P&H MINING EQUIPMENT has put its next-generation C-Series electric shovels to work in mines in Australia (two 4100XPC), Mexico (one 2800XPC) and the United States (four 4100XPC and one 2800XPC). The shovels are digging copper, gold, taconite and coal.

P&H says the C-Series feature the Centurion(TM) control system that co-ordinates and optimizes the many systems and subsystems that are found in the shovel. Mines using shovels with the Centurion system are enjoying better shovel performance including faster propel transfer, improved anti-swing in the bank, automatic boom soft set-down, and payload weighing systems. Faster cycle times and increased shovel reliability are two of the benefits.

The C-Series shovels include the 4100XPC, 4100C, 4100C-BOSS, 2800XPC and 2300XPC.
