Improving slewing bearings and rings

Our aim is to constantly improve the quality of our

slewing bearings and seamless rolled rings. In our

own state-of-the-art research and development cen-

ter, we test bearing designs under the toughest of

conditions, research new products, and develop

forward-looking solutions for practical applications.

Knowledge and experience are combined with new

ideas to deliver exactly the products our customers

need.

Enhancing the efficiency of machines

and equipment

Our development work in the materials handling

field is focused on improving the efficiency and

reducing the environmental impact of machinery

and equipment. A new inclined conveyor system

for deep surface mines sets new standards in this

respect. It features two rope-driven skips that

transport materials continuously from the bottom

of the mine up the steep banks to the crusher

station. This system eliminates the need for truck

transportation and thus reduces CO2 emissions.

Capital and operating and labor costs are also lower.

Research and development 06 | 07

Research facilities and development centers

To meet the challenges of the future, we work with

renowned universities and research institutes such

as the Fraunhofer and Max Planck Societies. We

set the pace when it comes to developing steels for

extreme loads. Materials with revolutionary proper-

ties are modeled using computer programs. Our

surface engineering center (OberflächenCentrum)

in Dortmund is one of the world’s leading develop-

ment centers for flat steel coatings.

Minimizing wear

We work continuously to optimize our alloy designs

for wear-resistant steels (XAR®), focusing on specific

applications, use of resources, and processing charac-

teristics. Our powerful ProWear simulation software

can accurately predict machine wear and service life.

Optimizing electrical steel

ThyssenKrupp produces high-efficiency electrical

steel for electric motors. The production process and

product properties are being constantly improved.

We work closely with our customers to find the best

possible designs for electromagnetic systems and

components.

Intensive research is carried out into electric motors:

We build prototypes that deliver important information

on how the properties of our products affect the

properties of our customers’ motors, significantly

shortening development times.

Knowledge is a basis for innovation

STRAIGHT UP

Our skip conveyor is breaking new ground

in deep surface mines with steep banks.

It can transport ore or overburden from the

bottom of the mine to the crusher station

at the top, which means fewer trucks and

significantly lower costs and CO2 emissions.

Skip conveyor station at the bottom of the mine

Optimizing plant design

In the construction of plants for processing raw

materials, we combine and focus our know-how to

create new concepts for high availability and eco-

friendly design, reducing energy requirements and

emissions.

In some cases, we test new plants and machinery

on a smaller scale to save costs and time. In the

area of pyroprocessing, for example, ores are exam-

ined under real conditions in a scaled-down rotary

kiln using different preheater systems. This process

delivers important parameters, which are used later

to optimize the design of the industrial-scale plant.

Our ideas for the use of secondary raw materials to

generate power set global standards. Using house-

hold waste or wood chippings conserves resources,

reduces costs, and maximizes plant efficiency.

With our extensive materials database for ores, we

give our customers a key knowledge edge that

allows ores to be classified quickly and reliably and

plants to be designed for optimum efficiency.

Continuous surface mining

In rock quarries, crushers reduce the rock or over-

burden directly at the face and the material is then

transported away on belt conveyors. ThyssenKrupp

has advanced the development of these in-pit

crushing systems and is one of the world’s leading

suppliers.

Our mobile and semi-mobile crushers achieve

throughputs of up to 14,000 tons per hour. Fully

mobile crushers are an outstanding example of

innovative engineering; their use lowers transpor-

tation costs in mining operations by up to 50%

and dispenses completely with the need for heavy

trucks. Our crushers are powered exclusively by

electricity, which means that mine operating costs

and CO2 emissions can be significantly reduced.

When it comes to the mining, crushing, transporting, and spreading of ores, minerals, coal, and overburden, ThyssenKrupp has unique expertise. With our innovative equipment and detailed planning services, we can design the entire continuous surface mining process to maximize efficiency. To achieve this we constantly explore new paths.

