Gebr. Eickhoff Maschinenfabrik u. Eisengieberei GmbH products

The new specialist: This new machine concept, representing the latest addition to the shearer loader portfolio, is based on the proven principle of high power density combined with reliability and user-friendliness in control and maintenance that has been inherent to Eickhoff products for many decades and enables today‘s miners to extract even the thinnest seam thicknesses in a cost-effective manner.

Highest power density in the smallest of space: The Eickhoff SL 300 has been firmly established in the international market for over 20 years now. Designed as a mining machine for thin to medium-thick seams, it was upgraded time and time again with the latest innovations over the years. Its original cutter motor power was 2x220 kW, combined with 2x35 kW DC haulages. Thanks to its consistent further development, its power could meanwhile be increased to 2x480 kW for the cutter motors and to 2x90 kW for the AC haulage motors.

One of the outstanding examples of German engineering: The Eickhoff SL 500 has been a steady peak performer in the international hard coal mining industry for nearly two decades. Introduced to the mining world in 1994, the SL 500 was originally designed with a total installed power of 1,130 kW. Nowadays, it comes with an impressive 2,015 kW and is thus ideally suited also for today‘s most demanding underground conditions. Owing to its constantly high availability, the Eickhoff SL 500 has earned a worldwide reputation as a ‚real workhorse‘.

Also the Eickhoff continuous miner portfolio sets itself high standards: Customers from the mining industry expect a functioning technology without compromise – and Eickhoff Mining Technology supplies the appropriate mining machines for the most demanding coal and potash mining applications all around the globe.

The next leap in evolution: With the new SL 900 shearer loader, Eickhoff increases the production rates up to the absolute maximum. This high-performance mining machine combines the compact dimensions of the SL 750 with the staggering power of the SL 1000. Thanks to the implementation of state-of-the-art design and production techniques, a machine with impressive properties could be developed and constructed. As a result, the Eickhoff SL 900 excels by high flexibility in varying seam thicknesses ranging from 2.4 to 6.0 m – and all that along with an installed total power of more than 2,500 kW.

Eickhoff’s technical expertise and experience in the wind turbine gearbox sector has been playing a part in the development of innovative and efficient wind power concepts for our customers throughout the last 20 years. As a key element in the drive train, our high-performance, high-quality gearboxes, optimised for production and cost-savings, are impressive due to their maximum robustness, maximum reliability, long service life and extremely compact design. They are designed to suit the customer’s specification and the respective requirements exactly with a high power density.
