The focus of risk has swung!

Risk 1a — Majors learning to balance shareholder demands with long-term growth strategies

For larger miners, the rapid decline in commodity prices in 2012, rampant cost inflation and falling returns have created a mismatch between miners’ long-term investment horizons and the short-term return horizon of new yield-hungry shareholders in the sector.

Many years of high growth in earnings, cash fl ows and capital appreciation have attracted a different group of investors to mining. These investors have short-term investment horizons and are not as comfortable with the

Business risks facing mining and metals 2013–2014 EY’s Global Mining & Metals Center

The business risk report Mining and Metals 2013–2014

The twin capital dilemmas of capital allocation and access to capital have rocketed to the top of the business risk list for mining and metals companies globally, up from number eight in 2012. These capital dilemmas are strategic risks that threaten the long-term growth prospects of the larger miners at one end of the sector, and the short-term survival of cashstrapped juniors at the other end.

sector’s cyclical nature and its longer-term and often counter cyclical development, investment and return horizon. This raises the question of how to balance the demands of short-term shareholders with those investing for longer-term returns. There is a profound risk that the decisions taken by mining and metals companies today could damage their growth prospects, destroying shareholder value over the longer term.

Risk 1b - Junior miners fight for survivalThe dilemma for junior miners could not be more different.

The dramatic and continuing sell-off in equity markets has starved the junior end of the market of capital at levels we have not seen in 10 years. Advanced juniors and mid-tier producers have been caught in the middle, exposed to a


EDUCATION

fragile balancing act between investors’ thirst for yield and low tolerance of risk.

The cash and working capital position of the industry’s smallest companies underlines the severity of the situation.

Companies with a market value of less than US$2 million - about 20% of listed mining companies across the main junior exchanges - had on average less than US$1 million in cash and equivalents on their balance sheets at 31 December 2012.

Risk 2 - Margin protection and productivity improvement

A decade of higher prices has concealed the impact of rampant inflation, falling productivity and poor capital discipline in the sector. In 2012, the softening of commodity prices in an environment of escalating costs had a major impact on bottom lines, resulting in significant impairments and derating of company stock prices. A weak external environment and the lack of investor confidence have heralded an industry-wide directional change from growth for growth’s sake towards long-term optimization of operating costs and capital allocation.

Some of the factors squeezing margins, such as scarcity premiums for inputs or high producer currencies, will ultimately self-correct as mineral prices fall. However, high costs will continue to take a toll on company margins

until companies address the longer-term optimization of operating costs and capital allocation. While the market has been rewarding any cost decreases, those that improve long-term value by being embedded and sustainable will prove the most valuable.

Alongside this, productivity in the sector has been on the decline for nearly a decade, across manpower, equipment, processes and logistics. This has significantly impacted the sector’s input to output ratio.

Those who have tackled margin protection early are increasingly turning their focus towards optimizing productivity through their capital structure, and more judicious use of labor and equipment. These companies are also focused on using innovation as a means of enhancing productivity. The increased digitization of mines also means that firms can better monitor and analyze processes in order to understand why productivity is falling and to identify and employ better practices.

Risk 3 - Resource nationalism remains prolifi c

This risk is every bit as critical as it was last year; it is only that other risks have exceeded it in the urgency with which they need to be addressed, bumping it back to third place. In some respects, companies are becoming less sensitive to the shock of resource nationalism as it becomes increasingly prolifi c year-on-year (y-o-y). Rising taxes and royalties, mandated beneficiation, government

ownership and the restriction of exports continue to spread across the globe. As resource nationalism has become more endemic, mining and metals companies have become better at managing this risk. There are some signs that the retreat in capital investment by the sector may see governments take a more considered and cautious approach, but the mining and metals sector must continue to engage with governments to foster a greater understanding of the value a project brings to the host government, country and community.

Our newcomer - Threat of substitutesThis horizon-watching risk is one to monitor closely as

its most acute ramifications are being felt across North America. The US shale gas boom and the gas-for-coal substitution that has occurred was sudden and the impact unexpected, with global ramifications. It has highlighted the very credible and looming threat of substitution for single commodity companies or companies where one commodity dominates the product mix or profi t share.

The first indication that a threat exists can be seen when there are regulatory changes, commodity cost or supply issues, products with low profit margins, environmental concerns or technology advances. And once substitution starts occurring, it is potentially irreversible as it could cause a structural shift in consumer habits.

Substitution has the capacity to radically and rapidly change their market should the right conditions prevail. Other substitution examples include aluminium for steel; palladium for platinum; aluminium, plastics, fiber optics or steel and graphene for copper; and pig iron for pure nickel.

Other top risksSocial license to operate has crept up the list to fourth

position as activists become more powerful and vocal through the use of social media around concerns over climate change, competition for water and the impact mining has on communities. Skills shortage slips to five as the deferral or cancellation of new projects brings temporary relief, but staffing the massive current development pipeline still remains a red hot issue. Price and currency volatility sees lower commodity prices testing the viability of marginal mines in the face of increasing costs. While the ramifications of poor capital project execution have largely been absorbed by the sector, a record amount of construction is still in progress.

Sharing the benefits steps up a place as stakeholders increase their call for a bigger piece of the pie despite lower margins, and infrastructure access continues to test the miners as financing evaporates.

Some old faces in the crowdHalf of the risks that were present six years ago, remain

as critical today. A sector participant’s ability to mitigate these challenges can mean the difference between survival and profitability. New risk entrants over these years largely reflect the cyclical nature of the sector and the sector’s ability to overcome these challenges.

THE TOP 10 BUSINESS RISkS FOR MINING AND METALS

1 Capital dilemmas - capital allocation and capital access

Volatility in the market has seen access to capital and its allocation catapulted to the number one risk ranking. For both majors and juniors they are being restricted from investing capital - the juniors through restricted access to capital and the majors through lack of permission to deploy it.

For the larger mining and metals companies, the dilemma is •how best to allocate capital.

The industry has entered a new era of focusing on margin quality over price driven volume growth. Its decisionmakers have to balance divergent stakeholder demands with the ultimate goal of maximizing returns. There is a call by some investors for a structural shift in capital allocation strategies, with greater allocation of capital back to shareholders to offset falling short-term yields. Declarations by new and old CEOs alike promise greater capital discipline, a commitment to credit rating quality and an unfailing focus to maximize shareholder returns. This has created a mismatch between miners’ long-term investment horizons and the short-term return horizon of dividend chasers.

Balanced communication with long-term messages will help to reach and attract the long-term investors, and greater transparency will ensure the trust of all shareholders.


EDUCATION

Juniors face the risk of not having access to sufficient wor-•king capital to stay solvent.

The pullback of investors from riskier investments in the junior end of the market has created a capital desert for this segment of the market that has not been seen in a decade. The cash and working capital position of the industry’s smallest companies is so severe that many are not in a cash position to wait for market conditions to improve, with a rationalization of the market expected. There is some hope in the form of private capital investors who are favoring the juniors with more advanced projects.

2 Margin protection and productivity improvement

Softening commodity prices in an environment of high costs are continuing to squeeze margins. Companies have responded with sector-wide redundancies, mine closures and divestments of non-core assets. There is a significant shift in the market from growth for growth’s sake towards long-term optimization of operating costs and capital allocation.

There is also a renewed focus on improving productivity by removing inefficiencies across the organization that were allowed to creep in during the period of high commodity prices. Even a return to the productivity levels of labor and equipment that existed a decade ago would yield major benefits to margins.

3 Resource nationalism While still high on the risk radar, resource nationalism

is not the surprise it once was and mining and metals companies are more adept at managing it. It has even been touted that the current environment of squeezed margins and risk aversion might prompt some governments to promote initiatives to attract mining and metals investment.

Lagging realization as to the new reality leads governments to look to companies to fund the shortfall in revenues produced by a volatile economy. It is often at this point - just before an investment boom ends - that there is often an increase in government participation in the sector. This may be by direct equity, as well as increased taxes and royalties.

While the footprint of resource nationalism has continued to expand, it has also come in more variety - mandated


EDUCATION

beneficiation, government direct ownership, the threat of export taxes and most recently the use of EITI activities to revisit existing contracts.

Miners have had to become more politically savvy and are factoring specific country risk into investment models. The most successful are building strong relationships with government, effectively communicating the positive impacts of mining and increasing the transparency of government payments. Finding ways to otherwise direct their projects from the threat of resource nationalism has also been more productive.

4 Social license to operateThe need for a social license to operate (SLTO) is readily

accepted by the mining and metals sector. Its consistent midpoint ranking points to its importance, as well as an understanding of what managing this risk entails. However, the pressure on SLTO remains with increased activism, digitally connected stakeholders and politicians who need to respond to general consensus. New sustainability challenges arise quickly and can also morph into other issues even quicker.

Stakeholders are becoming savvier, while anti-mining sentiment continues to proliferate against a backdrop of community and climate change concerns. Meanwhile, regulators are increasingly seeking to fill the gap between community expectations and existing laws with increased regulation.

Achieving an SLTO is one challenge, maintaining it is another. The key to both is communicating the value through the concept of shared value.

The sector’s understanding of the potential of shared value is encouragingly in its infancy, suggesting a real opportunity for addressing SLTO. Companies can find better ways to demonstrate shared value in a manner that draws attention to the benefits of their initiative.

5 Skills shortageWhile the urgency of the availability of skilled talent has

been slightly reduced by a number of mine closures and the cancellation of new projects, the long-term challenge remains. As supply increases (despite price reductions), the number of skilled workers also needs to increase.

The difficult market environment of 2012 saw the mining and metals sector experience layoffs at high-cost mines. As


EDUCATION

some companies discovered, job losses can affect social license to operate, create brand damage, increase indirect costs and result in higher turnover. However, while the environment saw the nature of the risk change, presenting the industry with a whole new set of challenges, longer-term demand for labor is still expected to trend steeply upwards. In fact, employment upheaval may actually accelerate the exit of workers from the sector.

There is no quick-fi x solution; the shortage of skilled talent can be addressed by developing a more holistic framework by:

Adopting creative and innovative approaches to access new •pools of talent

Leveraging technology•

Motivating, engaging and retaining existing skilled workers•

In the short term, mining and metals companies should review their value proposition to attract and retain staff. The industry has a unique opportunity to recalibrate its salary levels given compensation levels are well above market average. This will allow it to be well prepared for the ongoing challenge of competing for skilled talent. Longer term, skill sets that better match the new market environment such as cost optimization, capital rationing and government stakeholder management will need to be met by an already thin-on the- ground industry.

6 Price and currency volatilityUnprecedented price and currency volatility will

continue to test mining and metals companies for the next few years as the sector approaches supply-demand equilibrium in many commodities.

Demand for most commodities - driven by China and other rapid-growth economies - has outstripped supply for the best part of the past decade, fueling higher prices and encouraging new supply. As supply and demand now approach equilibrium, longer lead times in changing production are leading to overcorrection and undercorrection in supply, causing increased price volatility.

The more progressive mining and metals companies are finding new ways to manage this volatility that will deliver benefits throughout the next two to three years when sharper and more frequent movements in prices are expected.


EDUCATION

New solutions are required to cope with the bumpy ride ahead. Short-term commodity hedging is sure to be a feature of managing this risk but, for most, the opportunity to establish an effective hedge is past.

Companies must consider potential price and currency outcomes well beyond current forward curves and mine plans. Best practice in the current climate will include measuring uncertainties, probabilities and the impact of decisions on expected returns - inherently difficult to do.

Companies can:

Document the volatility of critical cash flow elements and im-•prove mine planning to match volatility

Better integrate mine and financial planning•

Consider how price and currency volatility change the cor-•porate risk appetite

Choose the right tools to react to price risk•

Increase the flexibility of costs to vary production levels•

The next price upswing will give companies the opportunity to commence a hedging program that provides better protection from future downward price volatility.

