Engine cooling solutions for underground loaders

Ungerground loaders are developed for the toughest of applications, with overall production economy, safety and reliability in mind. With FEA-optimised frames, powerful prime movers, advanced drive train technology, four-wheel drive, articulated steering and ergonomic controls, they are extremely rugged, highly maneuverable and exceptionally productive with tramming capacities from 1 to 25 metric tons.

CBM Radiators was called upon to design engine cooling systems for the Sandvik ED7 and ED10 range of underground loaders used in the coal mining industry in Australia and overseas.

The package had to meet emission standards and have high efficiency, whilst meeting space restrictions.
CBM Radiators engine cooling package for the Sandvik loader includes the radiator, fan and oil cooler, as well as guarding for these products.

Due to the confined spaces and corrosive environments underground loaders operate in, the radiator cores are manufactured with high efficiency, multi-louvred, copper finned cores, solder coated and treated with copon blue.

With supply to Sandvik for the past five years, CBM Radiators cooling packages are proven in meeting the engine cooling performance requirements, whilst enduring the rigours of the working environments.
