Sandvik hollow bar brings ‘100 years of maintenance-free service’ to Norway’s revolutionary high speed railway

Construction on the Holmestrand station could only commence after the Sanmac® 2205 duplex stainless steel hangers – from which the rest of the structure is hung – were mounted. (Photo: Sandvik)

anmac® 2205 duplex stainless steel hollow bar was used for construction of the Holmestrand station, part of a new high-speed rail system that will transform Norway’s transport infrastructure. Sandvik’s input contributed towards the project’s on time completion.

Sanmac® 2205 long lifetime, low weight and ‘maintenance free’ duplex (austenitic-ferritic) stainless steel was chosen for critical ‘hanger’ components based on an entirely new hollow bar design. The hangers will support a section of the 12 km long high speed rail tunnel which includes the station. Inside the tunnel are two parallel tracks that will, in the future, enable two high-speed trains to pass each other at maximum speeds of 250 km per hour – something which has never been performed before.

Issue 04 | 2016

The choice of duplex was specified by Ramboll, the engineering company for the project, after it was determined that the construction must remain maintenance free for 100 years. It is estimated that more than four million movements will occur in the tunnel during that time. The railway is also the first of its kind to be situated inside a mountain, which places extra demands on the steel.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY

“Sandvik Sanmac® 2205 duplex stainless steel is a perfect grade where a material with high corrosion and fatigue resistance, and high mechanical strength, is required that could also provide excellent machinability. Duplex stainless steel is unbeatable if you need these properties,” said Viktor Stefansson, Global Product Manager for Hollow Bar at Sandvik. Construction on the Holmestrand station could only commence after the hangers – from which the rest of the structure is hung – were mounted. Sandvik helped control the logistic planning for the tunnel to a very tight schedule. “When Sandvik came into the picture, they showed craftsmanship and were trustworthy, being the right partner,” said Jan Beckers, Managing Director of Hollandia, the company responsible for fabrication and erection of the steel. Construction company HENT has managed the overall station building project. Support from Sandvik that was integral to the project included recommending improved dimensions for the Sanmac® 2205 hanger components. This guaranteed

optimal use of the material and saved Hollandia more than 100 tonnes of material. Sandvik was able to supply the components cut to length and on time according to a tight schedule. The project could not have been completed on time without Sandvik’s support, said Dyon Hermsen, Dutch Area Sales Area Manager, Sandvik, who alongside the Production Unit worked closely with the customer: “Hollandia chose Sandvik because they felt we could help achieve the tight delivery times specified for their performance, as a trusted partner. “We had seven weeks from order to delivery. As the construction was one of the first activities before continuing with the station, Sandvik’s hollow bar had the highest prioritization. There was no room for mistakes so we had the whole chain – R&D, planning and production – with us.”

SEW-EURODRIVE wins

Industry 4.0 Award 2016 in „Lean & Industry 4.0“ category

SEW-EURODRIVE GmbH & Co KG Bruchsal | Germany

At the 4th Industry 4.0 Convention on November 30, 2016 in Ulm, SEW-EURODRIVE won the „Lean & Industry 4.0“ category of the Industry 4.0 Award 2016. (Photo: SEW-EURODRIVE)

t the 4th Industry 4.0 Convention on November 30, 2016 in Ulm, SEW-EURODRIVE won the „Lean & Industry 4.0“ category of the Industry 4.0 Award 2016.

„Lean & Industry 4.0“ Presented by trade journal Produktion und ROI Management Consulting, this award recognizes SEWEURODRIVE’s holistic approach and future-focused lean smart factory activities. The basic idea of using IT to network production is not a new one. The concept of Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) dates back to the 1980s. The CIM philosophy involved full automation – everything from planning to production was to be controlled using computers. The human factor was forgotten to some degree. This is not the case in the fractal factory, which comprises several production cells in small „factories within the factory“ that are called small factory units. Industry 4.0 is the continuation of this fractal approach. Production set up using lean principles is complemented by intelligent automation. This enables the perfect collaboration of man and machine. Taking into account the „one piece flow“ and „small factory unit“ value creation principles, SEW-EURODRIVE has started implementing the vision of Industry 4.0 at its own factory in Graben-Neudorf and developing concepts for logistics, assembly and manufacturing tasks.

Issue 04 | 2016

In Graben-Neudorf’s gear unit assembly section, the family-owned business has already implemented a concept using mobile logistics and assembly assistants as a showcase factory. Autonomous, intelligent, selforganizing logistics assistants take over the just-in-time delivery of material for the workstations. Workers and assembly assistants already share the U-shaped gear unit assembly cells. The assembly workers receive information from these mobile, intelligent workbenches that also provide ergonomic support. The machining production section of SEW-EURODRIVE now uses an intelligently linked production system with closed quality control loops. Complete processing enables short order throughput times, which ensures high productivity while also maintaining a high level of flexibility. Mobile handling assistants are used for assembly and workpiece removal to lighten the workload of employees. In the worm manufacturing section, a specially developed mobile handling assistant with a magnetic grab takes care of bin picking – taking the unsorted unmachined parts out of the line bin and placing them on the feed conveyor. After machining, the handling assistant lifts the finished pieces from the delivery conveyor and places them in a comb frame for the hardening process.

www.advanced-mining.com

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY In addition to quantifiable effects such as increased cost-efficiency, improved quality and far shorter throughput times, the concept’s success is above all demonstrated by its flexibility in responding to fluctuations in incoming orders. Taking the approach of „action, not just words“, SEWEURODRIVE has used the development of its showcase factory in Graben-Neudorf to set standards and is now making a name for itself as one of the pioneering companies in Industry 4.0. Further specific solutions are now being implemented at the company’s own factories around the world. Given the huge interest and demand on the market, SEW-EURODRIVE is already planning and implementing Industry 4.0 applications and factories for intralogistics, automotive and other customers. „This award confirms we’re on the right track and we’ll systematically be continuing this approach,“ says Managing Director Technology Johann Soder, who accepted the award on behalf of the international familyowned business based in Bruchsal, Germany, at the 4th Industry 4.0 Convention in Ulm.

SEW-EURODRIVE When the name SEW-EURODRIVE is mentioned, one of the first things people are quick to mention is „electric motors“. That is right, as electric motors formed the beginnings of our company. In the meantime, however, the SEW-EURODRIVE name stands for much more, and our range of products and services has grown significantly. Gearmotors, gear units, motors, components for decentralized installation, electronically controlled drives, mechanical variable-speed gearmotors, as well as drive solutions that involve a lot of engineering. Of course, we shouldn‘t forget supplementary services and service offerings.

RENAULT TRUCKS:

RENAULT TRUCKS SAS | France

CELEBRATES THE 100th ANNIVERSARY OF ITS LYON SITE PAYING TRIBUTE TO MARIUS BERLIET D

uring 2016 Renault Trucks has been actively engaged in paying tribute to Marius Berliet and celebrating the history of the men and women who helped spread the French truck‘s reputation from their bases in Vénissieux and SaintPriest on the outskirts of Lyon. The Lyon site, the cradle of the Renault Trucks brand, continues to design and build tomorrow‘s transport solutions.. In 1915, Marius Berliet made the decision to buy up a large number of plots of land in the east of Lyon and build a production plant in Vénissieux. After outgrowing the Monplaisir site in Lyon‘s 8th arrondissement, he needed room to undertake his ambitious projects, meet the urgent demand for trucks and contribute to the war effort by producing weapons for the French Army in the grip of the First World War. Marius was up against a huge challenge: in record time, he had to design, build and outfit his plant even as production began. After successfully meeting this challenge, successive extensions took the site‘s total area to 387 hectares on the eve of the Second World War. But Marius Berliet had set his sights on greater things than simply building a plant: „The only motivation behind all my hard work is the burning desire to finally realise my life‘s dream: to create a vast, thriving industrial city“. This vision gave birth to the Cité Berliet in 1917, which was built to cater for the plant‘s operations. This self-contained town contained housing, a school, a crèche and a farm.

Today the Lyon site houses the nerve centre of Renault Trucks and is a key component of the industrial and global engineering facilities of the Volvo Group, which the Renault Trucks brand joined in 2001. It hosts over 4,000 people work on a 180 hectare site straddling the municipalities of Vénissieux and Saint-Priest. The site is home to an engine assembly plant, a bridge and axle assembly plant, a swaging centre and a parts logistics centre.

In addition to Renault Trucks‘ headquarters and global management team, the Lyon site accommodates numerous tertiary activities, including a research facility with a staff of 1,300. It is mainly devoted to developing medium-duty trucks and their engines, as well as transport solutions for urban areas. A design studio boasts a team of international designer to whom we owe the design of Renault Trucks‘ new range of trucks launched in 2013 and whose flagship vehicle - the Renault Trucks T - was voted ‘International Truck of the Year 2015’.

Graffiti signed IMPACKT Renault Trucks has lent its walls to Lyon-based graffiti artist, Franck Asensi - known as ‘Impackt’ - to produce a giant 450m2 ‘graff’ tracing the 100 year history over its 80 metre length. It took the artist three months to produce the piece.

The high point of the celebrations was an anniversary ceremony on November 10th 2016, which was attended by all Lyon employees, together with Martin Lundstedt (CEO of the Volvo Group) and Bruno Blin (CEO of Renault Trucks).

Renault Trucks has been operating in Africa for a number of years and its robust vehicles are particularly well suited to the difficult terrains and climates. After the success of the first mechanics-training project under the partnership in 2012 and growing demand from WFP for additional training, Renault Trucks extended its commitment to 2017. This means that fleet and workshop management trainings are now being provided to 120 WFP employees on the ground.

Issue 04 | 2016

“We’re talking specifically about Renault Trucks staff who work on site, as volunteers, to provide training to mechanics, fleet managers and workshop managers,” adds Bruno Blin, President of Renault Trucks. Through this partnership and by transferring its technical expertise, Renault Trucks is helping to ensure the mobility of the WFP trucks and its ability to complete its mission: to fight hunger every day and deliver food assistance to those who need it, often in the most remote locations.

KEESTRACK promotes alternative plant drives:

Keestrack N.V. | Belgium

“Electrifying results”

o reduce operational costs and optimize the sustainability of processing plants KEESTRACK intensively works on alternative drive concepts for all models across its range. Diesel-electric technologies with “hybrid” or “full-hybrid” operation are playing a key role. At their official debut in late October the new cone and jaw crusher concepts H4e and B4e formed part of a remarkably fuel-saving “plug-in”-production line.