Our fully mobile crusher is revolution izing

the surface mining industry. It reduces

the raw materials directly at the mine face

so that they can then be transported away

on belt conveyors – the use of heavy trucks

is no longer required. This significantly

reduces operating costs and cuts CO2

emissions by up to 350,000 tons per year.

Stockyard and port handling systems

for bulk materials

We are an experienced and reliable partner when

it comes to designing and building complete

systems: Handling equipment for loading and

unloading ships and trains; stockyard equipment

for stacking and reclaiming raw materials; and

linked by belt conveyors and intelligent control

systems. Our stockyard technologies are used

in the homogenization, blending, distribution, and

stockpiling of raw materials.

Bucket-wheel stacker/reclaimers

Combined bucket-wheel stacker/reclaimers allow

stacking and reclaiming of large amounts of bulk

material in stockyards. The machines are fully

automatable, with corresponding monitoring

equipment, unmanned operation and manage -

ment of raw material levels in the stockyard are

possible, saving money and time.

With their slewing and luffing capabilities, the

machines can stack or reclaim individual sections

of the pile. The material is fed to further handling

facilities in a very even flow, making it possible to

optimize the fill cross-section of downstream belt

systems.

Ship loaders with fully enclosed conveyors

Eco ship loaders from ThyssenKrupp transfer bulk

materials from terminal to ship’s hold through

completely enclosed conveyor systems. The booms

are designed in the form of a large tube, inside

which are the conveyors and service walkways.

The enclosed design prevents contamination of

port loading zones.

port loading zones.

Pipe conveyors

Pipe conveyors ensure environmentally friendly

transportation of bulk materials over large distances.

They can be adapted perfectly to the terrain with

curves, inclines, and declines for optimum routing,

and there’s no need for additional structures as with

straight-line conveyors. The enclosed belt protects

the material from environmental influences and the

environment from dust and spillages.

Gearless drive systems

for heavy-duty belt conveyors

Gearless drive systems are an efficient alternative

for high-performance belt conveyors. The system’s

simple and robust design guarantees high availability

and offers reduced running and maintenance costs,

quieter operation, and variable speeds.

Gearless drives permit long conveyor belts with

high throughput rates and large rise heights. The

system features fewer components so drive stations

require less space, a major advantage in under-

ground applications.

Custom gear units

We develop and build custom gear units specifically

designed for use in mining, processing, and materials

handling. We also supply gear units for use in

low-temperature regions under very high starting

and shock loads.

Know-how for high-strength steel welding

and wear calculation

Welding wear-resistant high-strength structural steels

requires special know-how. Because the heat-treated

material is reheated during welding, particular atten-

tion must be paid to welding conditions and cooling

times. ThyssenKrupp offers processors the powerful

software program ProWeld, which provides recom-

mendations for preheat and interpass temperatures

and heat input.

Numerous wear calculations can be carried out

with the aid of the ProWear application. Both pro-

grams are included on the special structural steels

CD-ROM and can be ordered free from the website

be avoided. In some cases, machines do not need to

be dismantled for part optimization and preventive

maintenance, saving time and money.

Relocating equipment and moving

large components

When plants have to be relocated, special tech-

niques and special machinery are needed, as are

skilled and experienced personnel. Our service

organization has unique know-how and a proven,

global track record when it comes to planning and

executing relocation and transportation jobs.

Grinding of tires and rollers

ThyssenKrupp carries out repairs of wear-related

damage to rotary kilns, dryer drums, and mill bear-

ings, as a rule during plant operation.

Service centers

In major mining regions throughout the world we

operate service centers with fully equipped work-

shops. Our centers are based close to customers

in Australia, Brazil, China, Peru, and South Africa.

Among other services, we recondition the roll units

of POLYCOM® high-pressure grinding mills. Whereas

in the past new tires were necessary, today tires

can be reconditioned several times in our service

centers – increasing plant availability and saving

costs for our customers.
