NORWAYNorskStein AS Important Orderfor ThyssenKrupp Frdertechnik

The Jelsa quarry, situated on the coast between Stavanger and Bergen, is

Scandinavias largest quarry. Currently, roughly 5 Mt of material are produced

every year. By the end of 2009, the production will have doubled to 10 Mt per year.

For this purpose, TKF was awarded a contract for the supply of equipment worth

more than 30 million Euros. This contract, implemented by a team comprising

the Business Units of Ennigerloh and Rohrbach, is a particularly important step

for TKF because the Norwegian market is traditionally dominated by competitors.

Our scope of supply comprises an in-pit primary crushing plant for granite with

a capacity of 2600 t/h, in which we use a gyratory crusher type 63x75. Feeding

capacity and maintenance issues are just two of the technical features that made

the client choose the TKF crusher. The secondary crushing and screening plant,

at a capacity of 3000 t /h, produces offshore materials and

other additives for the tertiary crushing plant. The final prod-

ucts will be loaded by a shiploader designed for 3,000 t /h,

loading ships with a capacity of up to 30,000 t.

The tertiary crushing unit is still in the project phase. Most

likely, it will comprise a crushing unit for about 850 t /h,

a stockyard for about 600,000 t, including a stacker and

various conveyor belts. |

KOSOVO500 Tons of Spare Parts

The EU and UN programmes supporting the

development of Kosovo have been running

now for several years. Nevertheless, energy

supply in the Kosovo, with its 2.1 million

inhabitants, is not yet guaranteed, despite the

fact that Kosovo has one of Europes largest

lignite reserves.

The technical condition of Kosovos energy-

generating plants and equipment has deterio-

rated constantly over recent years, and this

includes the open-pit mining equipment. Daily

power cuts are only one of the consequences.

Over the last two years, BU Minings After Sales Service has intensified its sales

activities initiated nearly seven years ago. In the meantime, Kosovos authorities

fixed a budget to refurbish the equipment of its national energy supplier KEK.

One of the main tasks at hand is the refurbishment of two bucket-wheel excavators

supplied by Krupp in 1985, currently located in the mines of Barth and Mirash,

each weighing 2,000 t.

In October 2008, TKF was awarded a contract to overhaul these two machines,

including the delivery of mechanical spare parts and partially new electrical

equipment. The contract furthermore comprises supervision during the de-

mounting as well as the erection phase. Both excavators are scheduled to go

out of operation in 2010/2011 and to go back into operation, after refurbishment,

in the Sibobvc mine.

Bucket-wheel excavators E9M und E10M in the open-pit mine Mirash

Power plant Obelic

The contract comprises the supply of, i.a.:

Mechanical elements: bucket-wheel drives, drives for the crawler units, drives for

conveyors, chain links, wheel bogies, conveyor belts, con-veyor pulleys, couplings for the slewing gear, bearings, metal detectors, teeth for the buckets, lubrication systems

Electrical elements: devices for control, visualisation, intercom, air condition-

ing, standby generating

,

About 500 t of material/equipment will be supplied to the

customers storage in 2010. Erection will be undertaken by

KEK itself with support in planning and supervision by TKF.

The second excavator is supposed to be completed by end

of 2011, both machines then being ready to contribute to

the future supply of energy in Kosovo. |

ITALYStory of Success Continuesbetween Business Unit Materials Handling and ILVA Steelwork in Taranto

In November 2008, the third giant stacker/reclaimer supplied

by Business Unit Materials Handling for ILVAs Taranto steel-

work was put into commercial operation. Unlike the first two

machines, which have been in use in the iron ore stockyard

since 2005, the new machine is handling coal and coke with

capacities of up to 6.500 t /h stacking and up to 1,600 t /h

reclaiming. With its boom length of 60 metres it ranks among

the biggest stacker/reclaimers installed in Europe.

So far, BU MH has replaced five stockyard machines

(3 stacker /reclaimers and 2 drum reclaimers) formerly

supplied by a local competitor. Moreover, in recent years

TKF has been awarded contracts to supply two wagon

tipplers for RIVA Groups German steelworks. |

GERMANY/FRANCEExtension of Service Businessand Know-how at BU PR/KH Mineral

At ThyssenKrupp Frdertechniks workshops in Ennigerloh (BU PR), Germany,

and Sarreguemines (KH Mineral), France, a multitude of tasks are being carried

out. The extension of both units, which have been managed under a common

service concept for nearly a year now, has not only contributed to the fact that

delivery time requirements of new orders have been properly met, but it has

also enhanced an increase in service business in accordance with short- and

mid-term planning.

