Crushing plant for Mordovcement

FAM crushing plant FPB 1320.20 on crawlers, Russia
In the recent past FAM has not only supplied the complete opencast mining equipment to OAO Mordovcement, but also two crushing plants on crawlers.
However, in the meantime a third mobile FAM crushing plant of type FPB 1320.20 enriches the system for overburden and chalk handling in the reconstructed Wankinskij opencast mine in the Russian Republic of Mordovia.
The mobile crushing plant developed by FAM specifically for this opencast mine has a capacity of 1600 m³/h.

Gearbox inspection with endoscopy

The method of non-destructive testing with the help of an endoscopic camera is increasingly applied to inspect gearing parts.
Gearbox endoscopy for a power plant project in Germany
This visual inspection of gearbox areas that are difficult to reach can be performed without dismantling the drive components. For the service specialist it is a low-cost and time saving method to analyze a system‘s current state. The results can be used to decide about any further measures to be taken.

FAM specialists have applied this method and evaluated the results at gearbox inspections in the scope of an E.ON power plant project.
