Open-pit Mining Conference Offers Solutions for Operators
In The Critical Link Between Loader Productivity, Operator Performance and Mining Costs, Andrew Jessett, CEO, MineWare will explore the critical link between loader productivity, operator performance and the overall cost of mining as far as: * How the performance of material loading assets-such as draglines, shovels and excavators-heavily influences the success of the downstream mining processes; * Why inefficiencies on the front end have dramatic repercussions to the overall value stream; and *Why the variation in performance between operators on loading equipment will continue to significantly affect the success factor for the whole load-andhaul process. Haulage Strategies In his presentation, Bringing New Life to DC Haul Trucks with an AC Retrofit Package, Ben Balbach, heavy industry and power systems manager, Flanders, will show how custom-designed AC wheel motors can be built into the DC motor frames and a high-performance liquid-cooled IGBT drive package can be dropped into the existing DC drive footprint. An extraction simulation operational planning tool with Excel input/output interface and automated reporting has been developed, validated and used as part of the short-range planning of a large-scale oil sands open pit operation in Canada. The simulation tool takes the mine production schedule as an input and imitates the truck-shovel haulage-systems and its interaction with the extraction plant including crushers and downstream assets. The mine blasting engineers use blast patterns in their short-range planning. [...]the energy input is changed based on the fragmentation analysis. In the day and age when productivity and reliability rule - mining equipment such...
