Tough recycling project in Bogota – R700S crushes hard metallurgic coke: Rockster continues expansion plans in South America

he Austrian manufacturer Rockster Recycler continues its expansion plans through TSouth America with the signing of Sanymaq, an equipment sales and rental company located in Bogota, Colombia. Sanymaq has 80 employees and an extensive network of sales representatives. Specializing in both the rental and consignment markets, Sanymaq has ventured into some very interesting recycling projects and purchased a Rockster R700S recently.

“Our main activity will be relying on Austrian technology to venture into areas where no other Colombian company can compete”, says Mr. Jose Saturnino Barajas, owner of Sanymaq. “There has been a new recycling law just signed in congress which requires all companies in Colombia to reuse and recycle skip and demolition waste”, he adds.

VV Baltic Service OU is Rockster’s new dealer for Latvia and is specialized in selling Aharbor material handling and earthmoving equipment. For a client situated in Ventspils in the west of Latvia they needed an impact crusher individualized for extraordinary requirements in coal crushing at a harbor coal handling terminal.

The buckets are mounted divert the hot clinker away. „With up to 1,300 cubic metres either to a belt or a central chain. Belt bucket elevators of clinker per hour, the belt apron conveyor reaches higher are best suited for fine-grained bulk material, because conveying capacities than conventional apron conveyors coarse material could fall between the bucket and the with chain,“ explains Andre Tissen. This can be attributed belt and damage the belt. Central chain bucket elevators, to the higher running speed of up to 0.6 m/s. Angles of however, are designed to transport all types of coarse, inclination up to 60° are possible. By using a belt you can hot or abrasive bulk material.

This way, the service life of the The BEUMER belt apron conveyor is an optimal choice belt is considerably increased. The buckets are mounted for system modernisations. Thanks to faster conveying firmly to the back of the belt by segments and bolts that speeds, higher quantities of material can be transported were especially developed by BEUMER. BEUMER belts while keeping the existing conveyor frames and steel with wire-free zones are used for the heavy-duty bucket bridges. „One concrete example: A chain apron conveyor elevators just as with all BEUMER belt bucket elevators. with a width of 1,600 mm and a centre distance of 131 metres weighs about 128 tons“, explains Andre Tissen.

The new bucket shape ensures smoother running and less generation of noise. (Photo: 131 metre belt apron conveyor capable of conveying the BEUMER Group GmbH & Co.

For the belt version, the net costs for the equipment are 25 percent lower and the steel structure weighs only 50 tons. A smaller drive unit can be used due to the reduced constructional size, which further lowers the running costs compared to conventional apron conveyors.

Not too much, not too little - the optimal filling

For filling cement into bags, BEUMER offers the BEUMER fillpac. This rotating machine fills any kind of cement into a variety of different types of bags. It can be individually integrated into already existing packaging lines and adapted to specific parameters. Specific weighing electronics are utilised to ensure weight accuracy of the bags. There are practically no rejects caused by too high or too low filling weights. The weighing unit communicates permanently with the filler neck via specific software. The automatic bag weight control determines the exact filling weight while filling. This way the system always achieves accurate degrees of filling. The packaging line works more efficiently now as it is no longer necessary to remove bags with an incorrect weight from the material flow. In addition, the quantity indicated on the bag always corresponds to the real volume.

BEUMER supplies world‘s highest bucket elevator to Indian cement manufacturer: Raising the bar

BEUMER belt bucket elevators: They are reliable, have long service lives with low operating costs and are amongst the highest in the world – for example at ACC in the Indian town of Wadi (Photo: BEUMER Group GmbH & Co. KG)

he Associated Cement Company Limited (ACC), part of the Lafarge-Holcim TGroup, is also benefiting from the construction boom in India. The Indian cement manufacturer has therefore expanded the capacity of its factory in Wadi in the south Indian state of Karnataka to 13,000 tonnes per day. The BEUMER Group as main (EPC) contractor has got a repeat order on turnkey, for high- performance belt bucket elevator, type HGBW-HC 1250 x 177.5 m. With a distance between centers of 177.5 meters, this is currently the highest in the world.

