THUNDERBOLT MAGNUM 1000

The THUNDERBOLT MAGNUM 1000 is the industry’s most productive recoilless hammer yet. Its impressive, accelerated strike rate and high velocity rapid fire is proven to shorten the critical knock-in phase during mill relines. The THUNDERBOLT MAGNUM 1000’s versatile productivity will excel in a wide range of environments and deliver increased mill availability through fast, reliable and safe relines.

Benefits

  • Precision engineered for unrivalled longevity, reliability and performance in the industry
  • Reduced servicing intervals and lifecycle costs
  • Improved component accessibility for ease of maintenance
  • Optimised asset health with intelligent on-board monitoring
  • Unsurpassed operator safety with advanced new shock reduction and ergonomics
  • Hammer productivity consistently high which means reduced knock-in duration, faster relines and increased mill availability

Features

  • New operator-programmable ‘MAGNUM Mode’ for precision safety and more granular control
  • High-energy blow impact at 1000 joules per blow in MAGNUM Mode (33% increase) and 750 joules in standard mode*
  • Consistent, electronically-controlled rapid fire rate of 140 blows per minute (BPM) in MAGNUM Mode (55% increase) and 160 BPM (77% increase) in standard mode*
  • Extended service intervals at 100,000 blows (150% increase)*
  • Groundbreaking recoil dry fire shock reduction (90% decrease) minimises machine stress and operator fatigue*
  • Removable casing for easier component accessibility and superior repairability
  • Electronically-managed dual-action contact trigger safety mechanism eliminates risk of accidental firing
  • Redesigned hydraulic systems for improved operational safety and use
  • Integrates with the new THUNDERBOLT MAGNUM Power Pack, which is also interchangeable between the THUNDERBOLT MAGNUM 1000 and 2000 models

*Compared to the THUNDERBOLT 750 Special Performance Recoilless Hammer

Applications

  • Excels in a wide range of mill applications and high wear relines of small, medium and large SAG mills by offering quantifiable time-saving gains to Customers
  • Combines a powerful rapid fire rate with intelligent, cutting-edge technology for consistently fast, reliable, safe relines
  • RME stands ready to guide Customers through the THUNDERBOLT selection process for their mill requirements

 

Engineering Whitepaper

At our Unmissable Webinar series, 'The Knock-in Effect', RME presented commercial outcomes that can be achieved from the new THUNDERBOLT MAGNUM Hammer range. Our Engineers shared the results of a MILL RELINE DIRECTOR (MRD) study undertaken by RME, which investigated the impact of the THUNDERBOLT MAGNUM Recoilless Hammers’ increased strike energy and firing rate on the knock-in phase during worn liner removal.

To underpin the webinar series, RME Engineers produced a 10-page whitepaper which summarises the results from the MRD study including the potential to achieve significant annual reline time reductions of up to 44 hours* or more through optimal use and configuration of THUNDERBOLT MAGNUM Hammers. 

This whitepaper addresses:

  • The 'Knock-in Effect' highlighting optimal Hammer configurations relevant to different mill sizes and types
  • Mill scenario modelling with benefits defined for high wear and full scope relines of mid and large mills
  • Modelling outcomes for typical and difficult reline conditions on one or both sides of the mill

"With an unwavering rapid fire rate of up to 160 blows per minute, and up to 1000 joules per blow, the THUNDERBOLT MAGNUM 1000 outperforms every other general-purpose liner bolt removal tool when it comes to knock-in work rate, speed and safety."