“Zero-Emission” processing Since several years KEESTRACK is intensively working on the implementation of alternative electric drives in its mobile processing plants. As a result, most of the KEESTRACK crushers, screeners and stackers are today available as conventional diesel-hydraulic units, but also as “e-“versions with on-board diesel engines and flanged generators to supply electric motors on screens, conveyors, compressors and other components. With plug-in-option, those “hybrid” plants can be externally supplied via mains, another machine in the processing line (eg. crusher) or via separate gen set. The obvious reason for replacing numerous hydro drives on conventional mobile plants, and reducing with that to a large extent hydraulic power needs, oil volumes and pipework on machines is direct cost-cutting. And indeed, KEESTRACK is reporting for the e-versions up to 30 % lower fuel consumption compared to the same

Issue 04 | 2016

models with modern load-sensing hydraulic systems. This might not seem too dramatic at the end of a shift, but livetime-cost analyses clearly show, that minor additional investments for the e-versions pay off quite shortly, even in recent times of moderate fuel pricing. This turns even better, focussing on some other important advantages of the hybrids as enhanced environmental compatibility, better availability and ease of operation and maintenance even under difficult conditions. Smaller hydraulic networks minimize the risk of leakage, which is particularly important for operations in protected areas. It also avoids production downtime. Lower oil volumes prevent temperature problems, fewer filters and coolers reduce daily or regular maintenance. And even the service life of on-board diesels can be extended significantly, when the engines run under lower and more regular loads or only have to be started to move the tracks or manipulate conveyors on KEESTRACK’s “plug-in” screeners or stackers.

Full-hybrid crushing Consequently the exhaust-free operation of the crushing units was the next challenge for the KEESTRACK engineers. Quite common on smaller machines or for very large quarry crushers the all-electric or “full-hybrid” drive concept had to be adapted to the requirements of highly productive mobile units in the 30- to 60-tonnes segment. “We didn’t want to compromise neither the high production rates, nor the extreme versatility and mobility of our crushers,” KEESTRACK owner Kees Hoogendoorn shortly explains the engineers’ task. “Our e-versions give to the customer the choice and freedom, to start the engine and work conventionally wherever and whatever the job is.

But if there’s mains available or an external gen set makes sense, why not bringing down diesel rev to zero, reducing fuel costs instantaneously and boost live-time profitability of your machinery investments?” To meet the scope of the project which is mainly defined by high power demands of the crushing units, the weightsensitive integration of respectively strong additional electric motors and – above all – the indispensable availability of the “key machine” crusher, the KEESTRACK engineers started on a clean sheet, instead of changing well proven machine concepts.

First result was the tracked cone crusher KEESTRACK H4, developed in close co-operation with a renowned cone specialist. The 35-tonne machine with an innovative compact frame design features an electrically driven cone crusher (132 kW, max. 200 tph). Optional 1-deck prescreen and 3-deck after-screen modules convert it into a highly efficient but very compact secondary or third stage production plant (max. weight: 46 tonnes). The hybrid version debuted at Bauma 2016, now KEESTRACK presented the full-hybrid H4e. According to emission regulations both machines feature 328/346 kW on-board diesels powering the 330 kVA on-board generator for the crusher drive and ancillary components (side conveyors, magnet, etc.). For full electric operation from mains or external gen set the new H4e is equipped with an additional electric motor/ hydro pump unit to supply the hydraulic driven feeder, the large after-screen module, the tracks and all hydraulic cylinders.

The brand-new tracked mobile jaw crusher KEESTRACK B4/B4e operates on a similar principle. Completely redesigned it follows the successful Apollo/B4, which for years set industry standards with high production rates in flexible recycling applications or medium-sized quarry operations. Accordingly, the new frame structure incorporating elements of high-strength Domex steel qualities guarantees low transport weights (approx.. 42 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 49 tonnes) and good static properties on site. Optionally the B4/B4e can be now equipped with a 1-deck afterscreen module with oversize and recycling conveyors.

Issue 04 | 2016

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY The plants feature an active 2-deck prescreen and the re-designed KEESTRACK 1100 x 700 mm jaw crusher with hydraulic gap adjustment during operation and the patented overload-protection “Non-Stop-System” (N.S.S.), which automatically detects non-crushable material. To let pass the obstruction, the intelligent N.S.S. opens the swing jaw only to the necessary extent and immediately resets to the initial C.S.S. (45 – 160 mm). This reliably prevents break-downs and ensures constant quality of the end product. Different strokes (hard stone: 29 mm, recycling: 32) allow the adaptation of the eccentric throw to specific applications and maximise the production of the hydraulic driven 18-tonne crusher unit (recommended feed size 600 mm). The diesel-hydraulic B4 is driven by an on-board diesel (210/242 kW acc. to emission regulations) and a modern load sensing hydraulic system. Diesel power on the all new B4e is converted by an 225 kVA on-board generator to supply the separate electric motor for the crusher (110 kW), all other electric components and drives and a second electric motor (55 kW) with flanged hydraulic pump for the installed hydro drives (feeder, pre-screen, after screen modules), hydraulic cylinders and tracks. This now allows a full plug-in operation of the whole plant without starting the diesel engine. Once connected to an external power source the whole energy management is controlled automatically including the supply of a secondary unit (screen, stacker).

“These results are impressing,” states Kees Hoogendoorn. “Even if they are just valid for this specific case, we’re convinced that our full hybrid concepts are more than interesting for our customers. Compared to conventional diesel-hydraulic or hybrid diesel-electric machines, fuel cost savings of 30, 50 or even 70 percent are definitely possible, depending on the external energy supply.”

Impressive premiere Both new machines debuted on the impressive autumn customer show of KEESTRACK’s Norwegian/Swedish dealer Fredheim Maskin in late October this year. With over 40 machines on static display and active demonstration the traditional show attracted once again many visitors from Scandinavia and other European regions. Certainly one of the highlights was the full-electrical granite processing line with KEESTRACK’s B4e as primary and H4e as secondary crusher with 3-deck after-screen producing the first two end fractions. Completing the line were a KEESTRACK stacker S5e for stockpiling pre-screened material 0/20 and the 2-deck tracked screen KEESTRACK K3e for the finer end products. The complete electrical power was supplied by a single external 500 kVA gen set. Following a production layout for two different sets of five end products (0/2 … 16/22; 0/4 … 16/22) tests were run with feed size 0/600 at 180 tph (estimated granite work index: 16). The results of consumption analysis even surprised KEESTRACK’s own experts: the whole “plug-in”line consumed around 55 litres per hour.

The future on stand In Shanghai KEESTRACK displays the diesel-electrically powered track mobile impact crusher R6e as an alternative to the traditional diesel-hydraulic model R6. Representing the flagships of the company’s impactor programme, both plants with a fully equipped 60 tonnes transport weight impressively underline the company’s approach to deliver highly productive performance in a distinctively compact form. The “hybrid” drive concept of the R6e includes an 496 kW on-board diesel engine with direct drive for the crusher, an efficient load sensing hydraulic drive for feeders, cooling fans, tracks and cylinders and an 150-kVagenerator for the installed electrical drives on screens, conveyors or other components (magnets, compressors, etc.). The diesel-electric system guarantees the efficient drive of the impact crusher with its exceptionally large rotor (Ø 1267 mm, 6100 kg) for smooth and highly productive operation up to 450 tph (inlet opening: 970 x 1300 mm). The replacement of installed hydraulic screens and conveyor drives with easily to be connected E-motors offers advantages in energy consumption and prevents the risk of harmful oil leakages.

Issue 04 | 2016

According to KEESTRACK the diesel-electric drive offers fuel savings up to 25 % in typical operations. This might be even enhanced if ancillary equipment (screens, stackers, etc.) is run through the external power supply of the R6e (125 A / approx. 75 kW). KEESTRACK introduced these economical diesel-electric “e-“versions with plug-in option in 2012, nowadays most of its scalpers, screeners but also the jaw, cone and impact crushers and the complete stacker range are available both with traditional diesel-hydraulic or with diesel-electric drive. On BAUMA China the tracked 3-deck classifier C6e represents that modern range. Equipped as standard with an 8,1-m³ hopper, an effective 4500 x 1800 mm triple deck screen (inclination:9° – 24°) and conveyors with large stockpiling capacities, the 33-tonne-machine produces up to 400 tph. According to emission standards the C6e is equipped with on-board diesels from 74 – 90 kW. Track drive and hydraulic cylinders are powered through an enginedriven pump, all other drives and components – screens, conveyors, compressors, etc. – are connected to the 63 kVA on-board generator, or supplied by external sources as the crusher or mains. The extensive replacement of

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY hydraulic drives is clearly reflected through the far smaller hydraulic tank on the “e”-version (240 ltrs. vs. 400 ltrs.). Average fuel consumption in diesel-electric operation is expected to be 20 percent lower than the corresponding diesel-hydraulic values. From the tracked stacker range KEESTRACK is displaying in the diesel-hydraulic 12-tonnes model S5. With feed capacities from 300 – 500 tph its 23 metre conveyor (width 1000 mm) offers stockpile capacities up to 15.000 tons (22° angle, 180° swivelling). Like the other KEESTRACK stacker models the optionally fully remote controlled S5 is also available in a diesel-electric “plug-in” version with external power supply from mains, crusher/screen or external gen set.

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. Dr 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. Employees positioned around the world are therefore in close contact with the 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.

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

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY 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 meters per second by an accelerator belt with a speed of 2.6 meters per second. Three more conveyors finally transport the material to the blending bed.

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

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. The CL team discussed the various technical options intensively 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have appropriate software for this, with which we can match satellite and aerial photographs with topographical dataâ&#x20AC;?. One conveyor section that drops steeply in some places with numerous obstacles in the terrain and seven road crossings was particularly challenging.

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 one meter wide, with a distance between centres of 3,200 metres, and drops 70 metres. The conveying speed is 4.5 meters per second. The low operating costs

are a special feature. Due to the downhill section the operation of the fully loaded conveyor is virtually energyneutral. 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;This, together with the low maintenance and repair costs, contributes substantially towards cost-effective operationâ&#x20AC;?. 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. It should reach a daily clinker production of 10,000 tonnes. Sinoma commissioned BEUMER with the design

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY 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. The team worked various routes out and compared them. “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.

