Uralmash has successfully delivered and commissioned a rope shovel at a Karelsky okatysh iron ore mine in Northwest Russia. The shovel, which was produced at Uralmash’s manufacturing facility in Ekaterinburg, will be used to remove overburden at the operation. The delivery contract was originally negotiated in February 2008.

The numerical control and automated data system included on the shovel was designed in collaboration with representatives from the department of Mining Enterprise Electrification at the Ural University of Mining and Geology and is the first of its kind to feature on a Russian shovel.

The data system is easy to use and records various operating parameters and performance details including; the quantity of soil excavated, number of transport vehicles loaded, time for main and auxiliary operations, travelling time and downtime. The data is registered per day, month and year, and can be displayed for each shift or for set periods of time.

The on-board computer is specifically designed to cope with a wide range of climate conditions and to withstand high levels of vibration. The electronic blocks were supplied by manufacturers such as; Siemens, Phoenix Contact, Vartech and Wiedmueller, and an uninterrupted power source ensures that data is retained in the event of a power blackout.
