Result description
The ECHO project aims to commercialize a fully electrical, programmable breaker hammer (LEH), in order to address the fundamental limitations from hydraulic breaker hammers (HBHs), as well as fostering opportunities in regard to electric transformation, digitalization and data based business in the mining industry. This novel patented technological innovation is capable of interaction in a multi-hammer setting to boost the rock fragmentation process.
