*A Day in the Marble Quarry: Komatsu WA900 and WA800 Wheel Loaders in Action*
Today’s video takes us to a massive marble quarry in Pyrgoi, near Drama city in northern Greece. Known for producing some of the world’s finest marble, this quarry is a hub of industrial activity and impressive machinery. The star players in this operation are the Komatsu WA900 and WA800 wheel loaders, working tirelessly to load massive marble blocks onto Caterpillar 775E dumpers. The scale of the quarry and the equipment is a sight to behold, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of marble extraction and transportation.
*Komatsu WA900 and WA800 Wheel Loaders: Giants of the Quarry*
The Komatsu WA900 and WA800 wheel loaders are designed for heavy-duty operations like the marble quarrying we see in today’s video. These machines are tasked with lifting and loading enormous marble blocks, each weighing several tons, onto waiting dumpers. Their robust design, powerful engines, and high lift capacities make them indispensable in such a demanding environment.
Komatsu WA900 Specifications:
• Operating Weight: 108,000 kg (238,099 lbs), ensuring stability during heavy lifting tasks.
• Engine Power: 899 horsepower (671 kW), providing the strength needed to handle massive loads.
• Bucket Capacity: 13 cubic meters (17 cubic yards), ideal for moving large amounts of material.
• Breakout Force: 112,000 kg (246,917 lbs), enabling the loader to handle dense marble blocks effortlessly.
Komatsu WA800 Specifications:
• Operating Weight: 99,000 kg (218,258 lbs), slightly lighter but still incredibly powerful.
• Engine Power: 785 horsepower (585 kW), delivering reliable performance in demanding conditions.
• Bucket Capacity: 11 cubic meters (14 cubic yards), suitable for precise handling of marble blocks.
• Breakout Force: 96,000 kg (211,644 lbs), ensuring efficient material handling and transportation.
*The Caterpillar 775E Dumpers: Essential Haulers*
The Caterpillar 775E dumpers work in tandem with the Komatsu wheel loaders, transporting the marble blocks from the quarry floor to designated areas for further processing. Designed for off-road hauling, these dumpers are perfect for the rugged terrain of the quarry.
Key Features:
• Payload Capacity: 64 metric tons, making them capable of carrying multiple marble blocks in a single trip.
• Engine Power: Powered by a Cat 3412E engine, delivering 715 horsepower, ensuring smooth and efficient hauling.
• Durability: Built with reinforced frames and advanced suspension systems, the 775E dumpers can handle the weight and rough terrain with ease.
*The Marble Quarry: A Scene of Precision and Power*
The quarry in Pyrgoi is an extraordinary sight, with its vast expanse and towering marble formations. The Komatsu WA900 and WA800 wheel loaders dominate the scene, their sheer size and strength underscoring the magnitude of the operation. The Caterpillar 775E dumpers move back and forth in a steady rhythm, creating a seamless workflow that keeps the quarry productive.
• Loading Process: The wheel loaders carefully lift massive marble blocks and place them onto the dumpers with precision. Their powerful hydraulics and skilled operators ensure the blocks are handled without damage.
• Transportation: Once loaded, the dumpers transport the marble blocks to designated areas where they are evaluated and prepared for processing.
The efficiency and coordination between the machines and operators highlight the expertise required to manage such a large-scale operation.
*The Beauty and Engineering Behind Marble Extraction*
This quarry in Pyrgoi is more than just a site of industrial activity—it’s a place where natural beauty meets engineering excellence. The marble extracted here is known for its quality and elegance, making it a sought-after material in architecture and design worldwide. The machinery and techniques used in the quarry ensure that this valuable resource is extracted and handled with care.
