New life for old equipment

New life for old equipment

Long experience in the mines of Bulgaria has led the Sanrock team to the largest mine complex in Serbia. Here, the company's specialists are faced with the identical case of extending consumable life at the best price.

The latest example is the just-repaired 15 m3 bucket on a KOMATSU PC 3000-6E hydraulic mining excavator, for which we supplied materials for its renewal.

And because trust is at the heart of our work, on this project it proved to be a key factor, in unison with our partners' agreement that in tough working conditions, consumables should not be compromised. That is why we proposed the well-known ESCO S-Posilok mining system suitable for implementation on 300 tonne machines. We have refined the total weight so as not to increase it excessively, thus not hampering the machine's operation and helping to increase its efficiency. We have added Toplok spacers, corners, additional bracing and side protectors.

We liked the end product - the old veteran is ready to get back in the trench.
