MINEXPO PREVIEW
BELAZ is a major global manufacturer of haul
trucks with super-size load capacity, as well as
other heavy vehicles. Its modern dump trucks
are already equipped with on-board equipment
to allow efficient operations: video review
system, a remote monitoring and diagnostic
techniques based on unification of onboard
equipment, the use of common management
and software algorithms. This approach allows
users to gradually move to robotic trucks. Today
BELAZ is ready to install the equipment for
robotic control on any electromechanical
transmission model of truck with capacities from
90 to 450 t
innovative technologies in Russia. Intelligent
Mine also has the support of AutoNet and it is
one of the priority projects of the country.
Development and testing of the technology in
real conditions of mining production will create
demand in the mining industry and contribute to
the development and application of innovative
technologies. Implementation of unmanned
autonomous mining technology radically changes
the system of production and organisation of
labour and fosters the emergence of new modern
process control technology of exploration, production,
transportation and processing of minerals.”
On the BELAZ stand, VIST will demonstrate the
joint IT platform for BELAZ dispatch systems and
predictive algorithms for maintenance and
production planning as well as its Mine Fleet
Management System. The collaboration such as
this between IT vendor and OEM “aims to allow
successful cooperation, targeting the appearance
of new technologies in mining.”
VIST is a dispatch world leader through its
development of Mine Fleet Management Systems
KARIER. Currently MFMS Karier is used in the
largest mining enterprises in Russia, Ukraine,
Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Morocco etc. VIST clients
are large enterprises like as: OCP Group, SUEK,
Severstal, Polyus Gold, Polymetal, Mechel,
Metalloinvest, MMK, NLMK, ArcelorMittal,
Metinvest Holding, ERG, Eurochem, Erdenet, etc.
At the Dos Santos International (DSI) booth,
visitors will be able to see a working model of its
flagship conveyor system - the DSI Sandwich Belt
High Angle Conveyor. This conveyor uses two
smooth, surfaced belts, face-to-face, to gently,
but firmly contain the products being carried,
hence making steep incline and even vertical-lift
runs “easily achievable,” DSI says. These
conveyor systems are available in widely ranging
profiles of C- and S-shape. A long bottom belt
approach is possible to the sandwich entrance,
and the discharge may be on the high incline or
may be after the extension of the carrying belt
beyond the mouth of the sandwich. The model
shows attendees how material is conveyed
between the belts by allowing them to place

various materials in the conveyor and watch it go
through the motions of transport.
Sandwich Belt High Angle Conveyors are used
in a variety of applications. From coal, to cement

plant raw feed materials, to large rock ore and
waste from open pit mines, “the abilities of the
DSI Sandwich Belt High Angle Conveyor are
myriad.” Not only will attendees be able to
experience the education of the model, but they
can also speak to the inventor of the highly
reliable system. Joe Dos Santos will be on hand
to answer any questions about the sandwich belt
high angle conveyor along with his well
experienced staff. Visitors to the DSI booth will
find a touch screen map and database through
which to search installations or search specific
material handled for relevant installations around
the world.
DSI will also show its newest innovations and
products, like the patent pending Adder
Sandwich which finally facilitates the addition of
high angle conveying at any existing or new
conventional conveyor without transfer and
without any cost premium to the base system.
DSI will also update the industry on its customer
service and quality control.
Underground utility
GHH Fahrzeuge will display its well proven and
recently upgraded LF-7HB shearing scaler. It says
that “in comparison with conventional impact
scalers the shearing principle drastically
increases scaling performance in soft rock
applications (up to 100 MPa) and provides a high
quality scaling and safer underground work
environment.”
The unit offers a maximum scaling height of
A larger version of this upgraded GHH LF-7HB shearing scaler (shown here) is based on the new LF21H with a maximum permissible scaling height of 11 m and will be available soon
