Snively
When it comes to data collection and mobility, the mining industry has often times been left in the dark.
Snively, which is exhibiting at this year’s Bluefield Coal Show, has launched the first Mobile Safety Inspection tool for the mining industry by re-defining the roles of your mine safety inspectors. Snively has empowered miners by developing a handheld mobile application that replaces all manual "paper and pencil" methods of capturing and reporting safety inspections.
Are your miners your most valuable resource? If you answered yes, then safety must be your number one priority, and you owe it to yourself and any miner who enters your mines to provide every possible tool to ensure their safety.
Snively solutions are installed at under-ground coal mines in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, West Virginia and Colorado for some of the largest coal companies in the US.
It has worked for the last two years with NIOSH, MSHA and key players in the mining industry to develop this solution to provide safety compliancy and automation. Snively’s Safety Tracker has helped to reduce government fines and help to improve safety standards in underground coal mining by eliminating the paper and pencil method, providing increased accuracy in safety reporting for quarterly SCSR compliance, helping to locate missing assets, reducing errors and fines due to manual data collection, giving instant visibility and response to MSHA safety inspectors and reducing the time required to perform inspections.
JADCO
Pennsylvania-based heavy steel fabricator JADCO Manufacturing will display its proprietary, field-proven QT Plus and Chromeweld 600 wear plate brands at the Bluefield event.
QT Plus plate provides ten times the wear life of conventional steel, with exceptional weldability, through-hardness and ductility. Typical uses include plates, screens, liners, paddles and lips.
Chromeweld 600 chromium-carbide overlay steel outlasts virtually any competitive material in high-abrasion applications and delivers outstanding performance in elevated temperatures. It is easy to install, form, bend or roll and its typical uses include miner parts, liners, bins, plates, flights and blades.
A full contingent of JADCO sales and service professionals will be on hand on the show floor to personally answer questions for booth visitors.
Voith Turbo
Voith Group of Companies member Voith Turbo, a manufacturer of power transmission products for more than 80 years, is joining the exhibitors at the Bluefield show.
The company manufactures a broad range of power transmission products, including constant speed, fill-controlled and variable speed couplings widely used in the mining industry for AFCs, stageloaders, crushers, pumps, fans, belt conveyors, mill drives and centrifuges.
Voith couplings offer many drive system advantages, such as soft start, acceleration control, load sharing, tension control, torsional vibration dampening and speed control.
The couplings transmit torque via the Foettinger principle, using oil or water as the operating medium.
The highest HP AFC drives in the USA are fitted with our 562DTPKWL2-1000-X couplings and 3x1900HP motors. Capabilities up to 3000HP per drive exist for future AFCs and up to 6000HP for conveyor drives.
Voith offers complete rebuild capability for our couplings as well as fluid couplings manufactured by other companies. Voith’s power transmission products are designed
and manufactured to provide optimum efficiency and reliability.
Richwood
Richwood will present a complete loading station tailpiece, chute linings and the innovative ITC belt cleaning system at Bluefield.
The new 1C-ITC belt cleaner from Richwood is a single blade system, combining extra-long life blade media with a shock-absorbing tension system and heavy-duty support frames, creating an efficient belt cleaner for any application.
The design incorporates a continuous tungsten carbide edge that cleans the full width of the belt. This eliminates segmented metal blades that allow carryback material to pass between segments or damage belting with multiple sharp segment corners exposed to the belt.
Heavy-duty frame designs are available for all types of operating conditions, including highly corrosive and extreme service environments. Each 1C-ITC system is engineered to fit and outperform others in your operating conditions.
The company’s goal is clean and dry conveyor belts. Its approach involves classifying each application by severity, based on the individual characteristic of the conveyor.
Have a great Bluefield Coal Show 2011, and look for your ILN team making the rounds on the show floor.
