The radar is integrated in the visibility solution, which means the settings for the radar unit(s) and camera(s) can be controlled from the monitor. ALLU Screener Crusher Sideflex protects the mining tire���s sidewall. two components, an omega ring and a locking hasp. The ring is passed through two adjacent links and the hasp pushed over the prongs of the open ring. The hasp incorporates a locking device that is secured with a 90�� turn, in either direction of a simple Hex key. Once locked, Easylock remains securely in place until it is removed in the same simple 90�� procedure. Due to long distances, weight considerations and increased fuel costs, the TPCs are not an economical option for haul trucks. To overcome the problem, Erlau invented Sideflex���the first cost-effective sidewall protection for haul truck tires. The device consists of a sturdy set of replacement wheel nuts and extensions supporting a flat ring to which is attached a fanned array of over-lapping platelets. In action, the platelets shield the entire sidewall and deflect any aggressive rock debris that might otherwise pierce the. While the mounting components are made of steel, the Sideflex shield is manufactured from an engineered polymer. This robust material has a unique memory capability that enables the platelets to flex and deform upon impact and then return to their original shape, time after time, without any loss of integrity. The entire Sideflex assembly is so lightweight and low-profile that, for the first time, owners of dump trucks, both large and small, have a cost-effective means of protecting their assets. McLanahan Will Be There For years, McLanahan Corp. has been a well-known and respected name in North America���s mineral processing industries. In 2012, it opened its first office in Europe where it has continued to grow and expand its operation there. The company will be exhibiting for the first time at bauma 2013. Visitors will see McLanahan���s full line of crushing, washing, classifying, dewatering, feeding, screening and scrubbing products represented with 3-D models. Additionally, sales and engineering staffs from both the European and North American offices will be on hand to answer questions about how McLanahan can provide a custom engineered solution for your application. Equipment Monitoring Systems Orlaco will present the many safety options it provides for mining and construction vehicles, cranes and forklifts. In mining, where continuous vibrations and temperature fluctuations are common, the requirements for systems used in these conditions are high. Orlaco���s visibility solutions meet all high quality requirements. Products and processes are certified according to international standards. The company���s radar system, RadarEye, gives the driver an active warning. It sounds an audible alarm, auto- 42 www.coalage.com The ALLU Screener Crusher is a versatile accessory for any wheel loader or hydraulic excavator. It can screen, crush, pulverize, aerate, blend, mix, separate, carry, feed and load all in a one-step operation. These devices have been working successfully around the world in many different applications. The latest successful application has been found in the power industry where ALLU is crushing coal. The design of the crushing drums allows all of them to crush coal efficiently. Even the biggest lumps can be crushed into fine homogeneous fragment size. The ALLU attachment loads and crushes coal. Bell���s E-SeriesTakes ADTs into the New Era The new Bell B30E will take center stage for Bell Equipment at bauma 2013. Following the modular performance class concept, Bell launched its new 30-tonner together with the smaller Bell B25E, both incorporating latest developments in 6x6-technology. While continuing to provide class leading power and weight-ratios, advanced engine and drivetrain characteristics, both models set new standards in safety, driver comfort and truck management. The Bell B30E showcases the improvements Bell Equipment���s design engineers have made in the key areas of performance and fuel efficiency. They have also taken ADT functionality to new levels with customer-focused advancements and the highest level of automated machine protection. The all-new truck platform has been specifically engineered to handle future emissions requirements and take ADT innovation into the next era. Fuel burn can contribute more than 40% of the operating cost on a site and has always been a major focus area for Bell Equipment, especially in reacting to international emissions restrictions schemes. The latest generations of Bell D-series trucks introduced the ���Blu@dvantage��� SCR-technology as an industry leading standard in fuel-efficient emissions control, compliant to Tier4i and EUIIIB. While the E-series platform has been designed for upcoming legal requirements, first generations of the new B25E (210 kW/1 120 Nm) and B30E (240 kW/1 300 Nm) continue to use the proven Blu@dvantage engine configurations of their predecessors, but engine power and fuel consumption have been additionally optimized through event dependant software that controls retardation, cooling and charging of accumulators.
