The 4100C electric rope shovel, with a nominal payload of 81.6 mt (90 st), provides reliability and high productivity. The 4100C is an upgraded version of our popular 4100A shovel; most of the 4100A shovels sold in the last 25 years are still in operation today.

    Features and benefits

    The Argus Payload Monitoring System

    The Argus Payload Monitoring System

    The Argus Payload Monitoring System weighs each bucket in real-time, which helps eliminate the need to stop and calculate payload before loading the truck. Immediate feedback promotes loading accuracy, while peer benchmarking works to reinforce best practices to improve operator performance.

    ProVision Machine Guidance System

    ProVision Machine Guidance System

    The ProVision Machine Guidance System promotes increased operator efficiency and productivity through the use of high-precision global navigation satellite system (HP-GNSS) positioning. Capable of providing up to 1 cm accuracy, the ProVision System helps guide shovel operators to dig the right material, keep the designed bench grade, respect dig limits, and work within the machine’s prime operating specifications. The system also provides guidance to truck operators to help promote precise spotting at a loading unit.

    MineCare Maintenance Management System

    MineCare Maintenance Management System

    The MineCare Maintenance Management System combines the benefits of real-time remote equipment health monitoring with cloud computing technology and advanced analytics capabilities. The MineCare System promotes the advanced detection of issues before they occur, thus helping to reduce unplanned maintenance events, promoting increased uptime and utilisation and reduced maintenance costs and equipment degradation.

    • Electrical system features: The electrical drive system is comprised of a multi drive platform, sharing a common DC bus between the IGBT Supply Unit (ISU) and the motor drive Inverter Units (INU). The fully regenerative ISU controls the power flow to and from the shovel, maintaining a near unity power factor with extremely low harmonic content. The fully regenerative INU controls the power flow to and from the individual AC josmotors.

    • Electrical control features: Centurion supervisory controller provides direct integrated communication with motor drives giving precise motor control and fast cycle times. Real-time multi-tasking capability allows for optimal machine logic sequencing, monitoring and control. Centurion I/O system uses ‘Profibus’ communication protocol for seamless integration of all shovel subsystems and future expandability. Low-voltage 24V DC I/O drop points feature open and short circuit detection for improved diagnostics and troubleshooting. Centurion information system’s enhanced Graphical User Interface (GUI) features intuitive, icon-based screens to display vital information such as shovel status, troubleshooting information, and optional production monitoring data and operator feedback.
