screen, which as well as screening off the ultrafine material, splits the mate-rial into two sub-streams to feed an X-ray sorting plant.

This sorter separates the raw spar from the “dead rock” on the basis of the atomic density. The raw spar obtained in this way is crushed in a cone crusher to the necessary finished grain. The crusher discharge is sent via a downstream NIAGARA screen to a loading silo, there the raw spar is loaded onto road trucks. From there, the material is conveyed to the processing plant above ground on the site of Nickelhütte Aue GmbH, where it is ground and enriched in a flotation plant and then separated into the main components baryte and fluorite. After drying, two highgrade raw materials are produced, which are then sold. Over the next years, HAVER NIAGARA GmbH will be on hand providing services for EFS to keep the complete plant at its best both economically and ecologically.

HAVER & BOECKER offers three proven systems with eccentric drives:

Eccentric screening systems for every job

ccentric screening systems by HAVER & BOECKER are in operation in all industrial countries worldwide. They go to work for pre-scalping and classifying coarse materials and for difficult-to-screen materials with high feed-in rates and feed-in surges. Typical applications are ore, hard stone and limestone processing. Also cases involving discontinuous feed-in when classifying sticky and/or heavily soiled material.

Over 80 years of experience in eccentric screening • Three different systems for different requirements • Uniform, high screening performance • Specialists for eccentric screening systems HAVER & BOECKER develops, builds and supports complete plants and specialized machines and plant components for mineral processing technology.

the unpretending HAVER company and so in this way it has steadily fortified its international leading position. Depending on the application at hand, three different eccentric screening systems are among the HAVER & BOECKER product range today: the TYLER F-CLASS, the NIAGARA® eccentric screen and the HAVER F-CLASS. With the TYLER F-CLASS the entire drive train is buffered as usual. The NIAGARA® eccentric screen uses an absorber element between the screen box and support frame. A combination of both of these drive systems is used by the HAVER F-CLASS, which has floating external bearings embedded in rubber which buffers the shock forces of the eccentric drive shaft. The requirement in many sectors of reducing dynamic loads to a minimum is successfully fulfilled by the F-CLASS eccentric screening machine.

www.advanced-mining.com

NEWS & REPORTS The heart of all three systems is the proven eccentric drive. The drive systems generate a constant, loadindependent rotary vibration movement of the screen box under all operating conditions. The workhorse of the vibration motion is the drive draft which is supported by four bearings. This arrangement ensures a steady vibration cycle and thus constant material acceleration, which in turn ensures clog-free screening. Perfect screen operational quietness is assured by the mass balancing mechanism.

n 2015 HAVER & BOECKER further developed the proven NIAGARA® M-CLASS in order to optimize the different features of its predecessor models and added an even more efficient, high-performance multiple deck screening machine to its product line.

NIAGARA M-CLASS The NIAGARA® M-Class is the optimum solution when it comes to fine and ultrafine particle ranges and when multiple cut sizes are needed and cut size precision is increasingly essential. The application range of linear vibrating screens is broad. The system is used for classifying industrial minerals, foodstuffs, chemical products, ores and metals.

Issue 02 | 2016

Depending on the design, the multiple-deck screening machine has a vast screen surface while at the same time is characterized by its space-saving feature. In modular design the individual screen frames are horizontally stacked above each other and serve to act as the frame of the machine. The ability to later adapt the machine, e.g. in order to increase material throughput, is yet another advantage of its modular design.

www.advanced-mining.com

NEWS & REPORTS Easy and partial replacement of screen cloth (Photo: Haver NIAGARA)

The machine’s further development ensures even more exact screening results and prevents screen cloth clogging. The number range has therefore been extended from 2 G to 4.5 G. Depending on the task at hand, the frequency and the amplitude are adjusted accordingly. Thanks to the machine’s isolation frame, dynamic loads are reduced to a minimum and acts to avoid vibrations though the building.

The machine’s ease-of-maintenance is considerably improved by a new type of transversal tensioning. The double screen-frame is no longer needed and the additional costs for frame tensioning service are thus redundant. Replacing standard screen cloth now can be done more rapidly, with greater ease, partially, and even by the customer himself. The NIAGARA® M-Class multiple deck screening machine is offered in two sizes, whereby the number of screen decks and the technical specifications vary in accordance to the job at hand.

Also despite the 58 m² of screening surface, the compact machine is a real space-saver. A multiple deck screening machine for conducting trials is available at the HAVER & BOECKER R&D Center and so assures optimum machine layout and design according to the job at hand.

• Simulators for tower cranes, crawler cranes up to 300 tonnes, duty cycle crawler cranes and deep foundation machines from Liebherr • Training simulators with realistic functions in real time • Focus on training, education, safety and efficiency

At Bauma 2016 Liebherr presented its enhanced LiSIM concept. With these simulators it is possible to drive tower cranes, duty cycle crawler cranes, crawler cranes up to 300 tonnes and deep foundation machines in a virtual environment under even more realistic conditions. Ambient conditions such as wind, fog and rain, as well as different times of the day and night, are simulated and trained in a realistic manner. This increases the safety and productivity in real operation. Thanks to the use of original machine components such as cab, control panel and switch cabinet, actual data can be imported via the real control. Machine operators and service technicians can be trained with the new LiSIM simulators for Liebherr crawler and tower cranes, as well as deep foundation machines. The virtually assisted training allows crane drivers and machine operators to test their limits without taking any safety risks.

The real crane signals generated at the control stand are processed and visualised in an original switch cabinet, the movements are transferred through a motion platform to the cab. This conveys a realistic driving feeling and illustrates the handling of the tower crane in real time. In the LiSIM simulator, crane drivers obtain practical experience with extreme situations, which extends beyond the theoretical knowledge. For example, crane behaviour in wind, fog and rain, as well as at different times of the day and night, can be simulated. This represents a new dimension in terms of flexibility and safety for the training of crane operators. In realistic driving situations technicians learn, for example, about the so-called teach-in process, the programming of a workspace boundary, as well as the checking of the overload. Thus, Liebherr ensures that service technicians are fit for work on the construction site. Sales staff learn how to drive a crane in a safe environment and training institutions can simulate different operating conditions during the training.

Issue 02 | 2016

Training for crawler cranes and deep foundation machines in a safe environment The Liebherr simulators for crawler cranes up to 300 tonnes, duty cycle crawler cranes and deep foundation machines also offer the opportunity to train the handling and usage of the selected machine in a safe environment under extremely realistic conditions, for instance, tough environmental conditions can be reconstructed. At the same time, machine operators can significantly increase the efficiency on the construction site by training in a virtual environment. The simulators are available in three different configurations: integrated in a classroom, as a spacesaving cab solution or in an easy-to-transport container. Each of these models is equipped with a multifunctional instructor station for the trainer. The Liebherr simulators enable challenging training. Full HD flat screens and high-quality surround speakers produce images and sounds, which are typically seen and heard in the operatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s cab. In addition, the motion base ensures that the machine operator experiences realistic and accurate movements in the Liebherr simulator, comparable to a flight simulator.