7 Capital project execution2012 saw numerous highly publicized mega projects

being canceled, with others delivered late, over budget or not meeting specification. The underlying risk of mega projects has not changed; however, the new driver is the scarcity of capital rather than the scarcity of project inputs. While the mining investment boom is peaking, delivery of a record number of complex projects still challenges the sector — will there be more failures?

A key characteristic of how mining and metals companies have sought to address this is the increased involvement and accountability of executive management in portfolio management, project selection, size and scoping decisions. This is ensuring strategic risk management - critical in today’s world. An accompanying focus on prudent project selection and planning is important, while other headline initiatives can include improved capex predictability, establishing a robust governance structure and contingency planning, to name a few.

Capital investment management and project delivery principles are becoming popular terms within the sector’s capital projects. Executives are right to demand more emphasis be placed on understanding the benefits and risk of these processes before a project has even been approved.


EDUCATION

In an environment of volatile commodity prices, low profitability and mounting pressure from shareholders, future mega projects should be approved as programs with multiple projects. This will provide executives with more options for reassessment throughout the project life cycle, granting them much-needed flexibility in an otherwise inflexible environment.

8 Sharing the benefitsThis risk is characterized by a push and pull: more

vocal stakeholders with increased demands versus falling commodity prices and higher costs. Stakeholder expectations need to be reset to the new market conditions and lower base of distributable value; however, those expectations lag the new reality.

Shareholders feel they have seen little return in a period of large profits and large reinvestment in high-cost, organic growth and low-value M&A. Recent impairment charges have aggravated this attitude with criticism of management and board performance resulting in recent CEO turnover.

Despite the margin squeeze, 2012 and 2013 has seen a period of record industrial disputation and expansion of resource nationalism that sought to secure a large slice of a shrinking pie.

Organizations should take a long-term view of sharing the benefits and proactively manage stakeholder expectations.

Initiatives include working with employees to improve productivity and provide a basis for real wage increases

as a trade-off or obtaining acceleration in regulatory approvals as an offset to higher taxes.

One stakeholder group that is being well handled is suppliers. Companies have been proactive in responding to supplier demands and are renegotiating supply agreements. This entails the relationship focus to switch from short-term outcomes to exploit scarcity to a longer-term, more strategic one.

While stakeholder demands will naturally rebalance over time, those companies that communicate with their stakeholders to bring that rebalancing forward will create greater value. It is vital that the next reset does not sow the seeds of stakeholder discontent for the inevitable recovery in mineral prices.

9 Infrastructure accessWith mining and metals companies turning to new

deposits in frontier countries, the lack of infrastructure is a substantial hurdle. High costs and capital constraints are creating an infrastructure funding gap where neither governments nor miners are able to fund all of the mining infrastructure needs.

To fill this gap, mining and metals companies are having to reassess their needs and revise their strategies. Majors are being more selective in capital allocation, juniors are recognizing the need for collaboration, and everyone is considering selling stakes in infrastructure assets.

Newcomers include non-traditional financiers such as customers and equipment suppliers, typically from emerging countries and usually with government backing.


EDUCATION

Private equity is also showing an interest and institutional investors have emerged. Meanwhile, governments are increasingly playing the role of supporter rather than investor.

With companies changing the way they view the control of infrastructure, the infrastructure challenge looks set to change, and in so doing, a whole new set of sub-risks will undoubtedly materialize.

Ultimately, a new model of risk transfer and retention will be necessary to unlock the necessary financing.

10 Threat of substitutionA newcomer to the top 10, substitution has the potential

to be a game changer if your product is impacted. It has already dramatically transformed the US coal market and has the capacity to irreversibly change other commodity markets, should the right conditions prevail.

For single commodity organizations, or organizations where one commodity dominates the product mix/profit share, substitution is a very credible and looming threat, especially when the commodity’s recent price has been high or there is a regulatory push that affects its prolifi c use. It is critical to respond to early indicators of a commodity threat - such as new or increasing environmental concerns, advances in technology, competing products with low profi t margins and less dependence on quality and performance.

Mining and metals companies need to stay focused on government regulations, emergent technologies or price-driven behaviors and be active in preparing responses. Building risk management to deal with this risk into current strategies can help prepare the organization for these events. The risk of substitution also highlights the importance of monitoring interdependent sectors.

Our experience in the delivery of mining projects across the world in recent years has revealed a number of challenges for us and other equipment manufacturers if we are to continue to provide processing systems that are fit for purpose.

A major challenge for equipment manufacturers in the years ahead will be to provide materials processing systems that are able to be efficiently deployed in increasingly remote locations. There will also be a requirement to process increasingly difficult materials that have been overlooked until now. As our demand for steel, aluminium,

CDE Global have been involved in the design, manufacture and delivery of turnkey materials processing systems since 1992 and work across four sectors – Mining, Construction & Recycling, Specialist Industrial Sands and Environmental . In this paper Peter Craven (Head of Marketing) outlines how equipment manufacturers can meet the demands of the mining industry in the years ahead.

CDE Global | CDE Mining: How equipment manufacturers can deliver processing systems that are fit for purpose

copper and silica sands and other industrial minerals continues to increase mining companies are constantly looking for new and improved processing technologies that will allow them to process lower grade ores and industrial sands and produce final products suitable for use in downstream processes.

Another development we have witnessed is an increased focus on staged investment as a means of delivery for new mining projects – designing your plant in such a way as to allow for production to begin in the shortest possible

timeframe while planning for further plant and process development. To use the age old adage ‘the customer is always right’, if mining companies are looking for equipment that can be more efficiently deployed, that can process increasingly difficult materials and that are is suitable for staged investment then it is the responsibility of equipment manufacturers to meet these requirements.

In looking at how we can do this I will look at a number of issues which can be categorised under these headings:

Built with the application in mind1. Modularity2. Intelligent Process Integration3. A phased approach to design & 4. deliverySystem adaptability5. Mobility – without compromise6. A turnkey approach7.

Built with the application in mind1.

Every project presents its own unique challenges. When we look at the raw material there are a several factors which will influence the selection of the appropriate processing system. The quality of the ore is the first issue to consider. In addition to this we need to analyse the level of contamination within the material that needs to be removed. This could be sticky plastic clay that requires a logwasher to provide the necessary attrition. In the case of iron ore processing we will also have to consider the levels of silica and alumina contamination which if they are not removed will lead to inefficiencies in downstream steel production processes. The presence of all of these materials necessitates that every project is considered as a stand-alone system and designed, specified and constructed individually with a full understanding of the requirements of the project.

If we take this to its logical conclusion the response from equipment manufacturers to this scenario should be to produce tailored processing systems for every individual project in order to maximise process efficiency. This represents a major shift from the typical business model for equipment manufacturers – which is to produce a limited range of standard machines that can be applied

18Issue 03 | 2014



across a wide range of applications. Using standard machines presents a problem, and requires end users of the equipment to accept that they will have to compromise on performance , if they do not intend to run the equipment within the designed operating parameters. .

While the vast majority of equipment manufacturers will tell you that tailoring each individual project is not possible – the reality is that it is entirely possible. Our experience in the mining sector has shown that there are a number of individual considerations that need to be made in order to maximise the efficiency of the final processing system.

The selection of the appropriate screening media is very important – polyurethane is almost always the best match for mining projects but not all polyurethane is equal. Due consideration must be given to the abrasiveness & specific gravity of the material to ensure that the most suitable product is specified.

The choice of lining for any hydrocyclones also requires individual consideration – rubber lining may well be suitable on some materials but others will demand ceramic linings when dealing with highly abrasive mineral ores.

Consideration should also be given to the requirement for additional wear liners at specific points in the system. Easily replaceable wear liners at the feed point will have a positive impact on plant availability by minimising the time required for maintenance.

The appropriate conveyor belt specification will also require individual treatment based on the nature of the material to be processed. Enhanced top cover thickness will enhance wear resistance, maximise plant productivity and reduce costs of operation through a reduction in the spare parts requirement. Staying with conveyors, the inclusion of belt cleaning systems such as tungsten tipped scraper blades will also offer enhanced wear resistance.

The specification of appropriate pumps is also critical in an effort to ensure they will stand up to the rigours of the material to be processed.

19Issue 03 | 2014



Modularity2.

A rise in the popularity of modular processing systems on mining projects has been evident over the last number of years. One of the major motivations for a move in this direction from our own perspective was a focus on Transfer Point Technology – ensuring the efficient transition of material from one stage of processing to another. The direct result of this approach is to maximise material retention within the circuit and avoid bottlenecks within the system where the discharge point from one processing phase is not optimised for seamless delivery to the next stage.

There are numerous advantages to this approach – greater process efficiency and reduced installation and commissioning time being the most obvious. All of this works together to ensure you are able to start extracting value from your material as quickly as possible.

In most, if not all mining projects there will be a requirement to integrate third party equipment within the processing system so it is also important that designers are aware of the likely connections that will need to be made and consider this very early on in the design process. This will streamline the project design process and ensure that once the system is up and running it operates at maximum efficiency.

The third party equipment that CDE has most experience with when designing processing systems for mining projects are attrition cells, spiral classifiers, decanter centrifuges and filter presses. Through the development of partnerships with suppliers of these systems we can ensure that our focus on Transfer Point Technology does not stop at our own products but extends to this 3rd party equipment as well. As a result of our focus on tailoring each system we are also able to manage the introduction of new equipment to our systems as and when required.

Intelligent Process Integration3.

Intelligent Process Integration involves the introduction of several different processing phases onto a single chassis. Aligned with the previous point on modularity this allows for transfer point efficiency to be maximised. Additional advantages are a reduced plant footprint which results in a reduced civils requirement. These factors combine to reduce both the time required and the final cost of the project.

When feed systems, screening plant, fines processing, scrubbing systems are all provided as individual stand-alone units there will be a large amount of design time spent on designing civils and support structures to

accommodate all of this equipment. Once the equipment reaches site the time taken to mechanically install the plant will be longer than necessary as a result of having to put all of the individual components together.

The reduction in mechanical install time is delivered because all equipment undergoes a complete pre-build to its working position in a factory environment. This is a final quality control step that allows for any fabrication issues to be addressed before equipment is dispatched. Our focus on the delivery of wet processing systems means that this approach extends to ensuring all pipework connections are already established prior to dispatch – eliminating the requirement for cutting or preparation work on site, reducing install time and eliminating the requirement to source this pipework locally either because it has been damaged in transit or is missing from the items delivered to site.

Another significant advantage of integrating several processes onto a single chassis is that all equipment can be pre-wired and tested in a factory environment. Adding to the reduction in time taken for mechanical install, the electrical installation time is also reduced. It also has the advantage of making the electrical connections a design feature of the plant – cable runs and housings are part of the design process which not only improves the aesthetics of the plant but also enhances health and safety on site.

This approach also reduces the requirement to try and find local suppliers of cables and other electrical items – particularly relevant in any discussion concerning how to approach mining projects in remote locations.

A phased approach to project 4. delivery

Through a phased approach to project delivery it is possible to show a return on your investment much more quickly. The start of this process will be detailed discussions with your mining engineers to understand the specifics of the reserve – capacity requirements, likely requirements for future upgrades. This will also involve a detailed analysis of your material in an attempt to understand whether it is possible to kick start a project with a simple processing system which can then be added to as and when required.

For example, a detailed material analysis throughout the reserve will reveal whether there is a seam of relatively clean, uncontaminated material that requires minimal processing. Following this it can be determined at what

20Issue 03 | 2014



stage additional equipment may be required – for example a logwasher may need to be introduced to tackle claybound material or to help in the removal of other contaminants. Following this a third phase may be the introduction of primary stage water treatment and tailings management systems.

From an operational perspective the main advantage of adopting a phased approach is that rather than waiting for months on the delivery of a complex processing system, most of which will be under-utilised for a period of time you are able to take delivery of your first phase equipment in as little as 12 weeks. This allows you to begin to show a return on the investment very quickly which helps fund the future expansion of the plant when conditions dictate that it is necessary.

System Adaptability5.

