Coal Recovery Auger
Manufacturing
Maximum coal recovery -
that's the goal of every highwall mining operation. While many factors contribute to
this objective, one of the most important is the equipment used in the recovery process.
Successful highwall mining depends on coal augers that deliver efficient,
high-capacity coal recovery. BryDet's coal recovery augers cut larger diameter holes
with deeper penetrations than any other auger in the world. Using engines up to 2000
horsepower and cutting heads up to 72" diameter, BryDet's augers have the capability
of drilling to depths of 650 feet. For the kind of augering capacity that produces
maximum recovery rates, the solution is BryDet Development.

BryDet's Model
2348-72 Auger
Diameter = 48" to 72"
Horsepower = Up to 1300 hp
3 Speed Powershift Transmission
Advanced Hydraulic Controls |
BryDet's
augers feature a "powershift" transmission that solves the drawbacks of
mechanical transmission designs. The powershift transmission uses hydraulic clutches
and a torque converter for "cushioned" starts that protect the drive
train. Because gear changes are made in the cab, operator safety is increased.

Unlike fixed
displacement systems that build up heat and waste fuel by "pumping and dumping"
excess oil, BryDet's "load-sensing" hydraulic system produces the exact amount
of hydraulic oil required for maximum operating efficiency and economy. With the
load-sensing system, variable volume pumps actually "sense" how much oil is
required. |
With BryDet's vast
capabilities, we can design and build the right auger for you!
 |
Not only can we build your
auger, but BryDet also provides the support equipment to give you the complete augering
"package". Elevating conveyors, cutting heads, side mounted conveyors and
more are available. |
