New Machines and Services at MINExpo 2012

At MINExpo, Sandvik will unveil a bold portfolio of innovative equipment and services, including a new dimension of comminution. The exhibition will mark the world premier for Sandvik's revolutionary eco-efficient comminution machine – a machine which produces a finer mill feed thereby boosting the downstream milling process. This innovative solution from Sandvik will help customers productively address the energy challenges facing them both now and in the future.

Sandvik will also launch other machines which feature safety-oriented designs, reliable productivity and the latest technology. The bolter miner, MB610, offers fast and easy access to maintenance points, large and ergonomic working platforms, enhanced cutting forces, and world-class performance.

Sandvik Mining will introduce newly enhanced automation concepts that open up a new era in mining. The Sandvik AutoMine® product family is the most comprehensive automation offering for underground and surface mining.

Increasing fleet utilization and production rates, improving working conditions and reducing maintenance costs, Sandvik AutoMine® promotes preeminent safety, productivity and peace of mind for mining operations. Sandvik Mining’s Automation focuses not only on equipment autonomy, but also on mining process automation and management.

In addition to key technologies such as automation, production enhancement, fracture detection and drilling optimization, Anna Sörelius reinforces the importance of human talent and creativity.

“MINExpo is an important venue to meet with dealers and customers, who provide valuable feedback that we use to improve our services, tools, and equipment. Sandvik Mining makes certain we stay in tune with the market, our customers.

Completing the ultimate mining industry offering, Sandvik will also feature several innovative surface, underground drilling and L&H machines, including the high-pressure DR560 DTH drill rig, now available with compressor management system and AutoMine® Drilling; the machine also combines different pressure options, maneuverability and reliability with maximum drilling performance.

Sandvik continues its mission to deliver high quality Rock Tools that provide the best productivity in the industry, all with the superior user experience for which Sandvik Rock Tools is known for.
