Scoop Designed for Low-vein Operations
Fairchild International says its 35C-LV-AC
Low-Vein AC VFD battery-powered scoop is
ideal for seam heights of 36–48 in.
(914–1,219 mm). Safety features of the
scoop include grade speed control and load
capacity stability for safer operation on
slopes and pitching seams; reduced need
for battery change-outs; reduced need for
battery maintenance and watering, reducing
exposure to battery acid; brushless motors
and programmable speed and torque to
match operator experience and mine environment.
Performance improvements
include higher speed and torque throughout
an entire battery charge cycle; superior
creep speed capability for improved operator
control; constant tram speeds regardless of
grade and bucket load; and larger-diameter
drive lines and universal joints to withstand
higher speeds and increased torque. The
scoop’s motor is equipped with an encoder
that allows for a soft tram start, while the
motor’s significantly lower drive temperature
improves the performance of electrical components
due to lower heat generation. All
programming and troubleshooting can be
done on a diagnostic readout mounted in
the operator’s compartment, eliminating the
need for a hand-held data programmer. And,
the machine’s dynamic braking capability
reduces wear on cables and motors, as well
as the drive system.