We have touched on the variability that is inevitable within mining projects and what is required at the outset may change over time. Future developments with your business may require a capacity upgrade to meet a rise in demand for the material you are producing. We may come across an area of your reserve with particularly challenging material that will require the introduction of a new process. Space restrictions on site or future environmental legislation may require the introduction of a tailings management system.

Given this potential for circumstances to change, it is essential that your processing system has the in-built flexibility to respond to these changes. We can’t predict the future but through a comprehensive analysis of your material we can identify whether for example there is likely to be a requirement for an additional process to be introduced and when this is likely to happen given your extraction plan for the reserve.

If we have established that your business plan indicates a likely requirement for additional capacity as extraction progresses we will design the civils on site to take this into account – minimising disruption to your operation. We will also bear this in mind when considering the location of the processing plant in the first instance to ensure that once any upgrade is required the original location is still suitable. Another step that we will take is to ensure that the original conveyor specification is fit to cope with the forecasted additional capacity both in terms of belt specification and stockpile capacity.

Similarly, if additional processing equipment is likely to be required this can be considered during the design of the original plant civils. We will also conduct a detailed

21Issue 03 | 2014



analysis of the likely future water and power requirement once the additional equipment has been added to make sure that this infrastructure is in place.

Mobility without compromise6.

Mobile makes sense. As your extraction progresses it makes sense that your processing plant should be able to be moved within the deposit to ensure maximum operational efficiencies are delivered. With a static processing plant this is not possible. As your extraction progresses your operational efficiency is reduced – increased transport movements on site as vehicles have to haul material greater distances to the processing plant, unnecessary double handling of your material as it is stockpiled at the extraction point before being delivered to the processing plant. By opting for modular equipment which integrates several processes on a single, easily transportable chassis you ensure that your processing plant can be moved quickly and easily within the deposit – or to another processing location – in order to maximise operational efficiencies.

This should be done without compromising on the specification of the screens, fines washing plants or logwashers that are included. The creation of a modular

product range fit for purpose in mining projects should involve the same specification of equipment as would be included on a static plant.

One of the major areas of compromise on mobile plant is with the walkways – ladders leading to very narrow walkways are the norm on most mobile machines. This makes plant maintenance very awkward, – increasing the time and therefore the cost of carrying out plant maintenance. Site health and safety rules may also be compromised.

This is why we believe that even on mobile or portable plant the walkways for access and maintenance should be of the same specification as would be found on a static plant. This ensures that you continue to enjoy all the benefits of a static plant in relation to maintenance access – ease of visual inspection, access to change screen media ,media, replace spray bars, and carryand carry out hydrocyclone maintenance.

The issue of maintenance access is often overlooked when a processing plant is being specified but it is a very important consideration as it is a factor which will have considerable influence on plant availability and delivering the highest standards of health and safety on site.

A turnkey approach7.

It is evident from the analysis of all the aspects that make up a successful mining project in the 21st century that a much greater level of interaction between equipment manufacturer and the end user is required in order to deliver successful projects. With the many considerations that need to be made there is potential for a huge number of vendors to be involved on each and every project and this requires that a robust Project Management system is in place.

Our own process is split into three distinct phases:

Technical Pre-Sales 1. ProMan2. CustomCare3.

Each of these phases include large amount of work. In Technical Pre-Sales the elements include process design, equipment selection, mechanical design, civil

22Issue 03 | 2014



design and 3rd party equipment integration. As we move into the delivery phase of the project ProMan takes over and includes factory testing, power distribution, risk management, scheduling, budget management, construction management and quality control. Once your plant has been successfully installed and commissioned our range of After-Sales services are activated including our MasterClass training programmes, service visits, recommended spare parts lists and on-going maintenance contracts.

The effect of being able to offer this complete range of services in addition to the equipment that we provide is to significantly reduce the number of vendors involved in the project, the result of which is a more streamlined project timeline which costs less to deliver. Effective communication is crucial to the delivery of successful materials processing projects and our process provides you with a dedicated single point of contact throughout the project lifecycle to ensure you remain fully informed at every stage of the project. Another advantage of this approach is that it helps to develop both our knowledge of your business and your knowledge of our capability which will allow both parties to explore the potential for further co-operation in the future.

In ConclusionIt is clear to all involved in the delivery of mining projects

in the 21st century that there are many complex issues to overcome. The demands of the industry are constantly evolving and it is essential that the products offered by equipment manufacturers continue to evolve. It is equally important that equipment manufacturers develop their processes and approach to project delivery in order to continue to meet the demands of the industry.

In summary, I believe there are 3 main considerations in this analysis of how equipment manufacturers can continue to supply mineral processing systems that are fit for purpose.

The individual components that make 1. up a complete processing plant cannot be looked at in isolation and should instead be made up of modular systems with the in-built flexibility to cope with shifts and changes in individual project circumstances.

Off the shelf processing systems from 2. a collection of different manufacturers will not deliver the efficiency required of 21st century mining projects. A tailored

approach is required with each individual project being built according to the specific requirements of the project – capacity, feed material and potential for future development.

Equipment manufacturers must get closer to 3. the project and the end-user and understand the background, the specific objectives and the plans for future development. For most equipment manufacturers this requires a huge shift in the way their business models are constructed. Our business has always been constructed on the principle that direct contact with the end-user is critical to success. We have been delivering projects in this manner for over 20 years and our project portfolio across all the sectors in which we operate is evidence of its success.

Supported by the European Union’s Eco-Innovation Fund, the new advanced processing system for construction, demolition and excavation (CD&E) materials includes new product developments from CDE Global such as the feed arrangement to the plant, enhanced mobility, reduced plant footprint, improved maintenance access and developments at the sludge management stage of the process. The project will operate under the acronym CANDY – “CompAct, highly mobile, Next generation, CD&E waste recoverY system”.

Custom-Designed The process begins with the R2500 primary scalping unit,

a new CDE machine designed specifically for this project. Material is delivered to the R2500 hopper, which has a capacity of 20 tonnes. The +100mm material is removed while the -100mm material is delivered to the M2500 mobile washing plant.

The R2500 comes fitted with an apron feeder, which eliminates the danger of belt piercing due to the presence of metals or impact from oversize material. The large capacity of the feed hopper allows for the plant operator to charge fill the plant and still be able to undertake additional work on-site.

“By using the R2500, operational efficiencies can be significantly improved, as you do not require a dedicated vehicle for loading the plant,” CDE Global’s senior R&D engineer Gareth Kenwell said.

A new processing plant for construction, demolition and excavation waste has undergone final commissioning in Stuttgart, Germany. The plant has been installed by materials washing specialist CDE Global and includes a series of product developments aimed at improving the quality of recycled sand and aggregates produced from CD&E materials.

The R2500 also includes the latest laminate side wall design on the integrated screen. This patent pending technology results in a much stronger, but lighter screen, which reduces the power requirement while enhancing screening performance. The screen is a bolted design, which is a feature of the CDE ProGrade screen range.

“Bolted structures are much more robust than welded structures,” Kenwell said.

“Throughout the ProGrade screen range there is minimal use of welding, which significantly reduces stress and therefore increases plant life.”

From the R2500, the -100mm material is delivered to the M2500 mobile washing plant. An extended feed boot on the M2500 feed conveyor ensures maximum material retention and from there the material is delivered to the integrated ProGrade P2-75 rinsing screen.

The top deck of the screen removes the 45-100mm material to an oversize stockpile. The bottom deck of the screen collects the 8-45mm material for delivery to the AggMax portable logwasher.

The 0-8mm material gathers in the ProGrade sump before being pumped to the integrated EvoWash sand washing plant.

CDE Global Ltd | RecyclingStuttgart | Germany

24Issue 03 | 2014



The EvoWash dewatering screen is split to allow the production of two sand products. The 0-8mm material is first delivered directly to one side of the dewatering screen, where a 2-8mm material is dewatered and stockpiled via an integrated 9m stockpile conveyor with a capacity of 150m3.

The 0-2mm material falls through to the EvoWash sump before being pumped to the hydrocyclone, which removes the -63 micron (μ) material. The 0-2mm sand slurry is discharged via the cyclone underflow to the EvoWash dewatering screen before being dewatered and stockpiled via another integrated 9m stockpile conveyor.

Dewatering ProcessProduction of clean, recycled aggregates is delivered

by the AggMax portable logwasher, which accepts the 8-45mm material from the bottom deck of the ProGrade screen.

An overband magnet on the feed conveyor to the AggMax removes any ferrous metals, which are subsequently discharged to a skip positioned under the feed conveyor.

The AggMax includes the RotoMax RX80 logwasher, a triple-deck ProGrade sizing screen and a trash screen. Material enters the RotoMax and is subjected to high attrition from the two counter rotating shafts, each fitted with high cast chrome paddles.

This subjects the CD&E waste material to the attrition required to ensure effective breakdown of clays, liberation of silt and fine sand particles and efficient removal of lightweight and organic contaminants.

The AggMax includes both side and rear discharge points for water, sand and silt removal, which ensures the minimum amount of fines reaches the main discharge point at the front of the machine.

This waste discharge is delivered to the integrated trash screen, which dewaters the material and discharges to a skip. Any liberated fines are returned to the EvoWash sand washing plant to maximise material recovery.

The scrubbed 8-45mm recycled aggregates are discharged from the RotoMax to a triple deck ProGrade P3-36 sizing screen.

This screen includes spray bars to give the washed recycled aggregates a final rinse before being stockpiled. Any fines that make it to this stage of processing are once again returned to the EvoWash.

There is a large focus on maximising plant life on the AggMax, with a number of features including rubber lined product chutes, a rubber lined feed box and replaceable impact plates at the point of delivery from the RotoMax to the ProGrade sizing screen.

The recycled aggregates are stockpiled as 8-16mm, 16-32mm and 32-45mm products. The wastewater containing the -63μ material is then delivered to the AquaCell sludge concentrator.

This is another of the new product developments from CDE Global on the CANDY project, and is a development of its AquaCycle thickener technology.

The AquaCell is a rectangular unit measuring 12m x 2.4m. The upper tank accepts the waste feed from the plant, which is dosed with flocculent. There are four separate collection cones where settled sludge gathers before being delivered to a buffer tank. Tests conducted during plant commissioning reveal a sludge concentration of 663g per litre of solids in the sludge discharged from the AquaCell.

From the buffer tank the sludge is then delivered to a decanter centrifuge for further dewatering. A screw conveyor discharges the centrifuge cake to a stockpile.

Australian ApplicationFollowing final commissioning of the CANDY project, CDE

will continue to gather performance data from the plant, which will process a range of different waste materials.

Through a partnership with Stuttgart University, extensive material testing will be conducted to establish the suitability of the plant’s recycled sand and aggregates for use in high value construction applications such as concrete and asphalt.

CDE’s regional director for Australia Terry Ashby has indicated there is potential for the Australian quarry industry to engage in the budding CD&E market.

“We are involved in discussions with a number of companies in Australia that are investigating the viability of one of our advanced processing systems for CD&E waste and we hope that the results from the CANDY project will demonstrate the potential that exists to move recycled sand and aggregates up the value chain,” Ashby said.

“Their use is concentrated in low value applications currently – roadbase or general fill – and what we know from our experience with these systems over the past decade is that by using the right processing technology you can produce material that commands a much higher price and reduces pressure on natural reserves.”

Ashby said pressure on natural reserves was something operators in major urban centres were all too familiar with.

“A number of factors are combining to drive demand for our C&D waste recycling systems,” Ashby said. “A shortage of natural sand, particularly in the Sydney and Melbourne areas, ever increasing fuel costs driving the costs of transport upwards, and increasing pressure on limited landfill space mean we predict a surge in demand for systems such as ours in the very near future.”

