• thyssenkrupp’s technology will help to access one of the world’s largest copper deposits containing roughly 7.5 million tons of copper – enough to equip 90 million electric vehicles • Gearless conveyor offers improved reliability and efficiency compared to conventional system One of the world’s largest copper reserves will soon be accessed with the help of highcapacity overland conveyors from thyssenkrupp. The Industrial Solutions business area recently won a contract to supply a material handling system for Anglo American’s new Quellaveco copper mine in the Moquegua region of Peru. thyssenkrupp will supply a 4,700 m long, 1,830 mm wide overland conveyor featuring dual 5.5 MW gearless drives operating at a design tonnage of nearly 11,000 tons per hour. The scope of supply also includes the complete material handling system for the concentration plant including 8 inplant conveyors and 11 belt feeders. First production from the new mine is expected in 2022.

Issue 01 | 2019

Due to their proven track record of high reliability and efficient use of energy, gearless drives were selected to power the new overland conveyor. The elimination of a whole series of mechanical and electrical components increases the reliability and improves the efficiency of the overall system by three to four percent. The maintenance requirements of gearless drives are also substantially lower compared to other drive systems. Torsten Gerlach, CEO of the Mining Technologies business unit: “This order again shows how gearless conveyor systems meet today’s demand for ever more efficient mining solutions and increased safety

requirements. It is the seventh overland conveyor project of this magnitude utilizing gearless drives that has been awarded to us since 2010. Together with our partner Siemens, we have managed to become one of the world leaders in bringing this technology to the market.” The new conveyor system will initially move 127,500 tons of primary crushed ore per day from the pit to the stockpile adjacent to the copper concentrator. Quellaveco contains approximately 7.5 million tons of copper in ore reserves – enough to wire 80 million homes or to equip 90 million electric vehicles. Vast sections of the overland conveyor will traverse from one valley to another through a 3.2 km long tunnel. After exiting the tunnel, the conveyor will pass over hilly terrain before terminating at the stockpile. The stacker will feature a structure designed to replace the discharge pulley without the need to clear out the stockpile for crane access. thyssenkrupp has designed similar systems for both the Antapaccay and Las Bambas mines in Peru. .

Royal double breakthrough in Oslo. After about 9 kilometers each through tough gneiss, on Tuesday, September 11, 2018 the twin tunnel boring machines from Herrenknecht „Queen Eufemia“ and „Queen Ellisiv“ achieved an historic double breakthrough near the city center of Oslo. The Follo Line Project is currently the country‘s largest infrastructure project and involves the construction of Norway‘s longest railway tunnel. The two 20 kilometer long tunnels connect Oslo with Ski further to the south and from 2021 will shorten travel time for commuters by half.

Via live stream, on September 11, around 25.000 viewers around the world watched the almost simultaneous breakthroughs of the two Herrenknecht sister machines „Queen Eufemia“ and „Queen Ellisiv“. Not only for client Bane NOR and the joint venture Acciona-Ghella was it an historic day. The use of a total of four Herrenknecht tunnel boring machines (TBMs) for the major Follo Line Project was a first for the Norwegian tunnel industry too. It is an advance of mechanized tunnelling technology into a country where conventional tunnelling traditionally dominates. But Anne Kathrine Kalager, Project Manager at Bane NOR, is certain: „In future TBMs will be a realistic alternative in large projects, even in our extreme hard rock.“ Since late 2016 the TBMs with diameters of 9,900 mm each have been boring their way through tough gneiss over a total length of around 36 kilometers. Tunnel boring represents the majority of the long tunnel – or 18.5 km of a total of 20 km tunnel on the 22 km long stretch. Completion of the Follo Line Project is planned in December 2021.

been used. They are among the most technically sophisticated tunnel boring machines and combine the functional principles of Gripper and Single Shield TBMs in one machine. In stable geologies, combining these methods permits the installation of concrete segments parallel to the drive. The best performance of „Queen Ellisiv“ under these extreme conditions was 19 rings or about 34 meters per day. But not only the drive was faster than expected. Factory acceptance of the first TBM took place in March 2016 already, just eleven months after receipt of the order. There were only 19 months between contract signing and the beginning of work of the fourth and thus last of the machines in Oslo in November 2016. At times, around thirty Herrenknecht service experts were on site simultaneously to actively help with the assembly of the machines. „So we were four months ahead of the official schedule with the TBM launch,“ explains Fernando Vara, Project Director of the Acciona Ghella JV.

Before the final breakthrough of the four machines, a total of four million cubic meters of rock – almost twice the volume of the Cheops pyramid – has to make way. In order to master the tough mission, Double Shield TBMs have

Regular maintenance and repair of the machines and their components are a prerequisite for consistently high tunneling performance in demanding Norwegian hard rock. (Photos: Herrenknecht)

before. You can only handle that with teamwork,“ says Francesco Giampietro, longtime TBM manager at Ghella.

During the drive, the tunnelling and service teams also work closely together. In Schwanau, up to 40 refurbishment experts take care of the professional reprocessing of the disc cutters. The linchpin of the drive is the quality of the cutting tools. The disc cutters made of special steel, 19 inches in diameter and each weighing up to 372 kilograms, are pressed against the extremely abrasive rock with up to 32 tonnes of pressure on 70 annular tracks. The geological conditions result in high wear. In the course of the project, approximately 4,250 cutter changes are necessary on each machine. „I’ve never had to deal with such hard rock

The Follo Line Project is currently the largest infrastructure project in Norway. From 2021, the high-speed line will connect Oslo with Ski to the south. Encouraging commuters to switch from cars to public transport is expected to reduce the volume of traffic in the Norwegian capital. An important milestone for this is the Follo Line. „Half the Norwegian population lives within a radius of 100 kilometers around the capital,“ says Kalager. „The Follo Line also strengthens the social foundation for the future.” Before trains can travel here, two machines must continue through extremely hard rock. In the spring of 2019 the final breakthrough of the two other tunnel boring machines is expected, currently still underway in the direction of Ski. Until then, every day „Anna from Kloppa“ and „Magda Flatestad“ are boring their way through one of the world‘s hardest rock types, with up to 300 MPa.

Each of the four tunnel boring machines (double shield, Ø 9,900 mm) has successfully drilled around nine kilometers through the hard Norwegian rock. (Photos: Herrenknecht)

n response to customer requests, Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology is expanding its Ranger™ DX series of surface top hammer drill rigs with two non-cabin Ranger™ DXR versions for improved safety in the toughest quarry and construction applications. Ranger DX series of surface top hammer drill rigs, suited for construction applications, quarries and open pit mines is now expanded with two new non-cabin drill rigs based on the Ranger DX600 and DX800 models, named Ranger DX600R and DX800R respectively. New Ranger DXR drill rigs can reach places that are offlimits to operators and where other drills fail to operate. They essentially offer the characteristic of conventional Ranger DX series drill rigs, reliability and large drilling coverage area from the standard 17.6m2 (189ft2) to an optional 26.4m2 (248ft2), in a lighter and more mobile package – a superior solution for hazardous conditions where safe and productive drilling requires advanced radio remote control capabilities.

Issue 01 | 2019

The non-cabin Ranger DXR drill rigs flourish on unstable benches and deep cuts typical to applications such as road and railroad construction, foundation drilling, trenching and pipeline contracts. The most hazardous of these extremely demanding jobs can be downright impossible without efficient remote radio control, which allows the operator to always choose the best position in terms of safety and visibility. The remote control panel also includes tramming control functionalities for fast hole-tohole movements and precise hole spotting.

Sandvik launches automation upgrade package for DD422i / DD422iE (Photos: Sandvik)

andvik Mining and Rock Technology has launched an automation upgrade package for its DD422i and DD422iE underground drilling jumbos. The upgrade has been developed to deliver 24/7 underground drilling for both miners and tunnelers. The new package contains three individual options which are available for both DD422i and DD422iE and can be selected as individual enhancements or as a total solution package. Continuous 24/7 production is now seen as a prerequisite for advanced underground mining and tunneling operations. Mining companies and contractors are constantly looking to use technological developments to better utilize their investment in terms of both equipment and human resources, seeking to boost their overall operational productivity. In particular, deeper mine or tunnel excavations lead to longer re-entry times for operators during shift changes, delaying the start point for production and resulting in a decrease in the number of working hours per shift. Deeper mine operations also often bring increased health and safety concerns due to various geotechnical challenges when the mines, contractors and OEMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are all keen to reduce operator exposure under these demanding conditions.

Issue 01 | 2019

Sandvikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new solution Two of the most advanced and productive automatic face drilling solutions currently on the market are the intelligent Sandvik 400i series drills, DD422i and DD422iE. These smart machines have already enabled many underground mines and contractors to automate their development drilling during shift changes, blasting and ventilation hours, allowing them to independently drill from one third to up to half a round, depending on the conditions at the face. Despite the benefits that these drills provide, there are some limitations in terms of the number of holes that can be drilled in the absence of an operator. Limiting factors such as the life of the drill bit dictate how many holes can be drilled in certain rock conditions, thereby affecting production. Other instances which can negatively

www.advanced-mining.com

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY affect production include capability to drill perimeter holes reliably in an automated and unmanned process without excessive risk of wall collisions or the activation of the boom anti-collision system that can stop the boom movements and the production. These limitations have led directly to the development and launch of the DD422i / DD422iE automation upgrades, enabling Sandvikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s customers to enjoy improved productivity, better reliability, and â&#x20AC;&#x201C; most importantly of all - to improve operational safety for the underground workforce.

Boom collision avoidance system To overcome the difficulties outlined above, Sandvik has developed a series of optional extras for its DD422i and DD422iE underground drill rigs - available separately, or as a total package. One such feature is the new boom collision avoidance system, based on a dynamic route recalculation model that predicts potential collisions. This prevents the drill, when being operated unattended, from shutting down when the boom encounters a possible collision - thereby ensuring that not only is the collision avoided, but also that production is maintained without any interruptions. During manual boom control, the system also protects the unit from careless operation by first slowing, and then stopping, boom movements if they are too close to the carrier or another boom.

Drill bit changer The new patented semi-automatic drill bit changer allows the bit to be changed from a safe location, thereby reducing the time the operator spends in front of the drill. As well as enhancing productivity, the new drill bit changer also reduces the risk of personnel exposure to weak ground conditions (such as at the face itself) and also the need to get in and out of the operator cab (which is one of the main cause for various angle and knee injuries in underground operations). The bit changer consists of racks of drill bits (6 or 9 standard bits, plus a reaming bit) for both booms. The principle is simply to remove the old bit and then retrieve a new one from the boom aside when the need arises.

Teleremote drilling The key part of the new package is a Teleremote drilling control, which includes a drilling control panel that enables the drill to be operated remotely - for example, from the

surface of the mine. This allows the operator to help the unit to drill more holes during shift change, blasting and ventilations times - also reducing the risk of equipment damage by allowing a remote supervision of the drill when operating unmanned. The onboard package consists of cameras, wireless antenna, safety-rated access protection system and a control logic to handle commands between the drill and the remote control station. The offboard package contains a remote control station, viewing screen for cameras located on the unit and some auxiliary controls for both lights and cameras. The package is light and compact, allowing the control station to be easily moved from one place to another where required.

More holes per shift By using the Sandvik DD422i / DD422iE automation upgrade package, more holes can be drilled during an operating period, improving overall productivity of the underground mine development process. Where required, it is also acts as a solution to reduce operator exposure to potentially dangerous conditions at the face, thus making overall drilling production not only more reliable, but also safer.

o match the high demand for natural stone grains in the current boom in mainstream construction, some operators who normally drill and blast on their own are buying additional drill meters through service providers. In the light of this development, the latter are also increasing their capacities. That is just what German drilling and blasting company Klaus Berge did when it invested in a new Sandvik drill rig, RangerTM DX900i, thus also becoming the first in the country to operate the completely new type of drill rig. It was not long ago that German experts came into contact with the new Sandvik top hammer drill rig, Ranger DX900i: one of the first pre-production models was presented at the Sandvik stand at Steinexpo 2017 as an absolute novelty prior to the official market launch. On this occasion, potential operators were impressed at first glance by the 290° working radius of the machine, covering a drilling area of 55 m². With fewer transfer operations, fixed drill grids can be drilled faster, more precisely and more safely. New and powerful RD920 series rock drills with outputs from 21 to 27 kW are available for the drill rig. The drill rig

is equipped with Sandvik GT60 drill steel for straight holes in diameters from 92 mm to 127 mm. All this, combined with a fuel efficient 210 kW engine, make it the most powerful and economical surface top hammer drill rig in its class. „What is special about this powerful type of drill rig is that even difficult, narrow and very uneven drilling fields can be drilled, which is not possible to the same extent with any other rig,“ says Klaus Berge, transport, drilling and blasting contractor from Alheim, Hesse, Germany. This aspect, in combination with the strong drilling performance, was decisive for him and ultimately pivotal in the purchase of

a Ranger DXi drill rig. „During the fair visit, Olaf Gruner, German Sales Manager for Sandvik drilling equipment, gave us detailed advice and information, including on the advantages of the proven iTorque control system,“ recounts Berge. This control system brings important advantages to the drilling process, such as the automatic adjustment of drilling parameters for high drilling accuracy

Impressed by the possibilities offered, Klaus Berge has now invested in Ranger DX900i. It certainly isn’t every day that the owner of a small company in Germany is the first to buy a premiere drilling unit of a completely new series. But Berge, who has been drilling and blasting since 1989, sees a good reason for this: „We have been using the predecessor of the new model, i.e. Ranger DX800, for the past six years and are completely satisfied with it. That is why we wanted to rely on a model in the Ranger series again for our upcoming supplementary purchase.“ Already after the first few days of operation, Berge witnessed the fulfillment of another promised advantage: „The construction of the new Ranger DX900i is different from its predecessor. That means it is, once again, noticeably more stable. It has also been confirmed that the new rock drill is stronger and, accordingly, strikes perfectly. For that reason, and also because more flushing air is available, it is more economical to drill.“ The real use of the intelligent system equipped with Industrie 4.0 docking stations will only be revealed in practice over time.

four-day supplier training right at the start of the operation, there will be a second training four weeks later, where all unanswered questions concerning the drill can be clarified together with the manufacturer’s instructors.

