Mendiger Basalt upgrades to Epiroc HB 7000 Hydraulic Breaker

Mendiger Basalt upgrades to Epiroc HB 7000 Hydraulic Breaker

Mendiger Basalt Schmitz Naturstein GmbH & Co. KG has recently chosen to upgrade its operations with the Epiroc HB 7000 hydraulic breaker. This decision reflects the company's ongoing efforts to improve efficiency and sustainability at its basalt quarry in the scenic Eifel region of Germany. Having relied on Epiroc hydraulic breakers for primary breaking since 2012, Mendiger Basalt's transition to the HB 7000 marks a significant advancement in its equipment lineup. The new HB 7000 hydraulic breaker is outfitted with the HATCON fleet management system, which aims to further streamline Mendiger Basalt's operations. A notable aspect of this upgrade is Mendiger Basalt's adoption of a full-service rental agreement for the first time. This comprehensive agreement covers not just equipment maintenance, but also wear parts and consumables, ensuring optimal performance and minimal downti... more

Alumtek Minerals achieves breakthrough in SCM production

Alumtek Minerals (AM), has recently completed research and development on bauxite residue waste, commonly known as ‘red mud’. As well as developing a process to extract the critical minerals vanadium, titanium and gallium, AM’s process also extracts aluminium hydroxide and a high purity iron oxide. Most notably, AM has developed a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) meeting the stringent Australian Standard AS3582.4. This milestone comes as a result of a Cooperative Research Centres Project (CRCP) grant, showcasing the company's commitment to innovation and sustainability. Red mud is an alkaline by-product of the alumina industry and is usually stored in tailing dams. In cement production, it requires less processing than clinker production, leading to a number of key benefits for miners and cement manufacturers. Collaborating closely with Cement Australia over th... more
Thiess to use Toyota Australia’s first locally-assembled hydrogen generator

Thiess first to use Toyota Australia’s locally-assembled hydrogen generator

Toyota Australia has announced Thiess will be the first customer to receive the locally assembled EODev GEH2 stationary power generator. This was confirmed by Matthew Callachor, president and CEO of Toyota Australia — during a ceremony marking the completion of the first GEH2 generator assembled at the company's Altona, Victoria, location.

Sandvik’s Golden Shank delivers unmatched corrosion protection

Sandvik is introducing the Golden Shank, a patented corrosion protection coating for greatly increased service life and lower drilling cost per meter. The shank adapter encounters harsh conditions in many underground mines due to the use of highly corrosive water as flushing media. During its lifetime it must endure challenges such as reduced fatigue properties, stress corrosion cracking and embrittlement. Sandvik’s new Golden Shank is equipped with a patented, low-friction, nickel-plated coating with a polymer top sealant for improved corrosion resistance. Applied throughout the entire shank and flushing slot, except for the striking area, this unique coating minimizes wear on flushing seals and rock drill parts and reduces breakages on other rig and tool machine parts. Field tests confirm 30-100 percent longer product life. Reaching further between service intervals enables ... more
