Moving to Electric Power


  • The rationale behind the move to power both the rail-bound and crawler loaders electrically came from the knowledge that compressed air is the single highest energy-related cost on a deep level mine, and any reduction in its dependance would be welcomed by mine management.

    •

     

  • Secondly, adding to the losses in compressed air reticulation, at night the compressors are increasingly only operating to power the loaders, so the energy efficiency, as a ratio of pneumatic power available to the loader divided by power input to the surface compressor, is extremely low, reportedly less than 10%.

    •  

  • The electric remote-control system enables the
    operator to finely adjust the motor torque
    applied and hence the acceleration of the bucket

    Salzgitter HL380U Air loaders


    The Salzgitter HL380U air loader sets the benchmark in pneumatic throw loaders (also referred to as rocker shovel loader). Developed from the original German designed HL221T and HL221TSL loaders, the HL380U was re-designed by Salzgitter's local engineers to offer the South African hard rock mining sector a powerful and reliable air loader.

    Since its introduction, the Salzgitter HL380U Loader has proven to be the loader of choice amongst the major mining houses operating in this market. The HL380U typically excavates haulages 3 to 4 m high and 3 to 4 metres wide in flat development, and is particularly effective in high speed development.