NEWS & REPORTS Comfort and performance for really efficient usage Liebherr enhanced the comfort for the driver in the new series. For instance, the R 922 has new seats, a 7â&#x20AC;&#x153; touch screen and larger windows. This gives the driver a better view of the working environment, thus increasing work safety. In addition, the optimised Positive Control hydraulic system makes the combined movements of the machine even more fluid, which in turn increases the breakout forces and breakaway torques. The largest fuel tank available on the market, which is part of the equipment of the R 922, as well as the bigger attachments available as optional equipment, permit really efficient usage.

Reliable components and simplified maintenance concept The R 922 is driven by a reliable 110 kW / 150 hp Cummins diesel engine. The six-cylinder common rail system is also compatible with diesel with a high sulphur content or with biodiesel B20. High performance and greater reliability are thus guaranteed over the long term.

The robust travel mechanism, the optimised Liebherr tooth system Z for attachments, as well as the optional backhoe bucket in a heavy-duty version, ensure long and efficient use of the new crawler excavator. With a new maintenance concept Liebherr was able to reduce the costs of excavator maintenance. For instance, with the R 922 the maintenance elements are positioned close together and are easily accessible from the ground. The automatic central lubrication system is installed as standard and leads to increased productivity resulting from time savings.

Customers can select from different ripper tooth options; 3-tooth or 5-tooth as well as other features such as, a hydraulic rope winch, counterweight or tow hitch.

The hydrostatic drive keeps the engine speed at a constant level. All drive components and the intelligent Liebherr engine management are optimally adapted to the speed, contributing towards reduced fuel consumption.

Different undercarriage configurations are available for the PR 716 Litronic. The XL and LGP undercarriage versions are available depending on type of terrain and work conditions. The Liebherr free- turning bushings (FTB) running gear is also available for fast-wearing ground conditions. This swivel running gear, exclusively developed for Liebherr, is particularly well-suited for deployment on soft, abrasive ground and considerably extends the service life in sand, for example. If used in areas with impact loads, such as on stones and rocks, Liebherr considers the trusted lubricated-for-life chains to be the ideal solution.

The optional inching brake pedal facilitates the transition from conventionally driven machines to Liebherr generation 6 crawler tractors. With this equipment option, both the travel speed and also the brake can be controlled via the foot pedal.

Simple maintenance guarantees low operating costs

Modern design, comfortable new cab

Central maintenance points, wide access flaps and engine compartment doors, a standard tilting driver‘s cab, as well as the swivel-mounted fans for cleaning, optimize maintenance access for servicing the new PR 716 Litronic.

The modern design of the generation 6 crawler tractors, with falling chassis edges on all sides and a panoramic glass pane, offers the operators an optimum all-round view of the terrain as well as the work equipment. The view over the engine hood is unobstructed, as the exhaust pipe was positioned behind the A-post. The operator’s cab in the Compact class integrates numerous features of the larger generation 6 machines. Travel and working hydraulics encoders make ergonomically safe handling possible thanks to the new T-shape and, as a result, more comfortable work. Thanks to the preselection of the desired driving speed directly at the joystick, the crawler tractor can be controlled precisely, in particular at lower speed. A safety lever is not needed, as the operator’s presence is automatically identified by the integral contact switch. The new PR 716 Litronic also features a touch-controlled system display for Liebherr earthmoving machines. The operator is thus constantly informed about all key operating parameters. Key functions can be set and adjusted clearly and intuitively. Special attention was paid to low noise emissions during the design stage. At 75 dB(A) in the operator‘s cab, the PR 716 is well below the legal requirements. For optimum illumination of the working area, halogen headlights or high performance LEDs are used depending on the chosen equipment level.

At Bauma 2016, Liebherr presented the new generation of mid-size wheel loaders that fulfil the emissions guidelines of emission stage IV/ Tier 4f. With the L 526, L 538 and L 546 wheel loaders, the new range comprises three models that remain true to the reputation of this machine class as powerful and reliable all-rounders. In order to further increase the robustness and durability of these wheel loaders, Liebherr has installed larger axles and reinforced the steel structures. The designers have holistically reworked the interior of the cab to provide higher standards of comfort. Liebherr has developed the new L 526, L 538 and L 546 models in view of the current requirements of the market. The proven and efficient hydrostatic driveline also impresses with fuel savings of up to 25 % in comparison with wheel loaders of the same size class. Liebherr offers numerous application-specific solutions to increase

NEWS & REPORTS From the new range, Liebherr will show the L 526 and the L 546 at Bauma 2016. As standard, these two models have respective tipping loads of 7,700 kg and 10,500 kg, and bucket sizes of 2.1 mÂł and 2.8 mÂł.

Larger axles and robust steel structures increase reliability The new all-round wheel loaders fulfil the requirements of companies from the widest variety of sectors. For example, an important field of application is the recycling industry, where operators place particularly high demands on the machines. Multiple-shift operation with up to 6,000 operating hours per year and working with solid rubber tyres or foam filled tyres are typical of wheel loader operations in this sector. Reliability is of the utmost importance as wheel loaders in recycling operations frequently play key roles in the production process. Liebherr has prepared the new all-round wheel loaders for these stringent requirements with targeted investment in robustness. In order to increase the stability of the machines, Liebherr has installed larger axles than in the previous generation in all three models. These have automatic self-locking differentials that provide the greatest degree of traction even on rough terrain.

The new generation of all-round wheel loaders embodies the decades-long experience of Liebherr in the development, design and production of steel components. Comprehensive optimisation of the entire steel structure improves the durability of the machines, for example in demanding industrial applications. In particular, the developers have reinforced the structure of the steel frame and the two lift arm variants. High-quality hydraulic components round off the package for increasing durability.

Independent of the utilisation profile: more efficient driveline ensures productivity Efficient diesel engines of emission stage IV / Tier 4f power the new wheel loaders in the mid-size range. Engine output is tuned to the requirements of the powerful hydrostatic drive. Here, the proven Liebherr Power Efficiency plays a decisive role. The system controls the engine in such a way that it delivers the greatest possible amount of power even at low engine speeds. The result is a higher degree of effectiveness and fuel savings of up to 25 % in comparison with wheel loaders of the same size class.

NEWS & REPORTS The hydrostatic driveline allows rapid and continuous acceleration in all speed ranges, without discernible gearchanging processes and without interruption in tractive force. In addition, it autonomously applies the brakes so that the service brake only has to provide supportive assistance and thus remains almost free of wear. Continuous traction control, combined with automatic self-locking differentials, prevents wheelspin. This means that tyre wear is reduced by up to 25 % and operating costs are decreased.

With respect to maintenance, the focus is also on safety and comfort. The service personnel only have to open a cover to gain access to the engine bay. Maintenance work can be conducted safety from the ground. The well-considered installation location of the components guarantees that all maintenance points are safely, easily and rapidly accessible. Operators thus save time with maintenance.

The proven exhaust gas after-treatment system comprises a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), diesel particle filter (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). The system is state of the art in this machine class. It effectively reduces the emission of pollutants.

Focus on versatility: specific solutions for standard and industrial applications

The fact that companies can work productively with Liebherr wheel loaders in the mid-size range is also due to the unique component installation location. Liebherr installs heavy components such as the diesel engine in the rear. The centre of gravity shifts to the rear of the machines. The wheel loaders thus require less additional counterweight and attain higher tipping loads with low operating weight. This means that operators can use larger buckets in everyday operations and hence optimise handling capacity and productivity.