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 low noise 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 one year.

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. BEUMER Group

Controlled loading ensured The system is designed for a maximum continuous conveying capacity of 3,000 tonnes per hour. 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 cost-effective 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 meters per second 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 non-ferrous 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 millimeters 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.

BEUMER offers extended conveying, loading and filling systems for cement plants: Solutions that you can build on

s a system supplier, BEUMER Group develops solutions perfectly adapted to meet cement plant requirements. This includes conveying, loading and filling systems that are offered in different versions for various tasks, which are continuously optimised by our engineers in Beckum, Germany. Our goal is to make our customers‘ operations more efficient. Users have to face for example less maintenance, an increase in bucket elevator capacity and achieve more precise filling results. We provide innovative solutions to international cement companies who are looking for sustainable and cost-efficient ways to modernise their plants.

The conveying system has to meet high requirements to ensure safe and economic clinker transport in cement plants. The cement clinker leaves the clinker cooler of the kiln line at temperatures of up to 200 degrees Celsius, or up to 600 degrees Celsius if the coating collapses, and is temporarily stored 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 robust and can navigate through complicated routings and considerable conveying heights. „We generally use the heavy-duty BEUMER double sprocket chains as traction elements,“ explains Michael Brachthäuser, Director Business Unit Cement at BEUMER Group. This makes it possible to handle inclinations of up to 60 degrees at a speed of 0.3 metres per second. „In order to increase

performance we developed a version with the cells mounted to a belt instead of a chain,“ explains Michael Brachthäuser.

More compact and more powerful The basis for this variant is our proven BEUMER belt technology, which is also used in bucket elevators. The belt is reinforced with steel wires and can be designed in different widths. In the material feed area, special deflector plates protect the belt against hot coating that collapses when the kiln is not in continuous use. „With up to 1,300 cubic metres of clinker per hour, belt apron conveyors achieve a higher conveying capacity than conventional

apron conveyors,“ describes Michael Brachthäuser. This can be attributed to a higher running speed of up to 0.6 meter per second. Angles of inclination of up to 60 degrees are also possible. Wear and tear that occurs frequently on a chain can be practically eliminated when using a belt and lubricating the system is not necessary. The lighter and more compact design of this solution reduces the costs for the steel structure and the entire project. The entire belt lies with its surface on the drive and return pulley, thus, the unwanted polygon effect caused by the central chain is avoided. This ensures quiet running and low noise emission, and prevents additional exposure of the plant and adjacent buildings to load vibrations and noise. 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. „A concrete example: An apron conveyor with a chain of 1,600 millimetres width and 131 meter centre distance weighs 128 tons,“ explains Michael Brachthäuser. 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, as the steel structure is approximately 30 tons lighter and weighs only 50 tons. A smaller drive unit can be used due to the reduced size, which further lowers the operational 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. 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 faster wear and tear on the chains as opposed to 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. „That‘s why we have developed the innovative high-capacity belt bucket elevators type HD,“ says Michael Brachthäuser. They are designed to eliminate the space between the individual buckets and the belt. This prevents coarse material from getting stuck during the scooping and filling process, which is often the case. This increases the service life of the belt considerably. The buckets are mounted firmly to the back of the belt with segments and bolts especially developed by BEUMER Group. As with all belt bucket elevators by BEUMER Group, BEUMER belts with wire-free zones are also used on the high-capacity belt bucket elevators. Holes for the bucket mountings can be placed here without damaging or cutting the steel wires. The traction forces of the belt are maintained to the fullest

www.advanced-mining.com

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY extent. The current belt 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 Group offers special buckets or mounts a dynamic bottom into the bucket elevator boot. This prevents wet and sticky material in the bucket elevator boot. Belt bucket elevators with this equipment have a much longer service life when handling highly abrasive material than central chain bucket elevators.

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 machine always achieves accurate degrees of filling. The entire 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.

These bucket elevators are already successfully used by many international cement manufacturers including Dyckerhoff, Yamama Cement, HeidelbergCement, LafargeHolcim. BEUMER Group converted their existing bucket elevators into high-capacity belt bucket elevators type HD in a simple and cost-efficient way. This became necessary because the kiln systems had been modified, increasing their capacity. This meant that the bucket elevators to the raw mills had to increase their capacity as well.

BEUMER Group offers this construction series both as 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 Group 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. In order to fill HDPE bags reliably BEUMER Group offers the BEUMER bag placer as an exclusive feature. The filling impeller is characterised by its speed and 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.

„One of our German customers had the problem that coarse-grained material was falling between the bucket and the belt, damaging the belt,“ describes Michael Brachthäuser. Along with the modernisation of the plant, throughput as well as the running time of the bucket elevator per day increased, adding to this challenge. The belt started to get porous already after two years of use. Initially, it was planned to replace the old belt bucket elevator with a chain bucket elevator. But then the operator of the plant opted for the BEUMER Group HD technology. 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 for circulating bucket elevators in raw mills and cement mills for 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 Group offers the BEUMER fillpac. It uses rotating filling spouts to fill any type of cement into different bag types. It can be individually integrated into already existing packaging lines and adapted to specific parameters.

Onto the truck bed With the BEUMER autopac, BEUMER Group offers a system that loads cement bags directly from the filling machine onto the truck bed without manual intervention. Bags can be palletised automatically in stacked rows or patterns – 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 stacked 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

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY 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. In contrast with loading and palletising systems from other manufacturers, the BEUMER autopac is equipped exclusively with electrical drive units in its standard design. This means significantly less maintenance costs for the 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.

Bologna Airport:

Wirtgen Group technologies play a key role

One of the invaluable features of the Wirtgen W 200 is Wirtgen‘s proprietary PTS („Parallel To Surface“) system, which automatically aligns the machine parallel to the road surface in a dynamic process: The front and rear crawler units are lowered evenly and parallel to one another. In addition, the 4-fold full-floating axle, which forms part of the PTS system, quickly balances out any unevenness on the left or right side. (Photo: Wirtgen)

sing cold recycling technology, seven machines from Wirtgen, Vögele and Hamm rehabilitate the damaged taxiway at Guglielmo Marconi Airport in Bologna/Italy in a minimum of time and with maximum precision. Opened in 1931, the airport handled over 6.5 million passengers in 2014 and today ranks among the seven busiest airports in Italy. The current rehabilitation work is part of an extensive maintenance program that is designed to further improve the complete infrastructure. The focus was initially on the taxiway section between junctions TN (Tango November) and TM (Tango Mike) – including rehabilitation of the drainage system and stabilizing and widening of the shoulders: the inner one (on the apron side) from its current 3.50 m to 9 m, and the outer one (on the runway side) to 7.5 m. The airport authority also called for the stabilization and asphalt resurfacing of a further 70 m of taxiway in the direction of junction TP (Tango Papa).

Following this, the service lane to the south of Apron 2 was also to be rehabilitated and – in a second phase – four aircraft parking bays were to be resurfaced.

Located some 200 km southeast of Milan, Guglielmo Marconi Airport is undergoing extensive rehabilitation work. The paving courses were milled off by the Wirtgen W 200. Easy to handle, the lightweight large milling machine is among the all-rounders in road rehabilitation and boasts an impressive performance and cost-efficiency. (Photo: Wirtgen)

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY Ultra-modern, user-friendly technology is the basis for the innovative, environmentally friendly and economical asphalt pavers of the new „Dash 3“ generation from Vögele. That also applies to the SUPER 1803-3 wheeled paver used in Bologna. (Photo: Wirtgen)

Wirtgen W 200 powerfully mills complete pavement structures When selecting the machinery, the company commissioned with the construction work, Bindi S.p.A., once again put its trust in the mature technologies of the Wirtgen Group. As usual, the project kicked off with a Wirtgen cold milling machine – in this case the W 200. Among other things, it is perfectly suited to the largearea, selective milling of surface courses at high daily performance rates. On the badly worn taxiway with a length of 340 m and a width of 23 m, the large milling machine also proved equal to the task of milling out the entire surfacing to a total depth of 70 cm in three passes. Unmistakable signs of a reduced load-bearing capacity of the underlying base courses had prompted the responsible managers to take this decision. To remove the pavement highly effectively yet economically, the machine operator brought one of the numerous, invaluable features of the W 200 into play: the three, selectable milling drum speeds. They can be

conveniently set from the operator‘s platform and ensure the ideal milling output for the prevailing requirements. In this case, the lowest milling drum speed was called for. Working at this speed, the W 200 with its 558 HP achieves the maximum milling output with reduced fuel consumption per cubic meter of milled material. This setting also minimizes cutter wear.

Wirtgen cold recycling technology with the WR 2400 and KMA 220 But before the taxiway could slip into its new asphalt garb, it was first essential to stabilize the base course, whose load-bearing capacity was no longer sufficient. That was just the job for Wirtgen recyclers and soil stabilizers, which increase the strength of the soil by adding binders, or re-use the milled material to rehabilitate roads in a resource-conserving, eco-friendly process. Indeed, they can even do both of these jobs at once – as the Wirtgen cold recycler and soil stabilizer WR 2400 did in this instance. Since roughly half of the base course consisted of clayey soil, the other 50% being a mixture of sand and gravel, the recycler and soil stabilizer first mixed it with lime and then, in a second step, with cement. Once the soil had been stabilized in this way, durably restoring its load-bearing capacity, 50 cm of recycled material with a cement content of 6%

„The precision of the Vögele SUPER 1803-3 is impressive, even on tightly scheduled jobs, like paving asphalt at airports. It‘s a great help that the commands are simple, and that you can easily manage and check the numerous parameters involved. That allows me to guarantee the pavement quality,“ says Enrico Unida, Machine Operator at Bindi. (Photo: Wirtgen)

were then laid. To produce the new base course, Bindi chose a combination of in-situ and in-plant processes, this being the most efficient method under the prevailing local conditions. Once 25 cm of the material originally milled out had been replaced in the milled cut by an excavator, it was time for the Wirtgen recycler and soil stabilizer to get back to work. This time, the powerful milling and mixing rotor of the WR 2400 mixed the material into a homogeneous mass, adding water and cement. At the same time and just a few meters beyond the airport grounds, the Wirtgen mobile cold recycling mixing plant KMA 220 saw to the mixing of the second pavement layer, which likewise had a thickness of 25 cm. This plant can be used to produce cold mix from a wide variety of new aggregate mixtures, reclaimed recycling materials and binding agents. With its maximum mixing capacity of 220 t/h, the KMA 220 sees to it that a full truckload of 20 t cold recycled mix can be produced and immediately placed again every six minutes. A 20-t Hamm 3520 compactor with 3-point swivel joint and vibratory smooth roller drum was used in Bologna for professional compaction of the final, 50-cm recycled layer.

