Stacker / reclaimer, Vattenfall
Allows excavators to be loaded to their performance limits, while avoiding load peaks and the intensive wear and tear and maintenance they cause. This is achieved by intelligent features such as the new automatic conveyor system, a package of control measures, and the proven drive and automation technology which has been optimized for open-cast mining.
From 1982 to 2001, SIMINE EXC ensured that more than 30 bucket wheel excavators, stackers and reclaimers at the Neyveli open-cast mine in India operated smoothly. Thanks to the elaborate comprehensive concept which included everything from the drive systems and automation with SIMATIC PCS 7 to the visual displays, material was subjected to considerably less stressing. This resulted in less wear and tear, higher availability, reduced downtimes and increased throughput.
