These plants are designed in such a manner that they can be relocated through the use of transport crawlers and/or multi-wheel trailers. Having the flexibility to relocate the crushing plant enables travel distances for haulage trucks and belt conveyors to be optimized during the life of the mine - all with a view to providing increased efficiency and flexibility to the mine operator. Choosing the optimal crushing plant location is an essential criteria for the reduction in the number of haulage trucks required and increase in operational efficiency. ✅ In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) ✅ Capital and operational costs of an operation depend directly on the material transport system. Conventional truck haulage as today´s predominant means of material transport in surface mines are well established and provide excellent flexibility, however contribute up to 60% of the overall mining cost. Further to the potential operational expenditure (opex) reduction, IPCC systems also offer a number of other benefits to mining operations ranging from an increase in safety to reductions in dust, noise and greenhouse gas emissions, increased automation and bad weather downtime. ✅ IPCC represents a viable, safer and less fossil fuel dependent alternative, comprising fully-mobile, semi-mobile or stationary crushing stations connected to conveyors and spreaders (for waste) or stackers (for ore) to transport material out of the mine. ✔ For more information on what I do: https://lnkd.in/gw6bKKm ✔ Click on the hashtag to follow me for mining news and educational content: #MiningNewsByHooman 🔗All rights and credits reserved to the respective owner/s See source #miningengineering #mining #miningindustry #miningengineering #geologists #mineplanning #ingenieríaminera #minería
