KU300 BUCKET WHEEL EXCAVATOR RECONSTRUCTION STUDY - NOEN, a.s.
General description
Based on the requirement of Severočeské doly a.s., NOEN, a.s. drew up the KU300 bucket wheel excavator reconstruction study aimed at modernization, an increase in reliability, and time utilization during mining procedures. The basic concept of the KU300 bucket wheel excavator reconstruction involved replacement of the extensible bucket wheel boom with a non-extensible type and replacement of the suspended loading boom with a newly designed loading boom. The maximum impact on technical parameters resulted from requirements for the driving station dead space length of 65 m, the possibility of mining in two blocks with one position of the belt conveyor DPD with total width of 55 m and deep cut of 10 m.
