Sandvik compact bucket wheel excavator with exceptional capacity on its way to Bükkbrny mine site
Sandvik Mining and Construction has successfully completed assembly of the compact bucket wheel excavator, including the beltwagon, for Mtra Kraftwerk G.AG in Hungary. After completing the detailed design and the fabrication of the main components, the assembly of the entire unit (compact bucket wheel excavator including beltwagon) started at the beginning of November. Assembly was conducted according to a demanding schedule of only eight months, with up to some 130 erectors working on the site every day.
The first extraction level of Bükkbrny opencast mine trial operations will commence on schedule at the end of June 2009 and both machines will begin normal operations as early as September. The new entire unit will increase production capacity and also raise productivity at the Bükkbrny opencast lignite mine.
The new bucket wheel excavator with a total weight of around 1,650 tons has a 28-meter (92-foot) boom on which the 12-meter (40-foot) diameter bucket wheel is located. The power output of the bucket wheel alone, fitted with 16 buckets, is around 1,100 kilowatt - the entire power output of the machine amounts to 3,200 kilowatt. The entire unit (compact bucket wheel excavator including beltwagon) is designed to generate a conveying output of around 6,700 lcm/h (8,760 lcy/h) or an annual capacity of 12 million bank cubic meters (15.7 million bank cubic yards).
In July 2007, the Materials Handling business division of Sandvik Mining and Construction, was awarded a contract to supply these machines from Mtra Kraftwerk AG. Sandvik’s cooperation and excellent business relationship with the customer go back many years. In 1986, Sandvik supplied the customer with three giant open pit mining units, a bucket wheel excavator, a beltwagon and a spreader; these units have been operating successfully for the last 20 years.
This project was of great significance to Sandvik Mining and Construction. It has enabled the company to take another important step into the European open pit mining sector and once again demonstrated its competence as one of the world's leading suppliers of open pit mining equipment.
Sandvik is a global industrial group with advanced products and world-leading positions in selected areas – tools for metal cutting, machinery and tools for rock excavation, stainless materials, special alloys, metallic and ceramic resistance materials as well as process systems. The Group had at the end of 2008 about 50,000 employees and representation in 130 countries, with annual sales of more than SEK 93,000 M.
Sandvik Mining and Construction is a business area within the Sandvik Group and a leading global supplier of machinery, cemented-carbide tools, service and technical solutions for the excavation and sizing of rock and minerals in the mining and construction industries. Annual sales 2008 amounted to about SEK 38,700 M, with approximately 16,800 employees.
