Sweden's Sandvik to increase rock drill production
in Finland 2.
Sandvik will invest to consolidate its position as a leading rock drill manufacturer in the mining industry 2. The phased expansion will initially increase rock drill production capacity by 25%, with the possibility of a further 20%. "We are seeing a growing demand for rock drills for surface and underground mining and civil engineering applications, driven by aftermarket growth and drilling equipment sales," said Petri Virrankoski, president
of Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions' Surface Drilling Division. "This investment will strengthen our position as a leader in the development and manufacture of rock drills." The first phase of the
project, to be completed by the end of 2024, includes the design and construction of a 1,600 square metre expansion of the existing production facility. The new machine will also be integrated into the plant's flexible manufacturing system, featuring automation and autonomous mobile robots.
Depending on the development of demand, the 1,600-square-meter expansion area can also install more new machine tools in 2025, providing more production capacity by 2027.
"Sandvik rock drills have been known for their high quality, durability and reliability for more than 50 years," says Timo Laitinen, vice president of Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions' rock drill business. "Our facility expansion will house state-of-the-art production equipment, which will help us maintain this reputation as we meet the growing demand for rock drills."
Metso is committed to the global expansion
of the Jonsson brand business line." Its business is mainly concentrated in northern Europe, but Jonsson machines are now available all over the world. The 133-tonne Jonsson C120-330 mobile crusher was on display at the steinexpo quarry equipment show in Niederofleiden, Germany,
this week. The machine is transportable and takes about two hours to set up.
"Most of our customers (Jonsson machines) are quarry operators," Nakari said.
All Jonsson machines are electric, and Nakari says the C120-330 is unique because it has two crushers on the same chassis-a jaw crusher and a cone crusher.
Jonsson large machines include primary crushers from 80 tons to 150 tons. "We also have five cone models and a lot of screeners," Nakari said.
Six years
after steinexpo, the 11th steinexpo was held in ohm, Germany, on August 23-26.
this year's exhibition is QuarryVision, which focuses on the future of the mineral processing industry and the new technologies being used in the industry.
These technologies include alternative fuels for quarrying equipment, and Volvo Construction Equipment chose steinexpo to demonstrate the operation of its HX04 hydrogen fuel cell truck for the first time at a public exhibition. Automation technology is also on display in the prototype 23-ton excavator of the
Caterpillar Prototype 323, which can be remotely controlled by the operator in a purpose-built cab. Holger Schulz, managing director of Zeppelin Baumaschinen,
Caterpillar's exclusive distributor in Germany, said the automatic excavator is particularly useful in situations where the driver may be exposed to danger, such as removing explosives and dismantling nuclear power plants. The remote control capability also means operators can control multiple machines, which Schulz said helps address the "talent shortage" and shortage of skilled workers facing the quarrying and construction industries. Geoplan, the
show's organizer, says 30,000 tickets have been sold online for this year's steinexpo, with about 50,000 professional visitors by the time it closes on Saturday, Aug. 26. About 300 exhibitors and 440 brands participated in the exhibition
this year. China's crushing and screening equipment manufacturer Mestar made its first appearance at the European exhibition. Wang Baojian, vice president of international cooperation of
Guangxi Meisida Group, said that their goal is to push the company to the international market, especially in highland and promising areas such as Germany and other European countries. "Star has been promoting electric mobile machinery in China from the very beginning,"
he added. After ten years of development, sustainable and environmentally friendly power solutions have always been a very important value of Mestar, and we hope to provide this value to the market.
