LINATEX LOCTITE - LINA 88 is a miningindustry-first , solvent-free adhesive range for rubber lining applications with zero volatile organic compounds
One of these is LINATEX ® LOCTITE ® - LINA 88™ , a mining-industry-first , solvent-free adhesive range for rubber lining applications with zero volatile organic compounds , delivering multiple environmental and safety benefits , as well as best-in-class bond strength , the company says .
The company will also use the event to showcase its Synertrex ® Intelligence Ecosystem , which continuously monitors and assesses equipment condition and performance . This information is then converted into actionable insights and recommendations , providing operators with unrivalled real-time decision support , according to Weir Minerals .
There will also be a sand wash plant solution on display . Designed to remove excess fines or coarse material , this solution provides exceptional washing results while delivering a clean , low moisture product for conveying or stockpiling , the company says .
Fossil-free steel
SSAB will be showcasing its fossil-free steel for people to touch in Munich for the first time .
The very first steel plate was produced with hydrogenreduced sponge iron at SSAB in Oxelösund , Sweden , on August 18 , 2021 , and delivered to Volvo Group .
A cutoff of that steel plate will be on display at the show , with its sustainability experts explaining the unique
HYBRIT technology and how fossil-free steel can be used as a platform for creating end-customer products that largely eliminate greenhouse gas emissions .
In 2016 , SSAB , LKAB ( Europe ’ s largest iron ore producer ) and Vattenfall ( one of Europe ’ s largest energy companies ) joined forces to create HYBRIT . Using HYBRIT technology , SSAB aims to replace coking coal , traditionally needed for orebased steelmaking , with fossil-free electricity and hydrogen . It aims to be the first steel company in the world to bring fossil-free steel to the market .
Volvo Construction Equipment , part of the Volvo Group , recently became the first manufacturer to deliver a construction machine to a customer built using SSAB fossil-free steel .
The Volvo machine , an A30G articulated hauler , was handed over from Volvo CE to NCC earlier this year . The milestone came just nine months after Volvo unveiled the world ’ s first vehicle concept using fossil-free steel as part of testing the implementation in an ordinary production setup , and ten months after SSAB showcased the first steel ever made using hydrogen instead of coking coal .
SSAB ’ s Hardox ® 500 Tuf wear-resistant steel and Strenx ® high-strength structural steel will also be on display at the event as the company highlights its current commercial offering for multiple industries .

A new screen class
Haver & Boecker Niagara ’ s next-generation Niagara T-Class vibrating screen will be one of the highlights on the company ’ s Bauma stand .
The T-Class , Haver & Boecker Niagara says , retains the technical benefits the original concentric technology is known for while improving screening uptime and performance with new features . It provides producers with a cost-effective , maintenance-friendly solution to process a wide range of materials within industries including mining .
The T-Class deck frame is now primarily lockbolted rather than welded to provide optimum strength , reliability and safety . Lockbolts have proven to be more effective in ensuring the machine ’ s structural integrity than welding in the demanding , load-bearing , highvibration operation of a vibrating screen , the company says . The robustness of the machine also permits cross beams to be positioned and lockbolted every 1.2 m instead of every 0.6 m , allowing for better clearance and easier maintenance .
The new design allows producers to upgrade their vibrating screen with Haver & Boecker Niagara ’ s new Drop Guard system , further minimising maintenance . The liners provide 100 % cross beam protection , both reducing wear and extending the life of the vibrating screen , according to the company . The system drops over the cross beam with no adhesive or tools required , making installation quick and easy , it says .
Additionally , Haver & Boecker Niagara redesigned the flat deck frames of the new T- Class vibrating screen for simplified maintenance . The pin and anchor deck frame is adaptable to virtually any pin-style modular screen media . It features polyurethane anchors that are easy to replace and prevent premature wear on the deck frame . Additionally , the open design of the modular deck prevents material build-up on the bar rails . The cap and slide deck frame , meanwhile , is adaptable to virtually any groove-style modular screen media and features full rail protection .
The T-Class can be manufactured for sidetensioned or bottom deck end-tensioned screen media . Each new side-tensioned machine comes with Haver & Boecker Niagara ’ s signature Ty- Rail™ quick-tensioning system , which cuts screen change-out times in half , the company claims .
Duncan High , the Product Manager behind Haver & Boecker Niagara ’ s new T-Class design , said : “ The new , more robust T-Class was designed specifically to offer more strength in the middle of the machine – where it ’ s needed most . Each update was engineered with ease of maintenance in mind , to keep downtime low while providing cost efficiency .
