Impulse SP2500G - the first underground brush

Technopark Impulse has supplied a front road brush with a dust suppression system Impulse SP2500G to the main employer in the Murmansk region JSC Apatit. The company produces apatite concentrate for phosphorus fertilizers.

The road sweeping brush is installed on a non-standard carrier for the construction and utility industry, the Scamec 2000s roof scaling machine.

The machine is designed for scaling the roofs and sides of the mine workings. It removes large fragments of rocks from the roof and walls of underground mine workings in order to prevent their possible spontaneous fall. The gearing of working equipment and a relatively low weight and impact energy of the used breaker, enables to work as safely as possible without collapse of a mine working arched vaults. In addition, the articulated frame and low dimensions make it possible to move in confined mine spaces. In fact, the only goal of Scamec 2000s is to create the safe working environment for mining operations protected from a stone fall.

For the average person, any open-pit machinery looks oddly. Only a few people have seen an open-pit excavator, dump truck or drilling rig with their own eyes. The chance to meet a carrier from this sphere is even lower, because the machine works underground and rises up to the surface only for repairs and maintenance. The chance to encounter such a carrier machine together with a utility brush is extremely low, even for experienced employees from subsurface mining industry.

The main function of the roof scaling machine was added with the municipal maintenance of underground highways by the specialized road service. Indeed, JSC Apatit has its own road maintenance service in the underground mines, whose functions include construction of safe concrete underground highways and their maintenance. Hence, even purely specialized equipment becomes versatile with Impulse attachments.

The company's service staff has installed, connected and put the equipment into operation.
