Dynapac launches series of LF forward compaction plates
Dynapac recently launched a new series of LF forward compaction
plates; LF75, LF80 and LF100; with unique features for improved
speed, flexibility and performance. The Dynapac LF series
specially engineered for asphalt applications, comprises three
models between 75 and 100 kg, available with a number of options
to customise the plates. These plates are approximately 20
per cent faster than their predecessors. They can be easily
converted for soil or asphalt applications, simply by ‘hooking’
on a water tank. The large removable water tank allows longer
shift operation, quicker refill and more output per day.
The Dynapac LF 75 (weight class 75 kg) is available with
either a Honda or a Robin engine in two different plate widths:
420 or 500 mm. The LF80 (weight class 80 kg), also available
with Honda or Robin engine, has a working width of 420 mm.
The LF100 (weight class 100 kg) is available with three different
petrol or diesel engine options and features a 500 mm wide
bottom plate, whose contact surface is watered uniformly.
The water distribution system, integrated into the bottom
plate, which optimises water consumption easily by means of
a flow adjustment valve, is easily reached by the operator
and a large removable water tank.
All units of the plate have a wide array of optional equipment
such as a protection frame suitable for rental applications,
lifting handles, block paving kits, etc, making it possible
to tailor-make the machine. The range can be equipped with
Dynapac Low-Vib handle (vibration reducing handle) reducing
exposure to hand-transmitted vibrations, compared with earlier
models. The handle gives operator comfort and the vibration
values level are below the 2.5 sq m daily exposure action
value for an eight-hour reference period according to EU directive
C/2002/44 2002/ 44/EC.

Fagioli tailing system at Indian Oil Vadodara refinery
Fagioli PSC India Pvt Ltd, a JV between the Gemini Group,
Fagioli SpA and Fagioli Ltd, UK has completed the erection
of a Diesel Hydro Treating (DHDT) reactor named R-02, weighing
791 tonne at the IOCL Vadodara refinery for contractor Petron
Engineering Construction Ltd. With the help of Fagioli’s
Tower lift system, R-02 was erected to a height of 32 m spanned
by twin crosshead box beams spanning to 25 m.
Rajiv Sethi, Managing Director, Fagioli India PSC said, “Alternate
Heavy Lifting systems are finally being accepted by Indian
Oil Corporation Ltd and Engineers India Ltd. This will reduce
dependence on super heavy lift cranes and also economise project
costs.”
The beams were specially designed and fabricated to achieve
the span and meet the required lifting capacity. The beams
mounted on the crossheads, were a pair of L600 strand jacks
powered by one L2/70D hydraulic power pack.
Fagioli PSC India’s tailing frame was connected to the
skirt of the reactor with a pinned connection in contact with
the base frame mounted on rollers. The pinned connection allows
the equipment with the convenience to rotate at its point
during lifting. Contact: Fagioli PSC India Pvt Ltd.

GEECL uses Atlas Copco RD20 Drill Rig
Great Eastern Energy Corporation Ltd (GEECL) is using an Atlas
Copco RD20 drill rig linked to an Atlas Copco XRVS 1250 CD
6 portable compressor and a Hurricane booster supplying auxiliary
air to pioneer exploration and development of coal-bed methane
(CBM) resources in India. RD20 was the best choice because
of its depth capacity and the fact that it was designed for
the CBM industry. It has an onboard compressor delivering
350 psi of pressure at 1,250 cfm. To speed up the drilling
of the large number of exploratory wells, an XRVS 1250 auxiliary
compressor was added to the drilling operation, the air from
the two compressors being combined and fed through the Hurricane
booster and vented directly into the discharge line. The wheeled
XRVS is fitted with a CAT C-18 ACERT III engine and delivers
1,273 cfm at 365 psi.

Shot Blasting Machine from Surface International
Jodhpur-based Surface Interna-tional has introduced High Perfor-mance
Table Type Shot Blasting Machines. They are used for applications
in foundries, forging units, automobile industries, dye-casting
units, heat treatment job shops, and fabricators. The machines
are available in different sizes having varying table diameters
of 750 mm, 1,200 mm, 1,800 mm and 2,400 mm. The blast wheels
are powered by TEFC motors of varying capacities depending
on size and blast wheel of the machine. The shots are propelled
at a velocity of 60 to 80 m/sec which makes it possible to
achieve best cleaning rates at the lowest cost. For a longer
life and smooth functioning of the machines, the blast wheels
are heat-treated. The machines are designed in such a way
that they are user friendly and can be maintained by a single
operator. The interior of the blast cabinet can be covered
with long-life alloy steel liners. The machine also has various
facilities to choose from as per their convenience like the
Rotary Screen Separators, Automatic Operation Sequence Control
System, and PLC Control. The machines come with Fabric Bag
Dust Collector so that pollution-free and user-friendly environment
is available on the shop-floor.

MSPL Ltd buys Sandvik Pantera drill rig
MSPL Ltd, a leading iron ore mining and processing company,
recently bought Sandvik Pantera 1100 drill rig after successfully
using a Pantera 800. A Sandvik HL 1010 rock drill is fitted
to the Pantera, using Sandvik T51 rock tools including button
bits equipped with tungsten carbide buttons of 10 mm and 14
mm in size. The drill bits are fitted to 3.7 m long drill
extension rods that are changed automatically, and the Rock
Pilot that is an integral part of the Pantera ensures that
the holes are drilled straight.
The Pantera has its own portable grinder, attached to the
rear of the machine, and the drill bits are ground on site.
The grinding is done every 500 drill metre, and that the average
life of the drill bits is 1,500 drill metre. The advantage
in using the Pantera 1100 is that, being near the top of the
Pantera range, it is designed for high-output situations and
for hard rock. It also allows larger holes than the 800: whereas
the 800 drills holes between 76 and 127 mm diameter, the 1100
offers diameters of 89 to 140 mm.