Ideal drilling site in northern Bavaria Klaus Berge‘s references are exemplary. In addition to heavy haulage and drilling jobs, the company also provides complete services for the operation of quarries. Nevertheless, no matter how much experience a company has racked up, thoroughness is essential to rapid operational success and safety when training on completely new devices. For this reason, Klaus Berge’s personnel were trained on the newly delivered Ranger DX900i in September 2018 at Hartsteinwerke Schicker OHG’s Diabas quarry in Kupferberg. The traditional company currently operates four quarries in northern Bavaria – in Bad Berneck, Kupferberg, Stadtsteinach and Rugendorf. While extraction and processing have so far largely been handled by the company‘s own workforce, since the acquisition of the fourth site and due to the currently very high demand, the integration of additional drilling service providers has been necessary. The site is located 270 km away from Klaus Berge’s

headquarters, i.e. beyond the usual deployable radius of the Hessian supplier’s external drill meter. However, with demand and supply fitting together just perfectly, exceptions are ever present in such cases. Klaus Berge operator Andreas Soldan, Sandvik Sales Manager Olaf Gruner and Sandvik instructors Ralf Müller and Raoul Düsing were involved in the preparations for the first deployment of Ranger DX900i. A key role was played by Pauli Lindholm, a Service Technician from the Sandvik factory in Tampere, Finland. With his first-hand knowledge of the machines, Pauli has the most insight into Ranger DX900i. His task is to „train the trainer“, because even his

For such situations and to ensure the future transfer of knowledge, the redesigned, ergonomic and comfortable ROPS/FOPS certified cabin of the technologically advanced drill rig includes an instructor’s seat behind the driver‘s seat.

Satisfying first test run In remarkable silence – thanks to collaboration with the Finnish Technical Research Centre VTT the noise levels in the new iCab-cabin have been brought to a minimum level – the instructor explains the new user interface and control panels of the touchscreens. The user-friendly joysticks are handled correctly by all Ranger DX900i newcomers right from the first try in the test run. Instructor Pauli, behind the machine’s operator seat, is visibly satisfied with the result even at this early stage. Just a few days later, operator Andreas Soldan has also established a trusting relationship with Ranger DX900i and appreciates its advantages – at least as far as the hardware is concerned. The hydraulic, self-propelled surface drill rig with a nimble automatic rod changer will do great in terms of visibility during production drilling in quarries, that much is already clear. It will also earn points if the Klaus Berge crew, on behalf of construction companies, is involved in infrastructure measures with drilling and explosive equipment. According to the current order situation, there is still much to do in the coming months. But it will have quickly paid off for contractor Klaus Berge to have added a particularly productive device such as Ranger DX900i to the company’s fleet.

a north-south link to reduce the volumes of traffic passing through the center. HeidelbergCement’s aggregate company Jehander is using Continental quality solutions at its Löten quarry near Stockholm to enable rubble from the mega-tunnel to be reused for road construction. The number of city dwellers is growing exponentially across the globe. This urban growth fever has many consequences, including lack of space, limited living space, congested road networks resulting in gridlock and poor air quality – and is a common problem for megacities as well as for Stockholm. About one fifth of the Swedish population is currently living in the Greater Stockholm area. That is more than two million people – and the number is rising. According to the Swedish Chamber of Commerce, Stockholm – which is situated on fourteen islands and has been coined the “Venice of the North” – is the most rapidly growing city in Europe. What is more, around half a million of Stockholm’s residents are commuters. The new 21-kilometer “Stockholm Bypass” highway link is being built on the outskirts of the capital to cope with the city’s continuous growth and make everyday life easier for residents by reducing traffic jams and improving air quality.

More than 18 kilometers of the bypass are up to 80 meters below ground level and pass under Sweden’s third-largest lake (Lake Mälaren) in three places. Once the bypass opens (scheduled for 2026), as many as 11,000 vehicles an hour (145,000 vehicles a day) will pass through the two separate tunnels traveling on three lanes in each direction. It would be easier to build an overground system of routes and bridges. But Sweden is a leader in sustainable urban planning and is very focused on environmental preservation – so constructing a tunnel is the best approach under these circumstances. The self-confessed goal of Sweden’s Ministry of Transport is also to complete the project creating the smallest possible CO2 footprint in the process.

From the mega-tunnel to the quarry then back on the road Constructing mega-tunnels like the Stockholm Bypass project generates several metric tons of rubble. A series of conveyor belt systems are being used to transport the extracted rock to three temporary ports that have been set

substantiate both of these comments. “So far we have taken roughly seven percent of the total 5.5 million metric tons of rock that need to be processed out of the tunnel. For this undertaking we can count not only on the quality and long service life of Continental’s conveyor belts, but also on the smooth operation of the systems. Service plays just as big a role as the high-quality products and systems in our longstanding partnership.” up for the project. The rubble is taken across the waterways by inland vessels from the construction site in Stockholm to Jehander’s quarry in Löten. Transportation by sea has proven to be a much more efficient mode of transport than using truck fleets. Ships can carry between 1,500 and 3,000 metric tons of rock per load, whereas trucks can manage only 35 metric tons. As many as four fully loaded ships a day arrive in Jehander’s port. The rubble is then reused as concrete mostly for road construction, or is used to build houses and office buildings in Stockholm and the surrounding area. But first the rock has to be washed, crushed, and treated at Jehander’s quarry site. The company operates six strategically placed quarries in the Stockholm area. This is not surprising, because if there is one thing the growing city needs it is construction material. “Here at Löten quarry, our textile conveyor belts are currently working at full speed as a result of the major bypass construction project,” Continental’s Daniel Grimes explains. “They have proven to be an exceptionally reliable solution on numerous projects that building materials company HeidelbergCement and its subsidiaries have worked on in Sweden as well as on projects all over the world.” Niclas Pettersson at Jehander can

With expert advice, emergency support and an extensive service offer that covers every special case, the technology company ticks all the boxes when it comes to safety and flexibility requirements.

Belting out capacity for innovation What is more, Continental has a suitable conveyor belt in its range to meet customers’ construction requirements – whatever they may be. Steel cord conveyor belts are suitable for particularly high-stress transportation requirements, and corrugated-sidewall belts, which take up very little space, are ideal for building suburban rail networks. They emit very low noise levels, which is especially ideal in cities. They can convey bulk material at vertical angles and lifting heights of 400 meters and clear away up to 6,000 metric tons of rubble an hour. Conveyor belts also have clear advantages to trucks when it comes to tunnel construction. Using them means that no extra exhaust systems have to be installed during the tunnel works, because Continental’s system solutions do not produce any emissions. Sweden demonstrates its capacity for innovation time and again with construction projects like the bypass, large parts of which are being built underground. This fact is also confirmed by this year’s Global Innovation Index in which Sweden is ranked third out of a total 126 economies, behind Switzerland and the Netherlands. “For my whole team here in Sweden, it is really special for Continental to be involved in this major pioneering project,” emphasizes Grimes.

tunnel builders. Drilling equipment from Epiroc, a leading productivity partner for the mining, infrastructure and natural resources industries, is being used for this purpose as it is able to penetrate the hard rock to drill the blast holes. It can cover transverse sections of rock upwards of one hundred square meters, which makes the process as economical as possible. The drill rigs use as many as three extension arms, which places a huge strain on the tires when the machines are in motion. That is why the drilling machines are fitted with Continental DrillMaster premium tires. High cut resistance, good traction and stability are qualities that are simply essential for tires under these working conditions. The Continental DrillMaster with its V.ply design is the perfect choice here. A highly cutresistant rubber compound protects the carcass of the tires in environments where there is freshly blasted rock. The tire carcass is also specially equipped for the heavy loads and its innovative zig-zag tread design features a maximum number of gripping edges in all directions. These features allow the machines to cope with extreme gradients and downhill slopes as well as to undertake cornering maneuvers safely.

Reduced Vibrations and Noise:

Continental Develops New System for Compact Loaders

The new chassis system for compact loaders features a track with rubber drive lugs. (Photo: Continental)

• Reducing vibration and noise levels results in enhanced workplace safety • New drive with solid-rubber drive lugs permits higher drive speed • Lower system wear ensures longer lifetime for drive and track Technology company Continental has developed an innovative chassis system for compact loaders whose use of a track with drive lugs made of solid rubber sets it apart from the conventional technology for these specialpurpose vehicles. Construction sites often have numerous vehicles operating at the same time. For the people working there, that means not just that a high level of concentration is required but also that there is a high level of background noise. To reduce the additional stress, Continental has developed a new drive system for compact loaders that makes the working conditions for the driver significantly more comfortable. The new chassis uses solid-rubber drive lugs for the track instead of a conventional track drive with rubberized metal ribs. The new lugs particularly

reduce the vibration and noise levels, resulting in less fatigue and greater attentiveness while working – and thus in enhanced safety and efficiency in the workplace. The new drive also permits a higher operating speed because of the reduction in vibrations.

Rubber track instead of metal/metal drive Compact loaders are particularly used in the construction sector. The use of tracks ensures that the vehicles do not sink into soft ground and guarantees good traction in different ground conditions. Conventional drive

www.advanced-mining.com

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY systems have two endless tracks tensioned around a track suspension system mounted on the chassis. However, the resulting vibrations of this metal-on-metal track drive can generate significant noise levels and lead to a jerky drive for the operator. Consequently, the operating speed is restricted. Premature wear because of high local stresses is another outcome. Continental’s new chassis development uses drive lugs made of solid rubber for the track. Compared with a metal-on-metal track with rubberized metal ribs, this achieves optimized load distribution and therefore enables low-vibration and low-noise operation. Overall system lifetime is also longer because the drive lugs are made of solid rubber. In conventional chassis, a metal element incorporated in the drive lug leads to a faster and higher degree of wear on the drive sprockets as a result of local load peaks. The solid-rubber drive lugs extend the system’s service life and therefore also improve the price/ performance ratio.

Up to 7 dB lower vibration

Continental / ContiTech Jochen Vennemann External Communications Manager ContiTech Phone: +49 511 938 18024 E-mail: jochen.vennemann@contitech.de

Continental carried out extensive testing during the development of the new chassis for compact loaders. This included installing a microphone in the cab of a current production model to record the noise and vibration levels. At almost every frequency analyzed, the new chassis system results in a lower vibration level at the driver’s seat and handrail of up to 7 dB. The data also revealed a noise level that was up to 5 dB lower, which means that the sound intensity was approximately halved. Lower noise and vibration levels make operating a compact loader more comfortable. Reducing the physical stress on drivers protects their health and improves their working conditions.

Continental is already working with manufacturers on strategies to meet the stricter NOx standards of the future.”

Optimal Control of Operating Temperature When it comes to NOx emissions, regulations have so far paid little attention to urban construction sites. However, in just a few years’ time, much stricter nitrogen oxide limits are expected for road-going commercial vehicles such as trucks, and experience has shown that similar measures for non-road vehicles will soon follow.The cold-start phase will be particularly critical when meeting these requirements, given that the exhaust systems of construction machines such as crawler vehicles or diggers, for example, are relatively long, which means they have a high thermal mass and are subject to higher heat losses. “The challenge

Issue 01 | 2019

is to ensure that the exhaust system is heated as quickly as possible to a temperature where NOx conversion can start,” says Dr. Presti. Because the sooner NOx conversion begins, the greater the reduction in local NOx pollution. Close-coupled mounting of the catalysts (oxidation catalyst and SCR catalyst) is a good strategy for ensuring that waste engine heat reaches the catalyst components as quickly as possible. “For the same basic engine, the catalysts used must be easily adaptable to a wide range of construction machines,” Presti continues. Here Continental offers two solutions. The new ‘concertina-type folding technique’ for metallic substrates makes it possible to implement asymmetrical catalyst dimensions that are more closely adapted to the available packaging space. Using the slanted metallic CS substrate (CS = crossversal structure), which dispenses with a smooth intermediate layer, it is also possible to achieve an approximately 20% reduction in mass. At the same time, the turbulencegenerating CS foil structure improves the efficiency of the catalysts, with benefits particularly in terms of reducing the amount of costly precious metal that needs to be used in the substrate. “Substrate geometries that allow closecoupled mounting of the catalyst are a powerful design tool for customers,” says Presti. By developing heat quickly, electrically heated catalyst elements can serve a ‘stopgap’ function until other heating measures come on stream. These electric heating substrates can either be mounted as diesel oxidation catalyst or can be integrated in the SCR catalyst. A further intelligent solution would be to inject fuel into a mixing pipe, with subsequent catalytic conversion into heat immediately upstream of the catalyst. “This is a very efficient method because the heat is directed only where it is really needed, rather than simultaneously heating the

Caterpillar Safety Services announces the development of CatÂŽ Safety VR, a new virtual reality (VR) safety training module. Customized for paving applications, the new VR safety training solution immerses the trainee into a virtual four-lane rural highway construction site, so the employee learns to interact with coworkers and identify hazards in a safe and controlled environment. Road construction jobsites are full of hazards and distractions that create risks for employees, especially new workers. Tens-of-thousands of traffic accidents and hundreds of deaths are logged annually at road worksites throughout the United States. In-depth training related to specific road construction hazards, the importance of following proper procedures and effective communication among workers can help to reduce safety incidents at the jobsite. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given the industries we serve and the hazards workers face in those industries, having a safe alternative to real world training is important. As

the workforce evolves generationally, so does the way in which training is delivered. VR is an engaging learning experience for all, and numerous studies have shown memory retention to be higher with VR than through more traditional training methods,” says Zach Knoop, Caterpillar Safety Services general manager. “We developed this safety training module for one of our long-time customers, who is a world leader in the construction and maintenance of transport infrastructure. However, the program can be adapted to meet the needs of specific customers, industries and applications.”

Real Scenarios

Once putting on the VR headset, the trainee is immersed in the virtual fourlane highway project for a site flyover and a pre-shift “huddle” with coworkers. A series of five scenarios then plays out during the training session, which is designed to show employees the many potential hazards associated with paving a highway adjacent to live traffic. After receiving instructions from the foreman, the user advances to the taper to inspect and installs traffic control devices, which helps employees to focus when encountered by unpredictable traffic traveling at a high rate of speed. Module scenarios at the paving train help the user to identify and negotiate blind spots, safely navigate around and between equipment, and improve communication with workers. As the module progresses, another setting features an excavator and coworker using a concrete saw to teach the importance of always wearing the proper personal protective equipment (PPE).

The new Cat Safety VR comes complete with everything a company needs to conduct the safety module. The kit includes a gaming laptop preloaded to run the program, HTC VIVE virtual reality headset system (including hand controls), mount stand kit and transport case. Cat Safety VR is mobile, so users can easily transport the kit anywhere to conduct training with employees.

