A new face drilling rig for narrow tunnels and ... - Advanced Mining

across an area of 125,000 square metres,
was open to customers for the duration of the
Technology Days 2010, allowing visitors to
gain an impression of the high level of vertical
integration, short distances inside the plant
and high precision applied in the production
of the crushing and screening plants. During
their tour of the plant, the visitors witnessed
how individual components are fabricated,
plants are assembled and subjected to quality
control testing.
Managing Director Dr. Gerhard Schumacher views
the new plant as an “ideal basis for future success.
We have laid the technical foundations for a highly
qualified workforce to supply the international markets
with high-quality crushing and screening plants.” The
Technology Days have given Kleemann GmbH a unique
opportunity to present its understanding of quality in
manufacturing to industry peers. “Customers were given
the opportunity during the Technology Days to discover
both our high quality standards in manufacturing and
the solutions and technologies we offer. Our visitors will
carry this message to their home countries in all parts
of the world, and in the medium term it will certainly
contribute to increasing our market share,” says Dr.
Schumacher, summarizing the long-term effects of the
event.
Road construction and processing
technologies live and up close
The audience closely followed the live
demonstrations of machines operating in a model
limestone quarry and rehabilitating the surface
course of a road. Machine developers, product
trainers and sales experts of the manufacturing
companies explained the live operation of the
Kleemann crushing and screening plants, Wirtgen
2500 SM surface miner, the latest generation
of Wirtgen large milling machines, the world’s
largest asphalt paver from Vögele as well as the
entire range of new asphalt rollers from Hamm.

NEWS & REPORTS
Dr. Gerhard Schumacher, Managing Director of Kleemann GmbH,
was extremely satisfied with the event: “Hosting the Technology Days
2010, Kleemann has made a lasting, positive impression on the road
construction and processing industries.“
Versatility and flexibility are vital hallmarks of stateof-the-art
construction machines. How customers
benefit from them was demonstrated by the modification
of several machines during lunchtime which, at first
glance, was not spectacular at all. Cameras followed
the modification work and transmitted live images to a
screen, thus enabling the visitors to watch each and
every move. Without using special equipment, the
technicians needed no more than two hours to change
the milling drum in a W 200, alter the ballasting of a
GRW 280 pneumatic-tyred roller and convert the Super
3000-2 asphalt paver from a rigid to an extending paving
screed. This demonstration was impressive proof of
the practical efficiency of the machines and their easily
replace-able modules.
The Wirtgen Group presented state-of-the-art
technology in the fields of road construction and rock
mining, thus enabling the visitors to catch a glimpse of
the “construction site of tomorrow”.
