Terex RX170 Front Shovel Excavator Loading Hitachi Dumpers

Power at Work in a Lignite Mine: Terex RX170, Hitachi Dumpers, and Heavy-Duty Support Equipment
Today’s video takes us into the heart of a massive lignite mine, where a coordinated fleet of powerful machines is hard at work. In the background, we see the towering presence of wheel bucket excavators tirelessly extracting lignite and an electric power plant that highlights the scale of this energy operation. In the foreground, the mighty Terex RX170 front shovel excavator loads Hitachi dumpers with efficiency, while a Caterpillar D9T bulldozer and a wheel dozer meticulously clear and prepare the loading area. The combined efforts of these machines demonstrate the skill and precision required to keep this high-output site running smoothly.

Terex RX170 Front Shovel Excavator: The Workhorse of Heavy Loading

The Terex RX170 front shovel excavator is built to handle the demanding conditions of mining. Positioned on a layer above the lignite deposit, the RX170 is tasked with removing dense overburden and hard rock layers to expose the lignite below.

Engine Power: The RX170 is powered by dual diesel engines that produce a combined 1,840 horsepower (1,372 kW), enabling it to lift, dig, and swing large loads effortlessly. This power is essential for managing the dense material found in a lignite mine.

Operating Weight: Weighing in at about 400 tons, the RX170 offers the stability and control needed to handle heavy loads while keeping balance and efficiency. This substantial weight gives the excavator a strong foundation, allowing it to move large rocks without compromising performance.

Bucket Capacity: The RX170’s bucket capacity is approximately 28 cubic meters, allowing it to load significant amounts of overburden into each Hitachi dumper in just a few passes. This high-capacity bucket is key to maintaining fast loading cycles, keeping the dumpers on the move and ensuring a steady workflow.

Hitachi Dumpers: Hauling Heavy Loads Across the Site

The RX170’s efforts are supported by Hitachi dumpers, which transport the heavy material removed from the top layer. Designed to carry large loads, these dumpers are vital to the mine’s material flow.

Payload Capacity: The Hitachi dumpers on-site can handle up to 200 tons of material per load, making them ideal for transporting the dense rock excavated by the RX170. This high payload capacity allows each dumper to carry significant material across the mine, minimizing the number of trips required.

Durable Construction: Built for rugged, off-highway conditions, these dumpers are designed to withstand the impacts and challenges of heavy loading. Their construction makes them suitable for managing tough terrain and handling the weight of rock material with ease.

Support Equipment: Caterpillar D9T and Wheel Dozer for Site Maintenance

To keep the loading area clear and functional, a Caterpillar D9T bulldozer and a wheel dozer operate continuously, managing debris and leveling the ground for the RX170 and Hitachi dumpers. These machines are essential for maintaining an efficient workflow.

Caterpillar D9T Bulldozer: With its powerful blade and pushing capabilities, the Caterpillar D9T clears rocks and debris from the loading area. This work is crucial for ensuring that the RX170 can operate without obstructions, loading trucks without interruption.

Wheel Dozer: The wheel dozer complements the D9T by smoothing and leveling the ground, creating an even surface for the dumpers to approach and leave the loading area. This keeps the site organized and allows the RX170 to maneuver without delays.

Wheel Bucket Excavators and the Electric Power Plant in the Background

In the distance, we see massive wheel bucket excavators working steadily to uncover lignite deposits. These machines operate continuously, moving softer lignite material in bulk and feeding it through conveyor belts to the power plant. The electric power plant, visible beyond the mine, underscores the scale of the operation, emphasizing the end goal of transforming mined lignite into energy.