The training module concludes with a daily wrap-up to reinforce the positive lessons learned and stress that no production “emergency” at the jobsite is worth risking the safety of the worker or anyone else. Total program run time is approximately 20-30 minutes per session. “Cat Safety VR helps the trainee learn how to interact with coworkers, other contractors and the equipment, all in a safe and controlled environment,” comments Justin Ganschow, Caterpillar Safety Services business development manager. “For both new and experienced employees, VR is an effective and memorable experience to support the company’s overall safety training program and advances the safety culture.” For more information on the new Cat Safety VR, customers can visit: www.cat.com/VRsafety.

The 2019 product update package for Cat® M Series Medium Wheel Loaders (950M – 982M) includes technology advances that provide: lower operating costs via extended service intervals; enhanced operator comfort with new seats and suspensions; emissions control strategies to meet EU Stage V standards (EU only); added machine configurations (982M Forestry Machine and 982M High Lift); expanded productivity measurement tools; remote software update capability; and refinements in ground engaging tool and coupler systems. Periodic updates allow Caterpillar to bring new and improved features to market more quickly and more frequently than do conventional New Product Introduction (NPI) cycles.

Extended service intervals, emissions control U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V models save maintenance costs by extending engine oil, engine oil filter and hydraulic oil filter change intervals from 500 hours up to 1,000 hours. Based on estimated comparisons of total engine and hydraulic fluids, filters, and sampling costs during a 6,000-hour period, costs can be potentially reduced by 16 to 23 percent. (For Tier 3 equivalent models, extended intervals apply only to hydraulic filters.)

Issue 01 | 2019

In addition, several fuel and engine oil filters are being converted from spin-on to cartridge-type. Benefits of cartridge-type filters include fewer parts to replace at servicing (housing is retained), easier disposal of used elements, and less costly replacement parts.

New record project in Kuala Lumpur

BAUER Aktiengesellschaft Schrobenhausen | Germany

BAUER Spezialtiefbau GmbH can look back on many records in recent years. In addition to Bauer’s contribution to the currently tallest building in the world – the 828 m high Burj Khalifa in Dubai – Bauer is also participating in the construction of the tallest skyscraper of the future: the Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia, with a height of over 1,000 m, that will also stand on Bauer piles. In Malaysia too, Bauer has participated in many prestigious projects over the years – including the limestone cavity filling and slumpzone treatment for the construction of the world-famous Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, which were also among the tallest buildings in the world from years 1998 to 2004 and are still the highest twin towers in the world. BAUER (MALAYSIA) SDN. BHD., the local subsidiary of BAUER Spezialtiefbau GmbH, has been recently awarded a contract by Arena Merdu Sdn Bhd, a fully owned subsidiary of KLCC Holding Sdn Bhd, owned by Petronas, the Malaysian National Oil Company, for a new project in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, which will again break all records. Bauer will be carrying out diaphragm wall and piling works for the skyscrapers in lot 164, lot 165 and lot 166 in the KLCC – the Kuala Lumpur City Center – until July 2019. The development consists of a 4-story basement car park, 5-story shopping center and a office tower.

FOR MORE INFORMATION AND CONTACT:

What is so special about this project is the pile depth: Out of a total of 225 contracted piles, 137 piles for the Tower have a diameter of 2,500 mm and have been designed to be constructed to a depth ranging from 90 m up to a maximum depth of 150 m. „These are currently to my knowledge the deepest piles ever made in Malaysia,“ says Egon Stahl, General Manager of Bauer Malaysia. Prior to start of piling at each pile position, a soil investigation is carried out to determine the competency of the bedrock level and determine the pile toe level. „Only then can the actual drilling begin,“ continues Egon Stahl. Two further „records“ are needed to reach the depths required for the bored pile: a BG 72 – Bauer‘s largest rotary drilling rig to date – and a fivefold kelly bar that is 150 m long will be used. „The project is thus a record in three aspects: Bauer is doing drilling work for the deepest piles to date in Malaysia, with what is currently Bauer‘s largest drilling rig and the world‘s longest kelly bar. „A truly unique project,“ sums up Egon Stahl.

High daily outputs in windrows are no problem for the new Wirtgen 220 SM 3.8/ 220 SMi 3.8. With a cutting width of 3.8 m and a cutting depth of up to 350 mm, the 708 kW surface miner is perfect for soft-rock mining in operations of all sizes. (Photos: Wirtgen)

irtgenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 220 SM 3.8/220 SMi 3.8 surface miner selectively mines raw materials up to a cutting depth of 350 mm and a uniaxial compressive strength of 35 MPa. Thanks to its 3.8 m wide cutting drum designed specifically for soft-rock mining, the compact surface miner achieves maximum productivity at low operating costs and is perfect for use in small to large mining operations.

Efficient and Environmentally Sustainable Raw Material Extraction Selective extraction makes it possible to mine raw materials with a high level of purity. The material, which is extracted in an environmentally friendly manner without drilling or blasting, is continuously deposited behind the machine in a windrow and then loaded onto trucks with other equipment. In this context, refraining from drilling and blasting makes it possible to conduct efficient mining operations close to industrial sites and other infrastructure such as pipelines or high-voltage power lines, which ultimately results in the optimized exploitation of the deposit.

Issue 01 | 2019

Powerful Cutting Drum Unit The cutting drum is designed specifically for demanding windrow applications in soft rock, such as coal or salt. Maximum cutting performance combined with the ideal use of engine power and low specific fuel consumption allows raw materials to be mined in an extremely costeffective process. Six different adjustable cutting drum speeds ensure that the machine can be perfectly adapted to the material being extracted. This leads to a significant reduction in pick wear, minimal diesel consumption, and increased productivity, which translate into an impressive daily output and low cost per ton of extracted material.

for simple transportation in standard container dimensions. This type of plant can produce up to 320 t/h of asphalt. This is sufficient for supplying the road pavers with a constant flow of material – even in major projects such as motorway construction. An integrated mixed material loading silo in dimensions of 10 to 325 t ensures a sufficient buffer whilst also providing storage capacity for up to seven different asphalt types (recipes). Thanks to the modular system, this can be expanded or retrofitted at any time with one or two secondary towers.

Maximum mobility Because all main components are designed in ISO standard container dimensions, transport by lorry, ship or rail is easy. The strength of the plants is their ability to be transported worldwide and that they can be designed as simply, cost-efficiently and effectively as possible. The powerful plants with fixed options ensure optimum mixture quality. The advantages of the container design of the type ECO asphalt mixing plant from BENNINGHOVEN already became apparent during installation and commissioning, with both being completed in just five weeks. On conventional plants, four to six months can pass before the first vehicles carrying the asphaltic mixture leave for the construction site. The type ECO plant also offers operating companies the highest levels of flexibility: the location can be changed quickly at any time, while logistics costs are low. Dismantling and installation can be carried out easily. ECO plants are quickly ready for operation at new

Leading BENNINGHOVEN recycling technologies

Thanks to the modular system, this can be expanded or retrofitted at any time.

2 t, 3 t or 4 t asphalt – every 45 seconds The TBA 2000, 3000 and 4000 have a 2000, 3000 or 4000 kg mixer and ensure a mixing capacity of 160, 240 or 320 t/h. The systems of this type are particularly robust in structure. This enables the system to be installed even in earthquake zones and to withstand strong wind loads. However, every TBA can be easily transported and quickly erected in another location due to its modularity and prewiring.

Highlights of transportable BENNINGHOVEN system (TBA) • Modular system • Wide performance range • RAP system over 80 % • Large variety of options • Rugged design, therefore resistant to earthquakes and strong wind load

The mixing of recycled asphalt is a top priority when it comes to conserving natural resources. This is just one of many important reasons for the re-use of asphalt – national legislation, the reduction of emissions and increased cost efficiency are also key arguments for utilising the green technology from BENNINGHOVEN. The following technologies can be integrated in TBA plants: • Cold recycling feed systems: Mixer feed – for recycling quotas of up to 30 % Multi-variable feed – for recycling quotas of up to 40 % • Hot recycling feed systems: Parallel drum – for recycling quotas of up to 70 % New: Recycling drum using counterflow action with hot-gas generator – for recycling quotas of up to 80 % • Combination of hot and cold feed systems: The use of hot feed systems pays off in particular for large quantities and for high recycling feed quotas of up to 80 %. An additionally installed cold feed system with a possible feed quota of up to 40 % gives the customer the necessary flexibility. The cold feed system can be used for processing small quantities of up to 2 t, while the hot feed system is used for processing large orders.

Recycling drum using counterflow action with hot-gas generator Operation 1.) The burner burns into the hot-gas generator and intensively heats the circulating air, also using counterflow action 2.) Indirect heating of the RAP material in the recycling drum by the hot air – no flame contact 3.) In the recycling drum, the RAP material is heated gently in counterflow which in turn cools the gases 4.)

NEWS & REPORTS Proven system from the major BA RPP series now also available on the TBA series In hot recycling, the challenge is to heat the recycling material to the optimum application temperature of 160 °C while keeping emissions in the standard range and not burning the contained bitumen – especially as ever stricter standards and limit values will apply in future. BENNINGHOVEN has the answer to this apparent conflict of interests with the hot-gas generator – a solution that is environmentally friendly, future-proof and a secure investment. Here, the recycling material – in addition to the virgin mineral – is heated by an EVO JET burner. However, this takes place indirectly in a recycling drum using counterflow action. Depending on the quality of the recycled material used, even feed quantities of over 90 % are possible.

Energy-efficient, environmentally friendly mixing of recycled asphalt Unlike conventional parallel drums used for recycling, these recycling drums use counterflow action for heating the gas indirectly. Here, the material is conveyed in the opposite direction to the heat source. As a result, the discharge temperature of 160 °C is the same as the application temperature, with the exhaust gas temperature only approximately 100 °C (though above the dew point). This procedure leads to key advantages for the operators of asphalt mixing plants. In classic recycling systems using the parallel flow principle, the temperature is limited to 130 °C by the resulting exhaust gas emissions. However, the exhaust gas temperatures physically exceed this, which leads to increased energy consumption and a greater load on the dust collection system. In order for the asphaltic mixture to reach a temperature of 160 °C, overheated virgin mineral must be conveyed.

Highlights of the BENNINGHOVEN hot-gas generator: • Economical: The recycling feed quota can be significantly increased depending on the quality to over 90 + X %. This offers real added value. • Energy efficient: Total energy required for operation of the plant is reduced. • Environmentally friendly: Using a hot-gas generator means that emissions are significantly below the standard range (complies with TA Luft requirements).

Hot-gas generator – burner partitioning - The burner automatically moves forwards and backwards on its chassis, depending on the operating condition. Afterwards a partitioning element moves in or out. This procedure was developed especially to prevent damage to the burner after shutting off the firing. Without this partitioning, the burner would not be protected from the chimney effect and the resulting hot air rising from the recycling drum. When the burner is restarted, the partitioning element moves out and the entire unit moves into the operating position. (Photos: Benninghoven)

The EVO JET burner can be supplied with different fuels as normal and supplies the thermal energy required for drying and heating the recycling materials. The generated hot air is mixed intensively with the circulating air, also using counterflow action. In doing so, the hydrocarbons (total C) in the exhaust air are almost completely eliminated. The BENNINGHOVEN hot-gas generator thus makes an effective contribution to energy efficiency, cost efficiency and proactive environmental protection.

he new asphalt mixing plants incorporate a great deal of what BENNINGHOVEN has learnt about asphalt production and mixing plants since the 1960s. During this time, the company has developed on a continuous basis and is now one of the global leaders in the field. Combined since summer 2018 with the world’s most state-of-the-art factory for manufacturing asphalt mixing plants, we can offer our customers the best possible solutions when it comes to producing asphalt economically and to the highest standards. Our concept is based on components with modular combination options. Made in Germany! This is an approach that BENNINGHOVEN has followed for over a century. From modest beginnings as a workshop, it has grown into a global player with sites in Mülheim an der Mosel and Wittlich. A further milestone was reached in 2014 with the company’s integration into the WIRTGEN GROUP. The WIRTGEN GROUP has been part of John Deere since the end of 2017. It goes without saying that these developments further increase the strength of BENNINGHOVEN as an employer. This year, the success of our company reached its high point with the opening of the world’s most state-ofthe-art factory for manufacturing asphalt mixing plants in Wittlich.

Keestrack optimizes electric drive technology:

Keestrack N.V. Bilzen | Belgium

From vision to mission

The new “Drop-Off”-supply modules with onboard diesel and generator can be remotely positioned from the crusher (Photos: Keestrack)

eestrack offers today the most versatile range of hybrid and plug-in solutions in mobile processing technology for quarrying and recycling applications. This applies to the complete product range, from screening plants and stockpile conveyors to mobile trackmounted crushing solutions of all relevant technologies and for all production capacities.

Recognize and use benefits As one of the first manufacturers Keestrack recognized the huge saving potentials and operational advantages of electric drives for highly flexible trackmounted mobile processing solutions with transport weights up to 60 tons. In 2012 the first diesel-electric classifier was introduced, followed in 2013 by the first hybrid scalper and the first hybrid Keestrack crushers with electrified conveyors, followed by electric crusher drives. In these plants, powerful generators ensure low engine speed resulting in fuel-saving operations of the onboard diesels. Downstream screening plants or stockpile conveyors can now be fed via external plug-out supplies, which further improves the total fuel consumption of production trains.

engine hours mean less maintenance and downtime, which has a positive impact on total cost of ownership, as well as the higher value retention. And finally: engine problems on a diesel-hydraulic crusher can stop the whole production or job-site, with a plug-in hybrid machine, a total breakdown can be relatively easy avoided by providing an additional external gen-set to ensure the finalisation of the project.