A total of 65 highly qualified personnel working in approximately 5,000 sq m

of workshop facilities undertake spare part management as well as maintenance/

repair and assembly services are performed on a consistent quality level.

The orders vary from small assembly jobs regarding pumps to the assembly of

rotors and complete crushing units such as a 17 E Jaw Crusher. Recent orders have

involved the assembly of components for RollSizers (64 t), Roll Crushers (45 t),

Apron Feeders (56 t) and Rotors (64 t), to give just a few examples. Figure 4

shows the assembly of a 57-ton rotor for an Impact Crusher type 220/300 for

Hofuf, Saudi Arabia (2,200 t /h of limestone), which was finished at the work-

shop within five days. This kind of work demands various adjustments and often

complete test runs before the machine can be handed over for transport. For

example, the balancing of the rotors as well as the adjustment of the bearings

clearance are decisive factors in ensuring the machines optimum performance

and life expectancy.

A further focus lies on repair jobs, which may even include complete overhauls

of crushers. Due to close communication with technical colleagues when advising

clients in the sales phase, we succeeded in increasing the order volume as well

as the number of clients in the area of repair jobs. The scope of work runs from

demounting and repair to re-erection and commissioning.

Through our integrated service platform of BU PR/KH Mineral, service business

has been successfully increased. |

CHINAAnother Four Fully Mobile CrushersMajor Order from China

BU Mining Essen are to build another four fully mobile crushers in China, jointly

with TKBT Beijing. The order includes the full design, engineering, delivery,

assembly and start-up of the plants. China Power Investment Group, one of the

country's five biggest state-owned utilities, intends to use the new crushers to

step up coal production at the Baiyinhua field in Inner Mongolia. The plants are

scheduled to start operation in 2010.

The systems to be used in the Baiyinhua coalfield will each comprise a fully mobile

crawler-mounted crusher, a crawler-mounted mobile transfer conveyor with two

conveyors, and a rail-mounted hopper car with cable reel car. Operating under

extreme climatic conditions temperatures fall to -40C in winter three of the

four systems will be used to remove overburden, each having a nominal capacity

of 6,000 t /h. One 3,000 t /h system will be used for coal mining.

Demand for fully mobile crushers is growing in large open-pit mining operations

around the world. BU Mining developed these plants for combined use with power

shovels. The crusher moves on a single two-crawler track.

After crushing, the material is transported on conveyors,

eliminating the need for conventional haulage by hundreds

of mining trucks in this open-pit mine. This reduces operating

costs and significantly lessens the environmental impact.

Fully mobile crushers are powered exclusively by electricity.

In the present case annual carbon dioxide emissions can

be cut by up to 100,000 t. |

CHINAFirst "Solo" Contractfor TKBT China Finished

ThyssenKrupp BulkTech Trading (Beijing) finished the load tests for two drum re-

claimers. The machines were handed over to the client, Shougang Jingtang United

Iron & Steel Co. Ltd. on Caofeidian Island to start operation in February 2009.

This contract, signed in February 2007, was the first "solo" contract of TKBT in

China. The maximum reclaiming capacity of the drum reclaimers is 2,300 t /h of

blending ore; the rail gauge is 40 m.

Based on this contract, TKBT in June 2008 signed a contract with Tangshan

Shougang Baoye Steel & Iron Co. Ltd. for the supply of another two sets of drum

blending machines. |

length of 13 km for 8 conveyors

Work commenced after receiving the Letter of Award on February 25th, 2005,

for both orders. The Take-Over for the six conveyors of 2,400 mm belt width

was taken at the end of 2008. Of the remaining three conveyors, one has been

erected while two are waiting for Neyveli Lignite Corporation to assign an area

for erection. Of the conveyors with 2,000 mm belt width, two have been erected

and are running. The remaining six conveyors have yet to be assigned an area

for erection.

Bucket-Wheel Excavators

In March 2006, TKII received an order for two 700-litre Bucket-Wheel Excavators

(BWE) from Neyveli Lignite Corporation Ltd., Tamil Nadu (NLC). These BWEs are

used for the continuous excavation of overburden as well as lignite. TKIIs scope

included the design, manufacture, supply, supervision of the erection and com-

mission as well as the maintainence of the machines for four years following the

Take-Over Test (TOT).

