Field trip: site of mining and industrial machinery manufacturer SANDVIK-TYCHY

The students, as part of the course Modern and innovative machines and mining methods used in raw materials excavation, took part in a field activity to the plant of mining and industrial machinery manufacturer SANDVIK-TYCHY, which was founded in Sweden in 1862 and has been operating on the Polish market for 25 years.

During the trip, students had the opportunity to see the process of making mining machinery and its components. They saw what components for this type of machinery look like in real life, the steps performed during production and the assembly itself. The students also had the opportunity to enter selected machines and observe them up close.

In addition, the safety and organization of work in a production plant involved in the creation of large mining components is presented. The excursion was intended to complement the theoretical knowledge they gained in the course “Modern and innovative machines and mining methods used in raw materials excavation” with practical knowledge. The students had the opportunity to see in reality how these types of elements are produced and how unsafe they can be during production.