Top-quality asphalt paving thanks to the Vögele SUPER 1803-3 Finally, the moment had arrived for the SUPER 1803-3 paver from Vögele to fit out the taxiway in its new asphalt attire. Step by step, it paved a 10-cm base course, a 6-cm binder course and a 4-cm surface course. The surface course was paved in stone mastic asphalt to maximize the service life and give aircraft a good grip on the new taxiway, even in bad weather. This material is not only more durable, but also allows optimum drainage of surface water owing to its open grain structure.

Issue 04 | 2016

Niveltronic Plus®, Vögele‘s proprietary automatic grade and slope control system installed on the SUPER 1803-3, came into play once again, ensuring that the paving work was true to line and level. In terms of ease of operation, quality and reliability, it is the perfect solution for all grade and slope control tasks. Optimally coordinated with the machine technology, Niveltronic Plus® delivers highquality paving results based on pre-defined reference values. The Big MultiPlex Ski also employed by Bindi further enhanced the quality of the pavement. Equipped with a row of three sonic sensors, the Big MultiPlex Ski simultaneously scans a reference at several separate points. These measurements can then be used to derive a virtual reference level with the help of the Vögele Niveltronic Plus® system. This is a decisive advantage, particularly on areas like the 23 m-wide taxiway, since lengthy surface irregularities, such as bumps, can easily be detected and evened out in this way.

Hamm‘s DV 90 and GRW 18 add the finishing touch Finishing was the job of asphalt rollers from Hamm. Here, too, building contractor Bindi was able to rely on the leading technologies of the Wirtgen Group. The DV 90 pivot-steered tandem roller with the time-proven Hammtronic electronic machine management system set the ball rolling, achieving an impressive area output and compaction performance. Immediately after, as a classic part of the workflow, a rubber-wheeled roller added the final touch. Rubber-wheeled rollers like the GRW 18 from Hamm play an important role in final compaction since the kneading effect of the rubber wheels makes for perfect sealing of the surface – as at Guglielmo Marconi Airport, whose taxiway is now optimally equipped for the high dynamic stresses imposed by the aircraft rolling over it.

Stringent project requirements met Elena Sturlini, Technical Manager at Bindi S.p.A, is certainly pleased with the result, having carried out the rehabilitation work without disrupting normal airport operation. That requirement posed an additional challenge, on top of the already stringent requirements of the project. Sturlini says: „In addition to punctual completion, we primarily had to ensure the quality and durability of the construction work, despite all the logistical challenges involved in the project.“ Being able to rely on the support of a strong partner was all the more important in this situation. „There‘s no doubt that, thanks to the reliable operation of the Wirtgen Group technologies, we were optimally equipped to meet the performance parameters stipulated by the airport authority while achieving maximum productivity,“ says the Technical Manager..

Technologies from KLEEMANN and BENNINGHOVEN optimize recycling process:

KLEEMANN GmbH Göppingen | Germany

Improved efficiency in asphalt recycling

t present, 12 million tonnes of RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement) are produced and used in Germany alone every single year — out of a total 40 million tonnes of paved material. It is a huge figure that highlights just how great the potential of recycling technologies is. Systems and technologies from KLEEMANN and BENNINGHOVEN enable operators of asphalt mixing plants to boost their process efficiency. A particularly impressive example comes from the Juchem Group, a long-standing customer of the WIRTGEN GROUP. The construction company have invested in four KLEEMANN MOBISCREEEN screening plants that screen the RAP, boosting the asphalt production quality and efficiency of the BENNINGHOVEN mixing plants.

New efficiency in the recycling process — With technologies from the WIRTGEN GROUP. For the Juchem Group, recycling reclaimed asphalt is part and parcel of their daily work. Layer after layer, WIRTGEN cold milling machines of a variety of milling contractors remove damaged road pavements. This monomaterial is transported to the group’s asphalt mixing plants for processing — with equipment made by KLEEMANN

and BENNINGHOVEN. The aim is to achieve aggregate fractions that are as homogeneous as possible, laying the basis for a high-quality end product. That is why the RAP needs to be screened thoroughly first. For the last few months, the Juchem Group have been deploying 4 mobile MOBISCREEN MS 16 D and MS 16 Z screening plants from KLEEMANN for this process step. They are each operated in combination with a BENNINGHOVEN asphalt mixing plant of type BA at the Landau, Niederwörresbach, St. Wendel and Ürzig locations.

www.advanced-mining.com

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY Step 2: Screening with mobile screening plants from KLEEMANN Next in line are KLEEMANN’s MOBISCREEN mobile classifying screens. They ensure that up to 80% of the RAP can be used for direct further processing immediately after delivery. Only the oversize grain needs to be treated in crushers or a granulator. This method is a great deal more cost-effective than subjecting all of the RAP to secondary treatment. Since part of the previously classified material is then stored in the open and can therefore become damp through exposure to the weather, fines < 5mm are screened beforehand, if necessary, and then stored in a dry place. This results in a significant reduction in the energy consumption of the asphalt mixing plant. The rule of thumb is that a 1% reduction in moisture corresponds to a 1 litre reduction in heating oil in 1t of asphalt mix.

The Landau location — shown here — operates a BA 4000 that was installed in 1999 and retrofitted with a multivariable feed unit in 2012.. (Photo: KLEEMANN GmbH)

Step 1: Reclaiming and inspecting recycling material In the rehabilitation projects carried out by the Juchem Group, WIRTGEN cold milling machines remove the surface, binder and base courses, extracting three different fractions. It is not uncommon for 3,000t of RAP to be milled off in a construction project — in just one work shift. “To ensure a high material quality, we inspect the RAP closely in our own laboratory and then select it,” says Dr Hermann Heppenheimer, Branch Manager at Asphaltmischwerk Landau Juchem KG. “The material also has to be highly homogeneous to allow further processing — and that calls for perfect processing techniques.”

Issue 04 | 2016

These facts prompted the Juchem Group to buy 4 KLEEMANN MOBISCREEN screening plants — three MS 16 D triple-deck screening units and one MS 16 Z doubledeck screening unit. The MS 16 D used by Juchem has a throughput of 150 — 300t/h. The feed material (0 — 150mm) is classified into the following grain sizes, depending on the asphalt formula of the mixing plant: 0 — 8, 0 — 11, 0 — 16, 0 — 22, or 0 — 32mm. The feed capacity is lower with finer screen meshes, but for the purposes of further processing, the focus is on achieving a homogeneous product. That’s another strength of KLEEMANN: the large number of different screen meshes combined with the simple replacement gives operators considerable flexibility. The operator can feed material to the MS 16 D while controlling it remotely at the same time. All the components of the unit are also easily accessible, making them very maintenancefriendly.

Step 3: Production of mix in the BENNINGHOVEN asphalt mixing plant In the Juchem Group’s mixing plants, the classified RAP is processed into a new mix. This has been the case since 1999, when the company invested in one of the first parallel drum systems in the Rhineland-Palatinate region. “The investment in recycling feed systems from BENNINGHOVEN has boosted our competitiveness,” reports Dr Heppenheimer. Juchem have since equipped several of their asphalt mixing plants with a variety of systems.

www.advanced-mining.com

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY Combination of multivariable feed and parallel drum systems delivers flexibility The use of parallel drums, a hot feed system, is particularly worthwhile for large quantities and high RAP feed rates of up to 70%. Juchem also rely on the multivariable cold feed system. In this case, the RAP is fed directly into the mixer in a cycled process. Feed rates of up to 40% are possible. Why have Juchem integrated both systems into their recycling process? “It gives us the flexibility we need. The multivariable feed enables us to also cover small quantities from 2t. And we use the parallel drum for large jobs. Both systems are sophisticated and deliver first-class quality,” Dr Heppenheimer explains.

BAUER Foundations Canada Inc. builds bridge foundations in eastern Canada

ontreal, Canada – Champlain Bridge in Montreal, Canada, is over 50 years old, and one of the most frequently crossed bridges in North America with up to 50 million vehicle crossings per year. Due to the extensive wear and prolonged road salt exposure over the years, a replacement of the bridge is now required. The 3.4-kilometer-long new Champlain Bridge across the St. Lawrence River is estimated to cost four billion CAD dollars and is thus among the largest infrastructure projects under construction in eastern Canada. BAUER Foundations Canada Inc. was commissioned with the foundation works for the two main structures – new Champlain Bridge and Nun‘s Island Bridge between Montreal and Nun‘s Island. Since October 2015, Bauer has installed a total of 200 concrete piles with diameters of 1,300 and 2,000 millimeters, ten of which were offshore in the St. Lawrence River – just one of the many technical and logistical challenges faced by the Bauer team. The ground conditions consisted of loose to very dense sand with occasional boulders, with pieces of rock, clay shale, bedrock and calcareous shale with a hardness of over 120 MPa. Bauer drilled a total of 200 piles, ten of which were installed offshore in the St. Lawrence River. (Photo: BAUER Gruppe)

NEWS & REPORTS Two Bauer drilling rigs, a BG 28 and a BG 39, were used for installing the piles with depths of up to 26 meters; the offshore drilling was carried out from barges. Additional concrete pumps were used to bridge the long distance from the shore to the pile location in the middle of the river. Part of the piles were drilled in the winter season, so special measures had to be implemented to allow working in temperatures as low as -25 degrees centigrade. In July 2016, BAUER Foundations Canada Inc. finished the work on schedule and to the complete satisfaction of the client. Â With its impressive stay cable design, the six-lane new Champlain Bridge shall also have separate pedestrian and bicycle lanes. It is designed for a useful life of 125 years and is expected to carry up to 60 million vehicles per year. The opening is planned for 2018

BAUER Maschinen GmbH is setting new standards in torque with the current BG 46

chrobenhausen, Germany â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With the ValueLine and PremiumLine, BAUER Maschinen GmbH is offering two drilling rig lines that address the most diverse customerspecific requirements. While the ValueLine rigs are optimized for Kelly drilling, the PremiumLine comprises highly modern, multi-function machines for all different kinds of applications in specialist foundation engineering.