ACC’s decision is the result of the reliable performance of the bucket elevators supplied by BEUMER Group to the same client in the past with heights of 174m and 171m. The enormous size of this system enables a flow rate of around 650 tonnes per hour to be achieved, ensured by high-quality steel wire belts of particularly high strength.

Wirtgen Surface Mining: Maximizing coal recovery by minimizing fines

Wirtgen surface miners – here the 4200 SM – cut and crush the rock with a special cutting drum and load it onto dumpers in a single pass via conveyor system. Wirtgen is the only manufacturer which can offer a performance range up to 3,000 t/h with direct loading by conveyor belt. (Photo: WIRTGEN GmbH) ost coal mines measure the particle size distribution (PSD) of their plant feed to Mobtain information about the suitability of the feed for their process, especially regarding the fines content. But few mines know where these fines come from exactly, and few still actually measure the fines content at the face to compare it to the plant feed data and to optimize the processes in between – although optimizing the fines content of the run-of-mine (ROM) coal offers numerous savings and benefits.

• The cost of washing coal fines is higher because of the fines generated along the process chain. It is of the utmost processes used and the product losses that occur (re- importance to use this chance and reduce the level of fines sulting – as well – in a lower recovery). to the greatest possible extent. • With increased losses, more tailings have to be dispo- sed in a suitable facility.

It was found that Wirtgen ments cannot be sold. surface miners offer significant advantages when it comes to the reduction of fines. • A lower level of fines in the ROM results in a lower level of respirable and airborne dust, increasing workplace safety and reducing the risk of coal dust explosions. • Coal fines have the tendency to retain moisture which Wirtgen surface miners causes disadvantages in the downstream processes.

In recent years, Wirtgen has conducted several large- scale field tests on particle size distribution and material degradation. Coal and sedimentary ore from eight different pits were analysed to obtain their particle size distribution. Almost 8,000 t of material was screened to compare the material produced by surface miners and conventional mining methods.

Keestrack is displaying a representative cross-section of its full product range at Bauma 2016 in the form of seven crushing and screening units for mobile processing in recycling applications and aggregate production. This includes current versions of proven models as well as brand new units through which the international manufacturer is showcasing even more innovative solutions, thereby aiming to set new standards in the mobile sector. Redefining mobile processing

A high level of mobility on-site and between job-sites, considerable ease of operation and maintainability and superior cost-effectiveness have for many years been the driving principles in the development of mobile processing technology at Keestrack. Long crawler tracks and statically optimised frames and superstructures facilitate simple positioning of the crushing and screening units, operating without support legs.

To reduce transport weights, Keestrack is using high-grade tensile steels, which decrease the weight of the frames and structures compared to conventional materials. On the basis of many years’ experience, any impact or tensile impact stresses were identified in the construction Linked to the Relytec controls of Keestrack machines, the new GSM/UMTS supported machine remote monitoring enables real- phase and factored in through the use of suitable time transfer of key machine parameters.

BHS-So n t h o f e n Gmb H New twin-shaft batch mixer with rubber provides low-cost mixing: Mixing high-abrasive material with minimum abrasion t bauma 2016, BHS-Sonthofen is Aintroducing a new generation of twin-shaft batch mixers of type DKXK that features a rubber trough specially designed for producing sand-lime bricks. This new type of batch mixer features particularly low wear to the trough – an important factor when processing abrasive mixtures such as sand-lime bricks. Mixer for the sand-lime brick industry

The new DKXK version that BHS has developed for the proven twin-shaft batch mixer is optimally adapted for producing sand-lime bricks. This new innovation allows this industry to take advantage of BHS-Sonthofen twin- shaft mixing technology. The results are homogeneous mixing, short mixing times and low wear. The intensive mixing process also utilizes a high percentage of the lime used in each mixture, which in turn produces a very dense packing mixture.

