Excavator
Every pass of a bucket full of coal, iron ore or copper ore requires an excavator that can endure the high duty cycle that loading has on the equipment and its engine. Cummins proven performance in engine durability for high-load-factor applications makes it the power of choice for hydraulic mining excavators. Whether in single or dual installations, Cummins economical QSK19 through the robust QSK60 are ideal engines for powering loading applications. Every hour of the day, a mine can depend on the reliability of its Cummins engine to power its excavators and ensure the highest productivity.
Drills
The dirty work required before employing trucks and excavators at a mine is accomplished by drilling rigs. These units benefit from the mobile power supplied by diesel engines. The high power output from their engines drives the critical compressor and pump components needed to move the unit and drill the holes. Finding a reliable engine that has been proven in difficult mining environments is essential. Cummins has a long history and a lineup of engines proven to be ready to meet the needs of any drilling unit. With cost-per-hour advantages over other options, Cummins engines meet and exceed the drills’ durability requirements.
