Junttan showcases sustainable solutions at bauma 2022

Junttan recently showcased its latest sustainable solutions for piling business at bauma 2022, including the world’s first electric pile driving rig, which was officially launched in 2021 by Junttan, on display at an exhibition for the first time.

“Junttan is facing the same demands as other companies in the sector for development toward a safer and more sustainable future. Our history of more than 45 years in the piling business has taught us much, and our products have been ahead of the competition for decades. Our development will not stop there – plenty still needs to be done to reduce our environmental impact.

After 12 months, Junttan customer Aarsleff Ground Engineering Ab is truly pleased with their and the world’s first fully battery-powered pile driving rig, eJunttan PMx2e.

However, one big step forward was taken in 2021 when we launched the world’s first electric pile driving rig, eJunttan PMx2e. The electric rig has been now successfully operating for 12 months. Operator feedback is excellent, and the machine keeps on driving piles without any issues. We are proud to have our PMx2e battery-powered pile driving rig on our stand at bauma exhibition,” says Junttan CEO Tommi Lehtonen.

ELECTRIC PILE DRIVING MACHINE, EJUNTTAN PMX2E Electric, eco-friendly, energy efficient, epic, evolutionary, economical, emissionfree, exquisite – and more. Just a few e-words to describe Junttan’s fully battery-powered eJunttan, the PMx2e.

When Junttan set out to design more sustainable innovations, they understood that the new eJunttan model needed to tick all the same boxes from the very beginning as its predecessors. That’s why they decided to combine the best of both worlds: tested and optimized Junttan hydraulics merged with modern batteries and electric motor technology.

The result is the fully battery-powered electric pile driving rig that is ready to meet the same challenges at the work site as its predecessors. Instead of a diesel engine, Junttan is now powering the

hydraulic system with a modern electric motor that generates its power from a battery pack at the rear of the rig where the counterweight was located. In this way, they were able to build a solution that is reliable, easy to operate, and as effective as normal diesel-powered Junttan rigs. To make everyday life at the worksite possible, they chose a solution where the rig is powered by two separate 396 kWh battery packs that can be replaced during the day if needed. By choosing a detachable two-battery system instead of one bigger fixed, charging can be done with a normal 63A mains outlet and both batteries are ready the next morning.

With the state-of-the-art CCS DC-DC quick charging, the battery packs can be charged with up to 250 kW to enable even more flexibility and extended range for future worksites also with a single battery pack.

HHX160 HYDRAULIC IMPACT HAMMER WITH A NEW MODULAR PILE SLEEVE SOLUTION Junttan also presented a new modular pile sleeve solution for more efficient and flexible operation with quick change inserts for different pile sizes.

Junttan HHx series, the new generation hydraulic hammers for demanding conditions, provides an adjustable stroke with a blow rate of up to 60 to 180 blows per minute. With Junttan intelligent solutions, not only optimized energy and high productivity are gained but also less noise, vibration, and emissions are created. New HHx hammer series combined with intelligent x-series solutions leads to a high level of piling project productivity, flexibility, reliability, and user-friendliness, as well as easy onsite service. The modular structure allows up-grade or down-grade size by changing ram weight. All housing, caps, and sleeves are interchangeable with all Junttan HHxmodels. The hammers are operated with the new generation Junttan xCU power packs which fulfill the latest environmental requirements. Biodegradable oils and less fuel consumption by hammer automatization with Tier 4Final/Stage V engine help to protect the environment while getting the most out of the hammer.

JUNTTAN LIFE SERVICES Junttan now offers all new equipment with a selection of service contracts to extend the life cycle of the equipment. LifeCare Service Agreement covers preventative service done every 500 hours to maximize operational safety and maintain machine value and functionality with minimized unplanned downtime. LifeCare+ agreement covers also corrective maintenance once it is due to proper use of the equipment. Junttan has a strong network of technical specialists to support in acute situations remotely with the newest technology and a considerably faster response time. In Europe, Junttan offers the largest service agreement scope up to six years.

Modernization solutions breathe new life into older Junttan equipment and reduce emissions. For example, Junttan has a solution and references ready to update your Junttan equipment with Tier3 engine into Stage V equivalent level. Also, Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) – excavator-mounted solutions are now also available from Junttan.
