| bauma 2007 for the mining machinery industry  The world´s biggest international trade fair for machinery for the building and construction, building-materials and mining industries takes place at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre from 23 to 29 April 2007. This event, organised by Messe München GmbH, will take up over 500,000 m² of indoor and outdoor exhibition space. The last bauma in 2004 attracted 2,801 exhibitors from 47 countries. 416,000 trade visitors came to bauma in Munich in 2004.Following 2004, the mining machinery industry is again going to present a comprehensive overview of machines and systems. Approx. one-fifth of the almost 3,000 exhibitors from throughout the work will round the comprehensive offer with their mining equipment at bauma 2007. Many of the companies active worldwide play an important role both in the construction industry, mainly in tunnel and road construction, and in mining. The mining sector will also show the complete product range of the mining industry for various methods in open-pit and underground mining. Modern electronic monitoring and computer-supported control units, high advancing power and the fast adaptation to different geologic conditions characterize the development in selective cut heading machines and continuous miners. Not all machines work independently such as surface miners or bucket wheel excavators in open-pit mining. Integration in existing or planned processes is often required in underground mining. According to a well known manufacturer, the integration of a rolling loader, for example, in a face system requires a lot of effort to align the controls, data transfer and other parameters precisely. According to VDMA, the production of German mining and processing technology has increased by 38% since 2002. The export business is mainly responsible for this positive trend, where German technology faces strong competition with international suppliers. There is sufficient capital for capacity expansions and renewing existing technology, which will be show at bauma 2007 in Munich from 23 to 29 April. Not only China, the second most important export country of manufacturers following Russia, is reporting increasing energy needs, but also countries with large populations such as India, Indonesia and Vietnam. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
