JULY 2014 • E&MJ; 89 www.e-mj.com E Q U I P M E N T G A L L E R Y ments are in remote locations where, in addition to poor connectivity, an electrical supply may not be available to power or charge devices; the new LINCWorks solar panels are claimed to offer an efficient and convenient charging solution. And, just as the remote location of LINCWorks cus- tomers vary, so does their required range for network coverage. The new rugged tele- scoping stand and multidirectional anten- nas are now available to help expand the network coverage area. www.motioncomputing.com Work Clothing Line Made to Last Longer Workwear manufacturer Blakläder has introduced a line of hi-visibility work clothing that meets American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 107 require- ments for mining and other outdoor appli- cations. Blakläder said its garments are designed to last longer and withstand more washes than the average hi-vis garment. The hi-vis line consists of workpants, shorts, vests and jackets. The work pants have Cordura—a highly durable fabric commonly used in tactical gear—leg shields that extend up to the thigh and down to the shin for added jobsite pro- tection. In all Blakläder pants, kneepad inserts fit under the Cordura shields. Other jobsite functionality features include exte- rior utility pockets and triple-stitched seams that are guaranteed for the life of the garment. If seams tear, Blakläder will replace the garment free of charge. www.blaklader.com/us Pump Offers Higher Capacity for Handling Abrasive Slurry Aker Solutions' new Wirth triplex double- acting piston diaphragm (TDPM) pump combines two well-established and proven pumping principles for the transport of high volumes of abrasive slurry. The Wirth TDPM provides flow rates of up to 1,400 m 3 /h at discharge pressures up to 8 MPa in the 3,000-kW input power version. This, the company said, is a significant increase in capacity compared with conventional piston diaphragm pumps. The Wirth TDPM 3000 can be used for traditional applica- tions such as slurry pipeline transport, autoclave feeding, mine dewatering and ore hoisting. Additionally, the pump is claimed to be an efficient solution for pumping thickened oil sand tailings. www.akersolutions.com Innovative Bucket System Pre-crushes and Loads ALLU Group's Mining Series (M-Series) all- in-one screener crusher attachment for min- ing and aggregate is designed to handle a wide variety of crushable materials, featuring an innovative processing bucket that con- EMJ_pg88-93_EMJ_pg88-93 7/1/14 2:39 PM Page 89
