In the area of opencast mining technology, FAM offers an impressive selection of various machines and systems, such as bucket wheel reclaimers for the extraction of mineral resources like lignite, hard coal, overburden, marl, etc. Opencast mining is a mining technique of extracting minerals from the near-surface layer of the earth, these raw materials can be then used for further processing, for example, in the production of metals or building materials. Our product portfolio ranges from mining equipment (e.g., excavators) to crushers, belt conveyors and subsequent stacking technology.

Capture, de-slime and dewater granular solids including construction aggregate, specialty sands, mine tailings, dredger slurry and more.

Site simulation, Volvo articulated haulers and excavators, and flexible financing from Volvo Financial Services play a pivotal role in a family-owned garnet mining business.

The new 75-ton EC750E excavator from Volvo boasts significant improvements to power, productivity and efficiency compared to its predecessor. It is equipped with the Volvo D16J 516-horsepower (392 kW), Tier 4 Final engine, providing an 11 percent increase in horsepower and 7 percent increase in digging force. Its 5 percent gain in fuel efficiency enables higher production at a lower cost per ton. A 4 percent boost in hydraulic flow is made possible by its new electro-hydraulic control system that reduces loss of flow and pressure for increased production.