With the plug-in option, to connect to the mains, the Keestrack hybrid “e”-versions further enlarged their operating cost advantage over conventional dieselhydraulic systems. Installed electrical pumps for essential hydraulic consumers (lifting cylinders, track drive, etc.) allow the full-electric operation of today‘s „e“-versions. Compared to conventional diesel-hydraulic systems, energy costs can be reduced up to 80% – the noise levels during emission-free plug-in operation by about 30% according to Keestrack. Replacing hydraulic drives on conveyors, screen shafts, compressors or water pumps by electric motors also avoid long oil piping with leak-prone hose connections. Thermal problems in operations under extreme conditions are eliminated. With significantly lower oil quantities and extended change intervals the smaller hydraulic systems of Keestrack’s “e”-versions not only save the environment but also real money. In full-electric operation, this also applies to lubricants, filters and other wear parts of the onboard diesel. Less

Thanks to their on-board diesels, Keestrack‘s modern „e“-versions remain as flexible and highly mobile as conventional technology without having to add a lot of additional transport weight, ± 1000 kg compared to the respective diesel-hydraulic version. By using high-quality steels and the weight-optimized design, Keestrack hybrids still undercut significantly the transport weights of most diesel-hydraulic competitor models of the same capacity. Even the larger hybrid plants can be transported in one piece, without dismantling. This also contributes to short set-up times. The full integration of all electrical system functions are controlled by the intelligent Keestrack plant control. This includes numerous automated routines (eg. sequential start/stop) and the comprehensive monitoring, with bi-directional transmission of machine and production data, via the satellite-based Keestrack-er system. Replacing hydraulic consumers on the machines – for example with electric exciters for the vibrating feeder on the Keestrack R5 – reduces maintenance intensive hydraulic oil volumes and avoids leak-prone hydraulic piping.

Innovation makes you innovative

Successful offering Today, Keestrack already offers 80% of its total 22 models in six series as diesel-electric hybrid variants, 75% of them as fully electric plug-in systems. Depending on technology, type of application and production capacities, customer demand is quite different, but clearly related to the specific additional investment for the hybrid or all-electric system options. According to Keestrack there is a 10-15 % higher initial investment for stackers and screeners and 15-20 % for large mobile crushers. The faster this additional investment can be amortized the more attractive the „e“option becomes. This is for example the case for quasistationary operations via mains on a recycling yard/ quarry or more generally for large production schemes with energy-intensive machines. Accordingly, the hybrid portion of sold Keestrack models rises in close analogy to machine size and capacity and achieves for example for large classifiers around 40%, while the giant 500 t/h impact crusher R6 is sold to almost 90 % “hybrid” (“rotorby-diesel” + full-electric versions).

The consistent development of electric drive concepts is far more than a mere modification. This is proved by the numerous innovations introduced by Keestrack during this transition. Among others, these include specific plant componentry, such as the company‘s own series of compact wind sifters or the new optionally electric driven neodymium overbelt magnets. Despite a much higher separation capacity their weight is considerably lower, even up to 400 kg less than conventional ferrite magnets and this significantly reduces the transport weight of the diesel-electric machines. Another interesting innovation is the „Drop-Off“ power-supply module Keestrack is offering on its new all large plug-in plants. On-board diesel and generator are combined in a detachable unit, which can be positioned remotely from the machine, far from dust and vibrations during diesel-electric operation and easy to be accessed for control and maintenance. Since the main control with energy management and all electric drives are installed on the chassis, the drop-off modules can be completely dismantled and stored during plug-in operations via mains. The most advanced and futuristic result of its sophisticated „e“-technology is the new track-mounted The patented stacker Keestrack S5 Solar will be presented as latest and most futuristic result of the company’s R&D activities in electric drive concepts. (Photos: Keestrack)

During recent years, Keestrack followed consistently this trend in the development of its product range. Across all crushing technologies and machine sizes existing mobile crusher models have been presented in new „electrified generations“ (eg. jaw crusher B3, impact crusher R5). Completely new models or series have even been developed on a specific diesel-electric plug-in design base (eg. R3, B4 + B7, H4 + H6). Some of these models are only available as “e”-version, as the practical advantages and the high gains in cost efficiency of their diesel-electric/ plug-in drives are so successful, so there is no reason to provide these in conventional diesel-hydraulic drives.

With only 62 tons total weight with all options (51.5 t without final screen) the large cone can be operated economically at various jobsites. This versatility is also the success of the impact crusher R6e as compact and highly mobile „1300“ with double pre-screening and double-deck post-screen module incl. oversize recirculation. Still being also available as dieselhydraulic as well as partially electric with crusher direct drive („rotor-by-diesel“), Keestrack shows the R6e in Munich as fully hybrid plug-in version (439 kW/ 550 kVA). Despite its extensive electrification, including the 970x1300 mm crusher (250 kW), the hydraulic system (2 x 55 kW), almost all conveyor drives and ancillary units, the 62-t-plant can be flexibly dislocated with the optional dolly-system. Particularly sensitive are transport weights for compact all-rounders of the 250 to 300 tph class. Here, Keestrack will display its fully hybrid impact crusher R3e with singledeck post-screen and oversize recirculation (total 32 t), which was introduced last year. Also on show will be the jaw crusher Keestrack B3e with new independent prescreen. The electric-driven double-deck unit (1,6 m² + 1,2 m²) optimizes efficiency and wear of the 1000x600 jaw crusher, still being the largest unit within the 30-tonne class. The electrical equipment of the predominantly dieselhydraulically driven plant includes a 42.5 kVA generator for

all conveyor drives and ancillaries and the 16A plug-out connection for downstream screens or stackers.

Save by combining Compared to conventional diesel-hydraulic units, diesel-electric driven plants directly save up to 40% of fuel. While working in production trains, the attributable fuel consumption may even decrease by 70% when the hybrid screeners are powered directly via the plug-out supply of an upstream or downstream diesel-electric crusher. To fully exploit this potential, Keestrack offers today six models of his double-deck scalpers (250 - 1000 tph) optionally as full hybrid plug-in versions. New to the „e“-programme is the scalper Keestrack K6e: With 8 m³ standard feeder, 4500 x 1800 mm doubledeck screen box (2 x 8.1 m²) the nearly 30-tonne plant produces three fractions with 600 tph and can be adapted to a wide range of materials and applications with a variety of screen media and additional equipment. A full hybrid screen solution with high potential for economical semistationary operation from mains is the Keestrack K5e Flip Flow (approx. 29.5 tonnes). The specially adapted BIVITEC technology in the large double-deck screen box provides a wide range of applications in the economic recycling of residual materials (glass, wood, slag, etc.) or the processing of difficult materials with high basic moisture. The flexible screening equipment also allows the efficient and economical production of minimum grain sizes of <2 mm, handling hot materials (eg slag) or generally the production of large quantities of mineral standard products (up to 450 tph).

• New eccentric roll crusher ERC offers higher efficiency in the processing of hard rock and ore • Unique technology combines compact design with high throughputs • thyssenkrupp to unveil new crusher at Bauma in Munich With its new eccentric roll crusher (ERC) thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions has developed a groundbreaking solution for the primary reduction of hard rock and ore. The new crusher is particularly compact and robust. Its patented design with an integrated screen permits throughputs of up to 8,000 metric tons per hour. Suitable for use both underground and in surface operations, the ERC offers significantly higher efficiency and flexibility than conventional primary crushers in the processing of hard rock. It will make its world debut at the Bauma 2019 show in Munich.

Issue 01 | 2019

Detlef Papajewski, Head of Mineral Processing at the Business Unit Mining Technologies of thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions: “We are constantly seeking new solutions for our customers that improve crusher availability and efficiency and reduce installation and operating costs. With the new ERC we have developed a technology that is the first of its kind. Its innovative design combines the advantages of conventional primary crushers with solutions to their typical disadvantages, such as large height. As a result the ERC can be used in underground and surface mining operations and in quarries to process ore and hard rock more effectively.”

ERC combines compact design with high throughputs The ERC is a completely new crusher type that effectively combines many advantages in one machine: Its height is 20 to 55 percent lower than that of conventional primary crushers for hard rock. This greatly simplifies transportation, installation and maintenance, including underground, and saves costs. Despite its low height, the ERC achieves significantly higher throughputs than conventional crushers. The new series currently includes four models with capacities between 600 and 8,000 tons per hour.

NEWS & REPORTS The new design with a roll mounted eccentrically between the screening and crushing chambers and the large, constant stroke of the crusher allow a very high degree of reduction. The integrated screen further increases the efficiency of the machine. Fines are not guided through the crushing chamber but discharged directly to reduce energy consumption and minimize wear to the crusher elements. An automatic crusher gap adjustment system prevents overload.

Low-vibration machine also offers advantages in mobile use The ERC is suitable for a wide range of applications: With its unique kinematics and innovative screening/ crushing chamber design it reduces hard rock and ore particularly efficiently and economically in underground operations and also helps improve cost efficiency in surface mines and quarries. The symmetrical arrangement of the roll allows the crusher to be balanced with great precision. This significantly reduces machine vibrations and the loads on surrounding structures compared with other primary crushers. That means the ERC is also ideal for use in mobile and semi-mobile crushing systems.

This unique solution for heap leaching and dry tailings stacking combines two proven technologies – the conveyor bridge and the tripper car – in a new way. The lizard decouples the crawler-mounted tripper car from the conveyor bridge, enabling it to be controlled independently of the bridge.

Issue 01 | 2019

lizard reduces costs and maintenance Decoupling the tripper car from the conveyor bridge has several advantages: The transitions between the bridge segments are easier as there is no stress from a traveling tripper car on top of the bridge. As the loads on the bridge sink, the overall construction of the bridge outweighs the additional chassis and structure of the tripper car. This way the product saves weight and costs accordingly. In addition, a larger dump height and longer outreach are possible.

NEWS & REPORTS

“Especially with longer conveyor bridge systems the lizard pays off with lower investment cost and less fatigue issues on the bridge structures,” says Stefan Ebert, Global Product Lifecycle Manager. “Since the tripper car is not traveling on the bridge, the loads for dimensioning the bridge are significantly reduced,” explains Burhan Osmani, engineer at thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions and the inventor of the lizard.

A key advantage of the lizard is its multi-crawler chassis. thyssenkrupp used its expertise in this area to develop a unique solution that improves productivity: A multicrawler chassis with no override control, the so-called “float system”, is attached to the tripper car. The double crawlers with no steering cylinders ensure unrestricted maneuverability in all directions. The system can be attached to any crawler to avoid the large turning circles of conventional gearing systems. “To be able to flexibly control the mechanically independent multiple crawlers is a game changer in mobile mining equipment,” says Paulo Costa, Head of Mining Systems.

Based on more than 200 years of experience we supply tailored, turnkey plants and components for customers in the chemical, fertilizer, cement, mining and steel industries. As a system partner to the automotive sector we develop highly specialized solutions to meet the individual requirements of our customers. Some 16,000 employees around the world form a global network with a technology portfolio that guarantees maximum productivity and costefficiency.

The float gearing system allows the lizard to be operated flexibly: When a stacking row is completed, the tripper car is at either the front or rear end of the bridge. Before moving to the next stacking row, the tripper car has to turn its crawlers through 90 degrees in the direction of bridge movement without impacting the performance of the system. In this way the tripper car and the stacking bridge move backwards or forwards as one stacking system depending on the stacking plan.

• Modular design allows production of gravel, chippings and sand with one machine • Consistent product qualiy with high cubicity and significantly reduced downtimes for maintenance • Easy to integrate into existing equipment variopactor is a newly developed reversible impact crusher from thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions. The name speaks for itself: With its modular design, the variopactor can be adapted to a wide variety of applications. Using different rotors, aprons, and the optional grinding path, it can produce gravel, chippings or sand. In addition to its versatility, the variopactor offers consistent product quality with high cubicity and significantly reduced downtime for maintenance. Dr. Armin Greune, Head of Standard Machines in the Business Unit Mining Technologies of thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions: “The variopactor is designed for use in small and mediumsize quarries and meets our customers’

key requirements: problem-free, cost-efficient production with reduced downtime.” The housing, rotor, and entire crushing chamber of the variopactor are symmetrical, so the rotor can be operated in both directions and the direction of rotation can be changed at any time. Using the rotor in both directions ensures the blow bars always operate with a sharp edge and minimizes the need to replace or turn the blow bar. The variopactor is maintenancefriendly; all wear parts are easily accessible and can be replaced quickly.

www.advanced-mining.com

NEWS & REPORTS During the crushing process, the blow bars are subjected to enormous stresses. For the first time thyssenkrupp is offering the option of Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) blow bars with high-carbide inlays. Depending on application and customer requirements, the matrix material for the MMC blow bars can be made from different steel alloys. The high-carbide inlays are cast into the matrix material in the main wear zone along the edge of the blow bars, where most of the crushing work takes place. These blow bars are a new application for this material, which has been used for years to maximize the service life of hammers for hammer crushers as well as sizer and roll crusher teeth. Compared with traditional high-carbon chromium steel, it also significantly increases the service life of the blow bars. One of the variopactor’s key strengths is its modular design. All parameters influencing the product quality, such as rotor speed and apron or grinding path position, can be flexibly adapted to the individual requirements of customers in the minerals industry. With the variopactor’s hydraulic gap adjustment system, the aprons and grinding paths can be repositioned at the push of a button so the machine can quickly be set up for different product requirements.

Advantages of the new variopactor at a glance: • Production of gravel, chippings and sand with one machine • Crushing of medium-hard to hard rock • Consistent product quality with high cubicity • Increased service life of blow bars thanks to use of Metal Matrix Composite • Good accessibility from both sides and easy-to-fit wear parts • ignificantly reduced downtime for maintenance • Modular design: Use of different rotors, aprons and grinding paths • Simple adjustment of aprons and grinding paths at push of button • Easy to integrate into existing equipment

he current construction boom cannot be separated from the demand for resourceefficient sustainability. At the same time, the requirements for quality and cost effectiveness are constantly increasing. Both private and public clients request the provision of premium-quality construction materials. Only a company that can offer highly-sophisticated plants will be competitive in future markets. SBM has recognized the signs of the times and will present its latest technology at bauma 2019 in Munich.

Staying ahead of the demands Currently, Switzerland ranks among the countries with the most demanding specifications. Using 70 % recycling material is the defined objective for public contracts there. Already in 2018, SBM supplied a turn-key plant that even surpasses this challenging aim in practical operation to a client in neighbouring Liechtenstein. The company Wilhelm BĂźchel AG completely replaces 120,000 tons of raw gravel formerly annually purchased elsewhere by recycling material gained from excavated soil and mixed demolition material hanks to the SBM recycling plant.

