MINEXPO Must Sees
To help attendees maneuver through the wide assortment of mining equipment at the show, we’ve highlighted aggregate-related items on display.
ASGCO plans to display its Super-Skalper conveyor belt pre-cleaner. The all-stainless-steel system provides carry-back removal for high-speed belts, large head pulleys, and large sizes and volumes of material.
Astec will feature its BTI RMS18 Mine Scaler. The company says the scaler combines ruggedness with the flexibility of stationary boom systems to create a small, maneuverable machine that can reach multiple scaling faces and positions with a single set up.
Atlas Copco Drilling Solutions Booth # 2121
Atlas Copco will showcase its new SmartROC D65 down-the-hole drill rig with Hole Navigation System. The entire drill cycle is automated so that drilling times are maximized and life of consumables lengthened. The drill can download data directly from the office computer through the worksite’s own local area network or wireless network.
Baldor Electric Co. Booth # 26001
Baldor will feature the expanded size range and multiple configurations for its Dodge MagnaGear XTR reducer designed with torque ratings ranging from 100,000 to 920,000 pounds. Using a modular design, the reducers are available in parallel shaft or right-angle configurations, with solid- or hollow-shaft output, and in several mounting configurations including swing-base and tunnel housings.
Boart Longyear will showcase its new LS600 sonic rig, said to deliver more accurate core sampling with less than 1-percent hole deviation, reduced waste, and faster penetration than conventional methods. The technology incorporates sonic frequencies that match the resonant energy of the ground, allowing the core barrel to easily advance in difficult overburden formations.
Bridgestone will display its VREP radial tire designed for heavy-duty mining operations. The tire features a unique tread pattern for longer tread life combined with a high-durability casing to provide reduced cost per ton. Trapezoidal blocks and circumferential grooves in the tread help improve resistance to lateral forces, as well as minimize heat generation.
