Poclain Powers China’s First Roll Cutter Rock Roadheader

Poclain has made a noteworthy contribution to China's mining capacities by equipping the first roll cutter rock roadheader, used in mining for non-ferrous metals, with Poclain's hydraulic low-speed, high-torque motors. The roadheader is especially advanced because it does not have traditional gearboxes, or speed reducers, as these components are often articles with mechanical crudeness. This direct drive system offers advantages in many ways, primarily reducing unnecessary mechanical complexity and enhancing efficiency and maintenance needs, especially problems during work in complex mining situations. The deployment of hydraulic bundled system from Poclain is a critical milestone in achieving smarter and more sustainable operations in the mining areas in China.