Issue 01 | 2019

The secondary raw gravel thus gained can be completely used to produce high-quality construction concrete. This plant called BUREMA (BUechel-Recycling-MAchine) is therefore a well-known quantum leap concerning futureoriented sustainability and has caused a media sensation. In constructing BUREMA, the SBM engineers managed to create a complex and tailor-made unit ensuring highlyefficient utilisation of production space, energy and process resources. As the precision and efficiency of the washing and separating processes as well as their positioning in the whole process are co-ordinated in such a perfect way, mineral end products with the highest purity grade are produced in a largely completely automated

BAUER Maschinen Group presents stateof-the-art technology for specialist foundation engineering

hether it is drilling, diaphragm wall, piling or mixing plant technology, visitors to the Bauma booth FN 520 (open-air area north) of the BAUER Maschinen Group will once again experience the entire range of specialist foundation technology in April. â&#x20AC;&#x17E;As we are a global player with Bavarian roots, Bauma in Munich is of course always a very special highlight,â&#x20AC;&#x153; explains Dr. Ruediger Kaub, Managing Director of BAUER Maschinen GmbH. In addition to the core range of Bauer rotary drilling rigs, the MC series of duty-cycle cranes, diaphragm wall technology with cutters and grabs, the subsidiaries Klemm, Prakla, Hausherr, RTG, ABS Trenchless and MAT will also be showing off their equipment and systems. In addition, Bauer is celebrating a special anniversary in 2019. Exactly 50 years ago, in 1969, Bauer began to manufacture own machines and equipment and presented the first UBW 01 hydraulic universal drilling rig. In 1976, the development of the BG 7 followed, which revolutionized cased large diameter drilling. Other milestones, to name just a few, were the first Bauer BC 30 cutter in 1984, the successful launch of MC duty-cycle cranes in 2007 or the development of EEP Energy Efficient Power technology, which set a new standard in terms of efficiency.

NEWS & REPORTS Bauer PremiumLine rotary drilling rigs

for automated and fully supervised high-performance operation of the Kelly bar.

In order to be flexibly prepared for the demands of the market, in 2011, BAUER Maschinen GmbH introduced the two drilling rig lines ValueLine and PremiumLine. While the PremiumLine machines focus not only on high-tech Kelly drilling but also on multifunctional applications for a wide range of challenges in specialist foundation engineering, the ValueLine is optimized for Kelly drilling.

With the BG 45 Bauer is presenting a very proven and powerful PremiumLine machine from the upper-level V-series. The machine is equipped with an advanced drilling system for creating deep, full displacement piles with the LostBit method. The BS 95 base carrier is perfectly prepared with a special equipment package.

At the Bauma 2019, Bauer will be presenting its core range of machines for specialist foundation engineering with three PremiumLine heavy-duty rotary drilling rigs – BG 23 H, BG 33 and BG 45 will demonstrate the multifunctional character of this rig series. Equipped with various attachments and tools, they show a small selection of possible applications using PremiumLine rigs. On all machines, tried-and-tested, performanceenhancing and, at the same time, consumption-reducing improvements were implemented in heavy-duty practical use. All machines are equipped with Bauer‘s award-winning Energy Efficient Power technology EEP.

Numerous safety innovations The BG 23 H and BG 33 will be shown on the new base carriers BT 65 and BT 85 of the latest generation, with significant safety innovations. These base carriers now also have an integrated service platform for easy, convenient and secure access for maintenance work. The practical service platform can be pulled out like a drawer, so the motor paneling automatically becomes the fall protection.

Bauer ValueLine rotary drilling rigs As „specialists“ for Kelly drilling, Bauer‘s ValueLine machines are reduced to the bare essentials. In 2018, Bauer launched the BG 15 H, a completely new ValueLine rig that makes a clear statement in terms of functionality while offering all the benefits for handling the challenges on small construction sites. With this new rig generation, Bauer also continues to rely on the 186 kW Caterpillar diesel engines for strong performance and low fuel consumption. The optimally adjusted hydraulic system has already proven itself in practical deployment and has a positive impact on fuel consumption. The BAUER BG 15 H is available in two different configurations and is, therefore, extremely flexible and versatile. The standard model, for example, not only offers a drilling depth of 32 m but also the option of „drilling under the mast.“ In addition, the upgraded version provides customers with the option of a drilling depth of up to 44 m and the CFA method. The BAUER BG 15 H is available in two different configurations (Photos: BAUER Gruppe)

The PremiumLine portfolio will be completed by the BG 23 H, equipped with H-kinematics. At the exhibition, the machine will be shown with an advanced continuous flight auger (CFA) system. The BG 33 rotary drilling rig is the successor to the bestsellers BG 28 and BG 30 and is available again for the worldwide markets through the use of CAT engines with the latest exhaust gas purification technology. The machine is equipped with the extremely robust Vkinematics and places the focus on heavy-duty casing work at the Bauma. Like all PremiumLine V-series rigs, this machine is now equipped with a single-ply piggyback winch, and, in conjunction with the new adaptive Kelly speed assistant, is perfectly prepared

An absolute highlight is the BT 50 base carrier, completely redesigned and -manufactured by Bauer, which now offers a whole range of benefits even for small machines. The integrated service platform allows easy access to all maintenance and service points in the upper carriage and, at the same time, meets the highest standards in terms of occupational safety. Combined with a transport width of just 2.5 m, this system is unique. Thanks to a new operating concept, all essential work functions can be controlled via joystick. Displays, operational controls and the air-sprung operator seat form an ergonomic unit. But the BG 15 H also brings a new level of comfort to servicing: a very deep center tunnel ensures a transport height of just 3.3 m and also serves as a service tunnel. This means that all maintenance and service points can be accessed conveniently from both sides. In addition to the BG 15 H, the BAUER Maschinen Group is also presenting a completely new ValueLine rig at Bauma 2019 – so visitors can look forward to a true world premiere.

Duty-cycle cranes and diaphragm wall technology Over the last few years, the MC duty-cycle crane series have solidified their territory in the Bauer product portfolio and are the preferred choice for many specialist foundation methods which require a duty-cycle crane as base machine. In particular, the development of the new mid-size platform

Issue 01 | 2019

has provided excellent conditions for a broader expansion beyond exclusively foundation engineering applications. This applies primarily to traditional duty-cycle crane equipment, such as mechanical and hydraulic grabs, vibrators of various designs, but also the use of pounders in automated soil compaction. Especially the robustness of the MCs is outstanding: The cranes are designed to withstand the high dynamic loads typical for specialist foundation engineering. As a result, they are generally ideal for other demanding operations. This is ensured by the robust steel construction, the flexible operating functionality and the use of high-quality components. An attraction at the Bauer booth will be a model construction site for diaphragm wall technology. A BC trench cutter will be shown on an MC 96 duty-cycle crane – together with a guide wall. The MC 96 has been very popular in the 130 t class for many years as a reliable machine designed to suit construction site environments. The product range of the medium-sized duty-cycle cranes will be supplemented by the MC 86 as a 110 t duty-cycle crane and, most recently, the MC 76 in the 90 t category on the basis of the identical upper carriage platform. Another outstanding characteristic are the MC‘s safety and environmental features, some of which are available only from Bauer, such as the personal safety system for the boom walkway, monitored rope anchorage or the noise protection kit. These provide practical solutions for improving safety levels on construction sites and help to improve the environmental sustainability of large-scale duty-cycle cranes. In addition, further developments have been carried out with regard to control technology, digitization, EEP, multi-remote control and the operator‘s cab. In addition to the BAUER MC 96, a diaphragm wall grab will be „working“ on a GB 50 base machine at the Bauer booth, equipped with a HDSG 80 system integrated into a boom for hoisting the hydraulic hoses and a DHG V diaphragm wall grab. The base machine has a continuous CAN connection in the grab with online data transmission. This allows for the use of special features, such as the display of the shovel position, the gyrocompass or the flaps

Bauer’s Data Management Software b-project nominated for the Bauma Innovation Award 2019

igitalization is constantly gaining speed and offers great potential in a wide range of fields. At BAUER Spezialtiefbau GmbH, digitalization is regarded as a key tool in the context of BIM (Building Information Modeling). As the majority of specialist foundation work is performed underground and can therefore not be inspected visually, the quality is largely assessed using construction and material test data. This documentation task and management of information required by the applicable standard represent a considerable workload for construction site staff. In this respect, BAUER Spezialtiefbau GmbH records all relevant construction data systematically and digitally, networks it in a targeted manner and analyzes it automatically. Against the backdrop of this „digital construction site“, the data management software bproject was developed and has now been nominated for the Bauma Innovation Award 2019 in the Construction Work/ Construction Method/Construction Process Category. „The b-project software is a central tool for digitally collecting, linking and analyzing all relevant data when executing a project,“ says Florian Bauer, member of the Management Board at BAUER AG and responsible for

„The digital equipment data arising from our drilling rigs form the basis of the construction reports generated in b-project,“ explains Prof. Dr. Sebastian Bauer, Managing Director of BAUER Maschinen GmbH. This actual construction data is automatically fed back into the quality documentation and performance report, thereby representing central interface points in the system. „The design data from planning can be linked with the actual data from construction“, Florian Bauer continues. This automated approach reduces the work involved in documentation and testing substantially and facilitates a standardized, automated and effective optimization process for the construction site. „The software also offers a wide range of options in terms of visualization, from evaluations in table form or graphical evaluations as a 3D model.”

By providing evaluations for process control, process optimization and invoicing, b-project will make it possible to digitally capture and represent almost the entire construction sequence in the future. Florian Bauer: „Our aim for b-project is to reduce the work involved in recording, linking and analyzing the various data so that we can identify possible optimization measures quickly and reliably. An innovative approach for the projects of the future.“

ichuan Yadong Cement Co, Ltd. in Pengzhou, China, has been relying on a 12.5 km overland conveyor from BEUMER Group in order to convey limestone from their quarry to their silo. When constructed in 2009 it was the longest belt conveying system in BEUMER history (BEUMER installed a longer system in 2016). The troughed belt conveyor runs through hilly terrain and nature reserves, over streams and unstable ground. The second project includes two additional overland conveyors, with an overall length of 13.7 kilometres, transporting limestone to the cement plant. Unlike the first project, the task here was to build the conveyor across inhabited areas. Noise emission limitations set forth by the government also needed to be considered. A traditional Chinese proverb says that the roads in Sichuan are hard, harder than climbing to heaven. Depending on the destination, there are rivers and valleys to be crossed and mountains to overcome. The southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan is the source of the majority of different ores in the country, such as titan, lithium and silver and plays a major role economically.

Cement Group received approval from the Chinese government to use an abandoned railway to transport the limestone. Halfway through finishing the plant however, the government decided to build a new dam. The area intended for the transport was to be flooded, which would have changed the project conditions considerably: roads would be flooded and the trucks would have to take significant detours. Asia Cement Group was also planning on building two additional kiln lines at this location. It was determined, as a time and cost efficient alternative, to install a troughed belt conveyor able to navigate horizontal and vertical curves. For this, the company turned to BEUMER Group. For many years now, Asia Cement has been relying on the system supplier‘s expertise and are currently operating several of its bucket elevators.

speed of four meters per second. „Compared to other conveying solutions, the open troughed belt conveyors are suitable for higher throughputs. Horizontal as well as vertical curve radii are possible,“ explains Dr. Echelmeyer. They can be adapted to the specific task and topography. Using BEUMER calculation programs, we can precisely calculate the static and dynamic tractive forces of the belt during the development phase of the system. This is a prerequisite for the safe dimensioning of horizontal curves. The type of drive technology and conveyor belts needed are based on these calculations. This ensures longevity of the entire system.

Knowing what the customer wants BEUMER Group took over the mechanical and electrical engineering and supplied the core components for the overland conveyor and monitored and commissioned its installation. The advantage: The Chinese subsidiary BEUMER Machinery Shanghai can be reached easily and deployed quickly to site. „Our colleagues were able to work closely with the customer. They know the specific local customs, speak the language and are familiar with the particular market and customer requirements,“ reports Dr. Andreas Echelmeyer, Director of Conveying and Loading Systems at BEUMER Group. In May 2006, Asia Cement Group awarded the contract for the 12.5 km long system. The overland conveyor can reach a mass flow of 1,500 tons per hour and a conveying The troughed belt conveyor not only runs through rough terrain and over instable ground (Photos: BEUMER Group GmbH & Co.

Mountains, soft grounds and extreme heights The terrain is hilly and covered with dense bamboo forest, parts of which are listed as nature reserve. For this reason, the government did not approve a service route nor deforestation. The ground also presented a major challenge for the BEUMER Group engineers: „The ground is unstable due to previous coal mining. In other areas, the ground consists mostly of granite that could only be partially removed,“ explains Dr. Echelmeyer. Another section of 1.5 kilometres had to be guided across a river. These framework conditions contributed to the fact that 90 percent of the system was installed manually on site. As it was impossible for trucks to transport the components, they were carried by mules, one part at a time, to the place of installation. The route of the overland conveyor was coordinated between BEUMER Group and the cement manufacturer. The system supplier calculated the tractive forces of the belt considering the eight horizontal curves with radii of 1,000 to 5,000 metres. The routing was checked for its feasibility on site. The complete route was checked by employees on foot, passing through rough terrain, in order to reliably check the predefined positions for the 460 supports for their suitability directly on site. Whenever technically possible, the routing

of the conveyor was adapted to the topography. Height differences of up to 100 metres had to be overcome within shortest distances, so several sections were equipped with bridges of up to 55 metres. One section was realised with a 130 metre long tunnel. In close cooperation with the customer, BEUMER Group designed the overland conveyor and the bridges. The system supplier developed, built and supplied the core components for the drive and take-up station as well as the belt of an overall length of 25 kilometres, the idlers and the drive technology. Since February 2009, the overland conveyor has been transporting bulk material from the quarry to the bulk loading system. Since commissioning of the first section, the mass flow of the conveyor was increased in two steps. Today, the system conveys a mass flow of 2,200 tons per hour at a conveying speed of 4.5 metres per second.

The longest belt conveyor in company history In July 2013, Asia Cement contracted BEUMER Group again for an additional, efficient overland conveyor to replace the trucks transporting the limestone from the bulk loading system to the cement plant. A mass flow of 2,200 tons of limestone per hour was necessary to meet the plant‘s requirements. For this project, the first conveyor was to be customised to these requirements. „We were planning a second troughed belt conveyor with an overall length of 13.7 kilometres,“ says Dr. Echelmeyer. This is the longest system in the history of BEUMER.

