Description
The Komatsu 830E-5 is a 227-tonne class electric drive mining truck, built for hauling large volumes of material in mines and large open-pit operations. The designation 830E-5 refers to Komatsu’s 830E electric drive series, with -5 indicating the model generation.
It is powered by a Komatsu SDA16V160, a 16-cylinder diesel engine rated at 1,865 kW (2,500 hp) gross at 1,800 rpm. Nominal payload is 227 tonnes (250 short tons) and nominal gross vehicle weight is 408,875 kg, against an empty vehicle weight of 182,051 kg. Top speed is 64.5 km/h, and the standard body holds 158 m³ (SAE 2:1 heaped) or 119 m³ struck. See the full product information from the supplier and all Komatsu dump trucks at Hesselberg.
The diesel engine drives a GTA-51 alternator that feeds GEB36 wheel motors, controlled by the Invertex IIe AC system with IGBT inverters. Komatsu states that the system controls the rear wheel motors independently, giving good traction in wet and slippery conditions and improved tyre wear. Traction control for wheel spin and wheel slide and cruise control are part of the system. The electric dynamic retarder provides 3,207 kW (4,300 hp) of braking capacity on long descents. Cooling is split into separate circuits for the control group and the wheel motors, and energy from the retarder is used to cool the control group, wheel motors and grid blower.
The body is a Komatsu-designed all-welded steel body with a flat floor and full canopy. It is matched to the application through Komatsu’s Body Worksheet process, and the standard body weighs 29,830 kg. The frame uses steel castings in high-stress areas, and the hydraulic system uses a single tank shared by steering, braking and hoisting. The brakes are hydraulically actuated dry disc brakes, and the Hydrair II suspension is designed to give a smooth ride and protect the frame and components. The Payload Meter IV records data such as payload, cycle time and distance travelled, and the turning radius is 14 m.
The cab has an integral ROPS/FOPS Level 2 structure (ISO 3471 and 3449), air conditioning, a five-way adjustable air-suspension seat and a tilt and telescoping steering column. A touch-screen display in the cab gives access to setup, maintenance and troubleshooting. KOMTRAX Plus 2 is standard, and Komatsu states that the Eliminator oil filtration system reduces oil and filter changes by one third. Service points for lubrication, fluid filling and emergency shut-down are grouped at the front left, and the KomVision all-around monitoring system is available as an option.
If you are comparing with a smaller mining truck, the Komatsu 730E-10 has 1,492 kW (2,000 hp), a nominal payload of 186 tonnes and a 133 m³ body. The 830E-5 offers 227 tonnes of payload, a 158 m³ body and 4,300 hp of retarding capacity.
