Alpine Miner AM 85-P in potash production 1. JOB SITE Potasas del Llotregal, S.A. is an underground Potash Mine located approximately 60 km northwest of Barcelona. The bedding of the Potash deposit extends over an area of approximately 120 km, Geologically this area compri- ses a synclinal structure limi- ted north and south by two fault zones. The thickness of the whole deposit varies between 400m and 300m and the deposit ies at a depth of approxi mately 250 m, below sea level. The commercial- ly in‘eresting part of the deposit consists of two seams of syivinite The thickness of seam ,B" is between 0.8 m- 1 mwith a sylvinite (K20) content of a proximately 34 9, Seam ,A" is between 2.5 m- 7 m thick with a sylvinite content of ap- proximately 21 %. Above seam .B*is camalite Located between th seams is interburden which has a thickness between 2.m = 3.5 m and does not contain minerals viable for mining The thick-ness of the inter- burden (.sal entredos*) varies with the thickness of the se- am A". The task of the AM 85-P was, to selectively mine seam ,A" and ,." with the highest potash content, and avoid contamination of ‘he sylvinite with the interbur- den, The unconfined compressive strength of the material ran- ged between 22 and 33 MPa. the Young's Module varies between 830 and 1060 MPa The underground transpart of the machine was easily ma- aged through the shaft Sallent with a diameter of only 4.50 m. 2.

The aim of the trial was to prove maximum, machine availabilty, efficien- cy and extraordinary pertor- mance of the AM 85-P in or- der to convince the client of the benefits for changing their current machines. ‘The existing machines are VOEST-ALPINE AM 100 type, which have performed very successfully over the last fifteen years. In order to prove the extra- ordinary performance and the newly developed machine and features of the AM 85-P, the targeted production rate was set at 50,000 month, From day one, the machine has fulfilled the high expecta- tions. After the leaming peri- 0d of the local operators this machine has exceeded the ‘world record for potash cut- ling with roadheaders. Over the past two months the average culling rate was above $80 tonnes per cutting hour. The average daily production was 2377 tonnes on a three shift operation. The 50,000 month targot was easily achieved. ‘The mechanical availability of the machine exceeded the target, averaging 95 %, ‘The pick usage was 1 pick/400 tonnes of potash produced, 4, RESULTS AND PERFORMANCES This performance trial was a very impressive demonstra- tion of the AM 85-P capabilities and advantages. ‘Aworld wide potash cutting record of 59,356 tonnes in 21 days in a 3 shift operation, during the month Novem- ber was achieved, performance witch went far beyond the targeted 50,000 t/month. ° The average cutting rate during the first three months, was well over 50,000 tonnes per month, The entire trial was a perfect example that, with the right equipment, enthusiasm and people management, itis by all means possible to achieve and even exceed the high expectations of the customer. The AM 85-P with an availability of 95 % is to be const dered a reliable piece of production equipment offering the user a number of added benefits i latest strate-of-the-art cutter head technology extraordinary performance (highest performance during the trial was over 3800 tonnes/day) B extremely high machine availability @ low running costs B constant innovative activities to improve the whole system ‘Amain prerequisite to achieve the described high perfor- ‘mance was the outstanding cooperation between the mine and the personnel of VAB, The exceptional number of features as well as the excel: lent performance of the AM 85-P has rewarded VOEST- ALPINE BERGTECHNIK with an order for an additional seven (7) machines fram the same customer.

The articulated boom can be sumped foward, lifted, lowered or moved in the horizontal plane for cutting the desired profile from one position. It is also capable of cutting the tunnel crown in advance and of undercut- ting the floor level The machine can mine se- lectively and can cut any shape of tunnel which in- cludes drivage work with subsequent excavation of a centre rock pillar left, if tun- nel conditions warrant tem- porary support at the face. Water sprays for the cutting head effectively cool the picks, reduce wear and bind respirable dust. The rate of production de- pends on the type of materi al to be cut. The WAV 178/300 is suitable for cutting minerals and rock of a uniaxial compressive strength of up to 100 MPa in a continuous operation. There is a large reserve of power installed in the rug- ged cutting boom gearbox to deal with unforeseen tasks when hard rock condi- tions are encountered ‘The electromechanical cut- ter motor is. water-cooled. The cooling system has its own waterair cooling cir- cuit. In addition to providing cooling of the cutter motor, the air-cooled water also permits the hydraulic fluid to be cooled The cut material is received by the loading apron and di- rected by a pendulum-type loading arm to flank chain conveyors running down the right side and left side of the machine. ‘These conveyors are of rug- ‘ged construction and require hardly any maintenance. The open conveyor design facilitates transport of lump material and delivery onto any subsequent conveying system, i.e. onto_lorties, dump trucks, etc. The dis- charge height can be ad- justed to suit requirements, ‘The loading capacity of the machine is 250 m3/h. The loading system provides a bunkering facility when transport Is interrupted, 9. during transport vehicle turnrounds, so that cutting operations can continue. The crawler tracks have hy: draulic single drives, auto- matic holding brakes and hydraulically operated brake valves. The machine will operate efficiently on gradients of 22 gon. Hydraulically operated sta: bilizers relieve the crawler tracks so that anchoring of the machine during cutting operations is not necessary. For tramming, the loading apron can be adjusted in height by means of the front stabilizers. Control stand and opera: tor’s seat are so located that the operator has an ex- cellent view of the face. The machine can be equipped with remote control by cable (r radio in addition to or in- stead of the stand- ard servo control.