This version to the world‘s proven DKX type of twin-shaft batch material is highly abrasive. Considerable wear occurs mixer. Instead of a steel trough with a lining made of wear in previously used conventional mixing systems such as tiles, BHS builds their sand-lime brick mixer with a rubber intensive mixers. The reason so much wear occurs is mixing trough that pulsates when mixing, thus effectively because the fine sand acts like sandpaper on the mixing preventing sticky mixing material from caking. This tools and on the mixer‘s trough wall. reduces blade and trough lining wear as well as reduces the engine‘s power consumption.

Two drives expand the range of applications

The VSI rotor centrifugal crushers of type RSMX are successfully used throughout the world for crushing rock, including the treatment of abrasive ore. However, many potential users, e.g. in mining and ore treatment, require even more powerful machines for their production processes.

With the RSMX 1222 with „TwinDrive“, i.e. with a double drive, BHS-Sonthofen has now introduced a high-end version of the VSI rotor centrifugal crusher with a drive power of up to 2 x 315 kW.

Issue 02 | 2016 www.advanced-mining.com 66 NEWS & REPORTS

The first machine of type RSMX 1222 with a drive power of 2 x 250 kW was recently delivered and has passed the high requirements in the treatment of rock in a goldmine near Benxi City in the Chinese province of Liaoling. It processes granite with a feeding size up to 70 mm into sand with grain sizes between 0 and 5 mm and gravel with a grade between 5 and 20 mm. The proportion of sand is approximately 50 to 60 percent.

The design engineers were required to apply almost twice as much drive power to the shaft of the rotor than before. The solution was to use two drives offset by 180° instead of one. This arrangement has several advantages, because the motors introduce considerably fewer lateral forces into the shaft of the rotor than a large one. The distributions of forces in the shaft are therefore balanced, The feed material is supplied to the center of the VSI rotor centrifugal crusher the bearings are under less stress and the service life of (RSMX) from above and thrown against the impact plates by the rotor. (Photo: the machine is increased. BHS Sonthofen GmbH)

Owing to the large opening in the machine cover and the tried-and-tested twin-chamber rotor, the VSI rotor centrifugal crusher can process coarser feeding material than other crushers of this type. The diameter of the feeding material can range up to 120 mm, depending on the type of rock.

The machine is unchanged apart from the new drives. It can be used for exactly the same tasks as the proven VSI rotor centrifugal crushers (RSMX) with only one drive. They process between 30 and 400 t/h depending on the drive power with drive powers of 75 to 400 kW. Both machine types are therefore also suitable, for example, for the selective crushing of softer and harder material.

The function

The feed material is fed into the machine from above using the central input nozzle. When it hits the rotor, it is accelerated outwards by the centrifugal forces, struck by the horseshoe-shaped impellers, and hurled against the anvil ring. Here, the crushing takes place by means of the impact and shearing effect.

HS-Sonthofen introduced their new rotor impact mill of type RPMF, a variant of the Bproven rotor impact mills of type RPM, at bauma 2016. The new RPMF machines produce even finer fractions as well as output material with a significantly higher proportion of fine sand. As such, machines of this type are more efficient in producing crushed sand. The RPMF design is a variant of the rotor impact mills BHS-Sonthofen developed the new machine type of type RPM, which are known in the industry as ‘sand specifically for finer output sizes. Thanks to a longer, makers.’ BHS designed both types of machines to be used narrower milling gap and increased circumferential speed primarily with pre-crushed, brittle and mildly abrasive (of up to 90 m/s) in the rotor, machines of type RPMF materials such as limestone. Impact crushing has proven to archive higher reduction ration than other machines do. be the best method for crushing these kinds of materials. As a result, they provide users with output material that contains a higher proportion of fine-sand.

Issue 02 | 2016 www.advanced-mining.com 73 NEWS & REPORTS

Ludwig Bechteler, Sales Director of Mixing Technology at BHS, oversaw testing for the new machines: “The tests conducted in our technology center demonstrated that RPMF machines produce a significantly higher proportion of usable fine sand in the grain-size range of 0 to 1 mm than rotor impact mills of type RPM do. For example, RPMFs produce over 50 percent more usable dry mortar sand.”