CDE will be organising several open week events for the CANDY project over the coming months and further information will be published on the dedicated project website: www.cdecandyproject.com

SANDVIk CONSTRUCTION CI512 PRISECTM HSI CRUSHER: Largest marble quarry in Russia gets 1st CI512 PrisecTM HSI

First in Russia Koelga Marble is the biggest producer of marble and

related products in Russia, with the company itself being created over 90 years ago. One of the largest in the marble quarries in the world, and the largest in Russia, the marble products produced at the quarry are used widely for in building, construction and decoration all over Russia and, increasingly, abroad. In fact the company is the acknowledged market leader in the production of micro-powders, producing, and selling, 40,000 tons of such materials each month, as well as 25,000 tons of various “rubble” fractions. The latter, when crushed, being used in the production of home building panels, or concrete floors with marble chips.

Sandvik Construction recently launched the all new range of CI500 Prisec TM Horizontal Shaft Impact (HSI) crushers. These new generation crushers provides customers with a low capital cost solution, optimum performance and good cubical shape, whilst ensuring the lowest operating cost per ton for a wide range of materials and applications. The new HSI crushers possess the ability to be configured into either a primary or secondary crusher operating mode, and with this unique, exclusive to Sandvik, patented design, provides customers with unparalleled adaptability. The CI512 Prisec TM has proved to be particularly successful improving the product quality and efficiency of one of the world’s largest marble producers in Russia.

The first Sandvik Construction CI512 PrisecTM HSI crusher in Russia has been acquired by Koelga Marble. Purchased in November 2013 the crusher is working at the famous Koelga Quarry, the largest Russian marble quarry, and one of the world’s largest. Supplied by Sandvik’s Russian distributor, Quarry Service, the CI512 PrisecTM operates 24hrs each day, has improved the cubicity of the end product and increased productivity by up to 50% whilst decreasing noise pollution.

27Issue 03 | 2014



It is due to the nature of the marble itself, and the high quality products that they are required to produce, that made Koelga Marble realize that they required a new, modern, highly productive, yet adaptable and environmentally friendly, crushing solution. Experiments with various cone crushers had proved unsatisfactory, with low production and low end product quality resulting. However following discussions with Sandvik Construction in Russia, as well as crushing specialists together with Sandvik’s distributor for stationary crushing and screening products, Quarry Service, the company made the decision to purchase the CI512 Prisec TM Horizontal Shaft Impact crusher. This has not been a decision that Koelga Marble has regretted.

Since acquiring the CI512 in November 2013 the HSI has been in almost continuous operation 24 hours per day. Scheduled and pro-active service stops have meant that productivity has been increased, and operational efficiency maximized as only 1 operator is needed to supervise the process. Furthermore through the use of the revolutionary attributes of the CI512 Koelga Marble has managed to increase the quality of the end product in terms of the cubic shape, and decrease the noise pollution by significant amounts. At the same time the productivity of the production process has increased by 40-50%.

Exceptional reduction ratiosThe benefits Koelga Marble has enjoyed are not

surprising given Sandvik’s revolutionary all new design of crushing chamber which ensures even greater reduction ratios than have been previously obtainable. The company is now able to produce a consistent 0-2.5 mm fraction, which was not possible using their existing cone crushers. This is due to the fact that the Prisec TM crushers are able to easily produce impressive reduction ratios through the use of two uniquely designed curtains, which have traditionally required a three curtain configuration crusher. As well as enhanced productivity, this means fewer wear parts and reduced maintenance.

Energy efficient overload protectionThe CI512 Prisec TM used by Koelga Marble is equipped

with an infinite hydraulic curtain adjustment combined with a brake positioning system which relieves pressure, and setting, when un-crushable objects enter the crusher.

28Issue 03 | 2014



No hydraulic power is required during normal operation, thus saving on operating power and reducing total power consumption. Both first and second curtains are infinitely adjustable via the Sandvik’s patented adjustment / braking system which is located on the cross beams of the crusher. This system gives hydraulic adjustment of both curtains, via the standard supply electric hydraulic power pack.

Dealing with crusher blockagesCrusher blockages have always historically been a

problem at Koelga Marble, especially when operating in a primary mode. Removal of the blockage, with the combined downtime and health and safety risks encountered, are now eliminated with the new generation Sandvik Prisec TM crusher. Due to the exceptional features of the CI512 no stopping of the crusher is necessary, with no operator intervention inside the crusher, no heavy lifting gear required, all resulting in maximum uptime and reduced health and safety problems. This has allowed the Koelga Marble CI512 to be operated by a single person.

Rotor and hammer designThe rotor and hammers can be considered as the heart

of the crusher; this is why those used on the Prisec TM range are both robust and efficient. Rotors have superior weight and design, essential for delivering the high inertia required for optimum crusher performance, thus ensuring stability and smooth operation during production. The unique “banana” shaped self-sharpening hammer design helps to keep the contact heads sharper during operation, resulting in more effective shearing of the incoming material, and hence improved production.

Easy and Safe maintenanceA unique key safety interlock system ensures safe

maintenance of the crusher and prevents accidental opening of the crusher and inspection doors even in multiple installations. It also allows the ability to raise curtains during operation without stopping the crusher to clear blockages, and re-set automatically to operating setting. This maximizes uptime and reduces the need for heavy lifting gear and operator / maintenance intervention, thereby reducing further Health & Safety risks.

Maximum uptime, Maximum breakageThrough the modularized nature of the Prisec TM range,

wear parts can be turned for maximum life/usage with the same size being used across the whole range of crushers. In addition, Sandvik’s world leading technology in the hammer and liner material composition provides options far surpassing old industry standard of manganese, resulting in even lower operating cost per ton and the ability to operate efficiently in a variety of materials.

Customer focused developmentKoelga Marble has benefited from the world leading

benefits and advantages of the CI512 Prisec TM Horizontal Shaft Impact crusher. Low operating cost per ton, improved cubicity of the end product and increased productivity by upto 50%, as well as reduced noise pollution, are due to Sandvik Construction’s patented technology, which places Sandvik at the forefront of HSI design and development.

FWWCC wants innovative machinesAlthough it competes with multinational companies,

FWWCC has maintained an edge by implementing astute and innovative business practices. So the Whitcomb family is always eager to have newest technology and high quality standards, and after the Conexpo in Las Vegas 2011 they decided to expand their range of machinery with a Rockster R1200/R1100 DUPLEX system. It allows to operate a jaw as well as an impact crusher on one basic machine what increases the variety of possible applications and efficiency of the machine enormously. FWWCC wanted

With over 81 years in the construction industry, Frank W. Whitcomb Construction Corp. (FWWCC) is one of the largest Paving and Highway Construction Businesses in New Hampshire and Vermont and has established a reputation as a high quality road contractor. With 110 employees working for the company, it is specialized in quarry rock crushing, portable crushing, paving/road construction, and excavation.

to be flexible with the DUPLEX system and need the jaw crusher mainly for helping out in the quarry when the stationary jaw has a failure and they need to keep the production moving. Moreover it is great for getting the material down to size before putting it through the impactor. But most jobs are done with the impact crusher in asphalt or concrete recycling.

Experiences of the first US company with Rockster’s R1200/1100 DUPLEX

FWWCC is the first company in the US using the biggest available DUPLEX system and has meanwhile two years of experience with this plant.

Frank Tyler Whitcomb tells: “Our Rockster machine R1200/1100 Duplex has been a wonderful addition to our company. We utilize it mainly as impact crusher in the production of recycled asphalt pavement for use as base course material for rebuilding the road. Last year we removed concrete slabs from a roadway in northern Vermont and used the Rockster to crush the concrete and blend it into the sub base gravel used in the reconstruction of the roadway. The concrete is debris from projects and is added to virgin material as a form of recycling material instead of wasting it.

Sub base gravel is virgin quarry stone that is crushed for sale in our quarry and used for base on our roadway projects.

We have even used the crusher with the interchangeable jaw down in our quarry in Colchester, VT producing sub base gravel when our primary, stationary crushed was down for repair at the end of last year.”

High degree of capacity utilization

This year the machine has been all over the state crushing rap, concrete, and sub base gravel. The company had little down time and great production numbers from the unit all summer long. In principle they would offer their crushing services also to other companies but during the last two years owning the Rockster crusher they have stayed very busy with the machine. „The machine has worked fabulously ever since, it is in production 10-12 hours a day 6 days a week for about 7-8 months a year“, says Whitcomb.

Furthermore the employees operating the machine especially applaud the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the design.

They would recommend this machine to all of their associates in the construction industry but are also proud of being a nice step ahead having such a great machine that not many others have in their fleet.

ARGENTINA: Rockster had the right solution

Alquimac SRL is a well established engineering and road construction company, located in the middle of Argentina and employing 450 people. They have a variety of huge road building projects and therefore they need reliable and powerful machines.

First decision - the purchase of a R1100The ease of maintenance and service and the optimal

dimensions of the Rockster crushers were good arguments for the Austrian manufacturer. Also the skyrocketing

A road building company in Argentina faced a serious problem. A new road had to be built but there was no fine grade material available in this area because the next quarry was too far and the only available material was very dirty. Rockster Recycler offered the perfect solution for this requirement - the impact crusher R1100 in combination with the scalping screen RSS515.

costs of fuel and transport in the last years and the great distances in Argentina made the decision on investing in the mobile impact crusher R1100 equipped with the screen box RS94 and the return belt RB85.

„Because of the 32 tons total weight, a modern and robust design and an impressive crushing performance of about 350 to/h, the R1100 is the perfect product for large-scale jobs where you still need a compact and transport-friendly machine“, says the CEO of Alquimac, Mauricio Pascucci. Furthermore the R1100 is equipped with a fully hydraulic system and features a 2-step pre-screener. This

ensures beneath a maximum pre-screening quality also an increase of throughput rate, a reduction of wear costs and a perfect separation of final material. With the additional screen box and return belt the road constructor is able to produce high quality grains in one workflow.

Second decision - the additional screening plant RSS515

A challenging project was a 50 km road building project where there was no possibility to get quality material and there were no quarries within a 30 km radius. So Alquimac had to find a solution that fits these exceptional conditions. The available material, limestone with more than 80 percent fines, needed to be prepared in a cost-effective way to high quality material. Rockster offered the specific solution: Mr. Agustín Holt, Rockster‘s South American country manager, suggested using the new scalping screen RSS515, additionally to the R1100 impact crusher,

which is the perfect product for separating very difficult material. The robust design with low machine weight, the low feeding height and the fuel savings up to 25 percent impressed the customers. “All Rockster machines are equipped with hydrostatic power, exactly delivered when it‘s needed. Moreover they have a fully hydraulic operating system and compact transport dimensions” argued Mr. Holt.

The RSS515 has two side conveyors which transport two already separated pre cut materials (0/6 mm and 6/19 mm) and one oversize belt which conveys the clean stone into the Rockster crusher. With this system Alquimac is getting a 100 percent defined final grain. “Now we can increase drastically the throughput of our Rockster R1100 and meet our production targets”, says Mr. Pascussi.

The combination of the scalping screen RSS515 and the mobile Impact crusher R1100 is the perfect solution for Alquimac.

The Rockster-Technology: Perfect for Asphalt-Recycling

Rockster received real value calculations of a well-known Austrian operator of asphalt mixing plants and these are definitely impressive. Even with addition of only 10 % recycled asphalt the ROI of a Rockster R900 Impact crusher with screen box RS86 and return belt RB75 would be at a little over half a year. With most mixing systems, it is possible to add up to 25% of recycled asphalt as a cold addition, whereby the ROI would theoretically even be less than 4 months. In the same calculation, the savings for bitumen are calculated. So from this well known costly material, derived from crude oil 1,200 tons can be saved in the same period by using 25% recycled asphalt. The fact that this recycling process additionally protects the environment, is undoubtedly an expedient side effect. But not only the final material, also accepting the delivery of broken asphalt assures these companies additional earnings and saves landfill costs.

The recycling of broken asphalt is more profitable for the processors than calculated, and it also protects the environment. Tests of various machines carried out by different customers showed that Rockster ‚s technology is ideally suited for recycling of old asphalt.

Why is Rockster such a good choice for Asphalt-Recycling?

