They are not well suited to handling large angular objects such as blast rock. They are best suited for loose loads coal, woodchips, and overburden, which are evenly distributed across the face of the moldboard. These blades are designed to push large quantities of granular materials over long distances.
Semi-U Blades are able to Tilt when equipped with one Tilt Cylinder and Tilt and Tip when equipped with two. Semi-U Blades can be built with good abrasion resistance for materials like gravel, and with puncture resistance for handling large angular pieces of rock. Straight Dozers are able to Tilt when equipped with one Tilt Cylinder and Tilt and Tip when equipped with two.īuilt much like a Straight Blade but with a deeper profile and closed ends to help keep granular materials in front for long pushes. They are not well suited to handling granular materials since these materials spill off the ends during long pushes. Straight Blades can be made very strong, abrasion-resistant, and puncture-resistant for moving large, sharp, and abrasive objects. This is a good all-purpose blade, especially when equipped with Tilt Cylinders. Ideal for making windrows, digging drainage ditches, backfilling trenches grading roads. The moldboard pivots about its center point to cast materials left or right. “It takes a bit of pressure away from having surveyors on the ground, potentially exposing them to additional hazards.Angle Dozers work best handling broken and granular materials, soils, and gravel. “We upload mine plans into the dozers, and we’ve put ramps in recently using that system, within 30 millimetres of the designs.
We expose more coal and progress the dragline plan a lot quicker,” he said. It just makes them more productive by having the D11s in front of them. “That’s to optimise the dragline fully and make sure they’re efficient in what they’re doing. With onboard GPS guidance tools and real-time feedback, Cat Terrain for grading gives dozer operators the information to maximize machine efficiency by monitoring coal seam location, bench heights, cycle times and the volume of material cut and filled.īatchfire Resources Superintendent – Dragline and Mine Services – Mining and Production, Matthew Scales, confirmed that Batchfire had recently re-introduced Dozer push back into the operation when setting up benches for the Draglines. The new dozers also feature Cat Terrain, which uses high-precision GPS guidance technologies, and material tracking, to help the operators work the machines according to plan. “They are essentially replacing older version D11Rs and D10Rs, and we’ve seen an efficiency gain of 10% with the new style engines.” “The impressive reliability and performance of our existing fleet of Cat dozers was an important factor in our decision to invest in the new Cat D10Ts and Cat D11Ts.
“There were no questions, we were going Caterpillar dozers,” Mr Boal said. Our commitment to investing in the latest equipment, as part of an initiative with Hastings Deering to modernise our pre-strip mining fleet, includes four D10Ts and four D11Ts – half of which have already been delivered.īatchfire Resources Superintendent Mobile – Engineering and Maintenance, Daniel Boal explains the machinery needed to offer a mix of carbon emission reductions, high productivity, and around-the-clock reliability. Batchfire upgrades to 10% more efficient Cat D10 and D11 dozersīatchfire’s new Cat D10T and D11T dozers boast improved economy, performance, and productivity for our Callide Mine.
