A glimpse of Shirur Dolomite Mines using Volvo’s Telematic System. We are absolutely satisfied with Volvo CE’s performance and ability to deliver and are delighted with the machine’s fuel efficiency - Santosh S Melligere, Partner | Shirur Dolomite Mines (SDM)
Proving it’s mettle in the world it operates in, Shirur Dolomite Mines (SDM), has been in the business of mining for over 16 years. Operating its own mechanised dolomite - which is a double carbonate of Magnesium and Calcium - in Shirur Village, the company has contributed immensely to two major industries of the country; one being the steel industry where Dolomite is used as a flux and the other in the glass industry.
Fulfilling the raw material needs required by the steel and glass industry through its expertise, SDM has time and again, excelled with its offerings and services across two major industries and in two states - Karnataka and it’s immediate neighbour Tamilnadu.
Being in a business where rock-solid challenges are part of the daily life, SDM, on an average day, unearths 700 tonnes per day. More so, the unearthing begins only after the rock is exploded using dynamite and then crushed into different sizes and shapes. Making it easy for those around to begin the next process.
Shirur Dolomite Mines uses the Volvo 210B Prime, which the company believes has been performing to the hilt for the last three and a half years. Yes, the time since it was brought to the mine. Talking about the machine and its performance, Mr. Santosh S Melligere, Partner says “We are absolutely satisfied with Volvo CE’s performance and ability to deliver and are delighted with the machine’s fuel efficiency”.
