54 | ASIA Miner | Volume 13 • Issue 1 | 2016 Product News BUILDING on the robust and productive Cat 5110B, Caterpillar says the new 6015B Hydraulic Shovel delivers a productivity ad- vantage over other 100-tonne shovels thanks to the most powerful engine in its class, a large standard bucket and payload capacity of 14.6 tonnes. It states that the design translates to fast cycles and a pass match advantage when loading trucks of 55, 65 and 90 tonne capacities. The 6015B is equipped with a Cat C27 ACERT engine that provides 606kW of rated power. As with all hydraulic shovels the greater the engine power, the greater the digging power and the faster the digging cycles. The large, 8.1-cubic-metre standard bucket, outftted with Cat C70 hammerless GET, further boosts production capability. With the standard bucket, the 6015B is optimized to fll a Cat 773 truck in four passes, a 775 in fve passes and a 777 in seven passes. The 6015B is currently available only in a backhoe confguration. Cat says the 6015B is powerful and effcient. Caterpillar's proprietary integrated engine control technologies, a boom foat feature that re- generates boom oil for reduced engine demand, an oil cooling system that's independent of engine cooling and regeneration of swing energy via its closed-loop swing system all increase fuel effciency. Cat automatic fow proportioning technology creates more effcient hydraulic pump utilization, reduced energy losses and increased fuel savings. Exclusive Cat Proportional Priority Pressure Compensating technology ensures that hydraulic fow is proportional, according to demands, so individual functions - boom, stick, and bucket - are automatically prioritized during simultaneous operations. This aids smooth, effcient operation and controllability. Pressure and fow compensation deliver only as much fow as needed. The result is reduced heat build-up and component wear. The 6015B front is sturdy and strong, yet light enough to promote fast cycle times. The boom and stick utilize high strength steel and rugged castings that are joined and thermally stress relieved for op- timum structural life and resistance to impact and wear in diffcult digging conditions. Box section design provides superior rigidity and strength, and heavy duty castings are used in high load areas to add exceptional strength and durability. A newly designed hydraulic fltration system has been incorpo- rated into the 6015B. A separate kidney loop provides continuous fltration and optimum oil cleanliness at all times, ensuring consistent oil cleanliness for dependable hydraulic system performance. IN 2001 McLanahan Corporation acquired the equipment division of Linatex North America. Since then, McLanahan has assembled pumps and supplied spare parts for the original Linapump IIIr cen- trifugal slurry pump in the North American market. With a growing international presence, McLanahan now offers the newly developed McLanahan M3H rubber lined slurry pump for the global market. Re-engineered from the Linapump IIIr design and manufactured by McLanahan for improved quality, the McLanahan M3H pump is dimensionally identical and displays comparable hydraulic perfor- mance to its predecessor. Four gland options - hydrostatic, packed, mechanical and dry - combine with an extensive range of high quality, abrasion resistant wear parts, which are available in a variety of materials and hard- ness, to offer unprecedented levels of fexibility to suit your appli- cation. The McLanahan M3H has been designed so that components are interchangeable with existing Linapump IIIr pumps in all current plants and systems. Parts are readily available for all existing users of the Linapump IIIr design and are backed by McLanahan's re- nowned customer service and support. McLanahan Corporation manufactures safer, simpler and smarter equipment to help producers do more than ever in today's tough marketplace. From primary crushing to water management, McLa- nahan custom engineers process solutions to help operators be more effcient, more productive and more proftable. The Cat 6015B incorporates advanced Cat technology solutions, such as MineStar, VIMS and Product Link for improved productivity, maintenance and equipment management.
