The Brokk Pedestal Boom is based on the proven arm system and power pack of Brokk ’ s world-leading demolition robots . The machine body is then mounted on a pedestal , rather than tracks . This allows the machine to be installed in a stationary position next to a crusher or any area where primary breaking is needed . Unlike existing breaker boom options in the market , the Brokk Pedestal Boom system integrates the power source and arm for a compact breaking solution with just a single power cable . No external power pack or hydraulic hose connection is needed .
Model sizes for the range include the Brokk 200 , Brokk 300 , Brokk 500 and the Brokk 900 Pedestal Boom , which is capable of producing 3050 J / Nm at a rate of 330-680 blows per minute with the BHB 1500 breaker to power through even the toughest rock formations . The Brokk 300 Pedestal Boom system will be on display at MINExpo .
ERIEZ BUILDS A WORLD ’ S FIRST
Eriez has built and commissioned the world ’ s first 80-inch Dry High Intensity Rare Earth ( RE ) Roll Magnetic Separator to satisfy unique minerals processing application requirements .
According to Eriez director of Minerals and Materials Processing Jose Marin , the Rare Earth Roll Magnetic Separator was successfully installed at the customer ’ s site , and preliminary findings indicate the industrial mineral upgraded by the equipment has “ exceeded the expectations of the customer , even at higher than specified feed rates ,” Marin reports .
Eriez Rare Earth Roll Magnetic Separators provide maximum efficiency in the separation of weak magnetic particles for product purification applications . Eriez applied sophisticated finite element analysis in magnetic circuit design to produce an energy-free separator capable of generating the exceptionally high field-strengths needed to remove unwanted fine iron contaminants .
Eriez Rare Earth Roll Magnetic Separators have always been available in a variety of sizes ; however , the company ’ s largest offering previously was a 60-inch roll width unit .
“ All Eriez Rare Earth Roll Magnetic Separators incorporate the highest strength and best quality magnet material . They combine the best engineering and operational features to provide excellent performance with hassle-free operation , inspection and maintenance ,” says Martin .
“ We are excited that our newest 80-inch model is surpassing predicted performance levels ,” he adds . •
