Transportation costs are a significant part of capital and operating costs of large open pit mines. Cost efficiency and high reliability of in pit crushing and conveying systems compared to conventional truck-shovel system makes it more appealing to be utilized in modern mining activities. In this paper the suitable location of an in pit crusher is investigated as a single hub location problem....

Purpose is to substantiate the use of an in-pit crushing and conveying technology at open pits with complex structure working zone, which technological includes inclined steeply conveyors for improved economic efficiency mineral mining deep levels. Methods. The study applies a method including: technical-economical analysis practice enterprises, experience using units concentration plants pits;...

In-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) systems have drawn attention to the modern mining industry due numerous benefits than conventional truck-and-shovel systems. However, implementation of IPCC system can reduce flexibility introduce additional sequence requirements. This paper investigates long-term production scheduling crusher relocation plan open-pit mines using a semi-mobile high-angle con...

One of the most challenging aspects in semi-mobile in-pit crushing and conveying (SMIPCC) system design is determining optimum depth at which to change from a purely truck-based haulage conveyor-based system. We used scenario analysis determine transition between truck shovel (TS) SMIPCC Traditional pit-limit algorithms were generate final pit limit on copper deposit, was then divided into four...
