BAUMA PREVIEW
PAUS transport mixer is a reliable partner for successful concrete works in underground mining , it says .
The UNI 50-5 carrier can also be provided with further superstructure such as fuel tanks , lubricant service , water tanker , fire tanker , loading platform with crane and many more . Further to that , PAUS is offering a variety of customised configurations and options to meet the individual requirements of the different underground operations and conditions . The carrier can also be equipped with different types of changeable systems for carrying cassettemounted superstructures .
PAUS delivers the UNI 50-5 BM-TM with an engine power of up to 173 kW with Deutz or Mercedes Benz engines . The machine can also be fitted with Stage V compliant engines .
The PAUS dump truck PMKM 8030 , meanwhile , is designed for narrow-vein operations , with a compact yet powerful configuration .
The combination of the improved design and characteristics with the latest electronics and a preliminary setup for smart equipment will provide a future-oriented solution in terms of operator comfort and safety , but also efficiency , productivity and operating cost for haulage in narrow-vein mines .
The well-established sister machine , PMKM 8010 , is designed with less width at increased length and height , but the new PMKM 8030 comes with a broader , shorter and narrower design at a reduced loading height and with improved driving characteristics thanks to the lowered centre of gravity , larger tyres and new axles with integrated oscillation , PAUS says .
With a payload of 16,000 kg , the machine is fitted as standard with a 8 cu . m dump box and can be further customised for transport of bulk materials with higher or lower densities .
The machine is also available with smart systems like a bird ’ s eye view camera , tyre pressure control and load weighing , all of which can be wireless monitored and displayed via PAUS CONNECT .
The PMKM 8030 comes with a rotating driver ’ s seat for long distances of driving backward at high speeds ( bidirectional ) and a spacious and comfortable cab . It also comes with a choice of different Cummins and
Caterpillar diesel engines
PAUS ’ PScale series allows operators to adjust and check hammer parameters directly at the face instead of adjustments on the surface
complying with varying regulations and offering power of up to 190 kW .
The machine also includes the PAUS standard safety package for underground mining machines , eg SAHR brakes , a ROPS / FOPS cabin , enhanced LED lighting , etc .
PAUS concluded : “ The multifaceted portfolio , the variety of options and the customised features available along with our machines will provide the basis for almost every task – it doesn ’ t matter how individual the solution needs to be .”
PAUS says it is already working on new solutions like a special mine rescue vehicle – currently being developed in cooperation with Dräger and a major European supplier for firefighting equipment . In addition to that , the “ Scale Sense ” project of the Germany-based RWTH Aachen University – for the detection of loose rock to use with PAUS scalers – is close to reaching the next development stage for extended field testing .
SBTi-backed initiatives
Volvo Penta ’ s commitment to supporting the current and future needs of mining and construction customers will be in sharp focus when it returns to Bauma in October .
Showcasing its plans to provide future sustainable power solutions to meet the industry ’ s net-zero ambitions , the company ’ s display will provide an overview of how its current portfolio of ultra-efficient D5 to D16 diesel engines – and EU Stage V- compliant models , in particular – has resulted in technological advances and market share gains that support its transformation journey . The latest major innovation supporting Volvo Penta ’ s Science Based Targets initiative ( SBTi ) - backed plans to reach net-zero value chain emissions by 2040 will take pride of place on its booth .
The electric driveline , which recently entered production in Rosenbauer ’ s RT and RTX fire trucks , was originally unveiled in 2019 as a proof of concept in a modified terminal tractor , highlighting the versatility and configurability of Volvo Penta ’ s electric solutions . This platform could possibly be scaled up for mining-class mobile equipment .
Morgan Blomgren , Director Strategy & Business Development for Volvo Penta , said : “ We take a system-supplier approach which means that we can create a flexible , bespoke electric driveline solution for a specific vehicle and application . We are very experienced in a variety of different segments , so , by using that knowledge and combining it with the Volvo Group ’ s proven electromobility experience , we can build the best modular platform for our customer ’ s applications .
“ With that as a base , we can optimise the design and adapt the complete electric driveline system for a specific vehicle , considering the exact application , usage , climate and environment it will operate in .”
