Get more uptime with Ammann’s ARX 10.1, ARS 30 and ARS 50 rollers

Ammann showcased its exciting new group of ARX 10.1, ARS 30 and ARS 50 rollers at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023. All the rollers require less maintenance, offering their users increased uptime.

Designed for the most challenging of situations, the ARS 30 and ARS 50 rollers have maintenance-free articulation and oscillations joints, and a drum system that you will never need to touch. All that is needed is engine service, says Juan Rodriguez, Ammann engineer and product specialist.

The ARX 10.1 features cleverly-designed drums, allowing users to work right up to the edge of obstacles such as walls, removing the need for a second pass with a different machine.

Take a look at the all-electric ATR 68 rammer, too. It is another low-maintenance machine. The lack of a traditional engine means no clogged air filters, low noise levels, and minimum dust. What’s not to like?

Emissions approach enables FPT to make F34 and F36 engines compact, powerful

At that time, FPT recognised SCR was the better emissions solution, although pursuing it would be expensive. “Developing engine emissions is not cheap,” said Braden Cammauf, brand vice president of North America for the company.

FPT stuck with SCR and now holds a number of patents on the technology. The company’s engines require only 7% EGR. “What happens with full EGR?” Cammauf asked. “You have a huge radiator.”

The F34 and the F36 Tier 4 Final/Stage V engines do not have that large radiator, and therefore are more much compact and light, Cammauf said.

The F34 powerpack stands out for low operating costs and extremely easy maintenance in a compact layout, the company said. This solution with mounted ATS allows for layout optimisation and plug-and-play installation. The Tier 4 Final compliant ATS, without DPF, minimizes engine downtime and operating costs with a 600-hour service interval.

Engine displacement of the F34 is 3.4 litres. Maximum power is 55 kW and torque is 318 Nm.

Cammauf describes FPT as the “biggest engine company no one has ever heard of.” In the past the engines were branded by other OEMs. The company is now branding them as FPT – an acronym for Fiat Powertrain Technologies.

Nearly 20 years after committing to SCR, FPT faces another decision: which engine power source to pursue? They are exploring hybrid, battery, biodiesel, methane, hydrogen fuel cells, combustible hydrogen, e-axles and e-transmissions.

Once again, FPT will not necessarily take the convenient, or even cheapest, path.

“We’re keeping our options open,” Cammauf said. “We have multiple viable answers and we’re going to invest in every one.”

Push up profits with SBM’s JAWMAX 400 hybrid-electric crusher

The JAWMAX 400 is described by its designer as a “solid middle-class track-mounted mobile jaw crusher - easy to transport while offering great performance and output at the same time.” Ideal for the recycling market, the JAWMAX 400 dry jaw crusher features one of the most advanced hybrid diesel-electric drive concepts on the market. A combination of fuel-efficient onboard diesel and performance-tuned generator powers the plant’s materials processing.

The unit is part of the SBM mobile plant range which comprises 12 track-mounted JAWMAX jaw crushers and REMAX impact crushers, capable of 250–800tonnes/hour production.
All of the units in the range share the same innovative drive concept, with fewer hydraulics ensuring fewer failures, lower maintenance and parts inventory costs, and higher availability, says SBM.

Overall savings from running the plants can be 40-75%. Electrified, automated, and money-saving, the JAWMAX 400 is the perfect crushing machine says SBM. “Easy to handle and easy to operate, the crusher can make you more profit,” says Helmut Haider, head of sales for SBM Mineral Processing.

New SmartROC T25 R surface drill rig from Epiroc

The SmartROC T25 R is a radio-remote rig built on a new platform and offers features including an exceptional coverage area, excellent terrain ability and application versatility. These are backed up by a smart Rig Control System (RCS) and future-proof digital functions that are designed to improve efficiency and help to reduce the rig’s climate impact through fuel savings.

The machine will be launched initially on the Scandinavian market later this year, with a full global rollout in 2024.

Global product manager Marcus Leu said the rig offers greater stability and balance to increase safety. “These rigs operate on unprepared ground, and we have lowered the centre of gravity,” he added. “The SmartROC T25 R has new features including the ability to drill sideways which enables applications such as small tunnels and vertical shafts.

“The machine offers a coverage area of 45m2 which is three times greater than the 15m2 that we currently have.”

Another new feature is being able to choose between rubber and steel tracks on the machine.

Epiroc is also rolling out an upgraded version of the advanced SmartROC T40 tophammer rig for quarrying and construction. It is claimed to consume less diesel than any other diesel-hydraulic rig in its class and offers superior performance even under the toughest drilling conditions.

The manufacturer says the rig’s fuel efficiency reduces environmental impact and costs. It also comes with smart features and options that boost productivity, including enhanced automation which helps to increase both drilling consistency and output.

In addition Epiroc is introducing the new DTH 5 hammer, which it says represents a significant upgrade that gives more drilled meters per shift and the versatility needed to tackle any type of rock and task. The design offers 12 configurations and a 5% higher penetration rate compared to its predecessor and lasts approximately 10% longer. For the operator this translates into more productive and profitable workdays with fewer time-consuming and heavy changes of tools.
