Single-Sided Direct Drive Surface Miner

  • Weight: 68,040 kg – 92,986 kg
  • Fuel Type: Diesel
  • Power: 600 hp (447.4 kW)
  • Capacity: 53.3 cm (21 inches) cutting depth

Features

With the drive motor mounted directly to the cutter drum, it maximizes work efficiency and reduces wear costs associated with other types of transmissions. Hydraulic low-speed, high-torque motors on each side of the cutter head dish out more direct drive power for improved productivity.

Key Features

  • The Vermeer T1255III SEM with single-sided direct drive attachment allows the operator to cut an 80-degree high wall and produces less noise, dust and vibration – helping mines to increase production by excavating reserves they couldn’t otherwise get due to drill and blast restrictions, air quality regulations or urban encroachment.

On-board Dust Suppression System by Vermeer

Vermeer’s range of T1255 Terrain Leveler™ Surface Miners is compatible with the On-board Dust Suppression System by Vermeer. This additional feature is a must-have for all hard-rock and tunnelling job sites as it increases productivity and reduces overhead costs. The On-board Dust Suppression System by Vermeer:

  • Is hydraulically driven and features and left and right unit, which becomes part of the machine.
  • Reduces the need for an external power source or operator which in turn reduces the amount of diesel consumption, emissions and labour costs.
  • Uses a baghouse filtration system which requires minimal maintenance and will save time and costs.
  • Features superior manoeuvrability which means you can continue to work in confined or closed-in spaces.
  • Is also compatible with the T1255 Chain Drive Surface Miner which means you can use this system while cutting high walls.
