The third bucket wheel excavator for Kazakh miners

Novokramatorsky mashinostroitelny zavod launched production of ЭР1500 – 9,5/0,5 bucket wheel excavator for Sokolovsko-Sarbaiskoe gorno-obogatitelnoe proizvodstvennoe obedinenie JSC (SSGP) (Republic of Kazakhstan), that was designed by mining and press-forging equipment production division of the company.

This is the third bucket wheel excavator of this model manufactured by NKMZ for this Kazakh company. Two previous ones, supplied by the NKMZ in 2012, are being successfully operated. The miners are completely satisfied with the performance of these excavators and therefore placed their order at NKMZ for the production of the third machine. Taking into account customer’s wishes, the NKMZ team made minor modifications in the design of this machine in order to increase its maintainability and ease of use.

NKMZ is widely known as the creator of reliable and high-quality large bucket wheel complexes weighing up to 6000 tons, manufactured during the Soviet period for work in open pit mines. Some of them are still operated, far beyond the guaranteed service life. For example, a large bucket wheel complex has been operating at the Volnogorsk GMK since 1979. But such complexes have not been purchased by the mining enterprises of the post-Soviet space for several decades.

The bucket wheel excavator for Sokolovsko-Sarbaiskoe gorno-obogatitelnoe proizvodstvennoe obedinenie JSC (SSGP) is a small machine (weight: over 188 tons, length: 35 m, width: 7.5 m, height: 8 m), which is used in closed warehouses for material handling. Its productivity makes 1500 t / h, the height of the material intake is 9.5 m, the depth of the material intake is 0.5 m from the zero mark. Its main advantages when performing these works are mobility and productivity.