No compromises with safety and comfort A wide ladder leads to a roomy, modern comfort cab that is ergonomically adjusted to suit the machine operator. The interior of the cab is logically structured and provides a spacious feeling. Storage and stowage facilities appear tidy and are well-conceived down to the smallest detail. Displays, control elements and operatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat form an ergonomic unit. The control instruments are laid out in a clear manner so the machine operator can view all operation-related machine data at a glance. In addition they can adjust the height of the touch-screen display to each individuals preference on the A pillar. The new electrohydraulic system allows the operator to programme the lift arm and bucket positions from the cab as desired. An optionally-available, powerful air conditioning system always ensures a pleasant working temperature. The design of the cab offers the machine operator good visibility to all sides. The large glass and window surfaces are extended a long way downwards, improving all-round visibility. Together with the standard reversing camera, these measures ensure the safety of both man and machine.

Issue 02 | 2016

The Liebherr wheel loaders in the mid-size range offer a wide range of equipment options for customer-specific applications. Customers can choose between Z-bar linkage for standard applications and parallel lift arms for industrial applications. Both lift arm variants offer rapid response characteristics and allow efficient working. The Z-bar linkage impresses with its high torque in lower lift arm positions. It is the right choice when the wheel loader has to break-out material from a pile. The challenges are different in the case of industrial applications. For example, recycling companies often work with heavy equipment such as high-tipping buckets to move bulky and demanding material such as scrap metal, building rubble or glass. The parallel lift arm system is the best choice for such duties. It has high power in the upper lift arm range and offers parallel guidance that is advantageous for such applications. If desired, the LIKUFIX hydraulic quick hitch system is available for the wheel loaders in the mid-size range. With LIKUFIX, the machine operator can safely change between several mechanical and hydraulic tool attachments within a short period of time simply by pressing a button in the cab. Here, the hydraulic lines are connected automatically. In this way, the widest variety of applications can be conducted efficiently with the right tool attachment without the machine operator losing valuable time in changing the equipment. Independent of the field of application, the cooling system of the new all-round wheel loader reliably performs its task. It is installed directly behind the operatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cab in the rear chassis. This is the cleanest part of the wheel loader, where the radiator can draw in low-dust air. In the case of particularly dust-intensive applications, such as in sawmills or paper mills, equipment options such as a fluff screen, reversible fan drive and a coarse-meshed

Enhanced safety for attachment changeover: Further development of hydraulic quick coupler from Liebherr

• Standard for all hydraulic quick couplers on Liebherr hydraulic excavators • From mid-2016 also standard for Liebherr quick couplers on other manufacturers’ hydraulic excavators • All quick couplers which have already been supplied can be retrofitted with minimal effort and cost

At Bauma 2016 Liebherr showcased the further developed, hydraulic quick coupler for hydraulic excavators. A second proximity sensor now provides additional safety during the changeover of attachments. The operator of a hydraulic excavator must be able to clearly see and recognise at a glance whether the quick coupler and the attachment are correctly connected following a tool change. To make this more practical, Liebherr has added an additional safety component to its hydraulic quick coupling system: a second proximity sensor.

Issue 02 | 2016

With the hydraulic quick coupler from Liebherr, the function of the first proximity sensor serves to determine the position of the retracted or extended bolt. It forwards the signal whether the quick coupler is locked or unlocked to the warning buzzer or the display. The new second proximity sensor also monitors the position of the

NEWS & REPORTS attachment to the quick coupler. If the bolts are extended without the attachment being connected to the quick coupler, a warning tone sounds in the cab and a warning signal appears on the display. It stands out from other status messages with its yellow colour. If the machine operator wants to deliberately move the hydraulic excavator without an attachment he or she can mute the warning tone after four intervals. The visual warning on the display still remains active. When the hydraulic quick coupler is operated again this muting is automatically deactivated and the signal tone is emitted again. This combination of visual and acoustic responses of the locking position increases the safety of the machine operator and staff on the construction site. The second proximity sensor is endorsed by the professional trade association of the construction industry BG Bau. It is included as standard for all hydraulic quick couplers on Liebherr hydraulic excavators. From mid2016 Liebherr will also offer it as standard on Liebherr quick couplers on alternative manufacturersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hydraulic excavators. All quick couplers which have already been supplied can also be retrofitted with minimal effort and cost. With the hydraulic Liebherr quick coupler a simple and safe change of mechanical attachments is possible from the cab. If the hydraulic coupling system LIKUFIX is added, then the quick and safe changeover of hydraulic attachments is possible at the touch of a button. This increases the versatility and productivity of the excavator whilst also ensuring that the safety of the job-site is preserved. Be it for road construction, demolition or pipeline and cable construction: The use of a range of construction machines and the corresponding attachments is an important prerequisite for the efficient and timely completion of demanding projects.

New Doosan DX140W-5 and DX160W-5 Wheeled Excavators Offer Outstanding Class-leading Performance

aterloo, Belgium - Like all Doosan Stage IV compliant machines, the new DX140W-5 14 tonne and DX160W-5 16 tonne wheeled excavators from Doosan Bobcat EMEA feature a distinctive new machine styling scheme marking the many design advances they incorporate, which go well beyond simply meeting Stage IV emission regulations and set a new benchmark for wheeled excavators worldwide.

The new DX140W-5 and DX160W-5 wheeled excavators provide significantly higher performance in every area than the previous generation Stage IIIB machines, combining enhanced comfort and controllability together with new features to boost fuel efficiency, uptime and return on investment, with a focus on increased power, robustness and agility. Both new models have the same 6-cylinder Doosan engine and power outputs as the Stage IIIB machines, but have 5% more traction force, ensuring superior performance compared to both of the previous generation machines. Another important aspect of the new ‘-5’ models is the ‘CabSus’ cab suspension system which reduces vibration and provides a 1 dBA reduction in cab noise, further increasing safety and comfort for the operator.

CoreTMS Fleet Management System as Standard In common with all Doosan Stage IV excavators above 14 tonne, the DX140W-5 and DX160W-5 are factoryinstalled with the new CoreTMS state-of-the-art wireless fleet monitoring system. Designed specifically for the Doosan range, the CoreTMS system is a new tool providing comprehensive information about machine performance in a dual mode (satellite, GSM). Because the software in the CoreTMS system has been upgraded to communicate directly with the EPOS system on a Doosan excavator, it is the only tool of its type capable of providing this level of information, delivering insightful and cost-saving data about equipment to help customers work more effectively.

Outstanding Comfort and Controllability The operator also benefits from the ergonomic and comfort features offered as standard in the new cab on the DX140W-5 and DX160W-5 wheeled excavators, which are among the best on the market and include the world exclusive Doosan jog shuttle switch; four work and four power modes; control of pressure and flow of the auxiliary lines directly from the operator’s seat; and joystick and pedal proportional control with super controllability via short and low stroke joysticks and a new system allowing usage of the two-way lines either via the joystick or pedal. This last feature is standard on all ‘-5’ machines and provides an alternative to controlling attachments (like a shear or a breaker) solely via the joystick, which may become uncomfortable after several hours or following continuous repetition and thus increases operator comfort. It is also helpful when precision is required – as the operator can keep full control of the excavator via the joystick while using the two-way pedal for attachments.