For the whole project, BEUMER Group was able to ensure that the limestone is transported safely and quietly, without disturbing the residents or disrupting the surrounding nature (Photos: BEUMER Group GmbH & Co. KG)

NEWS & REPORTS Projects of that size are often unpredictable, so flexibility was needed from the engineers. During the planning phase, the cement manufacturer acquired another plant in Lanfeng, approximately ten kilometres away. „Now we had to design the system so that both plants could be supplied with limestone,“ explains Dr. Echelmeyer. The team had to divide the overland conveyor in two parts. After 5.4 kilometres, an additional conveyor can be added to be fed to Lanfeng in the future. In February 2015, the system supplier started with the installation of the conveyor frame. Both overland conveyors have four horizontal curves with radii of 1,200, 1,500 and 1,800 metres. „We provided the engineering and the individual parts such as pulleys, motors, drive and control technology and the entire automation,“ describes Dr. Echelmeyer. The installation was monitored by a BEUMER Group supervisor and the wiring of the system was supported by a BEUMER electrical engineer. The system supplier was also in charge of the commissioning in May 2016. The troughed belt conveyor is now supplying three kiln lines, a fourth line is planned.

Reaching the destination - no longer through rough terrain, and quiet The requirements were different for the two projects: the challenges for the first project were the hilly terrain, instable grounds and crossing through conservation areas and over waterways, for the second project the system had to be built crossing through populated areas. The Chinese government has set out exact regulations on the noise emission levels so that the residents would not be impacted. „We had to minimize the noise to an extremely low level,“ describes Dr. Echelmeyer. The system supplier took several constructive measures in order to reduce the noise emissions. „We used noise-reducing idlers and customised protective covers on the drive stations,“ explains Dr. Echelmeyer. In collaboration with the operator, BEUMER Group optimised the conveyor frame and the completely enclosed conveyor bridge.

BEUMER Group offers robust belt apron conveyors:

Economic transportation of cement clinker

The slim and weight-reduced design of the GSZF reduces the costs for steel structure and freight. The operator was able reduce costs considerably (Photos: BEUMER Group GmbH & Co. KG)

obust apron conveyors (SZFs) are used in cement plants to transport clinker safely and economically from the kiln cooling system to the silos. BEUMER Group is the only manufacturer who offers a special variant, the belt apron conveyor (GSZF): Using a belt instead of a chain as traction element allows higher speeds and a slimmer design while still delivering the same level of performance. The GSZF is therefore particularly suitable for modernisations. In general, the clinker comes out of the cooler at 80 degrees plus ambient temperature. But during the process, a so-called kiln flash can occur caused by a raw meal flash from the preheater tower or by caked clinker coming off the kiln: Within a few seconds several tons of raw meal or clinker shoot through the cooler. The material to be conveyed cannot cool down sufficiently and reaches the conveyor at temperatures of 500 to 800 degrees Celsius. With its apron conveyors, BEUMER Group provides robust and reliable solutions. The specific design of the cells allows safe, low-friction transportation of any hot material. Sealed and overlapping side walls and bottom plates in the cells prevent the clinker from exiting and minimise the escape of dust. The traction element in this conveyor is usually a single or double strand sprocket chain. The system supplier is the only manufacturer on the market who offers apron conveyors with the tried and

tested BEUMER steel wire belts from the bucket elevator technology instead of a chain as traction element. Here the cells are attached to the long-lasting, steel-wire reinforced belt in a way so that the heat of the clinker in the steel cells is not transferred to the belt. Partition plates are attached in the feeding area below the cooler and can be easily removed for maintenance, protecting the belt against hot clinker in case of a kiln flash. One decisive advantage of the belt apron conveyor: with speeds of 0.6 metres per second, it can reach double the conveying speed compared to apron conveyors with a chain. This makes it perfect for retrofitting and modernisations. If

NEWS & REPORTS operators want to increase the kiln capacity for example, they can replace an existing chain apron conveyor with a belt version of the same size â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this means double the capacity without having to make any changes to the steel structure or the conveyor bridge. The cement plants also benefit from a new construction application: The thinner, lighter design of the GSZF reduces costs for steel structure and freight. Furthermore, the decreased net weight lowers the static and dynamic loads which affect the clinker silo and foundations for example. A new construction project can be designed for a smaller load and is therefore more cost-effective to build. The lightweight design also lowers operational costs.

Quiet, low in maintenance, reliable The entire belt lies with its surface on the drive and return pulley which avoids the unwanted polygon effects caused by the chain. The particularly smooth running of the machine also reduces noise emissions considerably. The noise is less than half as loud as conventional SZFs with chains, which is advantageous for both the employees and the environment. The use of the durable BEUMER steel wire belt lowers the maintenance costs, and extends maintenance intervals. Chains can break, if preventive maintenance is not performed properly, which will lead to the conveyor collapsing. The rubber of the steel wire belt only becomes brittle with age, but it would never completely break. Lubrication is also not required for the belt, whereas used frequently on a chain, if for no other reason than to reduce noise levels. Grease and oil are not only a cost factor, but also detrimental to the environment and the conveyor. The clinker dust gets stuck on it and settles in the chain links, which accelerates the wear and tear.

Workability & Reliability

Safety First

Work modes include the well-known Power and Economy modes, and the PC1250-11 also benefits from the new “Power plus” (P+) mode, which allows the operator to make full use of the increased engine power to achieve up to 8% higher production than with a PC1250-8 in P mode. The Heavy lift and Swing Priority functions are still available, as on the previous model.

The PC1250-11 raises the bar when it comes to standard safety equipment. The operator‘s cab conforms to OPG top guard level 2 (ISO 10262) for falling objects. It has a high shock-absorption capability, excellent impact resistance and an increased sound absorbing capability. Derived from mining excavators, a new hydraulically-operated 45° retractable stairway enables safe access to the machine.

A two-mode setting for the boom lets the operator choose between smooth operation for gathering material, and maximum power for more effective excavating. The shockless boom control makes operations smoother, and reduces both stress on the machine and operator fatigue. Thanks to a large cross-sectional structure using high tensile steel with thick plate and partition walls, the boom and arm are long-lasting and resistant to bending and torsional stress. The undercarriage is strengthened, for excellent reliability and durability when working on rocky ground. Sturdy guards shield the travel motors and piping against damage.

NEWS & REPORTS The HB215LC-3‘s EU Stage IV certified Komatsu SAA4D107E-3 engine offers 110 kW/ 148 HP. A Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system using AdBlue® reduces NOx emissions to meet regulations. Komatsu’s unique hybrid system uses an electric swing motor/generator. The hydraulic power normally needed by the swing system is instead available to power the boom, arm and bucket, helping to improve production. The energy from swing deceleration, which would normally go unused, is captured and stored in an ultra-capacitor for use by the electric swing motor or engine mounted motor/generator to assist engine acceleration.

Operator environment The new viscous fan clutch system controls optimal fan speed, reduces fuel consumption and contributes to lower in-cab noise. A comfortable work environment further helps operators maximise productivity. The proportional control joysticks, which are standard, allow precise operation of attachments with comfort and ease. With the addition of the new Neutral Detection System, the risk of inadvertent operation is reduced. The ROPS certified cab, specifically designed for hydraulic excavators, gains strength from a reinforced box structure. The cab is mounted on viscous isolation dampers for low vibration levels. A standard heated high back air suspension seat comes with newly designed fully adjustable armrests for improved comfort. In addition to the standard radio, external devices can play music through the cab speakers thanks to an auxiliary input. The

cab also has the benefit of two 12-volt power ports for the operator’s convenience. A high-resolution 7” LCD widescreen colour monitor features enhanced capabilities and displays information in 26 languages for global support. The operator can easily select up to six working modes to match machine performance to the application. Komatsu’s new attachment control is fully integrated in the monitor panel. With 15 pre-settings of tool oil flow and pressure the versatility of the machine is increased.

NEWS & REPORTS With 20.5 standard tyres, the smallest Bell 6x6 model is suited as a flexible road-going hauler in most Scandinavian countries. (Photos: Nils Holm)

First launched two years ago in the United Kingdom, the Bell B20E LGP is based on the small B20 trucks, which have been successful in the domestic African markets for more than three decades. These 6x4 trucks with a payload of 18.0 tonnes are used in medium sized earth moving and civil engineering projects as well as a base for numerous customised solutions, most notably in forestry and agriculture. This base machine has been tweaked for worldwide distribution in extremely muddy or soft, sandy underfoot conditions. The Bell B20E LGP has three driven axles and extra wide 800/45 R30.5 tyres (with 20.5R25 available as an option). The power of the MercedesBenz/MTU (OM 924LA/4R 1000) in-line four-cylinder engine has been raised to 170 kW, an Allison six-speed automatic transmission provides an integrated retarder while the front and centre axles feature encapsulated wet brakes. All other equipment meets the E-series’ high standards, including the spacious Bell cab, standard onboard-weighing (OBW) and numerous driving and loading assistants.

There has been impressive market acceptance in the UK, where the Bell B20E LGP has emerged as a highly specialised rental machine in addition to Bell Equipment’s more traditional customers. This was followed by a successful launch in the US market. More recently, demand from mainland Europe – particularly Scandinavian countries where the B20E with 20.5 tyres is road legal – has resulted in Bell Equipment relocating production of the B20E LGP to its European assembly plant in Eisenach, Germany in autumn 2018. Seventeen years since its premiere in 2002, the Bell B50E remains the only 6x6 fifty tonner in the market. „The introduction of our own and other 60t Articulated Dump Trucks definitely raised awareness of larger ADTs and the result is increased customer interest in the B50E,“ comments Tristan du Pisanie, Bell Equipment ADT Marketing Manager. „With its superior power-to-weight ratio and the lowest ground pressure available in the 50 to 60 ton class, it remains the ultimate solution for high production and economical earthmoving in rough terrain.“ This applies to both heavy earthmoving in large infrastructure projects as well as mining or quarrying in extreme weather conditions or difficult underfoot conditions, „Crucial in earthmoving is choosing the right equipment for the job to ensure availability of all machines,

and their productivity, even under widely varying conditions. As early as the project evaluation phase, many customers recognise that the B50E can be smoothly integrated into existing hauling schemes in terms of volume, payload and necessary track maintenance. In direct ‘cost per ton’ analyses, the higher payload gives it an immediate advantage over 40-ton ADTs. This is combined with low fuel consumption, a traditional strength of Bell ADTs to give a great result for our customers. The demand in the mining sector continues unabated and where very soft underfoot conditions mean that our B60E 4x4 is less suited, we’re able to offer a reliable and economical solution with the proven B50E.”

Updates and Upgrades In Munich, Bell Equipment will update the market on the transition of its truck technology from emission level EU Stage IV/Tier 4f to meet the new EU Stage V regulations that became effective at the beginning of 2019. This impacts engines from long-time Bell partners MercedesBenz/MTU. These engines complied with EU Stage IV in combining integrated cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) adding urea (AdBlue). The new after-treatment process now adds a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The technology was developed by Mercedes-Benz in the OM93x/47x series for the introduction of the Euro 6 on-road truck emission standard (2014) and optimised

NEWS & REPORTS „As an OEM, both Mercedes Benz and MTU kept us informed of the development as well as listened to our needs. This means that we could already factor in the present concept during the design of our E-series. This has ensured a reliable and, above all, economic upgrade,“ says Tristan du Pisanie. „The power characteristics of the engines have remained unchanged while on the fuel consumption side, Mercedes Benz have tested a 3% improvement. Ease of maintenance is ensured by a comprehensive integration between the Mercedes Benz / MTU and Bell electronics as well as by good access for all serviceable items.“ The other big change occurs on the high-volume model Bell B30E, which includes the introduction of the new Allison 3400 XFE transmission (6F / 1R). “The transmission has closer and more evenly spaced gear ratios to ensure the better use of power and torque even at low engine speeds for further fuel savings. The transmission retarder will be replaced by the automatic retarder function of the wet brakes, which features automatic downhill speed control found on the larger Bell trucks as well as the automatic Hill Hold feature. With Hill Hold the brakes are automatically applied if the operator takes his foot off the accelerator pedal while driving up an incline to prevent the truck from rolling backwards. When the accelerator is activated again the brakes are released when there is enough engine torque to pull away smoothly. Every customer that I have shown the Hill Hold feature to, gets out of the truck amazed,” says Tristan du Pisanie. Separate circuits for brake and axle oils, with efficient cooling and filtering, allow the use of the optimal oil for each function, ensuring higher lubrication/braking performance with less maintenance.

Global customer support In Munich, customers from around the world will be informed about the latest developments in Bell Equipment’s after-market services. This includes new features of the satellite-based fleet management system Fleetm@ tic® (which celebrates its 10th anniversary), financing programmes and new repair and maintenance offerings that can be tailor-made for each type of application and customer profile. Bell Equipment will also focus on its latest investments in its worldwide parts logistics. The new European Logistics Centre (ELC) opened in Alsfeld, Germany in September 2017 and the establishment of its American counterpart, the American Logistics Centre (ALC) in North Carolina in mid2018 form important steps to support Bell Equipment’s fastgrowing Northern Hemisphere markets. Both new bases improve regional customer and dealer support through best parts availability while also optimising worldwide procurement in collaboration with the Bell Global Logistics Centre (GLC) in Johannesburg, South Africa. The next step will be the opening of the 12 000 m² factory extension at the group’s European ADT assembly facility in Kindel-Eisenach in mid-2019. This will cover bin fabrication and bonnet assembly and will optimise transport logistics and general production efficiencies to further reduce lead times and allow greater flexibility regarding customer needs.

World premiere Bell B45E 4x4:

Fine-tuning Efficiency

The new B45E 4x4 introduces the conceptual advantages of Bell Equipment’s twoaxle ADT to the 40-tonne payload class (Photos: Bell Equipment)

ith the launch of the new Bell B45E 4x4 at bauma, Bell Equipment will add a new model to its range of articulated 4x4 two-axle ADTs. Similar to the sixty-tonner B60E and the smaller Bell B30E 4x4, the new truck is configured to provide a highly efficient and cost-effective transport solution for niche applications in the mining and construction industry. With the front half of the truck being essentially the same as its 6x6 counterpart, the Bell B45E 4x4 is derived from proven high-volume technology and decades of experience. Powering the truck is a 390 kW / 2 460 Nm inline six-cylinder engine from Mercedes Benz, optimised for off-highway use by MTU. This, combined with the Allison seven-speed automatic transmission, contributes to outstanding driving performance while delivering the low fuel consumption typical of Bell ADTs. Wet brakes on both axles ensure safe deceleration and work in conjunction with the Jacobs Engine Brake®, to provide the multistage programmable automatic retardation. The standard Bell cab is spacious, offering great visibility and comfort while ensuring safety and productivity. This is achieved through a comprehensive package of productivity, safety and ease-of-operation features, based on real-time data collection by the truck’s sensors (on-board weighing, pitch/roll sensor, etc.).

