Electric rope shovels: 4800XPC AC

Breakthrough design

Driven by the need to meet increasing production demands, mine owners have introduced ultra-class haul trucks to their operations. Meeting those production goals has remained a challenge due to the lack of an electric mining shovel on the market that can efficiently load large 360 mt (400 st) trucks – until now.

Komatsu Mining has been the electric mining shovel market share leader and a preferred equipment supplier to the world’s toughest mining environments for over 100 years. We have taken that mining application knowledge along with our engineering expertise and applied it to the development of a breakthrough design.

Built upon the proven performance of the P&H 4100XPC AC, the 4800XPC leverages new Adaptive Controls technology (patents pending) with optimized machine structures to enable its larger payload and increase efficiencies. The 4800XPC is designed to deliver:

• 122 mt (135 st) payload
• 3 pass load 360 mt (400 st) ultra-class haul trucks
• Up to 20% production increase over 4100XPC AC
• Up to a 10% decrease in cost per tonne

Specifications for 4800XPC AC

Overview
Inspired design. Powerful cutting force.

Built for tough environments, the 4800XPC ultra-class three-pass-loading-tool delivers consistent uptime and high cutting force. Engineered for increased digging power and faster cycle times, utilizing the latest mining technology.

• Double-sided loading of manned and autonomous fleets
• Three-pass loading
• Low cost per tonne loading

*Height shown with bail-type dipper. Heights will be greater with bail-less or compact-bail dippers. 
Actual dumping height can be greater than door clearance height.

*Payload and dipper capacity are dependent on many factors.

*Voltage per customer requirements.

Propel
Propel on demand provides rapid transfer to propel mode. Rapid transfers allow frequent positioning of the shovel to the bank resulting in faster cycle times and more efficient digging.

Two rugged P&H planetary gear cases of proven design independently transmit torque to the drive sprockets, producing the tractive effort required for fast, efficient propel and positioning operations.

P&H brand Delta drive low tension sprocket drive system with heavy duty cast crawler shoes.

Spring-set air release disc brakes – one per motor.

Crowd
Twin low inertia AC motors minimize shock loading and boom jacking.

Direct drive crowd eliminates belt maintenance for improved responsiveness.

Modular crowd motors with integral pinions provide for simplified motor replacement.

Two input pinions share load for extended life.

Dual spring-set air release brakes for reliable redundant operation.

Swing
Three modular P&H planetary gear cases of proven design and a single piece forged swing gear transmit torque for fast cycle times.

Spring-set air release disc brakes – one per motor.

Splash lube filtration system.

Adaptive controls technology
All gearing housed in single enclosed gear case with filtered oil circulation for reliable splash lubrication and ease of maintenance.

Large 68" diameter hoist drum for extended rope bending life. Ferrule becket system and dual electric tuggers are standard for efficient rope change.

Spring-set air release disc brakes – one per motor. Hoist rope fleeting sheave protects rope from excessive oscillation.

Hoist
All gearing housed in single enclosed gear case with filtered oil circulation for reliable splash lubrication and ease of maintenance.

Large 172.72 cm diameter hoist drum for extended rope bending life. Ferrule becket system and dual electric tuggers are standard for efficient rope change.

Spring-set air release disc brakes – one per motor.

Hoist rope fleeting sheave protects rope from excessive oscillation.
