MARION 301-M MINING SHOVEL “The MARION 301-M mining shovel combs a century of shovel ex: perience withthe latest in excavator technology ft combines many of {he proven design concepts and performance features used on hur rede of operating MARION shovels wth the technical advances that tenable it (© outperform any shovel inthe industry. Availabe wth dip per eapacty ranging rom 321080 cub yards (24 to Gt). the SOTA fan tree-pass load. 170 to 2404on rick while eyeing in 30 seconds ores, ‘The superior operating porformance of the 201M is the result of ‘inousans of engineering design hours and extensive eld sxperence, By combining the greatest crowd effort and hoist ine pull iis class witha computordesigned tont-end geometry, the MABION 30¢-M op {imizes cutng Torees inthe toughest cigging conditions and at each couting radius Including maximum reach, Ang sines the swing portion Gt the leading cytes the most time consuming, the thas great ‘maximum sing torque to reach maximum constant velocity 3000 a8 possible In creating the 201-M, thousands of engineering hours went inte developing a machine tha would perform mor reliably than any we've ever but. Finte element computer madeling was Used to design the boom, andl, per, yoko bloc, ‘olaing frame, lower frame and crawler sde-Frames, Al motion eves used ea contained plugin planetary gear cases Modi design features wer incorporated throughout for quick erection and easier serviceabiy. Those andthe many other features listed below make the S01-M easier to operate and maintain. Because the drive system of any shove is cricain overall performance, MARION designed the 201M wih DC stall power conversion. The conf stom includes continuous reactive power compensation (RPC) fo regullo power factor beter than any other available. The MARION system also uses fewer, simpler and mare rellable dive cor Donents. Andis ada to system ranhilty and servicosbiy, the 204M hee advanced dlagnoetes with frat out fou nnunciaon that eliminates the standard ime consuming mothod of test points and meters, ‘THE MARION 301-M: A MAJOR ADVANCE IN MINING SHOVEL PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY, FEATURES MECHANICAL/STRUCTURAL “DEEP SECTION LOWER FRAME with full depth bulkhead under roller cece “= DUAL MOTOR FULLY INDEPENDENT PROPEL © COLD WEATHER STEEL in sll structures subject to high impact loads (t -50°C.) © CROWNED & TAPERED ROLLER CIRCLE with selt-subricating nylon bushings and thrust weshers « SELF-CONTAINED, PLUGIN PLANETARY GEAR CASES usod forall maton dives ‘ SPACIOUS FILTERED & PRESSURIZED MACHINE HOUSE with platformaladders “ PREASSEMBLED BOOM SHEAVE ASSEMBLIES « SINGLE STICK RECTANGULAR DIPPER HANDLE with integral dipper * ERGONOMICALLY DESIGNED RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE OPERATORS CAB ‘© OPERATORS CONTROL STATION with joystick controllers, grouped controls and indcstore «= SEPARATE AUTO LUBE ROOM with bulk lube tanks © ADJUSTABLE PITCH DIPPER» MACHINED RACK & PINION CROWD ELECTRICAL OPTIONAL = DC STATIC POWER CONVERSION 5 LONG RANGE BOOM & HANDLE * FUSELESS (CLASS 1) DRIVES "© LOWER GROUND BEARING PRESSURE * REACTIVE POWER COMPENSATOR 5 6 CRANE TT CABLE REEL * PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER on autalube and mation lite © DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM with tcst-out fault annunciation in cb and house © DUPLICATE POWER CONVERTERS on hoist, swing, crowd ck |= MULTIPLE DISC BRAKES LOWER FRAME ASSEMBLY & PROPEL DRIVE PROPEL DRIVE ‘The 301-M is equipped with two 814-Frame DC mill ‘ators rated at 930 peak np.