Issue 01 | 2019

In designing the rear chassis and the 25 m³ bin, the designers followed the design of the Bell 4x4 flagship, the B60E which has been optimised for tough mining applications. A rigidly mounted 55-t-axle supplied by German manufacturer Kessler with 21.00R35 twin tyres ensures a robust solution with a nominal payload of 41.0 tonnes. At the front the truck rolls on 775 / 65R29 tyres that boast high load carrying capacities and high lateral stability, an essential characteristic for a machine intended for challenging underfoot conditions. To improve ride comfort, the B45E 4x4 can optionally be equipped with the Bell „Comfort Ride“ adaptive front suspension system. Like the Bell B60E, the B45E 4x4 bin concept is along the lines of a rigid dump truck rock bin with bottom-mounted telescopic tip cylinders. Thanks to its wide geometry and flat-bottomed floor, the 41-tonner fits in well with typical quarry loading equipment and offers better filling characteristics than the longer 6x6 ADT bins of the same

volume. When carrying sticky material such as clay, optional body heating helps to minimise carry-back when tipping. Additionally, Bell Equipment has found that their 4x4 bin configuration, which doesn’t have the traditional ADT dovetail, is considerably better at minimising carry-back than their 6x6 counterparts. With a fully programmable maximum tipping angle of up to 55° relative to horizontal, the short bin body reaches a tipping height of only 6 394 mm, which can be an advantage when operating with overhead structures (for example hoppers and crushers).

Flexible Allrounder

a number of competitors having dropped 40t rigid dump trucks from their range, many customers in Europe are continuing to work with rigid trucks in the 40-ton class. „With comparable performance to rigid dump trucks on well-tended, dry underfoot conditions, the two-axle articulated trucks score in all-weather conditions when the haul roads deteriorate or become slippery. Additionally, the loading site is often a challenging environment to negotiate and undulations are common. The all-wheel drive and oscillation joint configuration are the reasons for this and they also provide for safer machine operation. This means that the machine is also suited to stripping or overburden work, which provides higher utilisation and improved return of investment.“

„Thanks to its high capacity and superior productivity, the Bell B60E can perform a supporting or primary production role in many large opencast mining and quarrying operations around the world. However, we see other target applications for the B45E 4x4,“ said Tristan du Pisanie, Bell Equipment’s ADT Marketing Manager. „These include small to medium-sized mining or quarrying operations with lower production tonnage as well as larger sites with difficult underfoot conditions. Finally, there could be operations requiring selective mining in very specific areas as a top-up on their main production volumes.” Despite The Bell B45E 4x4 is based on the concept of the larger B60E, which successfully performs in opencast mining and quarrying applications worldwide (Photos: Bell Equipment)

NEWS & REPORTS For today‘s quarry operations, with lower maximum speeds and shorter hauls, Bell 4x4s offer a more economical drive concept compared to 4x2 rigid trucks that are designed for high top speeds over long distances. „The lower fuel consumption has a direct effect on the operational costs. Another very important factor in this regard is tyre wear,“ said Tristan du Pisanie. „After several thousand operating hours, in direct comparison with 4x2 rigid trucks of the same size, operators reported a 65% lower wear on the rear twin tyres of the Bell B60E. Here again, the all-wheel drive and the consistent traction on each wheel ensured by the oscillation joint seems to be the difference.“

The Bell B45E 4x4 will enter the market in April 2019 following its launch at Bauma. Like all Bell 4x4s, the trucks will be produced in Bell Equipment’s main factory in Richards Bay, South Africa with the first machines planned for delivery early this summer.

With regard to tyre wear on hard and abrasive haul roads, the two-axle ADT concept offers further advantages over conventional 6x6 trucks. The shorter rear chassis means 4x4s are more manoeuvrable than comparable three-axle trucks, whose middle and rear tyres tend to scuff around tight bends. This increased wear results in higher tyre and route maintenance costs as the scuffing tyres tend to churn up the road. The use of 4x4s in opencast mining requires less shunting at narrow loading points or at the primary crusher. In tunnelling or in underground mining the smaller turning circle is particularly significant: „Here, we have already successfully placed several 4x4 thirtytonners. Specific customer requests for the more powerful B45E 4x4 prove that this derivative of our standard 6x6 machine can offer a real alternative for this very special market segment,” concludes Tristan du Pisanie.

NEWS & REPORTS unnecessary strain placed on the machine. Analyzing instances of machine misuse enables customers to diagnose problems early and implement corrective measures to protect their fleets. With the right diagnostic information delivered to their inbox every week, customers have the key to improving operating practices and avoid the costly and time-consuming consequences that breakdowns present.

Insight Reports enable customers to improve uptime, fuel efficiency and productivity of their Volvo machines. Data is also available in Excel and CSV formats should customers want to export the data for further analysis.

Designed to help customers reduce fuel consumption – the number one operational cost factor – the Fuel Efficiency Report offers a holistic view of a fleet’s efficiency. The report identifies machines that are not being used as intended, highlighting units that could result in unnecessary fuel expenses. The report is also used to track the progress of business objectives using up to eight KPIs according to individual business structures and can include budgeted fuel expenses to predict potential costs and savings.

With a range of consultancy services, including Fuel Advice and Operator Training, customers can get expert advice from their Volvo dealer and develop a plan to increase site efficiency.

Key information related to the health, fuel efficiency and productivity of a fleet is presented in the Summary Report, allowing customers to look at the big picture and identify trends. Any issues that require action are flagged, giving customers the opportunity to refine operating practices, implement new ways of working and address issues before downtime occurs.

olvo Construction Equipment introduces Stage V compliant engines at bauma Munich

Engine and construction equipment manufacturers are facing their toughest emissions challenge yet with the release of new EU Stage V emissions legislation coming into force this month. Volvo CE will be delivering maximum power and performance with new engine technology that is one further step towards a more sustainable tomorrow. Stage V introduces particulate number (PN) limits for all manufacturers of engines between 19 kW and 560 kW, requiring diesel particulate filters (DPF) to be part of the EATS on the engine installation in the machines. In addition, there will be an increased focus on emissions during the machine’s usage. For engines with a powerband bigger than 130 kW and less than 56 kW, the limits came into effect from January 1st 2019. But for engines with a powerband between 56130 kW, the legislation will come into force a year later on January 1st 2020. Volvo CE is already ahead of the game for these engines, since the company took the decision to introduce Stage V engines across both powerband ranges as early as the beginning of this year.

Issue 01 | 2019

Mats Andersson, Vice President Marketing & Sales Support for Sales Region EMEA, at Volvo CE, says: “Manufacturers are under increased pressure to ensure engines adhere to the most stringent emissions standards and this new EU regulation is the toughest yet. However, with the swift introduction of Stage V-compliant engines, Volvo CE has proved that it is committed to building a more sustainable future for its customers today.” The sophisticated Stage V range has been built not only to meet these stringent requirements, but to provide a number of benefits for OEMs and operators. These include: • Productivity: optimizing power to maximize customer use and provide good ROI. • Uptime: ensuring that the engine is robust, reliable, and easy to service. • Cost of ownership: minimizing fuel consumption and maintenance costs. • Sustainability: reducing emissions for environment care and regulations compliance.

NEWS & REPORTS The competitive solution will effectively be the same as for existing Stage IV engines, except that DPF is now required on machines with engines between 19-36 kW.

Finally, the exhaust gas recirculation feature – both cooled and uncooled – reduces emissions by recirculating a portion of exhaust gas back into the engine.

The highly advanced system has undergone extensive tests in the toughest of operational conditions to ensure it meets customers’ needs for today and tomorrow. The new and improved system provides for a charge air cooler, which cools the inlet air for better efficiency, and either a variable geometry turbo (VGT), designed to optimize the airfuel ratio in the turbo to be altered as conditions change, or a fixed geometry turbo with waste gate (WG). A DPF has been designed to remove diesel particulate matter or soot from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine, while a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) serves to oxidize hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide and water.

With fuel efficiency and maximum uptime a key consideration for Volvo CE, customers can be confident that their machines meet the strictest of emissions standards and have been fully optimized for tomorrow’s needs.

Passive regeneration of the aftertreatment system eliminates unplanned stops during operation. Current tests show that there will be no need for stand-still regeneration under normal operational conditions; the exhaust temperature is automatically maintained at an optimum level.

The new dynamic look this gives the Stage V ADTs reflects the high performance, power and robustness of the Doosan ADT range and aligns even more closely with rest of the market-leading range of construction equipment from Doosan.

In 2018, the DA30 ADT was upgraded with a range of features including a new cab, a new self-levelling front suspension and a new tandem bogie system which are all incorporated in the new Stage V model. A similar process has been applied in the new 40 tonne Stage V machine, with a new cab and a semi-levelling front suspension that adjusts itself independently depending on the operating conditions to ensure a comfortable working environment for the operator.

Complementing the striking external changes on the new ADTs, are the new Scania Stage V compliant 9 and 13 l engines that now power the machines. The new Scania engines have undergone two years of very intensive testing in exacting construction and mining environments over the last two years and have passed with flying colours. Whilst the core of the Scania engines, which has been responsible for their exceptional reliability, has not changed, the main difference in the new engines from their predecessors is the improved after-treatment system.

As well as these changes, the new Stage V models offer many more features - one of the most eye-catching is a new design for the front frame and bonnet components on the

Together with the visual changes there are a number of functional changes on the new ADTs which improve safety, comfort and serviceability. These include a new positioning of the diesel and AdBlue tanks. These are now much lower than before, allowing the operator to fill both tanks whilst standing next to the machine (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ground level fillingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;). The greasing system has also been relocated to make it easily accessible from ground level. Space has been provided above the automatic lubrication system (which is standard) for additional grease cartridges and a filling pump. In addition, the transmission filters have been installed close to the greasing system, where they are also very easy to access. All of these systems are protected to ensure that any excess drops of oil/grease are collected and can be removed during service and maintenance. Both of the new machines are equipped with additional external round hand rails to prevent accidents and hazardous situations. Inside the cab, there is a new additional grip on the right hand side for increased safety for the operator. The electronic and hydraulic systems in the new trucks have also been upgraded to offer improved

performance with extended functionality and new technology. With all of these advanced features incorporated, the new Doosan Stage V ADTs establish a unique benchmark in load carrying performance, fuel efficiency, enhanced controllability and high operator comfort, together with improved reliability, durability and reduced maintenance and servicing costs. Like all Doosan ADTs, the new models feature an articulation hinge positioned behind the turning ring to provide equal weight distribution to the front axle even during maximum steer articulation. This combined with a free-swinging rear tandem bogie ensures equal distribution of weight to each wheel and guarantees permanent 6-wheel contact and drive for equal power distribution and excellent performance particularly on difficult terrains such as soft ground, uneven surfaces, very steep slopes, tight turns or a combination of all of these difficult conditions.

NEWS & REPORTS at the same time: “Construction sites are the starting point for future mobility. Roads have to be constructed, railway tracks laid, agricultural and forest tracks built and factories erected. The construction and mining sectors are therefore key industries and an indispensable part of our world now and in the future.” Continental will be exhibiting its current innovations, technological developments and services at bauma, the leading international trade show for construction machinery, in Munich (hall C5.403) from April 8 to 14, 2019. The technology company will be focusing on service and consultancy concepts allowing drivers, fleet managers and operators of construction sites, quarries and sand and gravel pits to measurably increase their productivity. The portfolio also includes predictive maintenance concepts for greater operational reliability, solutions for reducing downtime and systems to enable drivers and fleet managers to navigate the flood of information. All this is underpinned by sensors that monitor the fundamental components in machinery and vehicles. The company supplies assistance systems and solutions for monitoring surroundings in response to the trend towards fully automated vehicles and machines. The customers benefit from the fact that Continental offers a one-stop shop for complete system solutions. Starting with the know-how for components such as tires and air springs, then moving on to sensors that monitor them and the electronic systems, software programming and connectivity solutions to process the data, right through to fleet management software and the driver‘s workplace where this data is processed and displayed. Together, these yield comprehensive, groundbreaking solutions for efficient processes, a safe working environment and effective machine handling in the construction and mining industries.

Optimized route management and perfect tire use Continental is exhibiting its extensive tire portfolio – EM-Master for wheel loaders, RDT-Master for rigid dump trucks and Conti CrossTrac for trucks – for different applications on construction sites, in quarries and in sand and gravel pits at bauma. In its new ContiLogger consultancy concept, Continental is also bringing together tires, hardware, software and data into an innovative service approach. The technology company uses a range of components in order to capture data such as tire pressure, tire temperature and vehicle and topographic data in reallife applications. With the aid of the data collected, which either undergoes one-off analysis by the Continental field engineer or is continuously digitally captured by the user, recommendations can be developed for optimized route management, loading or tire use. Consequently, users can not only identify whether a tire is being overloaded or underused and thus extend tire lifetime but can also adapt operational processes so that overall productivity is increased.

Efficient and safe – remote condition monitoring systems for conveyor belts The issue of service remains a focus for conveyor belt systems. Continental ensures safe and efficient operations especially by means of remote condition monitoring systems. Sensors monitor every movement of the conveyor belt and inspect the surfaces or the integrity of the steel cords in real time. Databases store the information, while

It allows a high level of adaptability to the relevant requirements of the construction vehicles and thus offers benefits to both drivers and manufacturers. Drivers only have the information they really need displayed – in their mother tongue, on request. This means they are not unnecessarily distracted and are able to focus on the traffic and their operations. Unscheduled vehicle downtime and the risk of accidents are reduced as a result.

Low-NOx and efficient emissions technology for clean mobility At bauma, Continental will also be exhibiting solutions for efficient emissions technology in construction machines. The challenge centers on ensuring that the exhaust aftertreatment system reaches – and maintains – an efficient working temperature as quickly as possible after starting the engine. However, the possibilities for integrating catalytic converters and filters differ greatly from vehicle to vehicle. Continental has developed a range of solutions enabling further progress to be achieved in converting NOx: near-engine positioning and an architecture with an innovative combination of diesel injection and an electric heating element upstream of the catalytic converter.

BeltGenius ALEX analyzes the alignment of carrying idlers in conveyor systems as part of its service portfolio. As soon as the system sensors detect a deviation from the set values during their temporary measurement, the system reports the problem and provides specific solution suggestions to mine operators.