Also available for retro-fitting in a kit form, the CoreTMS system is supplied with a free 3-year subscription in new Doosan ‘-5’ excavators and customers are provided with their own account so that they can manage the machines in their fleet using the system.

No Diesel Particulate Filter At the heart of the new DX140W-5 and DX160W-5 excavators is the well-proven 6-cylinder, turbocharged Doosan DL06P water-cooled diesel engine which offers convenience and lower costs by meeting Stage IV emission regulations without the need for a diesel particulate filter

The operator also has the advantage of improved side visibility, a new user-friendly 7 inch FT LCD colour monitor control panel, a fully automatic climate control system, more storage compartments for paperwork and other items, as well as an improved layout with the most important switches grouped together within easy reach on the right

NEWS & REPORTS (DPF), through the use of cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and selective catalyst reduction (SCR) after-treatment technologies. The DL06P engine provides power outputs of 102.2 kW (137 HP) and 113.3 kW (152 HP) at 2000 rpm, respectively, in the DX140W-5 and DX160W-5 excavators. As well as the DL06P engine, which is one of the most reliable and fuel efficient ever produced by Doosan, new innovative and exclusive features have been introduced that reduce fuel consumption by an average of 10% compared to the previous generation models. Among these features is the new ‘Trip Meter Setting’ screen which allows operators to check fuel consumption daily (or over a desired period) directly from the control panel and to save even more fuel, there is a special Doosan-developed system, Smart Power Control (SPC), which monitors both engine and pump power and limits unnecessary outputs depending on whether the work is light or heavy. The SPC can be used with all 4 work modes (E, S, P, P+). Further fuel efficiency results from the electric fan clutch on both models, which drives the cooling fan at optimum speed. Based on coolant, hydraulic oil, cooled charged air temperatures and target engine speeds, the fan speed is controlled electrically – resulting in much lower fan noise and better fuel efficiency. A side-view camera is available as an option and the control panel allows the views from both the rear and side view cameras to be combined on the same screen, simply by pressing a button on the control panel. For more safety when using the cameras, a menu bar now stays open so that the operator can keep an eye out for warning symbols and the levels of key gauges. New boom lights on the front equipment more than double the lighting available and for better protection, a guard has been added as standard. The auto-idling rpm on the DX140W-5 and DX160W-5 automatically increases from 800 rpm to 1100 rpm when the temperature goes below 10 °C. This boosts the efficiency of the heating inside the cab.

dozer blade has been increased along with an improved shape to facilitate pulling and mixing of materials. The size of the outrigger covers has been reduced to lessen the possibility of damage. Made from cast steel, the arm end boss and arm link boss and side plates have been combined to increase durability. Piping layouts have been redesigned to avoid interferences between hoses and pipes, decreasing pressure loss as a result. The twin tyre rubber spacer has a new symmetric design and a new tight rim connection ensures no bending and a good connection to withstand impacts from stones/other materials. To further maximise durability and reduce noise, all ‘-5’ models are equipped with EM (Enhanced Macro-surface) bushings, which are also much more effective than regular bushings when greased. Air pre-cleaners are fitted as standard on all ‘-5’ wheeled excavators, to blow much of the dust, dirt, insects, rain and snow out of the air intake, to ensure cleaner air is sent to the engine air filter. This extends air cleaner servicing intervals, enhancing uptime and productivity. Doosan has also added protection to the inner cab air filter and redesigned the cab air-conditioning filters for easier replacement. To avoid permanent engine damage, an acoustic alarm has been added to call the operator’s attention to ‘water in fuel’. If the operator ignores the signal after several alerts, the engine and pump are automatically derated. In addition, to make it easier for operators to understand the importance of warnings and to communicate the proper warning codes, pop-up menus appear with detailed information with easier to identify warnings. The Engine Emergency Stop Switch has been relocated at the side of the seat so that it is directly accessible from ground level, for faster access in case of emergency. Starshaped anti-slip plates ensure that the steps stay much cleaner and more effective and to meet new EU regulations, safety bars are installed as standard. All current options including mono bloc and arti boom, short and long arms and hydraulic lines are available for the new DX140W-5 and DX160W-5.

NEWS & REPORTS the DX165W-5 has the same forces and lifting capacities depending on the application as the DX160W-3 Stage IIIB model. The DX165W-5 can therefore lift 5.87 tonne at 4.5 m reach over the front (at 3 m high) and 4.28 tonne over the side. This is a better performance than any other short tail wheeled excavator in its class. With a rear swing radius of only 1850 mm and a very small turning circle, the minimum swing diameter of the DX165W-5 when fully retracted is only 4.5 m, which greatly facilitates use of the machine in inner-city locations and in all other tight spaces.

Power and Fuel Efficiency At the heart of the new DX165W-5 excavator is the well-proven 4-cylinder, turbocharged Perkins 1204F watercooled diesel engine which offers convenience and lower costs by meeting Stage IV emission regulations without the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF), through the use of cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and selective catalyst reduction (SCR) after-treatment technologies. The 1204F engine provides an output of 102.1 kW (137 HP) at 2200 rpm. As a result, the DX165W-5 is the most powerful short tail wheeled excavator in its class, but also offers a 10% increase in fuel efficiency compared to the DX160W-3. New innovative and exclusive features have been introduced that reduce fuel consumption. Among these are the engine auto shut-off, which shuts down the engine after the machine has been idling for a specified time; the new ‘Trip Meter Setting’ screen which allows operators to check fuel consumption daily (or over a desired period) directly from the control panel and, to save even more fuel, there is a special Doosan-developed system, Smart Power Control (SPC), which monitors both engine and pump power and limits unnecessary outputs depending on whether the work is light or heavy. The SPC can be used with all four work modes (E, S, P and P+). Further fuel efficiency results from the electric fan clutch on the excavator which drives the cooling fan at optimum speed. Based on coolant, hydraulic oil, cooled charged air temperatures and target engine speeds, the fan speed is controlled electrically – resulting in much lower fan noise and better fuel efficiency. Travel speeds in the DX165W-5 range from 3 to 37 km/h (depending on local regulations) with two speeds (high & low and creeping) plus cruise control. The DX165W-5 also has the largest hydraulic capacity in its class with the main pump flow delivering 2 x 171 l/min with a system pressure

Outstanding Comfort and Controllability The ergonomic and comfort features offered as standard in the new ROPS certified cab are among the best on the market and include the world exclusive Doosan jog shuttle switch; four work and four power modes; control of pressure and flow of the auxiliary lines directly from the operator’s seat; and joystick and pedal proportional control with super controllability via short and low stroke joysticks and a new system allowing usage of the two-way lines either from the joystick or pedal. The last feature is standard on all ‘-5’ machines and increases operator comfort when controlling attachments (like a shear or breaker) from the joystick for long periods or very repetitively. It is also helpful when precision is required, as the operator can keep full control of the excavator via the joystick while using the two-way pedal for attachments. The highly sensitive and low-effort joysticks are combined with clear convenient controls to enable operators to work safely, smoothly and confidently with minimum effort for increased comfort, efficiency and productivity. The operator also has the benefit of improved side visibility, a heated air suspension seat, a new user-friendly 7 inch FT LCD colour monitor control panel, a fully automatic climate control system, more storage compartments for paperwork and other items, as well as an improved layout with the most important switches grouped together within easy reach on the right console. The pressurised cab incorporates sealing, air filters and increased inside air pressure to prevent dust from getting into the cab (ISO 10263-3). Operators have access to all filters/oil vehicle information for maintenance prevention. Nine intervals can be entered manually and monitored and there are 13 different warning alerts. For more comfort and safety, the front axle oscillation can be automatically or manually activated for better lifting and digging. Other important aspects include the ‘CabSus’ cab suspension system which reduces vibration and cab noise, further increasing safety and comfort for the operator. A side-view camera is available as an option and the control panel allows the views from both the rear and side view cameras to be combined on the same screen, simply by pressing a button on the control panel.

