Optima Dipper Systems: Breakthrough Loading Solutions

Optima(r) dippers, with nominal capacities of up to 120 tons, are tailored to your mine's conditions. A difference of as little as a fraction of a degree in the dipper's rake angle can make a significant difference in digging performance and the power consumed in the digging cycle. Xs-1567 Patented Adjustable Pitch Braces simplify the adjustment process with finetuning of +3 inches in either direction.

Optima Dipper Systems

Breakthrough Loading Solutions

A Breakthrough Approach T o Superior Dipper Performance


At P&H Mining Equipment Inc., designing world-class dippers for the mining industry has evolved from reinventing the wheel with each new dipper design to the science of scale modeling dippers. W e replicate mine pit conditions to test new concepts in the laboratory before they are brought to the pit.
To assure that your dipper investment provides the performance, cost targets, service life and reliability youve come to expect from P&H, we work with you as a team. Understanding your production goals, pit geometry and layout, truckloading methods and waiting times, drilling and blasting practices, and material characteristics are all essential to matching the dipper to your specic needs.

Pitch Braces

Mine-Matched Dippers
P&H Optima dippers, with nominal capacities of up to 120 tons, are tailored to your mines conditions for optimum digging and loading performance in your particular application. Standard features include a high strength-to-weight ratio for greater efficiency and enhanced geometry for fast, easy lling, easy dumping and optimum loads. With the latest Optima dippers, the corner radius of the lip is greatly increased to improve material ow into the dipper while at the same time working to eliminate material carry-back.The modied spade lip improves digging force at the center of the lip, and a low-prole bail design, or a bail-less design, optimizes dump height for even the largest haul trucks.With special attention to minimizing maintenance, Optima designs reduce corner loading and wear on the tooth adapters and heel band, thus providing extended pin and bushing lifea great example of the rugged durability of all P&H equipment.

A difference of as little as a fraction of a degree in the dippers rake angle can make a signicant difference in digging performance and the power consumed in the digging cycle. P&H exclusive and patented adjustable length pitch braces simplify the adjustment process with netuning of 3 inches in either direction, and with no cutting or welding required.

Hydraulic Snubber

P&H Snubrite Dual Series

The P&H Snubrite Dual Series system eliminates problems with maintenance-free performance and the reliability of hydraulic snubbing action. It also offers an average life of up to 10 times longer than friction disk or rubber band snubbers.Through the P&H Encore Plus component exchange program, the unit is restored to original specications approximately once every two years depending on usage.

TripRite Electronic
Door Trip System
For decades, dipper door latch tripping mechanisms have relied on a surge of torque to the trip rope delivered by a wound rotor motor and a bank of resistors.The P&H TripRite system smoothes the process with a digitally controlled ramp-up to the required torque.

Welding
Expertise
P&H is world renowned for its welding prociency and strong welding training program. For eld repair work such as dipper door rebuilds, wear liner installations and more, you can be condent with P&H MinePro welding servicesjust one of the reasons we say were your partners for life.

Ground Engaging Tools

To better understand the keys to improving dipper performance, P&H MinePro Services offers the 48-page publication, Peak Performance Practices for Dippers. Written for a broad audience, including mine XS-1755 managers, mechanics, operators, trainers and others, it discusses such topics as: Setting Up for Productive Digging; Operating Techniques; Ground Engaging Equipment; Maintenance; and more. Contact your local MinePro office.

Wire Rope
Wire rope is critical to dipper operation. P&H MinePro Services stocks premium quality wire rope and provides expert inspection, installation and maintenance services to maximize its working life and reduce costly downtime.

P&H OPTIMA Dipper Development: The Path to Maximum Performance


P&H engineers, working with our customers and scientists from third-party testing facilities, duplicate mine pit conditions in miniature, with a sophisticated device that is calibrated to measure payload forces as new dipper design models are put through vigorous exercises; all without downtime effecting personnel or actual machine. With scale modeling and meticulous calibration of specic individual mine site digging characteristics, P&H engineering teams explore a variety of design adaptations of selected dipper featuressuch as larger corner radii, alternative lip congurations, and sharper prole lip systemsas they develop the ideal congurations for real-life applications. Close monitoring and measuring over hundreds of cycles assist researchers and designers in determining precisely if expectations had indeed been proven in the miniaturized but identical mining conditions. From such results, further renements are applied to the scale model dipper until the desired results are achieved, all without the signicant cost of the typical trial and error approach of building a dipper and then seeing how well it performs. In scale model testing, the effectiveness of rened dipper designs versus standard dippers is consistently demonstrated by overall efficiency gains achieved through a combination of increased payloads, reduced dig time and less dig energy required to move the dipper through the material.