Rockster‘s 2-swing-beam system allows to independently •adjust the swing-beams

Exact adjustment of the crushing gap to specify the final grain •size and reach a simple modification of the grading curve

The oversized rotor diameter causes an increase of the im-•pact power and a more efficient crushing process

The hydrostatic drive allows an infinite adjustment of the ro-•tor speed (control of fines) and therefore an easily controlled screening curve

Another advantage of the hydrostatic drive is, that no wear costs emerge, as with clutch or clutch-similar drives, and the direction of rotation can be changed (especially important for the duplex system).

Most of these points are unique features of Rockster and ensure excellent performance with the best final grain quality. It is therefore possible to achieve any desired screening curve by simple adjustments to the crusher. This is a fact that plays a big role in the asphalt recycling industry because there are exact guidelines for the screening curve when using recycled material for the production of new asphalt.

Jobstories of Rockster-clientsSome customers of Rockster are specialized in recycling

of asphalt and can consistently pull positive balances.

Trummer: Asphalt-Recycling specialist with impact crusher R1100 - Rockster-customer for about 6 years

Martin Trummer, CEO of Trummer Maschinenhandel & Aufbereitung GmbH in Styria, who uses an impact crusher R1100 with screen box, says: „For asphalt crushed to 0-32 mm I reach a performance of almost 200t / h with my impact crusher R1100, which is an extremely good value from experience with other crushers. I have been used the R1100 for 4 years now and it is still in top form. You can always see further development of Rockster‘s products, we constantly notice technological progress, which I find remarkable. You can see that customer requests and suggestions for improvement from experiences in the field are implemented quickly.“

The ARGE Recycling (formerly Naegele-construction) from Vorarlberg uses a Rockster impact crusher R900 with screen box and return belt for treatment of RAP. Environmental awareness and resource conservation have a great significance in the company and thus they have specialized in the recycling of asphalt and construction debris.

„The first argument for purchasing a Rockster crushing plant was the outstanding performance,“ says operations manager Simon Nicolussi. „With the combination of screen box and return belt, we can produce high quality final grain at 0 % oversize, which can be sold very well. The compact transport measures of the R900 was another important factor, as we do not only crush at our company site, but also at our customer’s places. Also the customer service of Rockster has convinced us from the beginning, we felt that we were cooperating with a competent and reliable team.“

Compact and yet powerful: Thanner in Tyrol trusts in the R700S for his demolition and recycling business

Since better recovery through clean separation is becoming more and more important, economic dismantling and recycling procedures are required. Christian and Markus Thanner, Managing Directors of Thanner GmbH, state: „Especially in connection with buildings you can see that a minimization of the total cost is achieved by controlled demolition.“ For that reason, they have upgraded in their field of demolition and recycling and invested in a Rockster R700S impact crusher in late summer of last year.

At Bauma 2013 in Munich Markus Thanner first met Franz Haberl (Haberl Baumaschinen GmbH) - Rockster distribution partner in Austria - and convinced himself of the benefits of the most compact plant in the Rockster portfolio. „Especially the design of the machine, the manufacture, the screen box and the return belt I liked immediately. Too, the fully hydraulic approach I found immediately expedient,“ Thanner describes his first impressions.

The Thanner GmbH, headquartered in Hart/Zillertal in Tyrol is known for its diverse applications. Whether protection structures, excavation, demolition or recycling, Markus Thanner and his team always do their jobs with a lot of effort and have many years of experience.

No construction site is too small, no forest path too narrow

Due to the compactness of Rockster‘s R700S it is easy for the team of Thanner to ship the plant with their own truck and smallest jobs are thus easily feasible.

Thanner is also specialized in the construction of forest roads and often has to climb on narrow forest roads up to 1,800 meters in altitude with the machines. With the R700S, the material is then processed for road construction (picture 1 and 3 in use with limestone) on site, and this allows so save about 50 truck loads per day and moreover saves a lot of time and also protects the environment.

40Issue 03 | 2014



Screening system for high-quality asphalt granulate

In Thanner‘s asphalt operations RAP is processed into asphalt granulate which is used as an adjunct in the road again. Especially for these jobs he appreciates the Rockster screening system. The screen box RS73 and the return belt RB65 make the R700S a complete package for creating quality grain in one operation. The return belt is also designed for a quick and easy use as stockpile belt. For dust suppression he regularly uses the sprinkler system, which is very effective, and according to Thanner it does simply work with a connected hosepipe.

Collected experience Meanwhile, the machine was in use for over 500 hours

and Markus Thanner is still convinced of Rockster: „The two adjustable swing beams are a great advantage, my team hadn‘t have any blockage so far, what makes them work faster and more efficiently.“ The good accessibility for all service and maintenance work is also emphasized, as the excellent support of Rockster and Haberl. „I am really more than satisfied with this great machine,“ says the entrepreneur.

Everything from a single source: Flexible and reliable solutions - the Rockster impactor R900 is an important part of this business model

With the motto „No stone is too hard and no distance too far“ the specialists have been working with mobile crushing plants for almost 20 years and have a lot of experience both in the trading with crushers as well as in using them.

In the fall of 2013, the contractors Mr. Polixmair Junior & Senior, decided to buy the impact crusher Rockster R900 including screenbox and return belt.

Less than 30 tons was a Must-HaveA main argument for Rockster were the optimal transport

dimensions and a weight of only 28.5 tons, including screenbox and return belt, which also don‘t have to be dismantled for transport. „We have our customers all over

Austria and plan our tours very precisely. Complicated transport handling and bureaucracy limit our flexibility and our conversion rate for each project. Therefore it is very important for us to keep the logistics as simple as possible. The R900 fits to our own trailer perfectly, just as we imagined it,“ says Ferdinand Polixmair jun. Moreover with the legal permission, the machine is ready for use on any site immediately

Approx. 90,000 tons of construction waste on „Semmelrock“ construction site

Recent big project is the demolition work and waste recycling of a huge Semmelrock plant that was closed in Traismauer (Lower Austria). From the preparation (chiseling work, scaling, etc.) to the final material - separated from iron - Polixmair offers everything from one source. „In my opinion, it is much more efficient and even cheaper for customers, to choose one contractor for the entire project. Own drivers or machinists have much more experience

with the machines and ensure a smooth operation, the customers doesn‘t need to care about any downtime or troubles“ says Ferdinand Polixmair jun.

Five major road trains with iron have already been sorted out with the iron magnetic separator of the R900 crusher. The project is planned on 4 periods each 5 weeks (including preparation time), with each more than 20,000 tons of construction waste to be processed. Especially floor slabs and paving stones with a length of about 300-400mm are crushed, the majority of the final material has 0-16mm in diameter and will be picked up and sold by the gravel company Weber/Austria.

The second focus - asphalt recycling In addition to the recycling of concrete and demolition

debris Polixmair is specialist in asphalt recycling and therefore he only uses the Rockster R900 impactor. His clients are mainly asphalt mixing plants. He crushes old asphalt/RAP with lengths of up to 1000mm with the use of screenbox and return belt to a final grain size of 0-16mm. This recycled asphalt is used in full for the new production of asphalt, that saves the mixer a lot of money for bitumen and also protects the environment.

Hydraulic concept simplifies individualization

„Especially when it comes to asphalt recycling, it is important for us to produce high-quality final grain and meet all our clients‘ requirements. Due to the hydraulic concept of Rockster machines, the speed of the crusher, the conveyors, the screen,... everything can be continuously adjusted, so it is simple to adapt perfectly to every material and grading curve without much effort. The crusher is also very easy to operate and maintenance work on the machine can be done quickly and effectively,“ concludes Polixmair jun.

Impact crusher and jaw crusher in one machine: VERSATILE - FLEXIBLE - Rockster‘s DUPLEX

To solve this problem, Rockster has developed the duplex system which has been patented for already 7 years now. It enables the exchange of impact crusher and jaw crusher and vice versa on one basic chassis within a few hours. This technology allows flexible recycling, operating with hard stone, asphalt, concrete or any other C&D. The hydrostatic drive system provides the technical base for this highly sophisticated system: It allows a continuous variation of the crusher speed as well as a clockwise or anti-clockwise operation of the crusher (or vice versa).

Through this drive system Rockster‘s customers have the advantages of a great operation convenience, and due to the absence of a conventional clutch it is free of wear. Moreover the maintenance is simple and high performance

Like a Rockster client from Colombia, many construction and preparation companies are facing the challenge of finding the optimal crushing technique for every particular application. The acquisition of different types of machines in order to adapt to different applications rapidly, can be very time consuming and costly.


across all applications due to an optimal adaptation to the various requirements is guaranteed.

Difficult jobsite for the R800-R900 duplex system in the Colombian jungle

Alfredo Contecha, CEO of the Colombian road construction company „Ingeneria de Vias“ and his team had a hard job to do: In the middle of the Colombian jungle, they should turn very hard and polluted river gravel (0-500 mm) into high quality, cubic final material. To prove the promised flexibility and ease of handling, the DUPLEX

45Issue 03 | 2014



system was subject to a hard practical test by Contecha and his team. After starting the job at 7:00 AM the machine ran for two hours as the jaw crusher R800 produced about 300 tons of pre-crushed material (0-250 mm). The subsequent conversion to the impact crusher R900 was finished at 12:30 PM. At 2:00 PM the impact crusher had finished crushing and produced final grain of 0-25 mm. Hence, it was changed back to jaw crusher and at about 6 PM they could start again with primary crushing. Both changes during one day ran smoothly, although the high humidity, time pressure and a high altitude of the location didn‘t offer very favorable conditions.

Mr. Contecha was impressed: „We needed a mobile machine with high capacity and a wide range of application possibilities and tested the R800-R900 DUPLEX solution. We took advantage of the jaw crusher for the coarse material and then the impact crusher with screenbox and return belt for secondary crushing. The rapid change of jaw to impact crusher was amazing, and above all the results after crushing with the R900 impactor were convincing: Cubic, clean and classified grain in one operation.

With these excellent results I can save a lot of money because the higher the cubic material percentage is, the less need of expensive powder cement I have for producing cement.“ Rockster‘s R800-R900 DUPLEX is currently working 2 shifts in the Colombian jungles as it has taken over the work of two other machines with high wear costs. So, the performance and flexibility can be significantly improved by DUPLEX and high rental and operating costs for a second machine can be saved.

46Issue 03 | 2014



Even for the largest Rockster models such as the R1100 impact crusher there is a DUPLEX system for the change from impact to jaw crusher R1200 available. So, Rockster can provide this unique technology to a wide range of customers with a variety of different requirements.

The wheel loader L 580, that Liebherr is presenting at the Steinexpo 2014, is equipped with a piston rod guard for the tilt cylinder. Moreover, it is fitted as standard with a rear view camera.

Liebherr wheel loaders for safe quarrying operations

Liebherr wheel loaders are mainly employed in the quarrying industry for loading and transporting the materials extracted, but also for excavating from walls. They achieve the highest level of material handling performance while,

at the same time, keeping operating costs down. The determining factor for this is the combination of hydrostatic drive with Liebherr‘s own-developed electronic map-controlled Liebherr Power Efficiency (LPE) system. Compared with other machines in similar size categories, the innovative driveline concept cuts fuel consumption by as much as 25%.

The use of a hydrostatic travel drive makes it possible to install the diesel engine in a special position at the rear. Compared with conventionally driven machines, this leads to a higher tipping load at a considerably lower operating weight and more cycles per hour of operation.

The cabs of both machines have soundproofing as standard. Anti-slip steps and sturdy handrails provide safety; the fuel tank is made of steel. To protect the wheel loader during quarrying operations, a windscreen guard can also be ordered as an option.

Featuring the patented Doublescreen system, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary since its launch in 1999, this unique, world-class technology is a revolutionary design utilizing two high velocity screen boxes that work independently of each other; the primary screen works as a fines extractor, whilst the secondary screen operates as a grader. Doublescreen advantages over competing products include greater material control, greater adjustability, increased accuracy and higher screening efficiencies, making this unit ideal for producing massive volumes of high specification products, without compromising on productivity.

