In open pit quarry operations the loading of the blasted rock for transportation to the primary crusher house involves either power-shovels. Any size of primary crusher may be used for hand-loaded rock; it all depends upon how much secondary shooting, and hand sledging, the operator feels he can afford. So called "one …

The steam shovel began to change the entire picture of open-pit mining. With the steam shovel came the really 'huge' gyratory crusher, with its 457 mm receiving opening. The turn toward really large primary crushers started just a few years before the turn of the century,
Integrated continuous mining techniques such as fully mobile in-pit crusher and conveyor (FMIPCC) systems offer inherent labour, energy and environmental benefits to deep pit metalliferous mines.
In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) systems are receiving more attention today due to current characteristics of open-pit mining operations and what is expected to occur in the future. Today, it has become more necessary than ever to reduce the cost of truck haulage, which accounts for roughly half the operating costs of mining operation.
Cost efficiency and high reliability of In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) system make it more appealing to be used in deeper open-pit mining activities. Determination of the optimum time and location (OT–OL) for applying the IPCC system were always a challenge.

Open-pit metal mines are often shaped like an inverted cone, with the ore and overburden being drilled and blasted, then loaded and transported by shovel-and-truck systems. ... its new system for quasi-direct ore transport of ore and waste from the pit bottom or an intermediate level to a pit-rim crusher station. This system can then link in ...
We know that open-pit mining operations mainly include drilling, blasting, mining, transportation and dumping. Blasting is a very important part of it. Blasting costs account for 15% to 20% of the total cost of open pit mining. Moreover, the quality of blasting directly affects the working efficiency and total cost of the mining process.

In-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) systems are currently receiving more attention as a result of the existing characteristics of open-pit mining operations and what is likely to happen in the future. The use of trucks and shovels for loading and hauling has been used as a dominant system in open-pit and open-cast mines due to their large …
In open-pit mines, the traditional truck-based haulage system has consumed large amounts of energy in the haulage sector for many years. The use of continuous in-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) systems is a viable option to significantly reduce energy consumption in this sector.
The open pit accesses the Southern Oyu deposit, one of three deposits discovered at Oyu Tolgoi. Around 560 people work in 12-hour shifts with a production rate of 100,000 tonnes a day. Ore is removed from a series of benches which are linked to the top of the pit by a 40 metre wide trench road. Each truck transports around 290 tonnes of excavated soil and …
An open pit (opencast) mine can be described by a three-dimensional array of blocks, each of which is assigned a number of values defining its characteristics. ... [Show full abstract] pit crusher ...
Apart from the studies listed in Table 1, in one of the most recent studies, Menezes et al. (2022) presented an integrated short-term planning model for the open-pit mining operation where the ...
Traditionally, in open-pit mines, the ore has been predominantly mined by conventional mining systems, including shovels and trucks. However, with increasing operating costs associated with ...
A new conceptual mining method called the near-face stockpile (NFS), which combines the in-pit crushing and conveying IPCC system with a pre-crusher stockpile, has recently been proposed for large ...
The implementation of IPCC systems in hard rock operations in open pit mines however requires different and more comprehensive planning approaches in order to adequately reflect the practical aspects associated with these. ... in maintaining a limited truck haulage distance to an in-pit crusher, the initial pit depth is limited.

The IPCC system mainly consists of the crusher and conveyor located in an open pit. The crusher is used to grind large ore blocks, and then the ground ore blocks are delivered to the surface through the belt conveyor. With the deep-mining process of an open pit, the conveyor needs to be extended while the crusher needs to be relocated …

Mining of raw materials is a process that consists of several stages. In open-pit mining, material with high compressive strength is extracted by drilling and blasting and material with low compressive strength is extracted by e. g. a bucket wheel excavator. Most important influencing factors for crusher decision are compressive strength, moisture …
