Technological Innovation, Expertise and Sustainability

 

At the 24th edition of Geofluid, held last September in Piacenza, Italy, Soilmec came with a new exhibition layout based on product, innovation, and sustainability issues.
The SM-13e and SR-45 MP drilling rigs were on display with the latest news regarding micropiles and consolidations machines.

The SM-13e is the first model of the “e Tech”, the zero-emissions line that represents the constant research and forward-looking of Soilmec.

The SR-45 MP is the result of over 50 years of experience on jobsite. A drilling rig fitted with a micropiling kit, to underline one of the ever-distinguishing characteristics of Soilmec products: the multifunctionality. The SR-45 MP is the evolution of the CM-40 JM and R-312/200 MP. These historical models have already been appreciated in numerous and demanding projects, among many: the Diavik mine in Canada, the DomAquarée in Germany, and the Anse du Portier in Monaco.

Soilmec’s Sustainable Approach
Soilmec has a long-standing commitment to sustainability, to protect the health and safety of all those who work with us and live in the communities where we operate.

The e-tech is a new line of zero-emission machines, from micropiles, piles and cranes, which responds to the increasingly frequent demands of the market in terms of reducing polluted and acoustic emissions, increasing efficiency and reducing operating costs compared to an equivalent endothermic machine. It is not just a simple “engine replacement” where the diesel engine is replaced by an electric motor, but a real electric rig in which the main drilling functions (rotary and crowd system) use electric motors with control inverters instead of hydraulic motors.

For example, the SM-13e features 4 synchronous permanent magnet motors. Two motors are installed on the rotary head, one in the crowd system and another inside the base machine to feed the pump that powers the remaining non-electrified functions: undercarriage, kinematic mechanism, and clamp & breaker group.

The machine’s electrical power needs can be satisfied in different ways. Plugge-in, via battery, or using both solutions.
Fast charging times, allow a machine equipped with 2 batteries to operate 24/7.
