Sandvik is introducing its subsequent era bolter miner for longwall mining. The Sandvik MB672 options the newest bolting applied sciences to extend productiveness, enhance security and ergonomics for operators and scale back whole price of possession.
Constructing on the confirmed reliability of Sandvik MB670-1, the upgraded Sandvik MB672 is purpose-engineered for longwall mining operations. As underground coal mining continues to embrace automation and digitalisation to boost security and effectivity, Sandvik is advancing bolting know-how with modern options designed to automate the bolting course of. These developments mark a big step towards attaining bolting automation within the close to future.
Moreover, the fully-automated chopping cycle, often called Cutronic®, permits constant, quicker and extra correct development, considerably lowering panel improvement time in steady floor circumstances. This not solely enhances operational effectivity but in addition reduces put on and tear on the Sandvik MB672, extending its service life and lowering its operational prices. The machine, which options an optimised, ergonomic operator platform, is accessible in each excessive and low operational configurations, every designed to satisfy particular operational wants.
Constructing on a long-established modern sump body mechanism that integrates chopping and bolting to allow simultaneous materials chopping and floor assist set up, Sandvik has now taken the following step towards bolting automation, advancing mining productiveness whereas considerably enhancing operator security.