CoreTMS Fleet Management System as Standard

New boom lights on the front equipment more than double the lighting available and for better protection, a guard has been added as standard.

In common with all Doosan Stage IV excavators above 14 tonne, the DX165W-5 is factory-installed with the new CoreTMS state-of-the-art wireless fleet monitoring system. Designed specifically for the Doosan range, the CoreTMS system is a new tool providing comprehensive information about machine performance in a dual mode (satellite, GSM). Because the software in the CoreTMS system has been upgraded to communicate directly with the EPOS system on a Doosan excavator, it is the only tool of its type capable of providing this level of information, delivering insightful and cost-saving data about equipment to help customers work more effectively.

A floating boom system is available to increase productivity and reduce fuel consumption. This is ideal for levelling, truck loading, rock scraping and hammer work. In addition, it reduces the stresses and vibrations transmitted to the machine and work group. Two modes are available: a flotation mode that leaves the boom free to move upwards and downwards following bucket and arm movements and a breaker mode where the boom is free to move downwards to maintain optimum hammering effect and avoid excessive force. The front components automatically follow the breaker as it penetrates into rock and other surfaces.

Also available for retro-fitting in a kit form, the CoreTMS system is supplied with a free 3-year subscription in new ‘W-5’ wheeled excavators and customers are provided with their own account so that they can manage the machines in their fleet using the system.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership In the undercarriage, the chassis frame has been reinforced to reduce stress and improve durability. The outrigger frame has also been strengthened by moving to a box type assembly, with an increase in the thickness of most parts for additional strength. The dozer blade and H-Link have been reinforced to increase rigidity and optimise tightening between the two structures. The height of the dozer blade has been increased along with an improved shape to facilitate pulling and mixing of materials. The size of the outrigger covers has been reduced to lessen the possibility of damage. To further maximise durability and reduce noise, all ‘-5’ models are equipped with EM (Enhanced Macro-surface) bushings, which are also much more effective than regular bushings when greased. Air pre-cleaners are fitted as standard on all ‘-5’ wheeled excavators, to blow much of the dust, dirt, insects, rain and snow out of the air intake, to ensure cleaner air is sent to the engine air filter. This extends air cleaner servicing intervals, enhancing uptime and productivity. Doosan has also added protection to the inner cab air filter and redesigned the cab air-conditioning filters for easier replacement.

NEWS & REPORTS DOOSAN BOBCAT EMEA

New Doosan DX190W-5 High Performance Wheeled Excavator Can Be Supplied With New Wide Axles Option aterloo, Belgium - The new 19 tonne W DX190W-5 Stage IV compliant wheeled excavator from Doosan Bobcat EMEA provides significantly higher performance in every area, combining enhanced comfort and controllability together with new features to boost fuel efficiency, uptime and return on investment, with a focus on increased power, robustness and agility. Like all Doosan Stage IV machines, a distinctive new machine styling scheme heralds the many design advances, which go well beyond simply meeting Stage IV emission regulations, setting a new benchmark for wheeled excavators worldwide.

From the standpoint of performance, the DX190W-5 has 7% more traction force compared to the previous generation model; the engine torque has been increased by 5%; fuel consumption has been reduced by an average of 10% and lifting capacities have increased on average by 4% (front/side). Another important aspect is the ‘CabSus’ cab suspension system which reduces vibration and provides a 1 dBA reduction in cab noise, further increasing safety and comfort for the operator. The DX190W-5 can be offered with the new ZF wide axles option. This option provides a 2.75 m width, to further increase lifting capacities and stability, especially useful for when big loads are being lifted regularly or when working on top or along trenches. On average, and depending upon work, lifting capacities on site are increased by 13%. This option is also available on the larger DX210W-5 wheeled excavator which was launched last year at Intermat 2015.

NEWS & REPORTS This last feature is standard on all ‘LC-5’ machines and provides an alternative to controlling attachments (like a shear or a breaker) solely via the joystick, which may become uncomfortable after several hours or following continuous repetition and thus increases operator comfort. It is also helpful when precision is required – as the operator can keep full control of the excavator via the joystick while using the two-way pedal for attachments. The operator also has the benefit of improved side visibility, a new user-friendly 7 inch FT LCD colour monitor control panel, a fully automatic climate control system, more storage compartments for paperwork and other items, as well as an improved layout with the most important switches grouped together within easy reach on the right console. The pressurised cab incorporates sealing, air filters and increased air pressure inside to prevent dust from getting into the cab (ISO 10263-3).

Increased Power and Fuel Efficiency At the heart of the new DX190W-5 excavator is the wellproven 6-cylinder, turbocharged Doosan DL06P watercooled diesel engine which offers convenience and lower costs by meeting Stage IV emission regulations without the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF), through the use of cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and selective

Issue 02 | 2016

catalyst reduction (SCR) after-treatment technologies. The DL06P engine provides an output of 113.3 kW (152 HP) at 2000 rpm. As well as the DL06P engine, which is one of the most reliable and fuel efficient ever produced by Doosan, new innovative and exclusive features have been introduced that reduce fuel consumption by an average of 10% compared to the previous generation model. Among these features is the new ‘Trip Meter Setting’ screen which allows operators to check fuel consumption daily (or over a desired period) directly from the control panel and to save even more fuel, there is a special Doosan-developed system, Smart Power Control (SPC), which monitors both engine and pump power and limits unnecessary outputs depending on whether the work is light or heavy. The SPC can be used with all 4 work modes (E, S, P, P+). Further fuel efficiency results from the electric fan clutch which drives the cooling fan at optimum speed. Based on coolant, hydraulic oil, cooled charged air temperatures and target engine speeds, the fan speed is controlled electrically – resulting in much lower fan noise and better fuel efficiency. A side-view camera is available as an option and the control panel allows the views from both the rear and side view cameras to be combined on the same screen, simply by pressing a button on the control panel. For more safety when using the cameras, a menu bar now stays open so that the operator can keep an eye out for warning symbols and the levels of key gauges.

TA400 heralds start of Terex Trucksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new generation articulated hauler range

he first fruits of Terex Trucksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; product renewal programme was focused on articulated haulers at Bauma 2016, with the flagship 38 tonne TA400 spearheading a significantly upgraded new generation of dump trucks.