The QA441 is therefore ideal for large scale aggregates producers but lends itself to many applications including iron ore, topsoil, recycling, minerals, coal, sand and gravel.

SANDVIk UH450E: SANDVIk CONSTRUCTION TO UNVEIL THE NEW UH450E AT STEINEXPO – THE ULTIMATE CRUSHING AND SCREENING

UNIT IN ONE


Powerful, economical and “intelligent”, the UH450E is a revolutionary compact design which combines the reliability of the Sandvik cone crusher

with a recirculating conveyor and aggressive screening system.

Sandvik Construction’s UH450E is a world-class track-mounted crushing and screening innovation. It is the ideal economical choice for aggregates contractors looking to achieve the highest quality end products, at maximum production capacity, combined with low operating costs.

Built to customer’s requirements and with the highest quality components, the Sandvik UH450E is reliable and extremely economical to run. With the ability to operate via electrical mains or an onboard diesel generator, it offers one of the most powerful, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly mobile solutions on the market today.

It is truly versatile and can work either as a secondary or tertiary unit. Both the cone and screen come with a choice of crushing chambers and screening media respectively, and with a wide range of options available, it is adaptable to suit many different applications worldwide.

The UH450E has been designed with a pre-screen to optimize production and product quality, with the pre-screen also offering the operator flexibility in directing the flow of material. A pre-determined portion of the flow can be extracted on a side conveyor, be fed to the crusher or by-pass the crusher. The coarse material is fed directly into the Sandvik CH440 cone, which is a well proven design and renowned for its reliability. Material is then fed into the newly developed, highly effective, Sandvik product screen via the recirculating conveyor. This unique design operates via a tension-friction belt and enables excellent feed to the screen. The aggressive double-deck banana-styled screen features a steeper angle at the feed end to accelerate the removal of fines and gentler lower section increases screening accuracy.

conveyor. This permits a closed material cycle and thus the production of a defined final grain size. The oversized grain can be optionally discharged via the swivel-mounted return conveyor at the side. Similar to the other machines in the EVO line, the MCO 9 S is also driven by a powerful diesel direct drive, which together with the electric drives of the conveyor belts ensures very efficient operation. So that the power is also delivered to where it is needed, the crusher housing design was optimised and, as a result, over 160 kW of the total of 289 kW strong hydraulic drive is continuously available at the crusher. In combination with the large stroke of the cone crusher, this ensures a maximum throughput of up to 260 t/h. The plant can be transported with the classifying screen and weighs 38.5 tons. The classifying screen can also be easily transported

separately using the hook and lift system and weighs 5.5 tons on its own. The transport weight of the MCO 9 S is thus reduced to 33 tons.

Simple operation and optimal linkage options

The MCO 9 S is equipped with the same touch panel control system, which has already been tried and tested with the other EVO plants. Therefore, those who are familiar with this control system will not take long to adapt to the new control system.

unlike diesel engines, electric motors deliver full torque from the state within milliseconds, handle load cicles more efficiently and allow a continuous, constant speed of the crushing unit regardless of the engine’s load condition.

Use of electrification as a hybrid solutionIn the world of mobile crushers electricity is not often

available, so Rockster has implemented the strengths of an electric motor in a hybrid solution. The diesel engine operates nearly constant at optimal speed to drive the generator for the electric motor. The permanent-magnet technology guarantees a decrease of energy consumption, a better engine- and generator-performance, and maximum performance density with lower weight and smaller

R1100D becomes R1100DERockster’s “duplexable” impact crusher R1100D served

as the basis of the new machine. This crusher is known mainly for its robustness and its good performance with high crushing ratio of any material - from asphalt, concrete and demolition debris to hard virgin stone. The customer also wanted to increase its flexibility and ordered the preparation for DUPLEX, the patented system that allows switching from a jaw to an impact crusher (and vice versa) within a few hours. Thus, the system increases the ability to adapt to various customer needs and can process their orders more efficiently. However, to even enhance the efficiency of the machine to a maximum, the R&D department of Rockster developed a parallel hybrid solution in cooperation with a Finnish manufacturer of components. It is based on the electrification because,

rockster recycLer Gmbh A REVOLUTIONARY NEW TECHNOLOGY

Rockster successfully tested the first parallel hybrid impact crusherAs the EU‘s steadily declining limits for soot particles, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons for offroad machines, manufacturers of mobile plants are more and more requested to develop fuel consumption-, noise- and resource-saving technologies. Rockster has met the challenge and developed a completely new impact crusher for one of the largest French road construction companies.

components. Any load peaks are cushioned by condensers - so-called power caps - which buffer the energy. The fuel consumption is reduced and through the use of virtually maintenance-free electric motors also maintenance costs are minimized. With this technology you can save up to 16,000 liters of diesel annually.

Robust technology necessaryDue to frequent performance peaks and adverse

environmental conditions in outdoor use Rockster placed high demands on the material used. All e-components are water cooled and meet the IP65 standard. They are

specifically designed for usage in mobile construction machines and protected from dust, dirt and water. Moreover they are resistant to vibration and extreme temperature fluctuations.

Other highlightsThe four new variable displacement pumps for the

hydraulic system only supply the oil flow, which is actually needed, which reduces losses, saves fuel and ensures a consistently high pumping speed at low or varying diesel engine speed.

On the newly designed controller-display any machine parameters and settings are intuitive and easy to read. Carefully evaluated error messages increase a rapid determination and solution of failures and furthermore the ease of use increases the efficiency in the application and enrollment.

A hydraulic overload protection of the swing beams also improves the protection from inappropriate material and helps to avoid oversize material.

The unique return system, consisting of the two belt return or stockpile conveyor (known from Rockster’s R700S), is installed on one of Rockster’s bigger machines

for the first time. With this system dismantling for transport is no longer necessary. You can work with a closed circuit and produce 100% definable final grain as well as the use it as stockpile conveyor with a discharge height of approximately 4 meters.

Optionally, the R1100DE can also be ordered with a grid connection to operate the crusher all-electric. So further savings are possible, but the electricity in off-road terrain is not always guaranteed.

the crushing gap can be adjusted fully hydraulically and continuously, so the final material can be defined simply and easily and thus an exact screening curve is guaranteed. The conveying velocity continuously adapts the crusher load and the operating pressure of the main conveyor, which prevents overload and downtimes. If necessary, the vibrating feeder can be infinitely controlled manually via the remote control.

Constant development is the key to advanced products and so the new R1100DS is exactly in line with the philosophy of Rockster. Flexibility, rapid operational readiness, continuous performance improvements and thus more profit are the most important key terms. „We are optimizing our machines continuously so that we can offer the best option on the market for our customers. Fact is that our customers can cover a very broad market segment with the R1100, and there is much potential for this kind of machine.

Easy accessibility

By hydraulic cylinders on the screen box, it can be quickly and easily lowered for maintenance and exchange of the screens, also the connection and disconnection of the main belt is much easier.

Moreover the main conveyor can be quickly serviced or repaired by the new main conveyor belt service device. A permanently installed device carries the belt and keeps it in position, so you have easy access.

The optional main belt wear protection increases the life of the main bands significantly. The easily adjustable material protection forms a bed for deceleration and deflection of the material to be crushed, thus reducing the direct charge of the main belt.

Due to its unique screen deck, the new mobile SPLITTER® X2 can process these materials and delivers excellent screening performance regardless of the consistency of the material. The self-cleaning operation of the SPLITTER® and the many specific settings available are another major factor for this.

The tub shaped SPLITTER® screen deck consists of two counter-rotating screen decks which pull the material apart. The material enters the curved area of the deck and is kept in motion on the screen deck for longer, so that foreign objects can be separated from the useful fraction without blockages. The inclination of the screen deck can be adjusted continuously in a range from 5-25°, in order to increase the time of the material on the screening deck. So you are able to react on the different materials characteristics.

With the help of the clean separation the space requirement can be reduced, for example in a quarry. This takes effective care of the resources and optimizes the yield from raw materials.

This year‘s fairgrounds in the Nieder-Ofleiden stone quarry hosted a super show on a total area of approximately 180,000 square metres in more partial sections of the quarry than ever before. Highly visible colours designated the different areas from A to E where trade fair events and demonstrations took place over more levels and areas of the quarry than ever before. Crushing and screening processes for the preparation of basalt aggregate material, rubble, asphalt and soil excavation were demonstrated live in practical situations, as appreciated by the decision-makers from the respective industries. This approach afforded them the best possible opportunity for comparison when making future investment decisions.

The goal of the organiser Geoplan GmbH was to break through the 40,000-visitor ceiling. And at the final count, steinexpo enjoyed the attention of 48,130 interested individuals. With this result, the fair this year beat its previous peak in 1996, which saw approximately 46,000 visitors going through the gates. This result underlines the steadily growing acceptance of steinexpo in the market. Pleasantly surprising after 2011 was again the Saturday exhibition day with visitor participation of about 17,150 people. For a day which offers an attraction particularly to people from the region – with non-paying children under 16 accompanied by an adult not counted – this figure may not be surprising. However, what pleases the exhibitors was the still extremely high share of trade visitors even on this last day of the trade fair. Suppliers of raw materials and building materials but also construction companies from all over the country had chartered buses for their senior staff and machine operators and used the Saturday for a visit to the fair without losing production time.

The exhibitors had only praises for the flexibility of the organiser Geoplan GmbH for their excellent understanding of and response to exhibitor wishes before and during the fair. The exhibitors in the pavilions were also very satisfied with this year‘s response. It was not only the rather cool weather at the start of the exhibition and the effort they put into attractive stand layouts that ensured them more visitor attention than at previous events, but also the

new pavilion concept with its side walls that could be opened almost completely that has proven itself as a great success. The ‘stands with an outside view’ were also those with an ‘inside view’ and so generated the expected traction.

Professionally, the steinexpo-proven layout and planning team of the Technical University of Clausthal, headed by Prof. Dr. Hossein Tudeshki and Thomas Hardebusch handled all phases of the planning, setup and exhibition itself with the skill and empathy necessary to ensure a proper sequence of events and to integrate any kind of unplanned surprises in the running processes.

Gradually growing internationality and tangible investment interest

The various measures by the organisers and the technical and conceptual trustee associations have contributed to the level of awareness of steinexpo gradually growing internationally. So this year saw 65 international exhibitors and again more than 20% international visitors arriving at the basalt quarry in Nieder-Ofleiden. This trend was supported by a far greater presence of international press representatives to the fair and the diverse online activities of the fair.

In terms of current investment trends, exhibitors confirmed that the demands of decision-makers were very specifically focused on issues relating to energy efficiency and quality as well as the industry-known measurement of ‘cost per ton’. Here and there a ‘bargain’ may in individual cases still be a selling point, but in the plant and equipment segment, especially, the best possible quality and suitability for the particular application remain the decisive criteria for an investment. Lifecycle considerations, even beyond normal wear resistance, environmental aspects and fuel and energy savings are key in making a final decision on the purchase of new construction equipment. This reality has been mirrored in the tailored offerings of the exhibitors.

Diverse choice of blades for versatility and performance

The D65EX and WX are equipped with SIGMADOZER®, providing the machine with a large blade capacity of 5,61 m³ and 5,9 m³ respectively. Based on a completely new excavation theory, SIGMADOZER® dramatically improves dozing performance and increases productivity by up to 15% over conventional semi-u blades. The Komatsu designed blade increases soil-holding capacity while simultaneously reducing sideway spillage because it digs and rolls material up at the centre of the blade. SIGMADOZER® also reduces digging resistance producing a smoother flow of material enabling the dozing of larger amounts of soil with less power.

A durable PAT blade is also available for each model. The manually adjustable blade pitch further expands the versatility and productivity in many applications.

automatic shift transmission significantly improves fuel economy

The D65EX/PX/WX-18 has a new automatic transmission with lock up torque converter that greatly reduces fuel consumption and offers greater power train efficiency. The lockup mechanics of the torque converter automatically transfer engine power directly to the transmission, reducing fuel consumption by up to 10%.

