Button Bit Series Beats
Predecessor Competition
Robit released its Evolution button bit
series for use in tunneling and drift appli-
cations. Testing on Scandinavian granite
yielded grinding intervals up to 60% longer
and a lifetime increase of 20% over con-
ventional hard rock button bits, Robit said.
The 76-mm Retrac button bit features a
new face design ensuring uniform pressure
distribution and effi cient fl ushing, both
of which reduce bit erosion, the company
reported. The 102-mm bits were tested
on hard and abrasive rock formations in
Pennsylvania with results that revealed a
doubling of achieved meters over previous
models, the company said.

System for Customizing
Truck Bodies
Philippi-Hagenbuch announced
deployment of Predictive Load, a
system that customizes HiVol and
Load Profi led truck bodies per cus-
tomer specifi cations. The system
considers the materials and haul
cycles to provide accurate analysis
of the loads, the company reported.
In addition, it considers the load-
ing height and the type of loading
equipment the mine is using, since each
interacts with a truck body differently.
Matching the truck body to the loading
height and equipment minimizes damage
to the loading equipment as well as the
truck body's sides. It also ensures optimal
load centering, which improves the life of
the truck chassis and tires as well as reduc-
es damaging impacts from loads. The sys-
tem also ensures the truck body fl oor has
the appropriate confi guration and is angled
correctly for suffi cient dumping and the
greatest practical chute dump clearance.
