Sandvik supplies the world’s largest compact bucket wheel excavator to Mtra Kraftwerk AG
Start of assembly for the new compact bucket wheel excavator and beltwagon at the Bükkbrny open pit mine
In July 2007 the Austrian branch for Materials Handling, a business division of Sandvik Mining and Construction, was commissioned by the Mtra Kraftwerk AG with the supply of a compact bucket wheel excavator (BWE) including beltwagon. Sandvik’s cooperation and excellent business relationship with the customer goes back many years. In 1986 Sandvik supplied the customer 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
The new bucket wheel excavator - its design and dimensions make it the world’s largest compact-type bucket wheel excavator - with a total weight of around 1,650 tons has a 28-meters long boom on which the 12-meter diameter bucket wheel is located. Alone the power output of the bucket wheel, fitted with 16 buckets, is around 1,100 kilowatt - the entire power output of the compact bucket wheel excavator amounts to 3,200 kilowatt.
The beltwagon, which is needed for the flexible operation of the main unit, has a total conveying length of 80 meters and a weight of around 660 tons. The entire unit (compact bucket wheel excavator including beltwagon) is designed for a conveying output of around 6,700 lm/h or an annual capacity of 12 million bank cubic meters.
After completing the detailed design and the fabrication of the main components Sandvik Mining and Construction started with the assembly of the entire unit at the beginning of November. Completion is expected to be in about eight month’s time to enable the first overburden to be conveyed from the Bükkbrny open pit mine by mid-2009.
For Sandvik Mining and Construction this order is of great significance. It has enabled the company to take another important step into the European open pit mining sector and to once again demonstrate 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 2007 about 47,000 employees and representation in 130 countries, with annual sales of more than SEK 86,000 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.