With the BAUER BG 46 a machine from the latest PremiumLine generation was presented at the Bauma 2016 in Munich. This large diameter rotary drilling rig is equipped with a KDK 550 S rotary head, which provides a maximum torque of 553 kNm. In addition, it is possible to apply a torque of 700 kNm to the drill casing using a mechanically mounted torque multiplier. Through these exceptional forces, the rig has a capability to install casing deeper and overcome unexpected geotechnical conditions better than any other machine. To cope with these enormous forces, Bauer relies on the extremely robust V-kinematics for the mast attachment, which has proven itself over many years. So when it comes to torque, these properties makes the BG 46 to the most powerful rotary drilling rig currently available on the market. Â Moreover, the machine that is more than 33 meters tall has a whole range of other features to offer: the flexible mast concept enables the crowd system to be optimized specifically for each particular process or application. The folding auxiliary boom allows the auxiliary winch to be used also in all single pass applications without any restrictions. With the installed vario mast section, the crowd ropes do no longer need to be removed for transport when the machine is configured for kelly operation. The optional single-layer piggyback winch allows the complete pulling force of 450 kN to be used in any working situation without reduction. The design avoids rope jumps, meaning that an exceptional rope service life can be achieved; moreover, the easily serviced position provides straightforward access to the winch. Because of the highly

eipzig, Saxony – Germany has one of the longest highway networks in the world, coming in after China, the USA and Spain. According to the German Federal Statistical Office, it comprises almost 13,000 kilometers, and continues to be extended. The expansion and new construction of the German highway network is particularly important in view of eliminating traffic bottlenecks and opening up, or rather connecting, structurally weak regions – eventually, economic growth also means traffic and mobility growth. Several new road sections are currently under construction, including section 5.1 of the federal highway A 72 in the district of Leipzig, where BAUER Spezialtiefbau GmbH is also involved in a joint venture. Traffic has been flowing on the A 72 from Vogtland in Bavaria, via Chemnitz, to Borna and then in four lanes all the way to Leipzig since August 2013. This is where the last missing construction section 5 begins, starting from Borna to connect with the A38 south of Leipzig. Section 5.1 from Borna to Roetha has been under construction since the middle of 2013. The earthworks and superstructure on the almost ten-kilometer-long section began in October 2015. In this area, the planned highway section first passes over a former mining area dating from the coal production era and later along opencast mine pit embankments, which is why the ground must be compacted and its load-bearing capacity improved. Bauer is constructing a total of around 226,000 meters of vibro stone columns with lengths of up to 15 meters for this. In addition, there will be around 28,000 meters of replacement borings with re-compaction using the deep vibration methos down to a depth of 26 meters. Up to four rotary drilling rigs from BAUER Maschinen GmbH will be used for this. The new construction of the federal highway A 72 between Chemnitz and Leipzig, which totals 62 kilometers, is the last gap to close in the Saxony’s highway network and is pioneering for the entire central-German economic region.

The BAUER Maschinen Group again showcased numerous exhibits and newly developed products for specialist foundation engineering at the renowned construction equipment trade fair held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.

On the very first day of the fair, Bauer unveiled a system developed especially for the Asian market to industry experts and media representatives: the CSM 35. The concept for the then-novel Cutter Soil Mixing (CSM) method was devised by Bauer more than a decade ago. Drawing upon the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s experience in manufacturing trench cutters, in 2003 Bauer engineers developed an equipment and methodological concept in which the ground is loosened and mixed by cutter wheels rotating

With its GB 40, GB 50 and GB 60 series Bauer has a portfolio that can tackle any upcoming projects in the market. depth, the device is dimensioned for standard foundation engineering requirements. Its robust, torsion-resistant rectangular kelly bar with locking recesses means that it can undertake precision work to the highest levels of accuracy. In the field of grab technology Bauer also surprised visitors to the trade fair with the first public unveiling of the hydraulic BAUER GB 50 grab unit. As an enhancement of the well-known GB 46, the new GB 50 features numerous improvements, such as the increase in motor power from 224 to 261 kW, and in pulling force from 46 to 50 tonnes. The BT 70 base carrier not only meets the very latest requirements in the health, safety and environmental protection fields, it actually sets real standards: a key innovation is the pullout service platforms. They allow for safe and ergonomic maintenance in a freely accessible working area. A part of the lateral paneling acts as a hand rail during maintenance. The service platforms are stored as extendable, walk-on drawers on the underside of the support in order to save space. When the platform is extended, the working area underneath the upper carriage is released so that the component units can be easily reached from the ground. The patented free-fall system incorporated into the hoists enables the grabs to be used effectively in difficult soils. It is the first unit of its class to provide the option of a CAT tier 4 diesel engine. Another associated development is the new DHG V grab unit, the prototype of which was unveiled at Bauma China two years ago. It is specifically designed for use in free-fall mode, and it can be used effectively despite its minimized weight. Thanks to its minimized weight, it can also be used in combination with

Bauer exhibited its BG 30 at Bauma China as a representative of the ValueLine series which is specially designed for drilling with a kelly. The rotary drilling rig with the BT 80 support designed and built by Bauer is the first to adhere to the value for money principle from start to finish. It combines tremendous drilling performance at depths of up to 87 m and diameters of 2,500 mm with the usual level of comfort as well as outstanding cost-effectiveness. The mid-range ValueLine series has seen two new additions this year – the BG 30 and BG 26 – and it benefits from years of preliminary work undertaken by the engineers at Bauer. The rigorous focus on customer benefits, function and efficiency has made it possible to set a new standard for the cost-effectiveness of drilling rigs. Both rigs are also equipped with an integrated service platform that allows for easy, convenient and secure access for all types of maintenance work on the uppercarrige. The BG 30 VL produces truly impressive torque – combined with low diesel consumption levels. Its optional single-layer piggyback winch enables the winch pulling force to be kept constant, even at great drilling depths, and cable wear to be dramatically reduced. Bauer engineers also managed to combine the rugged hydraulic ValueLine feed-forward control with a new assist system which makes the work of the operator much easier.

Wirtgen Generation A point-attack cutting tools:

A reliable solution for cold milling

The market-driven development of GENERATION A point-attack cutting tools ensures a longer tool service life. This makes for economic milling while delivering ideal milling results, for example with the new Wirtgen large milling machine W 215. (Photo: Wirtgen GmbH)

irtgen is a driver of innovation in cutting technology, too, boasting the broadest spectrum of milling and cutting drums in the industry. For cold milling, the range extends from standard through fine milling drums to what is called the Eco Cutter, which has fewer cutting tools on the milling drum. At bauma China, Wirtgen is showcasing its GENERATION A point-attack cutting tools, a new development tailored specifically to the requirements of the Asian market.

Cutting technology is one of the essential core competencies in the development and production of cold milling machines, given that the optimum interplay of milling drum, toolholder and point-attack cutting tool is crucial for a perfect milling result. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s why Wirtgen lays particular emphasis on the continuous refinement of all cutting technology components. A market-driven new development, the Generation A point-attack tools further improve the performance and efficiency of cold milling machines. In terms of day-to-day job-site operations, this further optimizes the costs of milling work while delivering ideal milling results

Issue 04 | 2016

Optimizations prolong service life The new design of the carbide tip ensures optimum strength in hard and abrasive materials â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a strength that comes to the fore when penetrating hard asphalt layers, for instance. To achieve the maximum service life of the cutting tool, the degree of hardness of the steel body is optimized by a special heat treatment.

www.advanced-mining.com

NEWS & REPORTS The pronounced centering cone on the underside of the wear plate allows the shearing forces generated during the cutting process to be reduced sharply. This means that fewer milled particles can penetrate between the toolholder and the wear plate of the tool. The result is a longer toolholder life. The Twin-Stop clamping sleeve specially developed by Wirtgen also prolongs the life of the toolholder thanks to the optimized positioning of the stops. The Twin Stop ensures a defined, constant axial backlash of the tool in the toolholder. This greatly improves the rotational behavior of the tool, maximizing utilization of the carbide material. „With the new Generation A point-attack cutting tools, companies can improve the availability of their machinery still further and complete projects a great deal more economically,“ concludes Benjamin Grüber, Cutting Technology Product Manager at Wirtgen.

The new SP 60 series from Wirtgen offers flexible solutions for premium inset and offset concrete paving. (Photo: Wirtgen GmbH)

hen it comes to the precision and cost-efficient construction of concrete pavements and monolithic profiles, Wirtgenâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s slipform pavers are right for the job. With their modular design, the machines can be configured as needed, and virtually all conceivable structures are possible, including special shapes.

The SP 60 series replaces the successful SP 500 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and opens up new possibilities Thanks to its versatility in inset and offset applications, the SP 60 series is the new multi-talent for concrete paving. With its SP 61/SP 61i, SP 62/SP 62i and SP 64/SP 64i models, Wirtgen has developed a new generation of slipform pavers that combines the diverse applications of the globally successful SP 500, with the state-of-the-art technologies of the next larger SP 90 series.

Issue 04 | 2016

Engine technology: More power As part of its modification measures to comply with new emissions laws, Wirtgen has equipped the SP 60 series with greater engine output. The machines that meet EU Stage 4 and US Tier 4 Final emissions specifications have a 180-KW Deutz engine, or about 40% more power than the SP 500 (+20% at EU Stage 3a/US Tier 3). Despite the higher output, fuel consumption is sustainably reduced by the Eco Mode, which automatically adapts engine output to power requirements.

www.advanced-mining.com

NEWS & REPORTS Hydraulic technology: New concept

Uniform operating and control concept

More features than ever operate hydraulically in the SP 60 series. Thanks to a new hydraulic concept, energy is now used significantly more efficiently, meaning it is available for new equipment options, e.g. trimmers and a large delivery screw for offset applications, or the four swivel arms used to switch the machine from transport to working mode faster. The system starts as a basic version, and grows along with the number of modular equipment options selected. For customers, choosing options to meet their needs is highly cost-efficient.

