Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology will showcase several innovative solutions at ConExpo-Con/AGG, which takes place in Las Vegas March 10-14. The focus is, as always, on new technologies and methods supporting customers to improve their safety, productivity and sustainability even further.
ConExpo-Con/AGG gives Sandvik the opportunity to interact with customers from the global construction industry and introduce to them the very latest developments in technology and services, together with the value those solutions can deliver to a customer's operations through the support of its global sales, service and distributor organization.
Some of the cornerstones of the extensive Sandvik offering of equipment and services will be on display, as well as promoted through the very latest digital technology, demonstrating why it is a supplier of choice in application areas including rock drilling, rock cutting, crushing and screening, loading and hauling, tunneling, quarrying and breaking and demolition.
Leopard DI650i down-the-hole (DTH) drill rig is designed for demanding high-capacity production drilling applications in surface mining, as well as large-scale quarry applications. In addition to a powerful engine and compressor, Leopard DI650i incorporates a highly ergonomic iCAB cabin, excellent serviceability, mobility and fuel economy, along with scalable automation packages, to offer excellent overall productivity, according to the manufacturer.
In addition to the actual drill rig being on display, visitors will be able to try out its performance using the Leopard DI650i drilling simulator to guide them through the whole drilling process. Presented at the show for the first time, SanRemo Mobile is a mobile device-based connectivity solution for Sandvik surface drill rigs which quickly and easily transfers cost-effective drill plans, reports and other drilling data to increase operational efficiency.
As a supplier of rock tools, Sandvik focuses on increased safety, sustainability and overall continuous improvement. The company offers a full drill string from top to bottom, with drilling tools designed for reliability, performance and longevity. In addition to the supply of rock tools, Sandvik's range of added services and digital solutions support drilling operations to achieve the lowest total drilling costs — every day, all year round.
Also, within the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) segment, Inrock — an industry-recognized global leader — provides products and services for customer applications such as oil and gas pipelines, water and sewer, telecommunications, electricity and alternative energy production and storage.
Sandvik UJ440i is an intelligent, fuel-efficient and user-friendly mobile jaw crusher. It is a high-quality, robust and reliable unit that has proved itself capable of working throughout the world in all climate conditions, according to the manufacturer.
Customer benefits include trouble-free operation due to the mobile jaw crusher's onboard integrated "intelligence" system. This allows for simplicity of operation, as the UJ440i is continuously and automatically monitored by the control system that operates the unit, enabling full optimization of production.
Designed on a fully tracked chassis and operated via radio remote control, the UJ440i is fitted with the Sandvik CJ412 jaw 47 by 33 in. (120 by 83 cm), which offers great size reduction and consistent production, thereby maximizing uptime and more efficient operation. Specifically suited to aggregate production and mining applications, the model is very versatile and can be offered in three different variants to suit the customer's specific application.
Also on display from Sandvik's mobile crushing and screening offering is the modular double deck hanging screen, which connects to Sandvik QH332, QS332 and QI442 tracked crushers. Unique benefits of the screen include its ability to be quickly adapted for operation in open or closed circuit configurations, an adjustment system that allows the screen to be quickly reconfigured to recirculate and produce a single sized finished product or two-sized finished product. The complete module, including screen measuring 12 ft. by 5 in. (3.5 by 1.4 m), can be installed or removed from the plant in less than 30 minutes, without the need for any onsite lifting equipment.
To provide visitors with an insight into the latest developments within Sandvik's mobile crushing and screening offering, this year's stand display will bring a different dimension: augmented reality will enable users to view inside the equipment and take a virtual walk-around to experience the innovative features.
The new Sandvik CH840i cone crusher features mechanical upgrades, connectivity, advanced automation and rebuild possibilities — predicting performance, maximizing uptime and offering the best in sustainability at the lowest possible cost. It comes with the automation and connectivity system (ACS) as standard, to continuously monitor and optimize crusher performance and control the complete lubrication system, increasing uptime and reliability.
Connected to My Sandvik, Sandvik 800i crushers enable managers and operators to make fact-based decisions and directly identify areas for improvement, increasing uptime and availability.
Sandvik's new SJ circular motion screen range is specially designed for extra heavy-duty, medium and fine screening applications. This inclined screen range is ideal for screening after primary and secondary crushing, as a splitter screen to divide flows within a plant and for final screening of a finished fraction. With a wide variety of options and adjustability, the new screening range can be optimized to each application.
Digital driller is a compact and flexible solution to safely train operators or maintenance teams on Sandvik underground drills DD422i, DD422iE, DT922i and DL421.Operators learn via a realistic simulator, optimizing their transition to the real machine. Digital Driller acts like a real rig, operating with authentic controls and combined with the same control system software as that installed on the actual machines. It is fully integrated with iSURE software, a tunnel management tool for accurate drilling, charging and blasting plans.
The latest hammer offering from Rammer Excellence and Rammer Performance Lines will be on display, as well as Rammer's purpose-developed RD3 remote monitoring device. RD3 uses the MyFleet Telematics service to track and monitor fleet equipment usage without needing to go to site to collect the data — ideal for dealers, rental companies and operators.
Rammer cutter-crushers, pulverizers, grapples, shears and multiprocessors are designed to perform a broad array of duties. Engineered for both primary and secondary applications, these products provide optimum operational flexibility. The attachments can cut, crush, segregate and pulverize a wide variety of construction materials to facilitate more controlled dismantling, effective recycling and material handling.
Sandvik Parts & Services deliver solutions to enhance the value, reliability and productivity at every stage of the machine's lifetime. A key focus area is to facilitate progress from preventive maintenance to predictive maintenance strategies. New digital services offerings, including "Remote Monitoring Services" and "Expertise-On-Site" have been launched and proven their value, according to the maufacturer.
A new My Sandvik 2.0 platform will continue to develop digital services to improve lifecycle cost, uptime and equipment reliability.
