Sandvik at Hillhead 2014 - Stand J1

The Sandvik product offering provides solutions for virtually any application, and encompasses such diverse businesses areas as surface rock quarrying, excavation, tunnelling, demolition, recycling and civil engineering. The range of products developed to service these industries includes rock tools, drilling rigs, breakers, tunnelling equipment, crushing and screening machinery, bulk-materials handling systems - in fact machinery to deal with virtually every possible requirement.

Sandvik will be aiming to use the opportunity presented by an exhibition of such importance to the to the global quarrying and construction industry to emphasize areas of expertise and service that transcend the traditional supplier-customer dynamic. This is due to the fact that Hillhead is quite rightly seen as the perfect place to introduce new solutions based equipment. Hence Sandvik Construction will also introduce the very latest developments from the world leading product ranges.

New and innovative equipment that will be shown include:

Stationary crushing equipment – NEW CH540
The new generation of compact cone crusher from Sandvik provides customers with optimum performance and good cubical shape, whilst ensuring the lowest operating cost per ton for a wide range of materials and applications. The all new patented Sandvik CH540 is based on the proven HYDROCONE TM design, with the CH540 combining the ability to produce excellent shaped products, in fewer crushing stages, thereby making it adaptable to ever-changing customer requirements.

Mobile crushers and screens – NEW QA451
The new QA451 is the latest incarnation of the original S7: the world's first and only triple-decked Doublescreen that was originally launched 6 years ago. Whilst retaining many features of the S7 and subsequent QA450, the Premium QA451 improves on the productivity of its iconic predecessors, as well as seamlessly incorporating many further refinements which greatly enhance the users' experience. With innovative new features - such as the hydraulic raise / lower, and slew on the fourth product conveyor - the QA451 is designed to work in tandem with primary, secondary or tertiary crushers, in order to produce the cleanest aggregates with ease.

Breakers - NEW Rammer 5011
Backed by Rammer's exclusive Lifetime Warranty, the new Rammer 5011 is designed using the same operating principle as first seen on the smaller 3288 and 4099 models. This revolutionary operating principle that has raised the standards in power to weight ratios, allows these hammers to be purpose-matched to specific applications for increased productivity and usability. Suitable for carriers in the 43 to 80 ton (94800 – 176400 lb.) operating weight category, the 5011 model weighs in at 4750 kg (10470 lb.) and slots neatly into the Rammer Large Range line-up between the popular 4099 and the proven 7013 models to provide customers with a complete range of hammers.

Drill rigs – DI550 drill rig
The Sandvik DI550 is a down-the-hole drilling rig featuring a 324 kW diesel engine and a 24.4 m3 compressor air flow at 24 bar pressure – making the machine a perfect match for the 5" DTH hammer. This careful match of power and hammer size makes the rig uniquely productive, whilst keeping fuel consumption and operating costs as low as possible. Cost effective machine performance is further enhanced by other advanced features such as active diesel RPM control, optimized diesel RPM level during drilling and active control of compressor running temperature.

Tools & Consumables – NEW Optiagg
Through the launch of Optiagg Sandvik Construction now offers a new dimension in operational support for its CH430, CH440 and CH660 cone crusher models. As well as complete redesign of the mantle to deliver greater efficiency, the real benefits are to be found from the computer modelling and analysis, as they provide a scientific approach that secures more of the most valuable fractions without costly trial and error. Effectively Optiagg takes the guesswork out of optimizing crusher performance as there is a step-by-step process that includes analysis of the current conditions, modelling to identify the optimal configuration and setup, as well as the validation of the outcome. This results in the chamber setup being able to be fine-tuned according to the desired output, and the specific demands of the application.

What really helps make Hillhead exciting and different is the live equipment demonstrations. This year's show will see Sandvik demonstrating examples from the mobile crushing and screening range, and will also see the launch of two new products which will be shown working for the very first time.

On the demonstration area:

• QJ341 feeding QH441 Cone with NEW hanging screen - World Product Launch
• QJ341 feeding NEW QS331 Cone - World Product Launch
• QA331 screener

With the live demonstrations of Sandvik equipment being held hourly directly in front of the main pavilion on the stand, UK and World Products taking place, Hillhead will certainly be a showcase event for Sandvik Construction in 2014.