Various features make the machines both simple and flexible to operate: a walkway that now extends across the full width of the machine for the first time; a standardized operating and control concept like that in the SP 90 series, comprising a central control system and four additional local control systems as standard. Intelligent interfaces support the plug-and-play connection of additional options. For example, remote controls can be connected to each of the crawler tracks to simplify and speed up setup of the slipform paver, such as the positioning and zeroing of the crawler tracks and swivel arms.

Machine control technology: Intelligent systems

Inset and offset mold systems

The machine control system in Wirtgen‘s slipform pavers is likewise state-of-the-art. Interfaces for the Wirtgen Group‘s WIDIAG service diagnosis and WITOS FleetView systems support users, as does the optional Paving Plus package. Combined with this package, the swivel arms can actively circumnavigate obstacles during the concrete paving process.

Like the modular system for the SP 94/SP 94i and SP 92/SP 92i, customers can now choose between different slipform systems for inset paving. The slipform modules are fully compatible with the SP 90 series. The SP 64/SP 64i (four crawlers on swivel arms) and SP 62/SP 62i (track steering) can thus pave concrete in widths of up to 6.0 m and thicknesses of up to 450 mm or more on customer request. Even widths of up to 7.5 m are possible if the machine is equipped with electric vibrators (without DBI).

The option of hydraulic rotational drives, available for all SP 60 series models, provides even better maneuverability. With hydraulic rotational drives, the 90° or 120° steering angle of the crawler tracks becomes a major advantage, for example when setting up the machine at a job site. Another new development is the option of choosing between two undercarriage sizes. Why is such an option necessary? For professional concrete paving at job sites with unpaved ground, the lanes for the pavers must be stabilized ahead of time. However, the larger crawler tracks exert less contact pressure per unit area, reducing the pressure on the ground, thus giving the slipform paver the stability it needs. This in turn has a positive impact on the quality of the paving results.

Synergies between series Apart from integrating the latest technologies in the development of the new SP 60 series, Wirtgen also focused on user-friendly operation of the machines and synergies with the SP 90 series.

Issue 04 | 2016

Also available are various offset molds and a variety of typical offset options, such as trimmers, different conveyor belts or augers. The three- or four-crawler version of the SP 61/SP 61i can slipform medium to large concrete profiles to the left or right of the machine. Contours of almost any shape – roadway edging, concrete safety barriers, water gullies and paths up to 3.6 m wide – can be produced costefficiently and in high quality. Thanks to their increased stroke, the lifting columns can now be raised 1,100 mm, and have 17% more power than in the SP 500. This gives the user much greater flexibility particularly in tight job site situations, for instance when lifting a slipform for a concrete safety barrier. Thanks to its higher power reserves, it can now handle heavier offset slipforms to expand its range of applications.

SP 60 series: Link between inset and offset pavers With the new SP 60 series, Wirtgen has not only expanded the variety of applications in its class of machines for widths of up to 6.0 m (inset paving) and increased the range of offset applications: By introducing the SP 61/SP 61i, SP 62/SP 62i and SP 64/SP 64i, it has also extended its line of slipform pavers to 12 models.

www.advanced-mining.com

NEWS & REPORTS The SP 60 series therefore rounds out the high end of the offset line, comprising the SP 15i and SP 25i. In terms of inset pavers, it bridges the gap between the small and the mid-range models in the SP 90 series, with paving widths up to a maximum of 9.5 m. The large slipform pavers with a maximum paving width of 16 m complete this product family.

New cutting tools for Wirtgen cold recyclers and soil stabilizers

The Wirtgen WR 240 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 China 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 had 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 04 | 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 quickchange 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)

be stabilized cost-effectively no matter how difficult the conditions may be, and even severely damaged road pavements can be recycled efficiently.

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 200, WR 240 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

Compared with the conventional method of replacing the soil, soil stabilization is both costeffective and saves resources. The tractortowed stabilizers WS 220 and WS 250 from Wirtgen are also used here. (Photo: Wirtgen GmbH)

t bauma China 2016 Wirtgen was presenting the latest highlight of its large milling machine range to international trade visitors for the first time: the new W 215. The machine was developed with a keen eye on high productivity and low operating costs. As market leader, Wirtgen offers the most comprehensive range of cold milling machines in the industry, with more than 30 machine types and milling widths of up to 4.40 m. In the small, compact and large milling machine classes alike, the specialist in road rehabilitation has the right machine for every application. Developed by experienced Wirtgen engineers and assembled in the Wirtgen Group‘s production plant in Langfang/China, the W 215 adds a new performance class to the Asian market. With a multitude of new and valuable features, it dovetails with the established Wirtgen features to optimize the milling process, offer high flexibility in use and make operation of the milling machine considerably easier.

Issue 04 | 2016

Ease of operation assists the workflow The chassis of the new W 215 is significantly narrower, giving the driver an improved view of the milled edge. LEVEL PRO PLUS, the brand-new leveling system developed by WIRTGEN, has been completely integrated into the machine’s control system, where it ensures a precise, high-quality milled result thanks to its simple intuitive operation. The preset target milling depth is accurately controlled via robust displacement sensors located in the hydraulic cylinders which are mounted on the side plates.

www.advanced-mining.com

NEWS & REPORTS It is indicated on the high-resolution LEVEL PRO PLUS color display. The plug-and-play interface allows additional sensors to be connected easily to the leveling system at any time.

High performance: 25 % more power for reliable milling More power equals more output equals faster work. This equation adds up thanks to innovations that enable customers to respond optimally to the different requirements on job sites. In the W 215 they can call on an extra 25 % of milling output. Equipped with a 470 KW diesel engine, the large milling machine delivers enormous engine power yet still consumes less fuel per cubic meter of milled asphalt. Three variably selectable milling drum speeds individually ensure the maximum milling output across a wide range of applications. The high-precision steering system on the front and rear crawler tracks also make for superb maneuverability on the job site.

The milling drum assembly is bursting with technology. â&#x20AC;&#x17E;Delta 18â&#x20AC;&#x153;, for instance, the new milling drum technology, guarantees a high milling output while reducing cutter costs. The right-hand side plate can be raised 450 mm, and the left-hand side plate by 330 mm, making it easy to mill flush to edges even at great working depths.

FCS Light: Greater machine capacity utilization reduces operating costs High capacity utilization is a key factor for the economic operation of large milling machines. It can be achieved particularly effectively if the cold milling machine is operated with a variety of milling drums, provided, of course, that the milling drums can be replaced quickly and easily. In the Flexible Cutter System Light, or FCS Light for short, Wirtgen offers the optimum solution: Milling drums with various tool spacings can be replaced in a short space of time. That makes it possible to perform a range of milling operations with one and the same machine. As a result, the W 215 is extremely versatile to use, covering

The new PM620 and PM622 Cold Planers (Photos: Caterpillar)

Caterpillar Inc. is pleased to announce the availability of the PM620 and PM622 Cold Planers. The machines are high-production, highly maneuverable half-lane milling machine that perform controlled full-depth removal of asphalt and concrete pavements in a single pass. Operating weight for the PM620 is approximately 33 330 kg (73,260 lb) and the PM622 is approximately 33 900 kg (74,580 lbs). Transport weight for the PM620 is approximately 29 400 kg (64,680 lb), and the PM620 is approximately 30 000 kg (66,140 lb).

Engine The PM620 and PM622 are powered by a Cat® C18 ACERT™ engine, a turbocharged, 6-cylinder diesel engine that provides 470 kW (630 hp) of gross power. The C18 engine meets regional emission requirements. In regions that require it, the engines meet U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final / EU Stage IV emission standards. For all other regions, the engine meets Tier 3 / Stage IIIA equivalent and China Nonroad Stage III emission standards. The engine is iso-mounted to reduce vibration and increase operator comfort. The Automatic Engine Speed Control feature allows the engine to optimize output to match the load, reducing excessive fuel consumption and wear on the engine.

demand variable speed fan draws ambient air from the top of the engine hood and through the cooling package, keeping the engine compartment cool. Heated air exits from the rear of the machine, directed away from the operator’s station for greater operator comfort.

Undercarriage and Drive System The PM620 and PM622 utilize a four-post design. The leg posts feature an auto-leveling function that provides smooth height adjustment without stepping. The machines are fully hydrostatically driven by two variable displacement propel pumps supplying oil to variable displacement motors on each track. Drive motors are piston-type and automatically control displacement to provide maximum torque for work or greater speed for moving around the job site. A propel lever/steering joystick provides infinite control of the travel speed within the range.

www.advanced-mining.com

NEWS & REPORTS The machines have a robust propel system with a diagonal cross flow design that provides exceptional traction. The pumps drive opposing track motors, front to back and side to side, to ensure the machine has power across the center of gravity of the machine. In extreme conditions, automatic traction control minimizes slippage by providing more power to tracks that grip. There are several automated functions to simplify operation. The operator’s platform has a ‘hold’ button to stop the machine and pause various functions while making truck interchanges or job stops. It returns to previous working speed and functions when deactivated. There is a speed limit to allow the operating speed to set to ensure consistent operations. The machines are equipped with position sensing cylinders in the posts and hydraulic systems, providing basic machine function improvements such as service height indications and rear leg auto-stop. It also enables the optional Cat Grade Control system to include additional capabilities. The drive tracks are based on durable, proven Caterpillar designs and components. Track tension automatically adjusts to ensure optimum operation. Track assemblies are 1788 mm (70.4“) long, 305 mm (12“) wide and feature replaceable, bolt on polyurethane track pads for long service life Four-mode steering is standard. An electronic control module processes inputs from the sensors on the front and rear tracks along with input from the steering selector controls. It provides precise simultaneous track movement in the crab and coordinated steering modes and automatically realigns the rear tracks to center when the front-tracks-only steering mode is selected. In the coordinated mode, the inside turning radius is a tight 2.00 m (6‘ 5“) providing exceptional maneuverability in confined spaces. A true-tracking alignment function provides greater steering precision, smoother cornering and reduced track wear. This function makes small adjustments to the alignment of individual tracks to ensure that the tracks are travelling in the optimal direction to make the desired maneuver without dragging a track or shorting a radius. This extends track pad and undercarriage component life.

