equipment. The purpose of equipment selection is to select equipment that can operate optimally. Equipment selection is one of the most important aspects of open pit design. Mining costis mainly affected by the number and capacity of equipment. Equipment selection for open-pit mines is a major
Keywords : hydraulic backhoe, open-pit mining, effective productivity, thickness of the layer Introduction At present, hydraulic excavators take an important place in the range of extracting and loading equipment for coal open pit mines (Tyulenev et al., 2017). Replacing traditional rope shovels, hydraulic excavators impose

In open pit mining, loading equipment is matched with haul trucks that can be loaded in 3–5 cycles of the shovel. Many factors determine the preference of loading equipment. For example, with a hard digging rock, tracked shovels are more advisable.

Electric rock loader is a loading machinery walking on the track rock with single bucket, loading before and unloading after. Its purpose is to load the rock or ore avalanched to the mine car. It contains a wide range of materials, such as gold, non-ferrous metals, black metals, non-metallic minerals and rocks, etc.

Materials extracted from quarry or open pit and open cast mines are often handled with conventional system of trucks and shovels, which typically constitutes 50-55% of total cost of mining
7 Loading and Hauling Equipment: Selection Issues (cont.) • Open-pit loading equipment is usually matched with haul trucks that can be loaded in four to six passes • The choice of loading unit is dependent on total production requirements, the minimum number of active work areas, ore selectivity, and blending requirements • Additional factors to be considered are the type of material to
equipment, which may include a mining loader, shovel or excavator. Loaders lift the ore or waste material onto the trucks for removal from the mine. In an open-pit mine, loader types can include electric rope, hydraulic excavators including backhoe excavators, and front-end loaders (also called wheel loaders) (Er˘celebi and K rmanl , 2000).
It is assumed that the cost of mining ore is the same as that of mining waste. The cost of mining comprises drilling, blasting, Ioading and hauling, (in addition the cost of crushing). The cost of open pit mining can be assessed using the total ore and waste (T) mined daily (Table 1).
Efficient equipment utilization and accurate estimation is very important in open-pit mine. In such operations, materials handling system is composed of loading, hauling and dumping. Shovel-truck systems are most common inopen - pit mining, involving any combination of loading units and trucks. This paper
equipment is an important factor in the profitability and that shovel-truck systems are the most common in open pit mining. The aim of developing a model was to maximize productivity and hence increase production, which in turn will result in cost reduction and increased profitability. At Ruashi Mining ADTs do not arrive at the shovel at
Blast mining: Blast mining uses explosives to loosen rocks and open mining spaces, especially to remove hard rock from both underground or surface mines. 10 Types of Heavy Equipment Used in Mining To understand the available options you have for machinery, here is a list of mining equipment used for surface or underground mining operations

Open-pit mining equipment Open pit mining is an industrial activity that involves the removal of large quantities of soil and subsoil, which is then processed to extract the mineral. This mineral may be present in very low concentrations, in relation to the amount of material removed.

Shovels are used in open pit mining as primary loading equipment. Their performance and production controls the total output of operation. Therefore any production loss in shovel causes an increase in total production cost. Therefore the trend for those equipments require that the manager consider every possibility

Optimization of the loading and hauling fleet at Mamatwan open pit mine Mining Mamatwan Mine is a conventional opencast operation in that the overburden is removed to uncover the manganese orebody using a truck and shovel fleet. The orebody is then drilled and blasted (Van Antwerpen (2004.) Removal of the overburden is done in stages, where the