Featuring new livery and frontal design, the 38 tonne TA400 articulated dump truck is the largest in the Terex Trucks articulated range. Showcasing improvements in quality and durability, the TA400 is the first of a new generation of articulated machines, the result of a major ongoing product renewal programme.

High performance, low emissions

Further lowering operational costs, as well as enhancing safety, is the force-cooled multi-disc brakes. Supported by an electronic activated exhaust brake and a six-stage modulating transmission retarder, the TA400 benefits from longer brake component lifecycles. The transmission now features high performance oil that extends time between service intervals to 6,000 hours, and the powerful drivetrain maintains traction in even the most difficult terrain thanks to longitudinal and limited slip transverse differential locks.

Terex Trucks has invested heavily in the new TA400 to ensure customers receive increased performance and lower operating costs. To guarantee maximum uptime of the truck, investments have been made to ensure increased durability and protection of truck components, including upgraded hydraulic hoses, electrical interfaces, transmission mountings and brake pipes. In order to prolong hydraulic component lifecycles, Terex Trucks has introduced magnetic pressure filters that reduce the risk of contaminants entering the system, and improves the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil.

The engine and drivetrain is well matched, utilising automatic adaptive shifting and a pre-selected two-speed transfer box (drop box), providing good performance and productivity for all haul conditions. The new, generation 10 TA400 introduces the Stage IV compliant series of engines for the European market. The Stage IV system features the latest generation Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), combined with Exhaust Gas Regeneration (EGR) technology and a Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT).

NEWS & REPORTS The portfolio ranges from displays and instrumentation to solutions for telematics, electronic control units, and tires as well as drive and exhaust-gas after treatment technologies, conveyor belts, vibration and hose technology, air spring systems, and interior materials. Continental will present a selection from its portfolio at the bauma in Munich. “We are therefore contributing to safe, efficient, clean, and comfortable mobility outside the automotive sector as well and offering solutions tailored to our customers‘ individual needs – all from a single source,” added Hans-Jürgen Duensing, member of the Continental Executive Board, who used this year’s visit at the bauma for on-site talks.

Greater safety for off-highway vehicles and machines Thanks to a new telematics solution, fleet managers, drivers, and maintenance teams are always informed about relevant tire-related data. In combination with the tire pressure monitoring system, the solution facilitates the efficient management of vehicle fleets. On a central server, information is collected, made available, and transmitted. The system informs the user when the tire pressure has to be corrected, for example. Vehicle downtimes are thus reduced as the danger of tire damage is minimized, and the outlay for regular, time-consuming maintenance work is lessened. The right choice of tire also makes a significant contribution to vehicle safety. Continental has a comprehensive range of pneumatic and solid tires for the various areas of application. Heavy devices and tractor units such as pickups, road construction equipment, tractors, or combines also move safely on rubber tracks. In addition, integrated and retrofittable camera systems enable 360-degree monitoring of the vehicles. Vibration isolation and noise reduction products damp vibrations and structure-borne noise, isolate machinery oscillation, and noticeably increase ride comfort. Components can be safely lifted, powered, and controlled using high-pressure hydraulic hoses. Electrically conductive fuel hoses ensure a reliable media supply.

Efficient work and transport With its wide variety of instrumentation solutions that range from the dial-type gauge to the fully programmable 12-inch terminal, Continental is following the trend toward

Issue 02 | 2016

connected vehicles that make drivers‘ lives considerably easier by displaying information clearly. The display and terminal solutions improve everyday working life, from maneuvering on the construction site to the targeted management of agricultural areas. An on-board telematics unit transmits data from and to the vehicle. This sees Continental play a supporting role in saving time and making work more efficient. Furthermore, when it comes to machinery leasing, data about the duration and place of use can be stored for billing purposes. The conveyor belt solutions for transporting goods – including products for steep-incline conveying, closed belt systems, heat-resistant conveyor belts, and lightweight PVC belts – are reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. Air springs also offer potential in the off-highway sector. For example, they can be used in situations where contact pressure needs to be generated. Continental has also designed its drive belts for the off-highway sector to be able to cope with dynamic power transmission at extreme stress under full load. For example, they perform impressively well in earth-moving or agricultural machines thanks to their energy efficiency, zero-maintenance requirements, long service life, and high level of reliability.

Clean mobility and enhanced comfort Manufacturers are using high-activity catalytic converters and efficient SCR systems to ensure low emissions. To meet the high legal requirements in the future as well, Continental offers emission-relevant modules of the engine and exhaust system control unit, fuel injection technology, sensors, SCR systems and injectors, catalytic converters, filters, tanks, and hoses, not to mention software and engineering. Additional particulate filters, or combination filters with an SCR coating to remove the nitrogen oxide, are used for this purpose for Stage 5 of exhaust system cleaning as applicable for engines from 130 to 560 kW from 2019 onward. Whether in construction or agricultural machines or cranes, manufacturers are equipping the cabins of their vehicles and machines with increasingly high-quality fittings and placing a growing emphasis on the highest possible level of comfort. The modular design of Continental‘s driver workstation ensures an extremely flexible, user-friendly workstation with fittings that can be adapted for numerous applications and customer requirements. All switches are positioned within reach, while overhead switches can also be replaced by additional panels, if required.

Surface Scanner from ContiTech Makes Conveyor Belt Damage Visible

• Conti Inspect systems make servicing and the planning of conveyor belt repairs easier • Conti Protect systems automatically stop conveyor belt systems in the event of major damage

Conveyor belts are the heart of many transport systems. Their importance becomes particularly clear when damage occurs. If this results in an extended system downtime, the entire production chain frequently collapses. This in turn results in high sales losses for the mine operators. To allow conveyor belt systems to run free of faults and cost-effectively in the long term, even when subjected to high loads, the operators are focusing more and more on prevention. Innovative electronic conveyor belt monitoring systems make it possible to identify the exact state of the transport systems at any time. “With the Conti Inspect systems for servicing, and the Conti Protect systems for monitoring during operation, ContiTech provides the right solutions for these jobs,” says Andreas Bakenhus, head of Mining Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia in the ContiTech Conveyor Belt Group. All the systems meet high quality standards and therefore guarantee a high level of safety. Issue 02 | 2016

NEWS & REPORTS Damage to the conveyor belt surface is a typical defect. This often occurs in systems in which the impacting material subjects the surface to a particularly high load. To identify the number, the extent, and the position of such sites of damage, intensive servicing is necessary. Up to now, technicians have had to evaluate and document the state of the conveyor belts individually at a reduced operating speed. This process was very time-consuming and involved a large number of people. To help customers with servicing, ContiTech has developed the mobile inspection system Conti SurfaceInspect. Using ultramodern line laser technology, this system scans the entire conveyor belt surface. On the basis of the height profile that is identified, it creates a digital belt map on which all cover plate damage is recorded and can therefore be examined more closely. In an automatically generated report, ContiTech provides all relevant information about the damage. “These analyses result in a detailed picture of the condition of the conveyor belt surface. It offers an ideal basis for systematically recording surface damage, preparing cover plate repairs, and making predictions about the conveyor belt‘s service life,” declares application engineer Patrick Raffler.

actual thickness by means of a large number of measuring points. It even detects systematic wear. This means that the conveyor belt‘s service life can be estimated, and a belt change recommended if necessary. If damage occurs inside the carcass of the steel cord conveyor belt, it can be detected with Conti CordInspect. By means of magnetic induction procedures, it detects the smallest of damage to the steel cable tension members. All pieces of damage are detected, classified, and documented in a report with information about size, severity, and position.

