OCTOBER 2017 • E&MJ; 45 www.e-mj.com NORDIC TECHNOLOGY 2017 fering improves the mechanization and automation aspect of the most demanding underground work phases and sets new standards for sprayed concrete, charging and lifting and in- stallation jobs. The new Spraymec Norrunner 140 DC with its long reach spray boom is designed to meet the highest production capac- ity requirements for sprayed concrete with an average capacity up to 26 m 3 /h. Routine service has been improved with access points reachable from ground level. It is also available with an optional "smart" boom, a tool that helps the operators attain better results with less rebound as its coordinated motion control is linked to concrete pump output. New Himec and Charmec offerings have rigid frame carriers, which provide enhanced driving stability over the articulated carrier used in earlier models. The carriers also have four-wheel drive and crab drive for better maneuverability. The engine has been placed on the side of the machine and therefore all service points for the engine and the exhaust af- ter-treatment system are easily accessible from the ground level. The new models have an optional driving-from-the-basket fea- ture. The operator in the basket can safely and easily move each unit from the work platform. Normet also displayed the Himec RM T 125, which can be modified to a Charmec charging systems by adding an ANFO or emulsion explosive charging unit. It is available with several single or twin boom configurations. Packaged Pumping Systems Based in Lappeenranta, Finland, Flowrox recently introduced its Packaged Pumping Systems, an engineered pump pack- age equipped with simple site connections, manufactur- er-recommended auxiliaries, and piping arrangement to meet the needs of demanding flow control applications. These sys- tems, according to Flowrox, guarantee accurate and repeat- able flow while reducing maintenance downtime and costs. On-site and operational safety is improved through integrat- ed containment, which is especially important for aggressive chemical applications. The Norrunner 140 DC sits outside the WTC in Norway in June.
