At Levelok, we focus on solutions that make mining safer, faster, and more efficient. This month, we’re spotlighting hydraulic power packs—the driving force behind many critical mining systems.
The Role of Hydraulic Power Packs
Mining equipment needs precision and strength to perform in tough conditions. Hydraulic power packs (HPUs) deliver the force required to control heavy machinery, making them essential to both underground and surface operations.
Skip Tipping: Speed Meets Control
One of the standout applications of our technology is in skip tipping mechanisms. Traditionally, mines have relied on camelback tipping paths, which slow down operations. Our modern alternative removes the camelback entirely by using an actuating guide section within the headgear.
- When the skip reaches the tipping position, hydraulic cylinders open the skip doors in under 8 seconds.
- The system can be operated both manually and automatically.
- Controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC), it delivers accuracy and reliability every cycle.
This innovation not only cuts discharge times but also boosts above-ground tonnage delivery, improving productivity while reducing operational complexity.
Tailored to Every Client
Each system can be configured to meet unique site requirements, ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure. By combining hydraulic precision with smart automation, Levelok helps mines achieve consistent performance and safer operations.