These BWEs are the first machines at NLC with VVVF drives. The effective oper-

ating period is 7,200 hours/year and capacity is around 1,400 cum/hour. The

traveling speed of a BWE is 8 m/min. The cutting range is from 5 m below ground

level to 20 m above ground level. The span of the machine from the bucket-wheel

boom to the discharge boom is 65 m and the height of the machine is 27.5 m. It

moves on six crawlers in tandem. The slewing angle is +/- 110. The diameter of

the bucket-wheel is 9 m and it comprises 14 buckets with a capacity of 700 l each.

The first machine has been completely erected and commissioned. It was brought

to the mines on December 31st, 2008, and is in operation in the mines in manual

mode. The second machine is scheduled to start operation in April/May 2009. |

In December 2005, Business Unit Mining received an order from ELEM (Elektrani

Na Makedonija) to deliver and assemble a new belt wagon for the coal mine Brod

Gneotino, the new mine of the Power Plant REK Bitola in Macedonia. Commission-

ing and performance tests were carried out in September 2008. The belt wagon

is part of the second haulage system.

Two completely independent liftable and slewable booms are the special features

of this machine. With belt widths of 1,800 mm, the length of the receiving boom

is 37 m, and that of the discharge boom 39 m. Its theoretical capacity for over-

burden is 5500 m/h.

As some equipment for the second system is provided by other companies, and

will not be delivered before the end of 2009, the belt wagon will be used until then

in the old open pit mine Suvodol.

A further extension of Brod Gneotino is currently planned, and a tender for a

complete third haulage system is expected very soon. |

INDONESIACoal Shiploaderfor Cigading InternationalBulk Terminal

In 2008, the construction of the coal export terminal for

Cigading International Bulk Terminal (CIBT) commenced at

Cigading, West Java. It is designed for an annual throughput

of 4.5 Mt of coal in the first stage and can be upgraded to

7.5 to 8 Mt in the future. In view of its favourable location in

West Java, this terminal will considerably increase Indonesias

coal export capacities to India and Southeast Asia.

An essential element of the coal terminal will be the shiploader

designed for loading sea-going vessels up to 80,000 DWT

at 2,000 t/h, and partial loading of vessels of 120,000 DWT.

At the end of 2008, Business Unit Materials Handling re-

ceived an order for the design, manufacturing and supply

of the shiploader from the main contractor, PT Krakatau

Engineering Co. Ltd. (KE), Indonesia.

The shiploader will be equipped with portal travel gears, a

boom with shuttle head and a loading device with trimming

spoon which allows for 360 slewing. With this option, the

ship holds may be filled right up to the edge, at a high

nominal loading rate. The design allows for an upgrade of

the handling capacity from 2,000 to 3,000 t /h to safeguard

the above-mentioned higher throughput of the entire coal

terminal at a later stage. |

SERBIABU Mining Supports Serbian Clientto Refurbish Bucket-Wheel Excavator

In December 2005 a bucket-wheel excavator (commissioned in 1988) from the

company RB Kolubara in Serbia (part of EPS) went out of operation due to various

technical defects. TKF was asked to investigate the reasons for the damage and

to evaluate possibilities for refurbishing the machine.

Based on TKFs technical analysis, RB Kolubara decided in favour of a refurbish-

ment. The order volume was around 6 million Euros, comprising

expert advice during demounting of the machine (1 year),

including recommendations of which parts were still to be used

and which had to be replaced

complete re-engineering of the machine, including refurbished

as well as new parts

complete electrical engineering including supply

"To break into the market you need a technically leading

supplier, and obviously we are proud and happy that LKAB

decided in our favour", says Gunnar Setterwall, the Swedish

sales agent for ThyssenKrupp Frdertechnik.

The extensive investment in the iron ore business will

increase LKABs annual capacity from 25 Mt to 30 Mt. At

the same time, the lifespan of the mines is increased by

ten years.

"A constant drive to be more efficient and invest in state-of-

the-art technology is neccessary to meet the lower-cost

competition on the world market", says Thomas Johansson,

LKAB's project manager. "The new crushers mean that we

can handle larger blocks of rock and reduce downtime."

The new crushers are based on new technology. The intake,

which is substantially larger and has other angles than a

traditional gyratory crusher, allows pre-crushing of the

material, similar to that of a jaw crusher, prior to the material

entering the gyratory crushing zone. |