Operator’s Environment The operator’s station features dual operating controls, including joystick steering/propel lever, upper conveyor controls and rear track steering controls. Ergonomic instrumentation layout has been designed for comfort

and ease of use. A touchscreen display is visible in day or night conditions, and keypads are backlit for comfortable low light operation. Keypad controls are positioned within easy reach for the operator. A large storage locker is standard. Options that add comfort for the operator include suspension seats and a hydraulically operated canopy. The canopy can quickly deploy and retract to a storage position without disrupting operation. The canopy can be equipped with optional front and rear windscreens that protect the entire width of the operator station. The touchscreen display provides easy-to-read gauges, function indicators and warning indicators to keep the operator informed of machine operation and vital systems. It also displays video from the optional remote cameras if equipped. An optional second display can provide an additional monitor for machine functions. The computerized monitoring system includes several electronic control modules (ECMs) that constantly monitor system pressures and engine conditions with multiple modes of operation. The system can provide selfdiagnostics and fault codes to the touchscreen display. The machines are equipped with excellent perimeter lighting for enhanced low light operation. The halogen lights are positioned around the machine to provide light to work areas. An upgrade to LED lights is available. The operator’s platform has floor lighting that activates upon button press from any control station to provide visibility when accessing the machine in low light conditions. An optional remote camera system is available. The cameras are positioned to provide the operator with views to the front and/or rear of the machine. Video is displayed on the primary touchscreen. Up to two optional magnetic mounting cameras are available.

Cutting System The cutting chamber features a design that streamlines material flow, reduces wear on the chamber, and has enhanced flush cutting capability. Side plates move via independent hydraulic cylinders that are equipped with position sensors. This ensures that the side plates float at the proper level, and eliminates binding. It also eliminates the need for a wire (yo-yo) sensor by enabling the entire length of the side plate to function as an averaging ski for grade matching. A hydraulically operated anti-slab device prevents slabbing of the road surface. It also protects the collecting conveyor and ensures an optimum discharge opening to the rotor chamber. The chamber also features a right side hinged door to provide service access to the

NEWS & REPORTS rotor. The moldboard, side plates and anti-slab device all feature raise, lower, float and hold functions.

Cat Grade Control Option

The rotor drive system features a dry clutch driving a planetary gear reducer, an efficient and reliable system of applying rotor power to the pavement. The clutch is coupled to the engine and is hydraulically actuated by the keypad controls on the operator’s console. Three cutting speeds are available to match the best rotor RPM and torque with the job site conditions, and are controlled electronically from the keypad on the operator’s control console.

The PM620 and PM622 can be equipped with integrated Cat Grade Control. The 2D-capable/3D-ready grade and slope system automatically controls rotor depth and cross slope to a preset cutting depth, and can be enhanced for full 3D control with the addition of optional equipment. The base system is fully integrated with the machine, providing easier, more precise operation and better system protection. The system can be configured with contacting or non-contacting grade sensors including Cat sonic sensors and mounting hardware, the side plate position or optional inboard ski. The machine can be set up to control grade on both sides using any combination of sensors. Or, the machine can be set up to control grade on one side of the machine and slope on the other. The system allows you to change the sensor arrangement during operation with simple commands, as work site application requires.

Automatic Load Control is a standard feature to enhance machine productivity while milling. An ECM continually evaluates engine rpm and controls propel speed as required to maintain peak performance for maximum output. Two five-rib, high-tensile-strength belts drive the rotor through a drum drive gear reducer. The hydraulically powered automatic drive belt tensioner prevents slipping and reduces maintenance. The PM620 is equipped with a 2010 mm (79“) wide high production rotor and the PM622 is equipped with a 2235 mm (88“) wide high production rotor. The maximum cutting depth is 330 mm (13“). The rotor is equipped with durable three-piece, quick release tool holders and carbide-tipped cutting bits arranged in a chevron pattern for maximum breakout force. Optional Cat Diamond Bits are available for greater cutting performance during certain applications. The quick release conical tool holders feature a tapered fit, maintaining tightness in the holder base. The mandrel features large, replaceable, carbide-faced loading paddles to effectively move milled material onto the collecting conveyor, resulting in higher production and less wear on the inside of the rotor chamber and cutting tools. Tripletree cutting bit placements on rotor end cutters provides optimum bit spacing to clean up loose material and reduces wear on drum when maneuvering in the cut. Optional Cat Diamond Bits offer the ultimate in cutting performance. The bits last up to 80 times longer than conventional carbide bits, extending periods between stops for bit maintenance. This increases production and reduces operating costs by facilitating more uptime and reducing the need to purchase and store pallets of carbide bits. Cat Diamond Bits are sharper than conventional carbide bits, reducing drag on the cutting system and allowing the machine to cut at faster speeds, increasing production. Reduced drag also decreases fuel consumption, vibration to the operator and machine wear, which lowers operating and maintenance costs.

Issue 04 | 2016

The position sensing technology coupled with the Cat Grade Control system provides the machine with functions such as an automatic plunge cut feature that eases the rotor into the start of the cut. The machines also have a ramp-in, ramp-out capability to provide a gradual, sloped entry or exit from the cut. An auto-jump feature allows the machine to exit a cut, clear an obstacle such as a manhole cover or grate, and re-enter the cut at the previously set depth with use of a single button. A cross communication function allows the operator to view and change settings of control boxes located on the opposite side of the machine. This provides the operators with a means to control both sides of a job from a single location. The system also provides a cross-coupling function that when an adjustment is made to the grade or slope of one side of the machine, the opposite side will automatically adjust based on the command parameters. Continual read-out for rotor depth and cross-slope is displayed on each control box and is visible in light or dark conditions. Sonic grade control sensors can be easily positioned on each side and provide a consistent accuracy to ± 3 mm (1/8“).

Conveyor System The collecting conveyor is driven by a high-torque hydraulic motor to ensure maximum efficiency. A large chamber discharge opening clears out the cutter box quickly to maintain high production. The seamless collector belt features 32 mm (1.25“) high cleats and is 850 mm (33.5“) wide to clear out the cutter box effectively and control

A first for the Cat small wheel loader models, adding the touchscreen display and Product LinkTM Elite to these small loaders ushers in the availability of Caterpillar Payload Management. The management system’s tip-off capability confirms to the operator that there is sufficient weight in the bucket before leaving the pile, increasing machine productivity. When this Cat feature is active on a 924K, 926M, 930K, 930M, 938K or 938M, it gives the operator the ability to place the proper amount of material in the mixer, hopper or truck the first time, every time, reducing the number of cycles and maximizing profit potential.

Enhancements to Cat Auto-Lube include the replacement of rubber hoses and swivel joints with steel lines running to the bucket pins, improving system durability. New secondary zerks added to the system enable the operator to manually grease circuits, should the need arise. To save time, the technician can add grease quickly to the new main manifold, which greases every circuit on the loader, or specific individual circuits can be greased independently.

Caterpillar Payload Management allows the operator to set target loading weight and monitor the cumulative amount of material loaded into a truck or hopper, which helps to prevent overloading. Additionally, the available system printer gives the operator the ability to print up to three copies of a recorded weight ticket. Since Caterpillar Payload Management is fully integrated into the machine, the site manager can track important statistical information like amount of material moved and number of trucks loaded with the use of VisionLink®.

At this year’s IMHX, from 13 - 16th September in Birmingham, the international automotive supplier Continental showcased smart solutions for intralogistics applications from its comprehensive portfolio.

“Customised Solutions”: tailored tyre products for various industrial areas From the chemical sector to the food industry, Continental CST offers a wide range of solid and pneumatic tyres that cater to the various needs and circumstances of different applications in the material handling sector.

ContiPressureCheck™ ContiPressureCheck™ (CPC) is a tyre pressure monitoring system that continuously measures the air pressure and temperature of tyres via sensors attached to

Issue 04 | 2016

the inside of the tyre. The values are transmitted wirelessly to a central control unit and transferred to a display in the driver’s cab, giving the driver a constant overview of every tyre – even when driving. If the values change due to a gradual loss of pressure or a tyre defect, the driver is warned by an audible & visible alarm. This early warning conserves the material, prevents tyre damage, and thus minimises downtime whilst improving safety. ContiPressureCheck Light is a solution incorporating just the CPC sensors in the tyres and a “Handheld” measuring tool. Instead of the driver having real time information in the cab, this solution enables the fleet manager to carry out regular tyre pressure checks on all the vehicles in the fleet in a fraction of the time compared to the traditional method using a pressure gauge.

PREMIERES ITS URBAN LAB 2:

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE FUEL CONSUMPTION IN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS

Renault Trucks has introduced Urban Lab 2 - the vehicle combines innovative technology in aerodynamics, hybridisation of the engine, tyres and vehicle-infrastructure communication to achieve potential fuel savings of up to 13%. (Photo: Renault Trucks)

Renault Trucks has introduced Urban Lab 2 - its distribution concept vehicle - at this year’s Pollutec at Lyon’s Eurexpo exhibition centre until December 2nd 2016. Developed with six partners under the collaborative Efficient Distribution Truck (EDIT) project, the vehicle combines innovative technology in aerodynamics, hybridisation of the engine, tyres and vehicle-infrastructure communication to achieve potential fuel savings of up to 13%.

URBAN LAB 2

Aerodynamics

Whereas Optifuel Lab 1 and 2 were experimental vehicles dedicated to Research and Development for Long Distance transport, Urban Lab 2, designed using a 19-tonne Renault Trucks D WIDE Euro-6, targets the urban and regional distribution sector.

To reduce the aerodynamic drag of the Urban Lab 2 and therefore its fuel consumption - engineers worked on airflow throughout the vehicle. Lamberet and Renault Trucks adapted the cab, chassis and refrigerated body to the recommendations of aerodynamic specialists, whilst meeting the regulatory and operating requirements of temperature-controlled transport.

Urban Lab 2 is the result of the EDIT project, financed by the Single Inter-Ministry Fund, Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Region, Métropole de Lyon, Ain Department Council and the FEDER. The vehicle features a range of technologies developed with six partners (Valeo, Lamberet, Michelin, BeNomad, INSA Lyon (LamCoS) and IFSTTAR (LICIT) and was originally shown in model form at !AA 2014 in Hannover. The aim is to offer accessible innovation by 2020, focusing on four key areas: aerodynamics, driveline, connectivity and tyres.

