Sandvik PE100 & PB100 in Hungary.mp4

This video shows the successful project execution of Sandvik´s world's largest compact bucket wheel excavator PE100, including a beltwagon PB100 for the Bükkábrány open pit mine in Hungary.
The new bucket wheel excavator with a total weight of around 1,650 tons has a 28-meter (92-foot) boom on which the 12-meter (40-foot) diameter bucket wheel is located. The power output of the bucket wheel alone, fitted with 16 buckets, is around 1,100 kilowatt - the entire power output of the machine amounts to 3,200 kilowatt. The entire unit (compact bucket wheel excavator including beltwagon) is designed to generate a conveying output of around 6,700 lcm/h (8,760 lcy/h) or an annual capacity of 12 million bank cubic meters (15.7 million bank cubic yards).

In July 2007, the Materials Handling business division of Sandvik Mining and Construction, was awarded a contract to supply these machines from Mátra Kraftwerk AG. Sandvik's cooperation and excellent business relationship with the customer go back many years. In 1986, Sandvik supplied the customer with three giant open pit mining units, a bucket wheel excavator, a beltwagon and a spreader; these units have been operating successfully for the last 20 years.

This project was of great significance to Sandvik Mining and Construction. It has enabled the company to take another important step into the European open pit mining sector and once again demonstrated its competence as one of the world's leading suppliers of open pit mining equipment.
