Precision for a 55-year-old stacker reclaimer in the USA

It is projects like this that demonstrate what true engineering excellence means.
DIAMANT had the opportunity to assist with the replacement of the swivel track on a 55-year-old stacker reclaimer at Cleveland Cliffs in Burns Harbor (USA). An impressive piece of engineering history with a total diagonal of 9.2 metres.

Our tried-and-tested MM1018 levelling compound – The Liquid-Shim® was used here. As a load-bearing levelling compound, MM1018 ensures a force-fit connection between uneven surfaces and precisely compensates for unpredictable gaps. The perfect basis for maximum stability and durability.

Strong collaboration with ALPINE:
A big thank you to the team at ALPINE Bulk Materials Handling, with whom we carried out the project on site. It was a very good collaboration, from the technical coordination to the implementation in Burns Harbour!

Special challenge:
During assembly, it became apparent that the gap was significantly larger than originally assumed. Thanks to the high flowability and load-bearing capacity of our MM1018 – The Liquid Shim®, this unforeseen deviation was also reliably compensated for.
