Health & Safety - including Environmental Issues
particularly attractive solution as when the sharp edged stone has worn out the plates the individual 300x300mm modules may be quickly, cost-effectively and safely replaced. As the liners are made of dual hardness rubber, without any steel reinforcement, they are easily cut out and fully recyclable. Sandvik’s project manager for the site installation, Selim Sahin, explains: “Thanks to this patented modular system the base of the hopper is protected against cracks and deformation. It therefore retains its original shape, and the liner lip protects against fines infiltration between the gaps. In addition to those benefits, the service life is tripled. None of these features are achievable with conventional steel linings”.
Outlining some additional benefits to the neighbours of the quarry Moritz Iseke proudly states: “The quarry hosts the largest european eagle owl population in Europe. On average three owls per year are hatched at the Osterholz limestone quarry, and as the quarry operates only two shifts, these flying night hunters will be grateful to Sandvik for their peaceful rest during the day.”

Due to the success of the installation, the protection of the eagle owls and improvements in operational performance, Oetelshofen is now considering using Sandvik wear protection at the limestone quarry for all its future plans. Discussion are already ongoing at the site involving product and material testing, with new applications such as lining truck boxes or using ceramic / rubber wear protection liners. Sandvik looks forward to working with Oetelshofen in the coming years, to maximising production efficiency, but not at the expense of the locals whether human or eagle owl.
