NEWS & REPORTS
New bucket and ground engaging tools produce major improvements in tests. Mining and
tunneling companies using Atlas Copco Scooptram loaders can now raise their productivity
and lower fuel consumption thanks to two new design improvements.
A new generation bucket that is lighter, shorter and
faster combined with new ground engaging tools has been
launched by Atlas Copco for its Scooptram loaders, leading
to higher productivity and lower fuel costs. – Lower total
cost per ton of ore!
According to Peter Trimmel, Product Manager at Atlas
Copco, tests of the new third generation bucket (GIII) and
Atlas Copco’s Ground Engaging Tools (GET), have produced
excellent results. Operating time in the test muck pile was
cut by seven percent while fuel consumption was reduced
by eight percent. An added benefit is that the bucket is
more robust than previously and is designed to withstand
extreme wear.
ATLAS COPCO:
BOOSTING
EFFICIENCY FOR SCOOPTRAM USERS!
The new GIII bucket from Atlas Copco, well
prepared for the double challenge to save
time and use less fuel.
Throughout the test period, the same loader and driver
were used. Driver Totte Nilsson, who has been driving
different types of loaders in different mines and countries
for 20 years, says:
- I think this new GIII bucket is remarkable. Just
upgrading your Scooptram ST1020 or ST1030 with the new
GIII bucket will be a great improvement. And if you equip
the GIII bucket with GET you gain even more.
