Normet Unveils Advanced Explosives Charging, Scaling, and Rock Breaking Solutions at MinExpo 2024
At MinExpo 2024, Normet unveiled two machines specifically engineered for the unique requirements of the US aggregate mining industry, while also being adaptable for other underground operations with a large tunnel profile worldwide.
The Scamec LC Thor 135 T and the Charmec LF 1105 DA are engineered to elevate efficiency, safety, and productivity. These purpose-built machines tackle critical challenges in scaling and ANFO charging, offering advanced features designed to meet the rigorous conditions of underground mining.
The Scamec LC Thor 135 T is a heavy-duty scaling machine designed for gallery sizes up to 40 x 40 feet / 12 x 12 meters, featuring a robust chassis, low-emission engine technology, and a high-reach boom. It is available with a rotary head cutter or a hydraulic hammer. Stability is ensured with a heavy-duty carrier and extendable, durable support legs, even when scaling the lowest side corners. The FOPS and ROPS certified cabin, designed with operator safety and comfort in mind, includes enhanced visibility and unique 30-inch / 750 mm lift and 25° tilt features.
Herkko Juntunen, Product Line Director of Scaling, remarked,
Meanwhile, the Charmec LF 1105 DA is a versatile ANFO charger featuring a robust basket boom, designed for gallery sizes up to 56 x 33 feet / 17 x 10 meters. With a total bulk ANFO capacity of up to 5,000 lbs / 2,270 kg, dual ANSI-conforming ANFO pots, and an 1,100 lbs / 500 kg basket lifting capacity, it ensures a highly effective charging process.
states Anssi Mykkänen, Product Line Director for Explosives Charging.
The LF 1105 DA prioritizes safety with features such as a FOPS and ROPS certified cabin, US-made antistatic charging hoses, comprehensive fire safety systems, and a robust electrical design suited for harsh conditions. The onboard compressor and ANFO moistening system further enhance performance by ensuring high flow rates and reducing dust creation.
The introduction of these machines underscores Normet's commitment to advancing mining technology. By focusing on safety, efficiency, and reliability, the Scamec LC Thor 135 T and Charmec LF 1105 DA are set to redefine standards in both aggregate mining and other underground operations with a large tunnel profile.
Normet also introduced Xquick, a quick coupler system that marks a significant advancement in mining technology. This innovative system features automated, cabin-controlled tool changes, minimizing the need for manual labor and reducing the risk of injuries. With secure connections and automatic operation, the system ensures clean, safe, and reliable performance, streamlining operations and enhancing worker safety.
