Agenda

• Where are we working

• Presentation of the Fractum breaker

– Fixed energy-secondary breaking

– Variable energy-breaking clogged crushers

• Over sized application

– In the mine

– At the crusher

• Summing up

3 different business areas

Demolition

Quarries Steel Mill services

Simple functionality

The blasting optimisation is the key

• To little blasting

– More OZ

– Lower blast cost

– Less fines1

• To hard blasting

– Less OZ

– Higher blast costs

– More fines1

• The target in EU is

– Approx 5% OZ

1: Research states that there is a relation between blasting and the amount of fines: Moser, P. (2004) "Less fines production in aggregate and

industrial minerals industry”. University of Leoben - Austria.

Over sized from blasting

• Lack of effecient secondary breaking

• If secondary breaking was less costly a lot of our present blasting philosophies are to be reconsidered

• Get it done at the primary face

• Let the Fractum breaker work directly here

• No moving of OZ and any size of OZ can be handled

23/01/2015 World Leader in Breaking 8

Quarry and mining operation normal approach

• Break the OZ you have at the moment

• No more handling and moving OZ

• Less load on equipment

• Higher throughput in crushing lines

• Often not full utilisation of the Fractum breaker

Over sized in crushers

23/01/2015 World Leader in Breaking 9

Two major scenarios

1. Blocking on top

– Material to big to go through spider

2. Blocking in crusher

– Material is slipping between shell liner and crusher head

We do both Effeciently

Over sized in crushers to be compared with real life

The Fractum technology

• Most efficient impact hammer on the market

• Simple and yet very efficient

• Adaptable to all excavator brands

• Flexible

• Easy to operate

• Safe to operate

• Ultra high precision

23/01/2015 World Leader in Breaking 13

Summing up - effecient

• Unlimited breaking

– Boulder on more than 150 ton

• No secondary blasting will be neded

• Very high capacity

– 150 t/h or more

• First tier savings

– Break the present OZ

• Flexible – Can be deployed everywhere

23/01/2015 World Leader in Breaking 14

Summing up – financial solid

• If secondary breakage on 1 €/ton can be done

– Extensive savings on prim. blasting is possible

• Fractum breaker will deliver this missing breaking capacity

• Several possibilities to utilise the extensive capacity

Always full setup

• Full scale setup includes

– Full commisioning

– Training of service engineers

– Training of of operators

– Introduction

– If needed a full service arrangement can be done
