43 AGGREGATES MANAGER December 2015 TOP ROLLOUTS VERMEER DRILL FEATURES DIGITAL DISPLAY Vermeer upgrades its D100x140 Navigator horizontal directional drill with a Tier 4 Final engine and additional features. The D100x140 S3 features a 275-horsepower Cat diesel engine that provides 100,000 pounds of thrust/pullback and 14,000 foot-pounds of rotational torque, plus increased rotational speed of 203 rpm. It is also available with the InSite asset management system, which delivers data across multiple platforms. In addition, the DigiTrak Aurora touch-screen interface pro- vides real-time location information and enhances the operator's abil- ity to monitor drill performance. It has two Firestrick drill rod options: 15 feet or 20 feet. Stackable rod boxes with a single-pin design and patent-pending auto-lock allow an additional rod to be loaded from an upper rod box.

Following several years of design, research, and testing, Weir says the unit has been demonstrated to last four times longer in solids handling services when compared and tested with the Floway verti- cal turbine pump bearing assembly. The patented bearing design allows for continuous operation in services with a maximum solid content of 10 percent by weight and excursions of 20 percent by weight during tem- porary upset conditions.

Combined with the new Torque Parallell linkage, the machine is said to have improved fuel efficiency without any drop in performance. The wheel loader is also equipped with a counter shaft transmission that can withstand high stress levels. Volvo's TP linkage geometry, along with its bucket design, is said to provide excellent bucket roll-back angles that increase material retention in the bucket and keep the load closer to the front axle for increased stability. The loader has the Human Machine Interface system inside that keeps the operator up-to-date on machine information. Volvo's online telematics monitory system, CareTrack, lets the fleet manager get a real-time look at important machine information.
