Precision for a 55-year-old stacker and reloader in the USA

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

This project shows how innovation, experience and partnership-based cooperation can set new standards even with 55-year-old technology.
