Direct Drive Surface Miner

  • Length: 12.7 m (with attachment)
  • Height: 5.1 m
  • Weight: 185,973 kg (tractor plus attachment)
  • Fuel Type: Diesel
  • Power: 1200 hp (895 kW)

Features

The T1655III dual tracks and low center of gravity allow for easy maneuverability and stability over the changing and diverse surface conditions.

Key Features

  • The patented tilt attachment tilts 5 degrees in either direction allowing for cutting to grade and a smooth pit floor.
  • Drive motors attached directly to the cutter drum improve efficiencies and reduces wear costs associated with chain, sprocket and belt transmissions.
  • Top-down cutting, as developed by Vermeer, allows the cutter teeth to gain penetration without using the machine’s tractive effort to drive the teeth into the material.
  • The cab, equipped with the TEC Plus operating system, allows the T1655 to communicate with the various control modules located throughout the machine. While the machine is performing, the air-ride suspension system on the cab provides a smooth, quiet ride for the operator in the typically harsh environment of a mining operation. It also features a filtered air system, dual self-contained cooling and heating systems, sound attenuating foam as well as dual air-ride suspension seats for the optimum operator and trainer comfort.
