Download PR + Images Press Contact Wirtgen Surface Miners and Kleemann Crushing and Screening Plants High-performance equipment with a long service life is essential when mining mineral deposits and processing natural stone. The rugged surface miners from Wirtgen and the crushing and screening plants from Kleemann are extremely reliable and cost-efficient machines for a whole range of tasks in the mineral extraction and processing industry. The use of Wirtgen Surface Miners also reduces the amount of equipment, maintenance, and time spent for drilling and blasting or rip-and-stack mining. 220 SM(i) for Raw Material Extraction and Routing Operations With a cutting width of 2,2 m and a cutting depth of up to 300 mm, the new 220 SM(i) Surface Miner is an ideal choice for the selective extraction of minerals, routing operations and infrastructure projects. A particular highlight of the 220 SM(i), which offloads extracted minerals in windrows, is its spacious ROPS/FOPS operator’s cabin. It can be heated or air-conditioned, and is soundproofed and isolated from vibrations. An operator-friendly multifunctional joystick controls all key functions of the machine. Preview of the Successor to the 2500 SM Sales of a further surface miner are scheduled to begin at the turn of the year. The highlight features of the new 280 SM(i), the direct successor to the 2500 SM, include a slewable operator’s cabin. The industry-leading technological innovations of the 280 SM(i) work together to ensure high overall productivity and cost-efficiency. Product Line Expansion Wirtgen will be adding more new models to its range of surface miners. The first of these will be the 260 SX(i), which is not designed primarily for traditional mining applications, but also for use in large-scale infrastructure projects such as the construction of railroads, drainage canals, freeways and highways, and the enlargement of tunnels. MOBISCREEN MS EVO screening plants from Kleemann impress with high productivity, good transportability, and optimal screening results in even the most challenging open cast mining scenarios – as at this iron ore mine in India.