Two gearshift modes – automatic or manual – can be easily selected to fit the appropriate application: automatic for all general dozing and manual for dozing and ripping rough ground.

E and P modes help match machine performance to the application. E Mode is chosen for all general dozing, leveling and spreading applications providing adequate speed and power while saving up to 10% fuel usage. P Mode is chosen for heavier applications where engine power has priority over fuel consumption.

Caterpillar Inc. employees marked a major milestone today, commemorating the production of 75,000 wheel tractor-scrapers at the Decatur, Illinois facility. The historic machine, an open-bowl, twin-engine 627K, is built to move high volumes of material quickly and economically with optimum fuel efficiency.

CATERPILLAR REACHES MILESTONE OF 75,000 WHEEL TRACTOR-SCRAPERS

caterpiLLar inc.

“Scraper sales have been rebounding steadily in North America since the last downturn,” said Caterpillar Mining Products Vice President Tom Bluth. “And with our new K Series machines, we’re in a great position to win business outside North America as construction investment recovers.”

“Congratulations to all who helped design, build, deliver and support 75,000 scrapers,” he continued. “Employees, dealers, suppliers—past and present—we appreciate the role you played. We also extend our thanks to tens of thousands of Caterpillar customers who have put their trust in Cat® scrapers for generations.”

Scrapers were one of three product families, along with track-type tractors and motor graders, upon which Caterpillar built its business following World War II. As the U.S. economy boomed

and populations began migrating from cities to suburbs, housing and infrastructure construction exploded, spurring demand for high-volume earthmoving tools like the wheel tractor-scraper. Growth was strong all over the world as new global infrastructure began to take shape. Caterpillar responded by expanding the product line and investing in manufacturing capacity, including the operation in Decatur.

“Just about any major infrastructure project undertaken in the past 70 years, anywhere in the world, you can bet Cat scrapers played a role,” said Sankar Kurumbail, Wheel Tractor Scraper Product Manager at the Caterpillar Decatur plant. “When it comes to high-speed, high-volume earthmoving, it can be hard to find a more economical option. They’re some of the most durable products in our line, too; it’s not unusual to see a scraper from the 1970s still working hard today.”

While older models continue to deliver reliable performance, the Cat scraper line has been updated over the years to help customers meet the changing

requirements of earthmoving projects. Today’s K Series models feature automated cycle functions, high-pressure steering, engine-overspeed protection, fuel economy mode, payload monitoring and other innovations that simplify operation, reduce maintenance and boost fuel efficiency.

“The K Series scrapers are part of a rich legacy the Decatur team is carrying forward every day,” Kurumbail said. “That 75,000th machine was built with the same goal as the first one: making our Caterpillar customers more successful.”

The standard lighting package for the new models now includes a counterweight light (enhancing the rearview camera function at night), three cabin-mounted lights, and light on the boom. Standard LED lights replace the previous halogen lighting for enhanced illumination, lower power consumption, and longer life.

Easy to operate, maintain and serviceAn automatic system, when enabled by the operator,

senses machine parameters and locks the axle-oscillation function and sets the service brakes, readying the machine to dig. This feature reduces operator fatigue by removing the need to constantly press the brake pedal and results in added productivity. Brake and axle lock are automatically released when the operator presses the travel pedal again. Also, a new travel-lock system, engaged via the switch panel, combines implement-stop and swing-lock functions. For further convenience, cruise control is a standard feature allowing the operator to choose the very speed he wants and can be activated via the Quick-Access button on the monitor.

Versatility being one key attribute of wheel excavators, operators can adjust the machine to the task and to personal preference, hydraulic pressures and flows for work tools can be easily adjusted.

The M318F and M320F also incorporate a PIN-code anti-theft system. For operator convenience during short breaks in production, the system remembers the last code entered before engine shutdown and allows that code to remain active for a period of time.

Also, a new blade for the M318F and M320F has a redesigned profile, allowing the blade to remain parallel to the ground at any height and assisting material to roll more easily in front of the blade.

The engine in the new models, as in predecessor models, is longitudinally mounted with the cooling package forward of the engine, resulting in easy, ground-level access to routine maintenance points. An electric fuel-priming pump eliminates filling filters before installation. All the radiators are now grouped in the same compartment and the condenser can be tilted with no tool for ease of cleaning. Electrical and hydraulic components are now grouped in specific areas for ease of service and an automatic centralized greasing device (Auto-lube) is standard allowing operators to remain focused on the job.

is able to meet and exceed performance of the 303.5E. Additionally, testing on the 303.5E2 revealed an 8% fuel consumption improvement and 7% greater efficiency over the E series.

All the E2 series models are equipped with the digital control panel specially designed for Cat Mini Excavators-COMPASS-Complete Operation, Maintenance, Performance, and Security System. Built into the COMPASS monitor are an anti-theft system, which requires a five-digit alphanumeric password to start the machine, an automatic engine-idle selection, which drops engine rpm to idle after 4 seconds of inactivity and an adjustable auxiliary-flow control for work tools. Both main-line and optional secondary auxiliary-hydraulic systems can be adjusted on a scale of 1-15 through the monitor for added control.

The E2 Series models also continue to include the standard features and benefits customers expect from a high-quality mini hydraulic excavator. For example,

automatic two-speed, 100% pilot controls, superior bucket rotation, blade float and safety are built into every Cat mini excavator. The automatic two-speed feature allows the operator to put the machine in “high speed” (rabbit) and not worry about manually kicking down to low gear while turning, digging, or roading in tough conditions. One hundred percent pilot controls offer consistent and long-lasting controllability with reduced owning and operating costs often associated with mechanical linkage.

The unique design of the Cat MHE linkage, bucket, and cylinders on the 3 – 6 ton machines allows for an industry leading 200 degrees of bucket rotation. The unique bucket shape also maximizes the volume of material per scoop without sacrificing digging performance and the boom and stick cylinders have built-in dampening to cushion the impact of the rod & piston against the stops when it reaches full extension or retraction.

Additionally, the blade float function allows the operator to drag the blade backwards (away from the cutting edge side) and the blade will “float” along the contour of the ground with only the weight of the blade bearing down to smooth the site after grading and backfilling holes leading to ease of operation and productivity.

Finally, all Cat MHE from 3.5 metric ton to 8 metric ton are ROPS, TOPS and Top Guard Level 1 certified; include the Cat Interlock (hydraulic lockout) System; a certified accumulator which allows for auxiliary pressure to be released, making connecting and disconnecting work tools safer and easier; and a travel alarm. All of these safety features are standard on the E2 model lineup, with the travel alarm optional in Europe.

Hather Plant Hire Ltd based in Rotherham, South Yorkshire has bought four new Volvo A25F articulated haulers for its extensive plant fleet thanks in part to the reliability of C and D series trucks purchased over the last decade.

The four new haulers are incremental to a fleet of some 450 items of mobile plant in the Hather Plant Hire arsenal and around thirty existing Volvo trucks. “We recognise the Volvo articulated hauler has one of the highest residual values on the market and offers good performance with impressive longevity,” comments Managing Director Gary Hather. “For example we have an A25C that’s clocked up 35000 hours and is still going strong! Coupled to that the Volvo trucks find favour with both our own operators and our customers’ operators,” he continues.

The A25F hauler from Volvo meets the requirements

of Stage IIIB emissions legislation being powered by an electronically controlled, six cylinder 235hp turbo charged Volvo V-ACT diesel engine. This features high torque at low engine speeds, resulting in good fuel efficiency, high performance, quicker engine response and less wear, i.e. long service life. Purpose built by Volvo, the engine is designed to exactly match the Volvo drive train, ensuring the best use of power and torque, even in tough working

VOLVO H-SERIES WHEEL LOADERS DELIVER LOWER EMISSIONS AND FUEL CONSUMPTION IN THE 18-22 TON CLASS

The L110H and L120H wheel loaders from Volvo Construction Equipment, featuring a powerful Tier 4 Final/Stage IV-certified engine, meet strict emissions legislation, while improving fuel efficiency by up to 18 percent with the OptiShift transmission.

New Volvo L110H and L120H wheel loaders are among the company’s most environmental and fuel-efficient machines to date. The company’s latest generation of machines for the 18-22 ton class, they are powered by an 8-liter Tier 4 Final/Stage IV-certified engine with fully automatic regeneration that combines high performance with low emissions and low fuel consumption.

The inherent fuel efficiency of the Volvo D8J engine is enhanced by the well-matched Volvo powertrain and intelligent hydraulics, which only supply power on demand. The load-sensing hydraulics also ensure fast response for outstanding control over the load, as well as shorter cycle times. Another intelligent feature, the Reverse-By-Braking (RBB) function automatically reduces the engine rpm and

applies the service brakes when the operator changes the direction of the machine. This not only conserves fuel but also reduces stress on the drivetrain, thereby extending component life. Meanwhile, Volvo OptiShift technology combines the RBB function with a lock-up torque converter to create a direct drive between the engine and transmission, eliminating power losses in the torque convertor and reducing fuel consumption by up to 18 percent. The eco pedal further reduces fuel consumption, thanks to mechanical push-back force, which encourages the operator to ease off the throttle when the engine rpm is about to exceed the optimum operating range.

Inside, the cab is spacious, with plenty of storage for personal belongings. Internal noise levels are kept to a minimum, thanks to sound insulation, while improved seat and vibration protection ensure a smooth and comfortable ride. Air quality is guaranteed by an industry-leading filter that allows 90 percent of the cab air to be recirculated for continuous dust removal.

To limit operator fatigue, all the controls and information panels have been ergonomically positioned. For ease of operation, the optional multi-function joystick gives the operator simultaneous and precise control of the hydraulic functions. Forward, reverse and kick-down functions are also included on the right hand arm rest. The machine’s vital information – such as fuel and oil levels – is displayed on an easy-to-read screen that is clearly visible from the operator seat, even in bright sunlight. Basic configurations and tests can be performed without the operator having to move from the seat.

At your serviceDaily service checks on the machine can be carried out

quickly and simply with grouped service points. The engine hood opens electronically so the operator or technician can easily gain full access to the engine compartment. This helps the machine to get back on the job as quickly as possible. A number of components require very little maintenance. The rear axle cradles contain maintenance-free lubricated-for-life bushings and bearings. As for the cooling fan, it can be reversed for self-cleaning of the cooling units.

On the rare occasion that a Volvo wheel loader requires more attention than a routine service check, Volvo experts are always on hand to provide expert advice via an extensive network of dealers and technicians. Combining local knowledge with global experience, Volvo is able to supply a whole range of customer solutions – from genuine Volvo parts to advanced machine monitoring technology – for reduced total cost of ownership and increased profitability throughout the entire life of the machine.

EC480D EXCAVATOR AND L220H LOADING SHOVEL FOR SkENE GROUP

Volvo set a high standard...“ is the sentiment of Skene Group Ltd’s joint managing director Darren Forrester as the company takes delivery of a forty eight tonne EC480D excavator and an L220H loading shovel - the first H series loader with Stage IV final

engine to be sold in Great Britain.Skene Group Ltd of Glenrothes Fife has added a Volvo

EC480D and the very latest H series L220H complete with 5.6m³ rehandling bucket to its fleet of predominantly badged Volvo equipment after a careful evaluation of the market.

“The complete package on offer from Volvo from the initial quote, trade in valuation and order to delivery process and after sales service support is very professional in our opinion,” commented joint managing director Darren Forrester. “We worked very closely with the team at Volvo to get the specification on both machines absolutely correct for the two different applications they were purchased for - they set a high standard for others to beat.”

