MINEXPO PREVIEW
n Smelter ladles and slag pots ; n 3D laser scanning for wear analysis ; n Reline simulation services ; and n 2D / 3D simulation services ( DEM and FEM ). Hägglunds hydraulic direct drive systems have also found their way into the process plant arena .
A subsidiary of Bosch Rexroth , Hägglunds ’ solutions are used in mining and material handling applications and come with “ remarkable torque and reliable performance ”. This , the company says , maximises the efficiency and uptime of conveyors , feeders , crushers , drums , bucket wheel reclaimers , kilns and more .
The new Hägglunds Atom hydraulic drive might be tiny , but it means big news for industries where power-to-size matters , the company says
On show at MINExpo 2021 will be a series of the company ’ s classic drives , in addition to its condition monitoring system , CMp , which keeps operators and Hägglunds service experts connected and updated on drive performance to safeguard productivity .
And the new Hägglunds Atom hydraulic drive might be tiny , but it means big news for industries where power-to-size matters , the company says . This new drive will also be highlighted at the event .
The global brands of Altra Industrial Motion will be out in full force in Las Vegas , showcasing a range of reliable power transmission components to meet the most demanding mining applications .
Altra heavy-duty clutches and brakes , engineered couplings , holdbacks and backstopping clutches , heavy-duty speed reducers , geared motors and belted drives provide exceptional performance on inclined , declined and overland conveyors , ball and SAG mills , crushers , sizers , shovels and draglines , and winders and hoists , according to the company .
While Altra products are used on a variety of mine equipment , particular focus will be on mine conveyor applications at the Altra booth .
“ Altra brands continue to keep inclined , declined and overland mine and quarry conveyors running smoothly and safely around the world ,” the company said . “ These capabilities will be highlighted with actual products installed on two full-size conveyor pulley drives on our booth .”
Specific components on the drive displays will include a Stromag TDXB thruster brake and disc , a Svendborg Brakes BSFI 3000 caliper brake , HPU , SOBO controller and disc , a Stieber RDBK high-speed releasable backstop , a Marland BCMA low-speed backstop and Ameridrives gear coupling and hubs .
Other products to be showcased include the Stromag SAB drum brake , Twiflex VMS-DP and GMR caliper brakes and a Turning , Locking and Braking system .
Altra Industry ’ s “ 4.0 technologies ” are , the company says , empowering mine operators to significantly improve productivity . User benefits include real-time remote access and condition monitoring to optimise equipment reliability and service life while reducing the cost and time associated with maintenance .
Svendborg Brakes recently launched a multipurpose IIoT gateway designed to monitor environments , processes , or position ( s ) and connections to external sensors . The unit can transfer any data from various sources and interfaces through the LPWAN Narrowband IIoT , GPRS , Wi-Fi or Ethernet . Key information on braking operations and component status is collected , including system pressure , current state of the brake and its piston , brake fluid level and temperature .
Svendborg Brakes will also introduce a Universal Control Case ( UCCase ) at the event . The portable case is used as a tool for remote support and data visualisation during commissioning or service of brake systems , including all HPUs ( two-stage , on / off ) and all SOBO ® ( soft braking ) systems . Visualisation , coupled with analytical models , facilitate the diagnosis of the brake system behaviour , and can foresee and advise action to prevent malfunction , according to the company .
Marland Clutch offers the Smart Marland Monitoring System for use with its CECON and BCMA clutches . The system provides up-to-theminute remote access to critical operating conditions including vibration , temperature and oil level .
Stromag ’ s SIMAN Intelligent Safety Management System is designed to monitor all

operation parameters of braking system HPUs that control the emergency brakes . The advanced system pilots the opening and closing of the brakes and indicates and records any operational faults or inconsistencies . It can be used with all types of HPUs , regardless of functionality , according to Stromag .
Hannay Reels , a leader in high-quality hose and cable reels for OEM and aftermarket applications , has a significant offering to display across its MINExpo booth .
The company will exhibit products designed with unique features for mining under ground , under water and above ground . Ruggedly designed with the highest-quality materials , Hannay says its reels are ideal for a wide variety of applications including re-fuelling , breathing air , utility air , water lines , lube , grease , welding for equipment maintenance , electric cable for remote lighting , generators , communications , video inspection , blasting , hydro-excavation , firefighting and more .
Reels that will be shown at this year ’ s MINExpo include : n The N700 Series , which , Hannay says , is the most versatile spring rewind reel available for lube , air , water , high pressure , washdown , pneumatic tools and more . This reel features a non-sparking ratchet assembly and a declutching arbour to prevent damage from reverse winding . A four-way roller assembly and compact footprint eases installation ; n The 900 Series is a spring rewind reel with a heavy-duty roll-formed channel frame construction for bulk fluid transfer , fuel dispensing , suction , or discharge . This reel has a non-sparking ratchet assembly and declutching arbour to prevent damage from
