BMT WBM has designed many ‘special purpose machines’ for customers with specific requirements.
Special Products
BMT WBM has developed a fully automatic robotic wagon vibrator. A number of these are now operating in Queensland Coal Terminals.
These include the design and production of robotic wagon vibrators for release of coal from wagons to self propelled, remotely controlled vehicles for transporting pipeline segments, to portable numerically controlled grinding machinery for dragline slew bearings and for rotary breakers.
Operation of the vibrators is monitored remotely by a single operator, located in an acoustically-treated, air-conditioned control room.
The vibrator's control system incorporates a comprehensive system of self-diagnosis to facilitate the rapid resolution of equipment problems. The system is also connected to and integrated with site SCADA networks, to permit remote interrogation and the logging of vibrator performance.
PULSE TerraMetrix RS
Poor operator utilisation of a shovel has a direct impact on mine production. Truck overloads result in higher maintenance costs, premature tire failure and rejected truck loads. Excess fatigue damage to shovel structures causes an increase in maintenance costs and downtime.
PULSE TerraMetrix DL
Draglines today are a key component of many surface mining operations, and often the largest single asset at the site. Since utilization of the machine is a critical priority, operators are increasingly pushed for more production and less downtime.
Wagon Vibrator
Many high-capacity coal export terminals, which receive coal by rail in bottom-dump wagons, experience major delays due to discharge failure when handling sticky coal. These delays can have a serious impact on the capacity of the rail system feeding the port and on the terminal inloading capacity.