The new machines of type RPMF also feature a significantly narrower gap between the grinding tools and the anvil ring. The gap width can be set to a minimum of 5 mm.

Moreover, since they produce finer feed material, these machines reduce workloads for ball mills, which can crush material to a particle size of under 40 µm.

The feed material can have a particle size of up to 32 mm. A BHS rotor impact mill of type RPM can be used to pre-crush feed fractions up to 56 mm.

BHS-Sonthofen produces the new rotor impact mills of type RPMF in two different designs:

• RPMF1116, which has a circumferential speed of The new rotor impact mill of type RPMF. (Photo: BHS-Sonthofen GmbH) up to 90 m/s and a throughput of up to 25 t/h • RPMF1516, which has a circumferential speed of up to 90 m/s and a throughput of up to 55 t/h

The technology in detail

The RPMF machines combine high rotation speeds and a narrower milling gap, so the engineers who designed them needed to control significantly greater centrifugal forces while maintaining a tighter production tolerance.

Issue 02 | 2016 www.advanced-mining.com 74 NEWS & REPORTS

The feed material is inserted into the machine from above via the central feed-in pipe. When it impacts with the rotor, the material is accelerated towards the outside through centrifugal forces; there, the horseshoe-shaped hammers hit it and throw it against the anvil ring. As the material impacts with the ring, it is subjected to impact and shear forces that crush it. After the material rebounds from the anvil ring, it comes into contact with the hammers once again, which further crush it and throw it back against the anvil ring. The process is repeated multiple times, subjecting the feed material to intense stress. The material leaves the rotor through the gap between the rotor and the anvil ring, falling down through the two outlet chutes.

The mill can be operated alternately clockwise and counter-clockwise, which reduces wear on the hammers. Easy-to-replace spacers allow the operator to modify the milling gap in accordance with the wear on the impact hammers. An optionally available crane greatly facilitates component replacement.

The solution: Variable retention time Combination of batch and continuous

The patented BHS Combimix system developed by mixers BHS-Sonthofen offers an economical alternative and its practical suitability has already been proven in several The Combimix process is based on the combination of quarries. The basic principle has been known for years but twin-shaft batch and continuous mixers manufactured by it has not been possible to implement the system due to BHS-Sonthofen. Unlike traditional continuous mixers, the various limitations in mixing technology: Mixing clay with retention time of the mixture in the Combimix system can quick lime changes the properties of the clay, which can be regulated within broad limits – from less than 30 to more then be reliably separated from the rock. than 100 seconds.

For the first time, twin-shaft continuous mixers of type DKXC allow regulation of the retention time of the material in the mixer within broad limits. The clay has enough time to mix intensively with the lime and detach from the rock. The intensive movement of material during the mixing process also assists the cleaning process.

After screening, the feed material is so clean that it is no longer classed as waste and can be sold. Grains greater than 5 mm in diameter that are largely free of clay can now be further processed in the gravel quarry. Grains less than 5 mm in diameter form a lime/clay mixture that can be sold to the agriculture industry, for example.

The Combimix system transforms the BHS twin-shaft batch mixer of type DKX into a mixer that operates continuously according to the established three-dimensional mixing principle. (Photo: BHS Sonthofen GmbH)

Issue 02 | 2016 www.advanced-mining.com 77 NEWS & REPORTS

BHS regulates the retention time via a gate on the underside of the mixing trough. The company is the only manufacturer that offers a trough with this design. Extracted material is replaced with an equivalent volume of feed material. Continuous measurements are taken during this process to monitor the weight of the mixer. The quick lime is metered by a screw conveyor inside the mixer according to the clay content in the feed material in a range of less than one or a maximum of five percent of the feed quantity.

Together with the long retention time, the established three-dimensional mixing principle of the BHS-Sonthofen twin-shaft mixer makes an important contribution to achieving good results: Example of 0-40 mm feed material that is sticky, clayey and usually considered as The lime is mixed intensively with the clay so that waste product . (Photo: BHS Sonthofen GmbH) the treated clay reliably separates from the rock. Costs for supplying water, reslurrying, filtering and disposing of the slurry are no longer incurred because the material is treated dry.

