Heavy bolting applications in the mining and steel industry
Our sales partner in Brazil, JCA Soluções, has been promoting our alkitronic® torque multipliers for years, especially for applications in the mining and steel in- dustry. Reason enough to point out some of some interesting bolting applications in this industrial sector.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The mining industry, which is a strong eco- nomic sector in Brazil in particular, requires high performance machinery to, among other things, crush, and process rocks and miner- als. Some of these machines weigh several tons and are not always easily accessible for maintenance work. The machines which are in daily use also require regular and, above all, fast maintenance. Heavy vehicles such as excavators and dump trucks are also reg- ularly needed on the construction site in quarries and mines. They also require regu- lar and reliable maintenance and service.
JCA Soluções bolts in addition to conven- tional construction machinery such as exca- vators, dump trucks in the mining industry, also so-called shredders, and crushers, which are used for the processing and reduc- tion of raw rock material.
In addition to the mining industry, JCA also uses our products in the steel industry.
Maintenance with the highest safety precau- tions is an extremely complex routine pro- cess and requires highest concentration, as well as the right tools.
For the maintenance of a shredder, for ex- ample, highest power and precision was re- quired. This was achieved with the alkitronic® EF 4000. The client was one of the largest steel construction companies in Brazil.
THE SOLUTION
Whether electric, battery-driven, or hydraulic torque multipliers, alkitronic® offers the right tool for every application, thanks to its wide and specialized product range.
For bolting applications on excavators and heavy construction machinery in the mining and steel industry, highest precision and safety is required. For this reason the electric torque multiplier EFCip and the battery - driven torque multiplier EAF are the preferred tools.
Bolting with the battery-driven torque multiplier EAF is precise and safe. The alkitronic® multipliers are particularly suitable for use in confined spaces. The maintenance-free and low-wear brushless synchronous motor allows numerous boltings in sequence.
Due to its angled construction, the electric torque multiplier alkitronic® ECWip is also suitable for working in confined spaces, such as mines or steel mills. This torque multiplier can also be used on all international power grids and does not require a great deal of checking during use. This again leads to time savings.