On the basis of the data recorded, Conti SurfaceInspect creates a digital map on which all cover plate damage is visible. (Photo: ContiTech)

Conti Inspect: reliable forecasts increase service life The mobile inspection systems, to which the surface scanner belongs, allow conveyor belts to be serviced while still in operation, and help to detect at an early stage damage caused by the material conveyed or by wear. The systems provide the relevant data for more effective planning of servicing jobs on conveyor belt systems. The Conti Inspect systems thus contribute to reducing the downtime of conveyor systems. The offering is rounded off by two further Conti Inspect systems. By means of triangulation sensors, Conti WearInspect measures the cover plate thickness over the entire belt length. It records the position of the belt surface on the pulley and carrying side, and calculates the conveyor belt‘s

NEWS & REPORTS Conti Protect: providing protection from total failures Larger pieces of damage such as longitudinal slitting and splice faults on the conveyor belt can have serious consequences for system operation, and lead to total failures in a worst-case scenario. Conti Protect monitoring systems help to detect such damage at an early stage during operation, and automatically stop the system if necessary. Conti SpliceProtect monitors the length and stretch of the conveyor belt splices in systems that are exposed to heavy tensile forces due to long center distances or large height differences. The system uses magnetic strips vulcanized into the conveyor belt to make precise measurements during operation. As soon as a splice has reached a critical length, the danger of a splice failure becomes too great and the system stops the conveyor before the splice tears. Conti RipProtect provides protection against longitudinal slitting that causes long downtime and high costs. Thanks to conductor loops vulcanized into the conveyor belt, it detects the dangerous longitudinal slitting at an early stage. The metal loops carry a high-frequency signal between a transmitter and receiver. If a loop is damaged, the signal will break down on the receiver end. The system control then automatically stops the conveyor belt. Conti CordProtect allows customers to look inside the carcass of steel cord conveyor belts. The system magnetizes the tensile members and detects magnetic fields that arise at the ends of the cords or if defects occur. This means that even very minor cord damage in the intact belt area can be detected and monitored, as can the state of the splices.

By means of a special sensor application, the rip insert function can also monitor the rotation of tube conveyors. Conti TotalProtect makes a detailed examination of steel cord conveyor belts possible by means of x-ray technology. The system detects and monitors all types of defects, from the tiniest pieces of surface damage and all manner of effects caused by foreign bodies, right up to cord and splice damage.

NEWS & REPORTS ContiTech’s new development gets its flexibility from a special braid made of a plastic textile which is resistant to high temperatures and chemicals. This encloses the inner lining made of a rubber specially adapted for the application which is highly stretchable. The tight bending radii which are possible as a result are an ideal response to the trend towards downsizing in engines and the associated ever tighter installation spaces.

Rigorous lightweight construction mitigates environmental impact As a result of its rigorously lightweight design, this cost-optimized solution also offers a significant weight advantage over the PTFE pipes enclosed in a stainlesssteel braid used hitherto for these tasks. “The new hose therefore contributes to reducing fuel consumption and thus also CO2 emissions,” declares Klaus Brühne, who was responsible for the development of the hose. The hose withstands operating pressures of up to 15 bar and can also be manufactured as a molded hose or for sale by the meter. In addition, a kink-resistant version is possible. “Another advantage for the customer is that it is part of a modular package from which the user can select the right product for the particular application,” says Brühne. “This yields further cost benefits for him.”

Johansson, Global Product Manager for WellDrill at Atlas Copco’s Surface and Exploration Drilling division. The standard configuration is to drill up to a depth of 350 meters and WellDrill 3062 handles this without any problems. In fact, a test was carried out in Stockholm, Sweden, in which the rig was used to drill a hole to a depth of 550 meters with a diamond bit. No change was necessary, the same bit was used for the entire drill.

“Operational reliability is extremely important for our business. And I can honestly say that I don’t even remember the last time we had a failure. Furthermore, the equipment is easy to both handle and move between commissions. That’s important for our work environment,” comments Daniel Carlsson of the Swedish well drilling company Säffle Brunnsborrning. The remote control panel for the WellDrill 3062 displays all relevant drill parameters. The rig also offers hands-free uncoupling and a very quick trip time. Another benefit is that the rod key table is designed with double action which keeps the rods in a position where it is impossible to drop the drill string in the hole by mistake. “The optimized layout on the operator panel gives a good overview and info for efficient drilling, for example average drill meter, rotation RPM and feed pressure. This makes it easy to prolong bit life and insures that our customers get more production per shift,” says Lennart

The hard rock cutting display features a wholly new underground mining approach, longwall for hard rock mining. The recently announced Rock Straight System is a fully mechanized longwall system designed for continuous mining of flat and tabular deposits and reefs in hard rock mines. The key to the system is the cutting machine, which makes best use of unique Cat Activated Undercutting Technology specifically developed for the extraction of bedded hard rock deposits. Rock Straight also includes a specially designed chain conveyor and hydraulic roof supports. For coal and other soft rock miners, Caterpillar will display a new drive system for longwall face conveyors. The precision engineered system has a smaller footprint and enables slower motor speeds while delivering more torque. At the same time, the system modulates power application to reduce mechanical stresses on the chain conveyor. The result is less wear, greater uptime and higher productivity. The underground display also introduces the R1700K underground loader (LHD). The new model features multiple systems enhancements, a new cab with enhanced ergonomics, and emissions reduction technology that meets US EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage IV certification requirements. Complementing the R1700K are new ground engaging tools for LHDs and a simulator demonstrating Command for underground, the Cat system for remote and semi-autonomous operation of LHDs.

Moolarben Coal Operations Choose Cat® Longwall System for Australian Mine (Photos: Caterpillar)

Caterpillar will supply a complete longwall mining system to Moolarben Coal Operations Pty Ltd, which operates the Moolarben Coal Complex on behalf of a joint venture. The world-class complex covers 11,000 ha (110 km2) in the western coalfields of New South Wales, Australia. The site includes an underground thermal coal development project as well as an open cut mine that produces export-quality thermal coal. Joint venture partners are Moolarben Coal Mines Pty Ltd (81 percent), a consortium of Korean companies represented by Kores Australia Moolarben Coal Pty Ltd (9 percent), and and Sojitz Moolarben Resources Pty Ltd (10 percent). The joint venture’s majority partner, Yancoal Australia Ltd, has been operating Cat® longwall mining systems successfully at its Austar and Ashton mines in New South Wales and in the North Goonyella mine in central Queensland.

