drives deliver consistent, reliable force outputs of more than 80,000 lb. These double-force rotary electric vibrators are suit- ed for applications where more force is needed than one vibrat- ing motor can generate, and where division of vibrating force is essential for the maintenance of equipment intensity. Coupled Cleveland Vibrator RE-54-8 units have 900-rpm rotary electric vibrator motors that are available in 230, 460, 380 or 575 volt, 3-phase versions. All vibrator motors are rated for continuous duty at the maximum force setting. Specifications for coupled rotary electric RE-54-8 460V vibrators include: 10 hp (7.5 kW), 10,800 lb maximum force, 29.2 amp draw at 230 volts, 17.2 amp draw at 460 volts, and total weight of 1,505 lb (684 kg) including connecting mechanism.
Pipe-end Prep Tool Covers Medium to Large Outside Diameters ESCO Tool has introduced a new clamping welding end-prep tool that compensates for out-of-round conditions and can perform complex end preps on highly alloyed pipe up to 36-in. (914-mm) O.D. The Terminator Millhog rigidly clamps to the I.D. and has a tracker to compensate for out-of-roundness. Capable of producing symmetrical end preps of any angle, including J preps, the tool can bevel, face, and bore simultaneously on all types of hard alloys including SuperDuplex and pulls a thick chip without cutting flu- ids. Available with a 5-hp (3.7-kW) pneumatic or hydraulic motor, the Terminator Millhog needs only eight sets of clamps and two wedges for its entire tool range, is quick to set-up, and requires no special operator training. Providing torque-free operation, it uses
TiN-coated formed cutter bits with chip breakers that direct heat away from the pipe surface.
LHD Bucket Allows Faster Edge Wear System Changeouts
Keech Australia claims its new loader bucket design can dramati- cally reduce the time required to replace edge wear systems on underground mine loaders. Featuring a complete bolt-on section at the front of the bucket, the Keech KMB bucket is compatible with Keech's Wearpact or Armourblade edge systems. Wearpact is a hammerless GET (ground engaging tool) system, available in full spade and semi-spade configuration, while Armourblade is a weld- ed edge system specifically for use in underground loader appli- cations. The buckets have been developed by Keech in conjunc- tion with Canadian company Carriere Industrial Supply and are available in a range of sizes from 7 m3 up to 12 m3.
