The company will display scale models of draglines, shovels and drills, at QME in Mackay.
On display will be the performance engineered aftermarket kits for surface mining equipment as well as longwall automation equipment and the AFC power chain.
The company will display a scale model of its drill.
The performance engineered aftermarket kits help maintain a machine while increasing productivity.
The staple retainer will also be on display at QME 2008.
Staples are commonly used to secure fittings in high-pressure fluid power systems of longwall mining equipment. The failure of a staple can cause a hose or fitting to fail or break loose, with the potential to cause serious injury and even death.
According to the company, the staple retainer prevents both staple walk-out and fitting movement in the event of a staple leg failure. Currently offered in four sizes to fit staple sizes DN10, DN12, DN19 and DN25, the retainers fit both square and round connectors.
Also on display at stand 9175, will be scale models of the company’s draglines.
Bucyrus draglines reach depths of 65 m with bucket capacities up to 168 m3 and lifting loads of up to 340 tonnes to offer the lowest material removal cost per tonne in the industry, according to the company. More than 15 dragline specifications are available.
The company’s new power chain will also be showcased at QME 2008.
The arc-shaped broad cross-section of the flight bars allows a low-profile line pan, while the special shape of the chain provides a large running surface where required. This drastically reduces surface pressure and wear at chain joints – resulting in significantly longer service life of chain and drive sprocket than conventional systems, according to the manufacturer.
