Mining Equipment BEST OF GERMANY and Technology 2018 A supplement to E&MJ, Coal Age, Equipo Minero, E&MJ/Coal Age Russia, E&MJ/Coal Age China, E&MJ/Coal Age India and The ASIA Miner In cooperation with VDMA Mining TAKRAF Dry Stack Tailings TAKRAF is an integrated solutions provider to the global mining, bulk material handling and minerals industries, offering innovative technological solutions as well as process and commodity knowledge along the industry value chains. With the integration of the well-known DELKOR brand of products into TAKRAF, we bring a complete dry stack tailings management system to the market. TAKRAF GmbH Torgauer Straße 336 04347 Leipzig, Germany Tenova, a Techint Group company, is a worldwide partner for [email protected] innovative, reliable and sustainable solutions in the mining and www.takraf.com metals industries. www.tenova.com Foreword: The latest fi gures show us that our industry has obviously come out of the downturn, with incoming orders boasting a two-digit growth rate. This will be the year of renewal, which leaves behind the problems of low demand and low prices. But the challenges are manifold: not only fragmented mar- kets, but also the digitalization. The Europe 28-countries remain the largest region. This region is followed by the USA, China and Russia as the biggest single markets. The near-middle east is actually developing well while Africa — last year a booming region —and Latin America show weak tendencies. In this particular context — USA, China, Russia — there are concerns about the future of free trade because of tendencies to close the markets for different reasons. In principle, we believe in a free market on the basis of reciprocity and mutual interest. One should keep in mind that closing off national markets reduces the competitiveness because of the exclusion of the technical advancement. The driver for future technical advancement is digitalization. Ideas, such as Germany’s “Industrie 4.0,” are transforming the mining industry worldwide. German manufacturers are work- ing on this area to offer more information, better decisions and higher effi ciency of operations. VDMA Mining supports manufacturers of mining equipment in “going digital.” VDMA provides a long list of documents, practical guides and links to facilitate the ongoing development of digital services. At present, they work on connectivity and standard interfaces as well as on IT-security or the ownership of data. VDMA Mining member companies want to give the best possible support to the global mining industry. We hope that you fi nd value in this publication, wherever you are in the world. Glückauf!

With gearless conveyor drives for medium power conveyors Up to now, gearless conveyor drives were only economic for high powered overland conveyors (3 to 7 MW per motor). ABB has now developed a solution which makes the advantages of the gearless technology also feasible for a broader range of conveyor systems in the medium power segment (0.6 to 3 MW per motor). The new gearless conveyor drive (GCD) with a permanent magnet (PM) motor reduces failure rates by 50% and improves energy efficiency. Different mounting variants enable application-optimized use for both, new or retrofitted conveyor drives.

Even though many of the mines in Germany have closed, VDMA Mining helps its members export their services