Issue 02 | 2016

The Cat longwall system will be supported by WesTrac, the Cat dealer in the region, and will include 148 Cat roof supports with operating height ranging from 1.9 to 3.8 m (6.2 to 12.5 ft) and with support capacity of 1,329 tonnes (1,465 tons). A Cat EL3000 Shearer with total installed power of 1875 kW will deliver production capacity in excess of 5000 tonnes (5,512 tons) per hour.

An Advanced Automation Control package will manage shearer operation. This package features Longwall Navigator, which integrates software in the gate ends and shield controllers, improving production efficiency and accuracy while minimizing wear life. The control system incorporates sophisticated algorithms that enable full 3D navigation, as well as advanced floor profile calculations and precision sensing technologies. This combination of technologies enables three features: Horizon Control, which guides the shearer over undulating seams; Extraction Control, which directs the machine to follow defined floor and roof profiles to optimize production; and Face Alignment, which keeps the face straight for consistent production with less wear of the conveyor system. The complete system will be tested by WesTrac in New South Wales in early 2017. It is expected to be fully operational at the Moolarben mine in fourth quarter 2017.

Metso NW RapidTM, the revolutionary crushing and screening plant concept gains ground among aggregates producers

Metso MW rapid portable crushing and screening plant in operation (Photos: Metso)

he revolutionary Metso NW Rapid is the world‘s first and only wheel-mounted crushing plant that fits into standard containers and can be set up for operation in less than 12 hours. In T addition to fast installation, the NW Rapid can increase production capacity by as much as 30% and offer higher uptime, better safety and ease of use. In the highly competitive aggregates market, Metso‘s customers are increasingly looking for more cost-efficient ways to improve their productivity and lower cost of operations. The NW Rapid crushing and screening system, introduced a year ago, has proven to provide flexibility at a whole new level. The concept helps aggregates producers to now profit more from even smaller contracts than before and to change site locations more often. NW Rapid‘s high production capacity was one of the decisive factors when M/s M G Contractors Pvt Ltd in India was looking for a new plant.

Issue 02 | 2016

„The new Metso NW Rapid plant is a perfect fit for our growing needs for more eco-friendly, mobile and economical solutions. When looking at the available products in the market, we realized that the NW Rapid is a breakthrough in terms of application and quality. It is also backed by Metso‘s good brand reputation and their service standards. With this purchase, we feel confident that our production efficiency will increase by as much as 30% compared to a traditional solution. The 12-hour set-up time is extraordinary,“ says Udit Mittal, Director, M/s M G Contractors Pvt Ltd.

NEWS & REPORTS Unique design features increase production and cost efficiency Setting up a conventional portable crushing and screening plant normally takes at least a week and often requires preparations with foundations and other site conditions. In addition, equipment transportation can be difficult and require special arrangements. The NW Rapid is the first and only compact wheel-mounted crushing plant on the market that fits compactly into standard 40-foot (12meter) containers, allowing it to be easily transported from one place to another by sea, rail or truck. Fast installation and dismantling is facilitated with hydraulically fineadjustable support legs, hopper walls and screen lifting. „Cost-efficiency achieved by easy set-up and flexibility serves our customers in the emerging markets particularly well, since it is important to be able to swiftly move production to where the construction projects are situated,“ says Julius Mäkelä, Product Manager, Portable Solutions, Metso.

Issue 02 | 2016

The NW Rapid Series includes equipment for multiple aggregate production needs, such as portable jaw crushing, cone crushing as well as horizontal and vertical shaft impactor plants. With these products, customers can set up multistage crushing and screening plants for high-quality end products as well as for ballast production. The NW Rapid crushing and screening plant can be fed by excavator, wheel loader or dump trucks. Ready-made layouts cover screen feed and cone feed applications, with and without surge hoppers and field conveyors. The increased capacity is mainly achieved by the powerful Nordberg® GP220(TM) cone crusher and the new four-deck dual-slope screen, enabling higher screening performance. The whole process can be precisely adjusted by a process control system. „The new Metso IC50C(TM) process control system forms a seamless combination between the primary crushing stage and the secondary crushing & screening stage of the plant. The whole process, including field conveyors, can be started and stopped with the push of a single button, making daily operations safe and easy,“ says Mäkelä. The NW Rapid complies with European safety standards, and it can be issued with a CE marking.

Roads Beware – Kennametal Announces New Road King™ Road Milling Line

Better tools, better job. Nowhere is this more evident, and more necessary, than in crushing asphalt aggregate, concrete, or both, and laying down new road beds. Tools that wear out before their time mean idle road milling machines, missed project schedules, and blown budgets. The new Road King series of redesigned road milling tools from Kennametal is that better tool that means better performance.

Stronger tools. Improved performance. Better choice LATROBE, PA – Better tools, better job. Nowhere is this more evident, and more necessary, than in crushing asphalt aggregate, concrete, or both, and laying down new road beds. Tools that wear out before their time mean idle road milling machines, missed project schedules, and blown budgets. The new Road King series of redesigned road milling tools from Kennametal is that better tool that means better performance. “Many factors lead to increased wear on tooling systems,” says Thomas Chudowski, Senior Global Product Manager – Road Rehabilitation at Kennametal. Jobsite conditions (road material, temperature) force choices in cutting depth, machine advance speed, cooling system,

holder system, and machine power -- some of which the operator can influence in a positive or negative way. “He can choose the type of tool, adjust machine speed and cutting depth, and of course, affect the degree of maintenance of his machine, including the cutting unit.” Job type has conventionally required a tool choice as well. A tool too small for the application or the machine doesn’t last long, resulting in more downtime to change tools. A tool too big for a low-horsepower machine slows it down. The lifetime of the tool might be extended, but machine efficiency is unacceptable, particularly when paving immediately follows milling. Contractors doing reclamation projects usually need a heavier tool body, where in road milling, a slimmer body improves machine performance. The new Road King series

NEWS & REPORTS from Kennametal is a single tool system addressing both reclamation and milling road projects to the benefit of the contractor.

Road King feature improvements include: • A body design that accentuates easy penetration with less stress on the washer, retainer, and holding system. • A series of optimized tip designs (flat bottom as well as valve seat) for varying job conditions, along with a single body design that accommodates all of them, greatly simplifying inventory. • Increased body hardness on all tools to maximize wear resistance. • A fluted body design that supports better tool rotation behavior, improving tip wear. • The head design also leads cut material away from the tool, reducing the buildup of fines between retainer and shank. • An increased collar diameter maximizing holder protection.

Issue 02 | 2016

Added Expertise in Drum Designs and Holder Systems In addition, Kennametal provides unparalleled support with decades of experience designing and manufacturing complete cutter drum systems, covering not only roadmilling drums, but also a complete line of conical tools, sleeves, and blocks in a range of configurations including weld-on blocks and patented quick-change systems requiring no welding and, in certain applications, no bolts. Along with the latest tools, Kennametal emphasizes the importance of providing customized drum design services, which can be key to giving users the productivity they expect. With a wealth of proprietary drum-lacing programs, Kennametal engineers can tailor drums design to specific customer parameters, with such user-selectable design elements as cutting pattern, diameter, width, advance rate, and rpm. They then determine the total number of tools required, total cutting width, wrap angle per side, radial spacing, vane angle, and estimated kicker clearance. Drum configurations for a number of pavement conditions and road machine OEM specifications are also available.
