LED Headlights Designed to be effcient and robust, Finn- ish work light producer Nordic Lights be- lieves its LED combination headlight will set a new standard and offer a brighter future for heavy duty equipment. Since the work day does not necessarily start at dawn and end at dusk, miners need powerful illumination, not only for work to be effcient but also to maintain safety in darkness. The Sculptor LED N60XX is the world's frst all LED, ECE-approved combination headlight in serial produc- tion. Developed for the most demanding working environments around the world, the lamp offers headlight, park light and 180° indicator in one application. The dimensions of 233 x 161- x 134- mm is extremely compact for a combi- nation light. The universal design of the combination light also makes it an inter- esting and suitable option for equipment with shorter production series. Nordic Lights' Quake dampening sys- tem takes the durability of headlamps to a whole new level. The combination headlight withstands shocks of 60 G and vibration of 15.3 Grms at 24-2,000 Hz. The LED diodes have much higher vi- bration resistance compared to halogen bulbs. Cooling is effectively handled by ther- mal transfer through the alloy housing to the cooling lamellas at the back. Directional Core Drilling Devico will exhibit its latest surveying product line. The company invites miners to visit the stand and learn why "smarter exploration'" can be summed up by three letters: DCD. When seeking to maximize exploration budgets, Directional Core Drilling (DCD) is often the solution. De- vico offers DCD services worldwide. Many drilling contractors and mining compa- nies have used the technique to increase precision, reach multiple remote targets with continuous coring, save time and cost, make wiser decisions, and success- fully improve proftability. Abrasive-resistant Solutions Manex AB (Stand 175), Belzona's dis- tributor in Sweden, will showcase inno- vative solutions to erosion and abrasion in liquid and solids handling equipment. Belzona 1800 Series resins, containing coarse and fne particles, effectively re- sist abrasive media at low impingement angles. The company's line of elastomers, in turn, are recommended at 60º–90º impingement angles, because much of the impact energy can be dissipated through elastic deformation. Finally, for erosion-corrosion repair and prevention, Belzona 1300 Series materials with ce- ramic fllers perform exceptionally well in immersed conditions. Visitors will also be able to use an interactive display table to navigate through a mine and see typical problems that Belzona can remedy. Vertical-mounted Gear Units for Agitators Santasalo will showcase its AMF verti- cal-mounted gear units. By incorporating a bidirectional axial fan, optimized hous- ing design and additional new features, the AMF vertical gear unit eliminates the need for external cooling in extreme ambient conditions. These units feature Santasalo's proven drive technology, in operation in thousands of vertical mix- ing applications around the world. Di- rect-drive construction with electrical motor and fexible HSS coupling ensures high effciency, while the highly opti- mized gear unit layout results in cost sav- ings and a smaller footprint. These two- or three-stage vertical- ly mounted helical gear units feature a power range of up to 750 kW and nom- inal output torque of up to 200 kNm, as well as a reversible operational direc- tion. A robust design ensures they are easy to transport and install without risk of damage. Santasalo already delivered the frst order for the AMF gear unit series in Ka- zakhstan (fve units) and two additional projects are currently being delivered for fne grinding applications in U.S. (six units), and Australia (three units).