BHS-Sonthofen manufactures different versions of mixer for throughputs between 85 and 1000 t/h. The grain size of the feed material can range up to 150 mm, depending on the mixer size.

Practical experience

BHS has installed the Combimix system in several quarries. One facility has been operating extremely successfully for several years in a quarry owned by the company Cemex based in France. Before the After the Combimix mixing process, screened material > 5 mm is transformed into a system was installed, more than 100,000 t of rock/ clean, salable end product with no clay adhesions.

Jean-Serge Peret, plant manager at the Chateaubourg quarry owned by Cemex, is extremely pleased about the significant reduction in costs: „Before the mixer was installed, we had to break down 400,000 t of rock each year to obtain 300,000 t of salable material. The new procedure means we only require 330,000 t to achieve the same delivery quantity.“

HAVER NIAGARA Gmb H Plant engineering by HAVER NIAGARA GmbH: Underground processing plant for fluorspar in a mine in Germany’s Erzgebirge

he opening up of a new mine in Germany’s Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) in late 2013 Tmarked a milestone for Ger-man mining, continuing the tradition in this region, following decades of stasis. The reasons for the extraction of fluorspar and baryte are closely tied to steadily rising raw material prices on the world market. The operator, the Erzgebirgische Fluss- und Schwerspatwerke, chose HAVER NIAGARA GmbH when it came to designing and installing an underground processing plant for the mine in the Erzgebirge. HAVER NIAGARA GmbH took on the challenge to set up a flexible and economi- cally viable processing plant (Fig. 1). Despite the limited space and the high requirements to be met by the processing plant, a tailored plant was designed (Fig. 2) that fulfils the high expecta-tions of the operator to full satisfaction.

This sorter separates the raw spar from the “dead rock” on the basis of the atomic density. The raw spar obtained in this way is crushed in a cone crusher to the necessary finished grain. The crusher discharge is sent via a downstream NIAGARA screen to a loading silo, there the raw spar is loaded onto road trucks.

From there, the material is conveyed to the processing plant above ground on the site of Nickelhütte Aue GmbH, where it is ground and enriched in a flotation plant and then separated into the main components baryte and fluorite. After drying, two high- grade raw materials are produced, which are then sold.

In the undercarriage, the chassis frame has been reinforced to reduce stress and improve durability. The outrigger frame has also been strengthened by moving to a box type assembly, with an increase in the thickness of most parts for additional strength. The dozer blade and H-Link have been reinforced to increase rigidity and optimise tightening between the two structures. The height of the dozer blade has been increased along with an improved shape to facilitate pulling and mixing of materials. The size of the outrigger covers has been reduced to lessen the possibility of damage.

To further maximise durability and reduce noise, all ‘-5’ models are equipped with EM (Enhanced Macro-surface) bushings, which are also much more effective than regular bushings when greased.

Air pre-cleaners are fitted as standard on all ‘-5’ wheeled excavators, to blow much of the dust, dirt, insects, rain and snow out of the air intake, to ensure cleaner air is sent to the engine air filter. This extends air cleaner servicing intervals, enhancing uptime and productivity. Doosan has also added protection to the inner cab air filter and redesigned the cab air-conditioning filters for easier replacement.

The mobile inspection system Conti SurfaceInspect scans the entire conveyor belt surface by means of ultra-modern line laser technology. (Photo: ContiTech) Conveyor belts are the heart of many transport systems. Their importance becomes particularly clear when damage occurs. If this results in an extended system downtime, the entire production chain frequently collapses. This in turn results in high sales losses for the mine operators. To allow conveyor belt systems to run free of faults and cost-effectively in the long term, even when subjected to high loads, the operators are focusing more and more on prevention. Innovative electronic conveyor belt monitoring systems make it possible to identify the exact state of the transport systems at any time. “With the Conti Inspect systems for servicing, and the Conti Protect systems for monitoring during operation, ContiTech provides the right solutions for these jobs,” says Andreas Bakenhus, head of Mining Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia in the ContiTech Conveyor Belt Group.
