‘Focus on Technology’ or ‘Wonders of modern Technology’

The bauma trade fair will soon open its doors, about six months late – at a time of major changes and challenges. To coincide with the 33rd World’s Leading Trade Fair for Construction Machinery, Building Material Machines, Mining Machines, Construction Vehicles and Construction Equipment, the focus of this issue is on technology – an interesting special topic for all of us in the areas in which we work, not just for trade-fair visitors and exhibitors.

Failures of self-drilling Hollow Bar Systems, and Lessons learned

Threaded hollow bar systems have grown in popularity and the range of products has increased. The market is flooded with many commercial options comprising different material properties and surface treatments, and providing varying methods for corrosion protection. Often the question of effective corrosion protection is at the forefront of discussions, and according to the current codes and norms, guidelines are provided and applied as required. This paper highlights some examples where threaded hollow bar systems failed and examines the possible reasons and lessons learned from such unfortunate circumstances.

Energy-efficient and environment-friendly Tunnel Logistics with Automated Service Vehicles

When it comes to supplying tunnel boring machines in drivages innovative Automated Service Vehicles (ASVs) can offer an effective alternative to conventional track-bound conveyances and Multi-Service Vehicles (MSVs). This article outlines the flexibility, efficiency and environment-friendly qualities of ASVs and describes how this has been put to good use at the Kerenzerberg safety tunnel in Switzerland and at the SKW2 Kühtai pumped storage plant in Austria.

An Alternative for Mineral Oil in Hydraulic Systems
Mineral oil-free Hydraulic Fluids proving a national and international Success

Current developments pose a risk to our supply chains. Climate change, environment protection and occupational safety are increasingly taking centre stage. This paper presents one potential solution where mineral oil-based media can be replaced by water-based polymer fluids in hydraulic systems. This is one fairly simple way in which companies can contribute to workplace safety, environmental conservation and resource security.

How an IIoT Solution for Mining Machines can be successfully introduced into a Quarry Operation

Many mining companies still do not know whether they are ready to implement IIot projects for mobile mining machines – and things often stay this way until they try out digitalisation for themselves in an in-house pilot project. Sometimes it is enough simply to go for it and learn from the experience. But what is actually possible and how can ‘digital transformation’ be applied in-house? The conditions and measures needed for such a successful digital transformation are outlined below from the perspective of a tech company that supplies hardware and software solutions and also supports clients through the introduction and implementation process.

Environmental Social Governance (ESG) – the Future in Mining

A raw materials turnaround in the sense of uniformly higher international standards in terms of environmental protection, social and technological development (Environmental Social Governance) (ESG) will become the future guideline in mining. The most urgent task for the coming years is to implement both issues, raw material security and ESG conformity, at the same time. This requires above all investments in the exploration, production, processing and refining of raw materials. In addition, technical innovations are needed to expand existing mining capacities and make them as ESG-compliant as possible. At bauma 2022, technological solutions and specialist expertise will be presented.