Issue 04 | 2016

The first step involves reducing the front surface area: „The refrigeration unit is normally located above the cab“, explained François Savoye, Energy Efficiency Strategy Manager at Renault Trucks. „On Urban Lab 2, we decided to position it in the wheelbase of the vehicle to free up space overhead and optimise the body/tractor link to lower the body and improve airflow. This meant we could incorporate a roof deflector shaped to provide seamless continuity with the body.

www.advanced-mining.com

113

NEWS & REPORTS Redesigning the interior architecture of the refrigerated body has made a marked improvement in the shape of the roof, without adding to the height. As for the sides of the vehicle, these are fitted with textile side deflectors. „We have used a PVC-coated textile for the first time“, François Savoye added. „When stretched and fitted on the side protectors, it provides a light, effective and economic system.“ Lateral airflow is also boosted by streamlined wheels and the fitting of rear deflectors that are perfectly in keeping with the architecture and continuity of the tailgate. These deflectors are angled so as to reduce depression in the slipstream of the vehicle and do not require any manual operation when handling the doors. The access step is completely covered thanks to a mobile guard opened by door extensions that provides a seamless continuity between the upper and lower sections of the cab. Ground clearance is further optimised by the addition of flexible components, thus optimising air flow in the understructure. In addition, replacing wing mirrors with a system of profiled cameras and internal feedback screens also helps reduce vehicle air resistance.

Stop&start and micro-hybrid To reduce fuel consumption, Urban Lab 2 also proves innovative in its engine design, with a system combining Stop&Start and micro-hybrid technology, developed in partnership with Valeo. The Stop&Start system cuts the engine when the vehicle comes to a stop (i.e. at a red light) thereby reducing fuel consumption. In addition, the micro-hybrid system recovers

Issue 04 | 2016

‘free’ energy, such as energy generated during foot lift or braking, via a high-power (48 V) reversible electric machine. This energy can be used to drive the electrical accessories of the vehicle or reduce the mechanical power required by the thermal engine. Renault Trucks has also been working with the Lyon INSA to reduce friction in the front face of the engine in order to optimise the overall efficiency of the micro-hybrid system.

Connectivity For Renault Trucks, drivers play a key role in reducing fuel consumption. This is why Urban Lab 2 features technology to help them with their driving by connecting the vehicle to infrastructures. Working with the company BeNomad, engineers have developed special navigation software that to provide this connectivity. For each journey, the GPS suggests the most efficient route that uses the least fuel, estimating both the predicted journey time and fuel consumption. This software has been configured to take not only fuel consumption into account, but also, and above all, the operational constraints of a distribution vehicle. Finally, Urban Lab 2 is connected to infrastructures to optimise driving through green lights. When Urban Lab 2 approaches traffic lights, it receives information from the lights and the system calculates if it is more efficient to brake or accelerate, when conditions and regulations allow. This therefore limits the amount of stop-start driving, which has such a high impact on fuel consumption. The traffic modelling expertise of LICIT has helped Renault Trucks to effectively integrate the effect of traffic on fuel consumption.

NEWS & REPORTS Tyres Already a partner on the Optifuel Lab 1 and 2 projects, Michelin is again working with Renault Trucks to develop energy-saving tyres specially designed for distribution vehicles. „The objective of these tyres is to further reduce rolling resistance, without negatively impacting other performance criteria, such as safety, grip or longevity“, explained JeanFrançois Cordonnier, Truck Pre-development Manager at Michelin. To this end, Michelin has deployed a wide range of technologies, in particular Infini-Coil technology, to guarantee tyre endurance and safety. Firstly, the selfgenerating tread ensures a lasting grip throughout the life of the tyre and secondly silica is used as a reinforcing agent in the tread to improve the compromise between longevity and rolling resistance. Finally, Renault Trucks and its partners have set themselves the ambitious target of reducing fuel consumption by 13% compared to an equivalent Renault Trucks D WIDE. The vehicle was tested for the first time on a closed circuit in November 2016 and will be road tested in Bordeaux from February 2017 onwards.

KEESTRACK America was founded ten years ago, to support the expanding dealer network on the North American markets. The company recently opened a new facility in Dallas/Texas. Focussing on aftersales and parts activities the new headquarter will form a crucial element of KEESTRACK’s strategy to become the leading supplier for crushing and screening contractors in the recycling and aggregates industries. The company’s large experience in the respective sectors on major European markets is reflected through a plant portfolio with highly mobile and flexible solutions, which also perfectly responds to the requirements of the growing rental business.

KEESTRACK’s technology is not only characterized by the high mobility between and on sites or its ease of operation – to guarantee economic efficiency and uncompromised end product quality, the company is also focussing on state-ofthe-art drive technologies and sophisticated processing concepts. Intensive research on sustainable electric drive concepts is only one example – another important field is the consequent use of modern communication technology for remote plant control and maintenance management with the telematics tool “Keestrack-er”. Perfectly adapted on processing environments, the GPS supported monitoring system provides real-time machine status information and offers a large set of valuable data for optimized operations.

One of the main advantages of KEESTRACK’s impact crushers are their compact dimensions: fully equipped with 2-deck secondary screen module the KEESTRACK R5 weighs just 55 tons and guarantees quick and cost-effective transports from site to site. An optional Dolly system is also available. (Photos: Keestrack N.V.)

NEWS & REPORTS Intelligent design Highlighting this integral approach on CONEXPO-CON/ AGG will be the new H4 tracked cone crusher. The light and compact plant features the KT-H4 cone crusher, adapted and supplied by a world-leading cone specialist. The fully automated unit produces up to 250 tph at maximum feed sizes of 7”. The wide variety of concaves allows a high flexibility in secondary or tertiary production of highly defined end fractions. To optimize production the plant can be optionally equipped with a pre-screen with fines chute and – as a world’s first – with a highly efficient threedeck secondary screen module with recycling conveyor for closed-circuit processing. A big feeder volume, large screening areas and high stockpile capacities allow very productive operations as in-line or stand-alone unit. The KEESTRACK H4 features a hybrid diesel-electric drive concept (345 kW Diesel (Tier 4f) / 330 kVA Genset / 135 kW E-drive for crusher). This guarantees economic fuel consumption and ease of maintenance through the wide use of electric motors on screens and conveyors. The recently introduced full-hybrid version H4e even allows full electric operation through mains or an external gen set. An additional electric motor/hydro pump then supplies the hydraulic driven feeder, the secondary screen module, the tracks and all hydraulic cylinders. High production rates and a great versatility regarding materials and end products make impact crushers increasingly the technology of choice for efficient mobile recycling applications. KEESTRACK recognized this trend very early and optimized its impactor range in terms of transport weights, ease of operation and maintenance. The use of high-strength steel qualities in machine frames and superstructures effectively reduces weight without compromising the static qualities or machine life-time. Intelligent monitoring and control systems guarantee trouble-free operation even in heterogeneous material mixes. Quick set-up routines, easy access for maintenance and the optimized wear characteristics of KEESTRACK’s original crusher technology increase the plants deployability and allow cost-effective operations even on short-term projects with smaller volumes.

Issue 04 | 2016

At CONEXPO KEESTRACK also displays the tracked impactor R3, with max. 33 tons the smallest unit of its impactor range and the 55-tons-unit R5. Both machines feature active pre-screening and will be shown with full optional equipment, which includes magnetic separators, fines conveyors and secondary screen modules with closed-circuit operation (R3: 1-deck; R5: 2-Deck). Both direct driven crushing units are characterized through large and heavy rotors, which guarantee high crushing energy combined with smooth running. Large inlet openings and efficient overload protection systems ensure productive operation in typical recycling applications without cost-intensive pre-sorting or pulverizing. The machines displayed on CONEXPO-CON/AGG both feature dieselhydraulic drives with modern load sensing hydraulics. As the larger R6, the R5 can also be equipped with a hybrid diesel-electric drive: A 150 kVA on-board gen set then supplies the electric drives for conveyors and screen modules, offering important fuel saving potentials up to 25% compared to the diesel-hydraulic version.

ptimised processes - latest technologies. These are the characteristics of the new TOWERMIX® models made by SBM Mineral Processing. The milestone set in the field of stationary concrete mixing plants leaves nothing to be desired concerning highest demands made on producing prefab concrete parts. Oberweis/Austria: The demand for quality and innovative solutions is the common thread running through the complete product range of the plant manufacturer from Upper Austria. The spotlight is especially on the new stationary series TOWERMIX® playing in a new league due to its outstanding performance portfolio.

per batch. The plant comprises ten chambers for up to 875 m3 of aggregates as well as a store for seven different kinds of cement is situated directly on the premises of the site. Weighing is carried out by a weighing machine and a state-of-the-art microprocessor control ensures precise controlling of all processes of the mixing plant.

TOWERMIX® 3000 + 1500 ST D10 875 V: Intelligent and Ecological

For the environmental protection, the plant is provided with an innovative recycling equipment for residual concrete. That residual concrete from the mixer trucks and the prefab element production can be reused in the mixing process.

To achieve highest concrete qualities, two counter current planetary mixers, installed in the centre of the plant, are producing 3000 l and 1500 l hardened concrete

The different aggregates are delivered by lorries and directly unloaded into the respective truck hopper. The tower is filled by a discharge conveyor belt and a bucket elevator especially designed by SBM. Filling the cement store is very easy due to a central blowing station at the silo building. Two extra-wide lanes ensure quick loading of the mixer trucks to cart off the produced concrete.

Full production even at low temperatures is not an issue for TOWERMIX®. A heating system installed in the plant, a warm-air heating for the ten different aggregates as well as a water heating system for both mixers ensure the required concrete temperatures to facilitate smooth yearround operation of the plant.

Easy Service & Maintenance As with all other plants, SBM has made sure that TOWERMIX® is easily accessible. The operators can reach the mixing area directly from the control room and all other service levels can be quickly accessed by the comfortable stair tower. Spare or wear parts can be replaced easily and simply due to an integrated crane. It is very simple to install technical upgrades of the plant such as fibre dosing.

Convincing Overall Performance Due to the optimum planning to the existing works considering the works logistics, the capacity planning and the design of the components, and the joint planning of the three-storey company building, the turnkey and ready-foroperation plant concept TOWERMIX® scored also with the company Traub GmbH & Co. KG, a producer of prefab and prestressed concrete parts. The building company trusts in the quality and the know-how of SBM as confirmed by managing director and owner Dipl.-Ing. Franz Traub: „Our old plant had to be replaced. It has been especially important to us that the new investment fulfils all state-of-the-art requirements of modern concrete technology and that it can be perfectly integrated into our works. We have been convinced by the complete performance of our partner SBM, and we are very satisfied with the production result.“
