Changing the hydraulic fluid is not usually the first thought that comes to mind when looking to improve the performance of machines, but can in fact lead to up to 30% lower fuel consumption under extreme conditions, claims Evonik Industries. Hydraulic fluids featuring Evonik's DYNAVIS technology, such as those from Total and Indian Oil, are able to offer this and other benefits.
When compared with hydraulic equipment operating with conventional monograde hydraulic fluids, DYNAVIS-formulated hydraulic
Liebherr is working together with Teufelberger to develop a high-strength fibre rope for use with cranes. This innovative rope will be suitable for use in tower cranes, mobile cranes and crawler cranes and Liebherr is carrying out field tests at present on a number of different cranes. Austrian firm Teufelberger is a leader in the field of crane ropes. This project is being carried out jointly between Liebherr engineers from various divisions, as well as Teufelberger.
BHS-Sonthofen’s new vertical shaft impact (VSI) rotor centrifugal crusher (RSMX) offers a throughput rate of up to 580tonnes/hour, depending on the properties of the feeding material and the desired final product.
With TwinDrive for the first time (a double drive), the first delivered machine is said to have proved to be a success in the treatment of gold-containing ores.
A compact rotor with two generously dimensioned centrifugal chambers is mounted on a vertically positioned shaft in the VSI rotor c
MOBA is now offering a sophisticated excavator control package that has been developed in partnership with Finnish firm Novatron.
