OREANDA-NEWS. October 3, 2011. In September 2011, the Vostochno-Beyskiy open-pit mine operated by the Chernogorsk subsidiary of SUEK put into commission the bulldozer Liebherr PR 764 and the excavator Komatsu PC 3000. Overall, about 175m roubles were invested in purchasing the equipment.

"Miners of the Vostochno-Beyskiy open-pit mine have had good professional practice with imported machines and will certainly be able to make the full use of this up-to-date equipment," says Alexey Keelin, the managing director of the Chernogorsk subsidiary of SUEK.

The new Komatsu PC 3000 excavator is equipped with a 15 m3 bucket; its expected monthly capacity is 390,000 to 450,000 tonnes of rock.