The forty eight tonne EC480D has been specified with

a 7m heavy duty boom and 3.25m heavy duty dipper arm ensuring the maximum possible breakout and tearout forces are available digging and loading blasted dolerite

into the resident mobile primary crusher. This combination of long boom and mass excavation arm provides a generous 261kN of breakout force yet affords superb reach from the dig zone to the crusher reducing the amount time needed to re-position the equipment. Powered by a stage IIIB Volvo 13 litre engine developing 348hp, a maximum torque of 1800Nm is achieved at just 1400rpm and this in conjunction with the machine’s advanced hydraulic system ensures maximum fuel efficiency is achieved through every work cycle.

The machine is now the resident prime mover at Skene Group’s Lomond quarry located on the outskirts of Leslie in Fife. The machine has also benefited by the addition of heavy duty belly plates and FOGS guarding for the cab. An existing heavy duty rock bucket owned by Skene has had a complete refurbishment and been fitted to the new excavator.

Taking charge of the rehandling and stocking out area at Skene Group’s Soutra Mains quarry is the first H series Stage IV final loading shovel to be delivered in Great Britain. Prior to its arrival at the busy sand and gravel and concrete batching plant the machine was proudly exhibited on the Volvo stand at this year’s Hillhead. With its striking Skene Group logo the machine has been equipped with XMineD2 tyres and a 5.6m³ rehandling bucket, auto lube and optional boom suspension. The 32 tonne shovel is powered by a 13 litre stage IV final engine developing 373hp in a relatively low rpm range of between 1300 and 1400 rpm with an expectation on Darren Forrester’s side of considerable fuel savings. “The machine replaces the smaller L180F to increase production and again we considered the specification closely in order to achieve just a two bucket pass loading out eight wheeled lorries,” says Darren. “In the long run we expect to see some considerable savings on fuel consumption.”

As with Skene Group’s existing fleet of Volvo branded equipment these latest arrivals have been supplied with Volvo’s Blue service agreements which are based on a fixed rate per scheduled service and a fixed rate for mileage including oil sampling and regular inspections to be reviewed on an annual basis. “The decision to outsource the regular servicing, inspections and oil sampling back to the original manufacture makes sense in our opinion,” said Mr Forrester. “Having Volvo looking after the equipment with their own trained engineers using genuine parts with the proper disposal of all used oils and materials gives us both peace of mind and a tight control on each machine’s life time cost.”

The Skene Group has enjoyed steady growth since it was founded in 1968 by its current Chairman, Donald Skene. It became a limited company in the late 1970s with the launch of its civil engineering, road building operations and demolition activities then diversified into minerals in the 1980s, quarrying sand, gravel and hard rock deposits. The 1990s saw further expansion, this time into pre-cast and ready-mixed concrete products. Managing director Neil Skene joined the business in 1984 and now oversees all its divisions providing sand and gravel quarrying; hard rock quarrying; concrete products and construction services along with joint managing director Darren Forrester.

Volvo Construction Equipment Division markets wheeled loaders, articulated haulers, hydraulic excavators, graders, Volvo utility equipment and Volvo road equipment products in the U.K. There are eight strategically placed customer support centres and a network of utility equipment dealers to ensure high quality customer support is maintained throughout the country.

VOLVO L250H WHEEL LOADER MAkES LIGHT OF HEAVY JOBS

The new Tier 4 Final compliant L250H wheel loader from Volvo Construction Equipment tackles heavy tasks with superior performance, heightened safety and up to 18 percent better fuel economy with OptiShift.

The Volvo L250H wheel loader is a high production machine designed to deliver excellent productivity and profitability in applications including quarry, mining and heavy infrastructure. Operators will experience short cycle times, high breakout force and excellent controllability with this heavy-duty machine. Specifically in North America, the wheel loader is perfectly matched to on-highway trucks, and the L250H will load a 25-ton triaxle on-highway truck in two passes — two full buckets for one full truck.

Featuring advanced technology and built on decades of experience, the L250H’s powerful Tier 4 Final engine provides high performance and low fuel consumption. During the fully automated regeneration process, particulate matter collected in the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is burned off without interrupting performance or productivity for effortlessly clean operation.

Fuel efficiency is enhanced by Volvo OptiShift technology, which combines the company’s patented Reverse By Braking (RBB) technology and a torque converter with lock-up to eliminate power losses and reduce fuel consumption by up to 18 percent. Automatic Power Shift (APS) and Fully Automatic Power Shift (FAPS) further ensure minimal fuel consumption and fast cycle times, shifting the machine gears in line with engine and travel speed for optimal operation. Meanwhile the unique Volvo eco pedal encourages the operator to ease off the throttle, therefore lowering fuel consumption, by applying a mechanical push-back force when the throttle is used excessively and the engine rpm is about to exceed the economic operating range. Intelligent load-sensing hydraulics supply power to the hydraulic functions only when required for smooth, fuel-efficient operation, as well as excellent control over the load and attachment.

Achieve moreThe L250H is not only one of the most efficient heavy-

duty wheel loaders on the market, but also one of the most productive. The proven Z-bar linkage provides high breakout force for strong, powerful digging in hard materials and facilitates quick load cycles for increased productivity even in demanding applications. The optional Boom Suspension System (BSS) further boosts productivity by up to 20 percent by absorbing shock and reducing the bouncing and bucket spillage that occurs when operating on rough ground. This enables faster and more comfortable work cycles and increases machine life. The optimally-shaped bucket has been designed to incorporate a spill guard, side cutters and wear plate for faster and more efficient bucket fill and longer service life.

A specially designed 9.0 cubic yard rehandling bucket gives faster and more efficient bucket fill – and up to 10 percent better fuel efficiency. In North America, the rehandling bucket quickly fills a triaxle on-highway truck in only two passes.

With a variety of product options, Volvo customers can adapt their machine for more applications including rock and waste handling. Attachments are purpose-built to work in harmony with the L250H. Functions and properties are ideally matched to parameters, such as link-arm geometry and breakout, rim pull and lifting force for maximum productivity.

Comfort increases productivityA comfortable operator is a productive operator and

the L250H wheel loader offers one of the most comfortable cabs on the market. The spacious ROPS / FOPS certified cab provides a clean and spacious work environment with low internal noise levels, vibration protection, ergonomically placed controls and ample storage space. Fuel and oil levels, as well as warning messages, are displayed on an easy-to-read information panel that is clearly visible from the operator seat even in bright sunlight.

Safety firstWhen working in the dark, safety and visibility are

enhanced by reflectors that follow the contour of the machine. LED entrance lights illuminate the cab for safe entry and exit, and additional LED work lamps light up the work area. For added safety, an optional fire suppression

system, consisting of up to 16 nozzles, is automatically activated inside the engine compartment if excessive heat is detected. The system, purpose-built for Volvo wheel loaders, can also be manually activated from inside and outside the cab.

Built to lastThe L250H wheel loader’s superior durability and

ease of maintenance ensure maximum machine uptime and minimum expense on servicing replacement parts. The batteries are maintenance-free as are the rear axle cradles, which are fitted with greased-for-life bushings and bearings. Machine wear is reduced by an optional, automatic lubrication system that can be adjusted according to application. A hydraulically-driven cooling fan protects the machine’s vital components against damage from overheating. The fan activates automatically only when needed to limit fuel consumption and noise — and can be reversed to allow self-cleaning of the cooling units. Both the front and the rear axles feature an additional oil cooling feature, which allows the hydraulic oil to flow inside the axle, thereby cooling it.

When carrying out regular service checks, the cab can be tilted 35 degrees or 70 degrees via a hydraulic pump to provide wide access to the vital components. And like all Volvo machines, the L250H wheel loader is supported by a vast global service infrastructure of technicians, workshops and dealers, providing all-important peace of mind.

“QUALITY, BACk-UP AND OPERATOR ACCEPTANCE TICk THE BOXES FOR MACkOY LTD”

So says Managing Director Mike Mayock, as the company chooses two more Volvo EC140D’s for its groundworks and civil engineering business based at Chandlers Ford in Hampshire.

Established just seven years ago, Mackoy Ltd has specialised in providing groundworks and civil engineering services to the house construction industry for major house builders such as Bellway Homes, Barratt Homes, Miller and and Persimmon Homes to name but a few, covering Dorset, Hampshire, Sussex, Wiltshire and Berkshire.

The company has steadily built up its fleet of mobile

plant to service the contracts it undertakes which consists of a mix of ten Volvo fourteen tonne excavators, a variety of mini excavators including Volvos along with an assortment of other mobile plant such as sites dumpers and Volvo DD25 tandem rollers. “Having operated Volvo products myself in the past I fully appreciate the quality and reliability of the products,” says Mike Mayock. “In a sense I have grown up with them so when I started out on my own and besides taking advice from third party references it made sense to stick with what you know.”

The Volvo EC140D is powered by a Volvo four cylinder D4H Stage IIIB engine developing 114hp which contributes to an excellent performance being well matched to the machine’s hydraulics. The machine’s ‘Integrated work mode control’ provides high efficiency, rapid dig cycles and low fuel consumption. This advanced mode control system ensures the maximum possible hydraulic horsepower available is delivered at a constant engine speed under varying load conditions. In addition, boom and arm geometry provide highly competitive digging forces and lifting capacities, which makes for faster work cycles. Hose rupture valves are fitted as standard to the boom and dipper cylinders as are quick fit hydraulics and a hammer/shear service.

The Volvo Care Cab offers a large roomy interior with

plenty of leg room and foot space. The excellent all round visibility is enhanced by pressurized and filtered cab air supplied by a 14 vent, climate control system.

Praxisforum Geothermie.Bayern 2014

Vom 08. bis 09. Oktober 2014 findet das Praxisforum geothermie.bayern statt. Die zweitägige Veranstaltung bietet der Tiefengeothermiebranche ein attraktives Programm und lädt die Teilnehmer in der angenehmen Atmosphäre des Hauses der Bayerischen Wirtschaft im Zentrum von München wieder zu Fachdiskussionen und zum Netzwerken ein.

Veranstaltungsort

Haus der Bayerischen WirtschaftDas Praxisforum Geothermie.Bayern findet im

exklusiven Konferenzzentrum Haus der Bayerischen Wirtschaft statt. Der Veranstaltungsort liegt zentral in München und ist mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln gut zu erreichen. In der Tiefgarage steht eine begrenzte Zahl an Parkplätzen zur Verfügung. Weitere Parkplätze finden Sie in der Umgebung.

Die Veranstaltung verteilt sich auf zwei Konferenzsäle, ausgestattet mit modernster Technik. Aussteller finden im Foyer ausreichend große Repräsentationsflächen. Bei gutem Wetter kann das Atrium von den Teilnehmern entsprechend mitgenutzt werden.

Landeshauptstadt MünchenMünchen, die Stadt an der Isar, hat neben vielen

Sonnenstunden im Jahr noch einiges mehr an Lebenqualität zu bieten. Für jeden Besucher offeriert die Stadt ein hohes Kultur- und Freizeitangebot, angefangen von zahlreichen historischen Sehenswürdigkeiten mit Schlossanlagen über eine international bekannte Kunst-Museenlandschaft bis hin zur gemütlichen Biergartenatmosphäre. Mit seinem Charme der „norditalienischsten“ Stadt Südbayerns ist München immer eine Reise wert.

Aber München ist auch das Zentrum der Erneuerbaren Energien, sowohl in Bayern als auch deutschlandweit. Bereits 2005 wurde die Landeshauptstadt offiziell mit dem Titel „Bundeshauptstadt im Energiesparen“ ausgezeichnet, der ihr bis heute geblieben ist. Neben der hohen Lebensqualität und zahlreichen Sehenswürdigkeiten hat sich München inzwischen zu einem europäischen Zentrum für Politik, Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Forschung etabliert. Alleine die wirtschaftliche Förderung des Freistaates für den Ausbau der Wärmenetze von Tiefengeothermieprojekten zeigt, dass Bayern auf die Geothermie als festen Bestandteil des Bayerischen Energiekonzepts setzt. In diesem Sinne bietet München ein hochwertiges Ambiente mit exzellenter Infrasruktur für den Erfahrungsaustausch des ersten Praxisforums Geothermie.Bayern.
