If two heads are better than one, then the combined expertise of hundreds mining supply experts is bound to produce world-class equipment.
CMAC-THYSSEN Mining Group’s partnership with Mining Technologies International (MTI) to manufacture a self-propelled Long Hole Drill has done just this. Not only has the drill been recognized for its quality and effectiveness worldwide – it was produced in a fraction of the time.
“(Working with MTI) was easy and the results were great,” said Guillaume Julien, Mechanical Technician for CMAC-THYSSEN. “Sharing expertise makes us faster and more effective.”
At CIM 2011, the CMAC-THYSSEN Mining Group showed off their MTI-CMAC SPLH built on MTI’s carrier. The CMAC-THYSSEN/ MTI partnership has produced an impressive self-propelled Long Hole drill.
MTI and CMAC-THYSSEN have enjoyed a longstanding relationship and when CMAC-THYSSEN saw the need arise for a self-propelled Long Hole Drill, MTI was a perfect fit. The combination of CMAC-THYSSEN’s experience in Long Hole Drills and MTI’s experience in drive equipment allowed for a specialized piece of equipment to be built in a fifth the time it would otherwise take.
“By combining expertise, both companies do not have to start at zero,” said Julien. “CMAC-THYSSEN has more expertise in long hole drilling, where MTI has the expertise in carriers; it was a good fit. This way we were able to build in a short period of time. No other big mining company could do this on their own.”
The MTI-CMAC SPLH also features a rod manipulator. With rods weighing over 100lbs each, the manipulator allows the operator to not have to lift the rods 100 times a day. The rods are placed in the rod charger then the rod charger does the rest so the operator does not have to use a carousel. No carousel means less maintenance.
“All of the mining expertise in the world, always has a Canadian connection,” Julien explained. “This partnership with MTI is an example of what we can accomplish when we share that knowledge. We are extremely proud of what we have done here.”
