MR20 – MR40 Equipment Retriever
The MR20 – MR40 is a safe, fast and economical way to recover equipment trapped by roof falls. With a drawbar pull of 150 tonnes, the Equipment Retriever offers three important advantages:
- Trapped equipment can be recovered quickly, significantly reducing out-of-production time.
- A minimum crew is required to operate the retriever.
- Maximum safety is assured because personnel need not be positioned between the MR20 – MR40 and the trapped equipment.
Rock Dusters In High Pressure Bulk, Portable and Trickle Designs
Swanson’s complete line of DERON Rock Dusters meet your specific dust application requirements while maximizing mine safety and reducing costs. Each model is designed and manufactured with features for the most demanding mining environment:
- SD2 Slinger-Duster: The ultimate design for one-man rock dusting, 1,089 kg. capacity or larger
- RD55 Hydraulic Rock Duster: Designed to be transported in the bucket of a scoop car for dusting in less-accessible areas of the mine
- LPD5 Combination Duster: Compact design is engineered to blanket dust up to 61m or trickle dust up to 122m
- ETD2 Electric Trickle Duster: The mining industry’s preferred machine for trouble-free, unattended trickle dusting
- Customized units are available for operation in hydraulic, electric or diesel power
Weinhold High-Pressure Pipe and Connectors
Swanson Industries Australia provides high-pressure pipe and connectors as part of their fluid delivery system to the longwall face. These features deliver a higher fluid volume with less friction over conventional hoses and make the setup and moving of fluid delivery units and components more efficient.