Smooth startup of belt conveyors with hydrodynamic couplings Voith introduces the latest addition to its TurboBelt TPXL range of fill-controlled couplings, as the portfolio now includes 500 kW, 800 kW and 1250 kW versions. The integrated controller matches the output torque exactly to the startup parameters of the belt conveyor system, thus reducing wear and increasing service life. Due to its high power density, the TurboBelt TPXL range requires only half the volume of conventional couplings and therefore can be easily integrated into drive trains.

Dtect provides real-time data of driveline performance as well as coupling status and enables operators to identify and avoid potential problems (Photos: Voith)

Added intelligence to torque limiting couplings Voith presents Dtect, an intelligent system that provides real-time data of driveline performance and coupling status. It enables comprehensive monitoring of torque limiting couplings and helps to increase productivity as well as significantly lower production and maintenance costs. The system was specifically designed to work with Voith couplings, which serve to prevent machine damage in high-value rotating equipment. Further, it can be easily integrated into established process information networks as well as an update to existing couplings. The HMI touch panel offers highest usability, better control and status information for operators and uses visual warning indicators to assist in decision-making.

NEWS & REPORTS Temperature-resistant, versatile couplings for construction vehicles H couplings from Voith feature two damping systems working in parallel: a spring-mass system and a viscoushydraulic damping system. The couplings are very compact, temperature-resistant and highly versatile, resulting in the highest reliability for drivelines. They also dampen torsional vibrations and torque shocks in the driveline as well as increase the operational stability and service life of construction vehicles. This optimizes availability and reduces life cycle costs for operators. Further, radially arranged steel compression springs transfer the torque from the engine to the driven components. Additional damping grease generates high damping values, and the complete coupling operates virtually wear-free, leading to very long uptimes. This keeps service and maintenance costs at low levels. H couplings can be found in main drives for wheel loaders, dump trucks and mobile cranes, among others.

E-Power Pipe nominated for bauma Innovation Award 2019

With E-PowerPipe®, Herrenknecht AG has developed an innovative method that meets all the requirements for the trenchless installation of cable protection pipes and represents a real economic alternative to open-cut installation. (Photos: Herrenknecht)

-Power Pipe® is a trenchless method for the economic and environmentally friendly installation of underground cables. The new development from Herrenknecht has been nominated for the bauma Innovation Award 2019 in the „Machine” category. Trenchless technology offers significant advantages over the conventional open-cut method. The innovative procedure closes a technical gap because it allows small diameter drives with ten times greater lengths, shallower depths as well as high precision and speed. With E-Power Pipe®, Herrenknecht has developed a new method to quickly and securely install small-diameter cable protection pipes underground over long distances of more than a kilometer. The innovative method has purposefully modified and further developed proven drilling technologies so that in the future, underground cables can be installed trenchlessly and close to the surface at a depth of between two and four meters with minimal intervention in the landscape.

NEWS & REPORTS The E-Power Pipe® method has already proven itself in pilot projects. Here you can see thebreakthrough which was achieved in a pilot project in Borken (Photos: Herrenknecht)

The two-stage installation method E-Power Pipe®

The heart of the system is the fully remote controlled tunnel boring machine AVNS350XB, which has an excavation diameter of 505 millimeters and is designed for drive lengths of more than 1,000 meters. The machine can keep to the planned alignment with high precision and thus cross safely under existing infrastructure such as pipelines, roads, railways or smaller bodies of water. Individual boreholes can be placed a small distance apart of only 1 – 2 m, so several lines can be installed in parallel. The tunnelling machine is equipped with a jet pump and an integrated hydraulic power unit. With conventional methods, space restrictions limited muck removal over longer sections and as a result also limited the drive lengths possible. Through the use of the jet pump for transporting the muck, up to 10 times longer tunnelling distances can be realized at high speeds in the small diameter range.

At the starting point, a newly developed push and pull unit is installed and its thrust is used to push the jacking pipes and the TBM along the specified route in the direction of the target point. The borehole remains securely supported by the machine and the jacking pipes the whole time. After breakthrough at the target point, the TBM is separated from the jacking pipes. Subsequently, the prefabricated cable protection pipe is connected to the jacking pipes still located in the borehole and pulled back and thus into the borehole by the push and pull unit in the launch shaft at the other end. After installation of the protection pipe, the E-Power Pipe® mission is complete. Final insertion of the underground cables is carried out by appropriately specialized companies. The method innovation involved the development of new, extended jacking pipes that allow a much more continuous advance. Herrenknecht developed an appropriate push and pull unit with a 10 meter stroke and a push and pull force of 350 tonnes specifically for these jacking pipes. The

In the pilot projects the E-Power Pipe® method delivered convincing daily best performances of 184 m during tunnelling and 266 m when the protection pipe was pulled in (Photos: Herrenknecht)

technology is based on a rack and pinion guide, powered by electric motors. As a result, the innovative concept ensures higher installation performance and greater acceptance thanks to lower noise emissions.

Trenchless technology for the expansion of the high voltage grid

The efficiency of E-Power PipeÂŽ has already been successfully demonstrated in pilot projects. Daily best performances were achieved of 184 m during tunnelling and 266 m when the protective pipe was pulled in. The development of the method received funding from the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy (BMWi research project IBoTec) and was carried out by Herrenknecht in cooperation with Amprion GmbH and with RWTH Aachen.

As part of the planned grid expansion with total investments of approx. 50 billion euros (including offshore grid connections), there is a need in Germany for 3,050 kilometers of grid reinforcement on existing lines and around 2,400 kilometers of new high-voltage direct current transmission lines, which are primarily to be installed as underground cables. With the environmentally friendly installation of efficient power lines, local residents and property owners can be relieved, social acceptance can be increased and approval procedures can be accelerated.

Environmentally friendly alternative to the open-cut method

The required personnel and associated costs are also significantly lower compared to open-cut installation. Thus with the same number of personnel, several sections of line can be worked on simultaneously. These time and

The installation of underground cables using the E-Power PipeÂŽ method is a groundconserving alternative to the conventional open-cut method. Due to the trenchless installation method, earth movements are reduced at the places where HVDC cables have to be connected later. This can mean a reduction of about 90 percent in relation to the entire alignment. Installation takes place without any environmental impact over long distances, since the surfaces and the soil structure are left largely untouched. The use

Always moving forward in pipeline technology

Since November 2018, an HDD service hub in Texas has been providing optimum service and customer proximity. Texas ranks 6th in the world‘s major oil regions, making it the center of the U.S. pipeline industry (Photos: Herrenknecht)

dense pipeline network spanning over three million kilometers is the global backbone of industry and commerce. To keep supply stable, innovative pipeline companies are constantly expanding the network and making it denser even in sparsely populated places. In the pipeline business too, Herrenknecht is a dependable partner supporting its contractors throughout the duration of every project. Groundbreaking pipeline tools close technology gaps and offer individual solutions for any project challenge. Every year, around 380 kilometers of new pipelines are installed worldwide using Herrenknecht technology. Thanks to innovative technology developments such as Direct Pipe®, pipelines can be installed quickly and securely even in difficult topologies. Crossing under a hurricane protection levee in Texas, Direct Pipe® met even the stringent safety requirements of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The method combines the advantages of microtunnelling and HDD technology. In a single step, a prefabricated pipeline can be installed trenchless and the required borehole excavated at the same time. For the modernization of a wastewater treatment plant near Auckland, innovative Direct Pipe® technology was used to install a sea outfall pipeline. The machine bored its way over 1,930 meters through the New Zealand subsoil into the sea, breaking a new world record (Photos: Herrenknecht)

NEWS & REPORTS Innovative machine technology: versatile rigs that drill into the depths with entry angles between 8 and 90 degrees. In Zevenbergen in the Netherlands, by means of SDD technology, geothermal energy is used to heat multiple greenhouses (Photos: Herrenknecht)

In Auckland, for example, Direct Pipe® proved itself in the modernization of a wastewater treatment plant. Here the Herrenknecht Utility machine set a new distance record: it bored its 1,930 meters long way through the New Zealand subsoil into the sea. By using the innovative technology, harmful environmental effects on the underwater flora were minimized. The company also offers HDD expertise for pipeline installations like this from the mainland to the seabed (shore approach). In Anglesea, Australia, the Dunstans Construction Group replaced the sea outfall pipe of a water treatment plant cut off by a collapsing cliff using a Herrenknecht HK250C rig within a few months. HDD rigs from Herrenknecht are part of contractors‘ standard repertoire for river crossings too. South Paris, as part of a canal extension, the ten meter deep Canal latéral à l‘Oise running parallel to the river Oise was widened and deepened to accommodate large vessels. The existing gas pipeline had to be lowered by eight meters and replaced. After only a week, the approximately 250 meter long and

18 meter deep river crossing was successfully completed. A special feature of this project: the HK80CK rig used is hybrid and powered by both a diesel engine and an electric motor. Once the rig is in position, only the electric motor runs during the drilling process, resulting in lower exhaust emissions. In urban areas in particular, the compact rig stands out with its space-saving design, while its low noise levels can increase acceptance of construction work among the population. Mechanized excavation technology is also used for the extraction of resources. With entry angles between a shallow 8 and a vertical 90 degrees, coal seam gases and oil sands at depths of up to 2,000 meters can be tapped using Slant Directional Drilling (SDD). In Zevenbergen in the Netherlands, renewable geothermal energy accessed by Herrenknecht deep drilling rigs is used to heat multiple greenhouses. The principle is simple: a well raises the warm water from a depth of 1,535 meters. Then, after the heat has been extracted, the cold water is pumped down a second well back into the reservoir.

In close cooperation with HDD specialists, innovative tools have been developed that greatly simplify the previously multistage reaming process (Photos: Herrenknecht)

NEWS & REPORTS To drive advances in the pipeline market, Herrenknecht is constantly working to improve existing pipeline technologies. In close cooperation with HDD specialists, for example, innovative tools have been developed that greatly simplify the previously multi-stage reaming process. The Full Face Hole Opener (FFHO) is a milestone in HDD pipeline installation as it enables the efficient reaming of pilot holes in a single step. The Downhole Jetpump (DHJP) removes the drill cuttings in the drill string itself and not through the borehole. This means HDD boreholes are cleaned much more effectively and safely than before. The tools can be used individually or in combination to help to get the best results from any project. With around 80 domestic and and overseas subsidiaries and associated companies working in related fields, Herrenknecht provides comprehensive fast and targeted services close to each project and contractor. In late 2018, a new HDD service hub opened in Houston, Texas, right in the heart of the American pipeline business. The U.S. state is the world‘s sixth largest oil producer. With its location, the company is now even closer to the center of the U.S. oil industry

NEWS & REPORTS REMA TIP TOP in action: Live demonstration and factory tours

In addition to product solutions, service is increasingly coming to the fore: At bauma, REMA TIP TOP will present a unique system for digital, proactive monitoring and maintainance of conveyor systems with modern sensor technology from REMA MCube and the associated REMA CCube software. The conveyor system goes through the cycle of “monitor,“ „maintain“ and „manage“ (MCube).

A highlight at the exhibition stand will be live demonstrations of RMS: The modular wear protection system guarantees long operating times with minimum maintenance requirements – even in demanding applications with broken or sharp-edged material. Visitors will be shown on site how, in the event of excessive strain, individual modules can be easily replaced upon an indication from the monitoring system – all without having to carry out a large-scale lining replacement. At bauma, REMA TIP TOP will also be presenting other products from the material processing sector that are optimally tailored to customer needs. Examples include REMALOX HD wear protection for absorbing impact energy, or the rubber lining material REMA PERFORMANCEgrip.

The reporting that is based on this consists of the phases “command,“ „control“ and „communicate“ (CCube). Digital and cloud-based monitoring enables plant operators to detect and eliminate critical loads at an early stage in order to prevent belt damage. In addition to the service life of the material, productivity can also be increased: With REMA MCube downtime caused by unexpected damages such as longitudinal rips can be significantly reduced. Through a fast automatic shutdown the length of the damage is limited and the repair can be performed within a reasonable period – in the main conveyor section a decisive factor in securing availability and productivity of the entire system. For this purpose, REMA TIP TOP offers REMA TIP TOP conveyor belts of the brand DBP which are fitted with sensors, as well as electronic monitoring systems.

or operators in the mining industry, quarries or sand and gravel works, it is a common annoyance: abrasive material, which is transported and processed in their plants, leaves traces of wear in many places in the production process. Dump truck bodies, bunkers, chutes, loading points, funnels, hoppers and silos are affected by the enormous mechanical stresses in continuous use. And the wear protection used, often does not bring the desired effect and must be replaced after a few months. To improve this, REMA TIP TOP has developed a modular wear protection system that offers long service life even in demanding applications: RMS-MP-70. The clever part of the modular system: in the event of punctual damage, the modules can be replaced individually thanks to their uniform size, which considerably reduces operating costs compared with the large-scale replacement of a lining. The installation is simple: the trapezoidal elements are interconnected like a puzzle. Their overlap ensures a stable construction that prevents fine material from entering between the parts.

A five-millimeterthick steel support plate on which the rubber material is vulcanized ensures secure attachment and also protects against material migration.

Now also for medium-heavy applications So far, REMA TIP TOP offered the modules in a total thickness of 80 millimeters. „After the RMSMP-70 has already proven to be a heavy wear protection in practice, we also wanted to enable customers with medium-heavy applications a modular wear protection solution,“ explains Johannes Klöpper. To meet this demand, REMA TIP TOP has recently introduced modules with a thinner version of 40 millimeters. Their field of application is sensitive plant components, in which the grain size of the conveyed material and the impact energies are slightly lower.

Master of their craft: polyurethane and ceramics REMA TIP TOP offers the modular system under the product name RMS-REMATHAN-G90 based on polyurethane, especially for applications in the wet sector, where it is important to protect equipment and components against sliding wear and caking and where oils and fats play a role. The module thickness is also 40 millimeters. Another novelty for even longer tool life and less caking: hybrid wear protection modules with highly wear-resistant ceramic elements, which are embedded in a special rubber matrix according to the principle of the proven REMALOXHD series from REMA TIP TOP. These are available in two

thicknesses, 40 and 80 millimeters. Johannes Klöpper recommends the rubber-ceramic combination especially for transfer points with small impact angles of up to 40 degrees: „The RMSREMALOX-HD modules are ideal in these areas. There is virtually no abrasion. On the other hand, the rubber bed absorbs the impact. We combined the best of both materials.“ The modular wear protection system RMS-MP-70 is manufactured in the German REMA TIP TOP plant in Fürstenzell near Passau and is available worldwide. The modules have a size of 300/600 by 600 millimeters.
