Indeco steel shears re-worked

Indeco has totally redesigned its ISS steel shears. On show at the bauma stand was the ISS 30/50; the manufacturer aims to introduce the new features to the entire range in the future. “Our customers were asking us whether we could increase the speed of the steel shear, increase the clamping force and reduce the wear,” said Indeco technical specialist Alessandro Ciccolella. “We improved the cyclinder’s hydraulic line to give much more speed and we used a new, special material for the blade to increase th

237 Indeco has totally redesigned its ISS steel shears. On show at the bauma stand was the ISS 30/50; the manufacturer aims to introduce the new features to the entire range in the future.

“Our customers were asking us whether we could increase the speed of the steel shear, increase the clamping force and reduce the wear,” said Indeco technical specialist Alessandro Ciccolella. “We improved the cyclinder’s hydraulic line to give much more speed and we used a new, special material for the blade to increase the life of the blade.”

The new shears also look different: they are shorter in length, but achieve a wider jaw opening.

    The latest developments in drilling rigs can help boost efficiency in quarry producion applications - Mike Woof reports. Efficient drilling and blasting operations can have a huge impact on production costs in quarrying. Accuracy of hole direction and depth, as well as optimum blast design and explosives use, are critical for efficient blasting work. Ineffective blasting can result in high quantities of fines of low commercial value as well as over-sized material requiring secondary breaking. This impacts o
