Determining the optimal orientation of ultimate pits for …

For fully mobile in-pit crushing and conveying systems, a new ultimate pit limit determination method must be developed that includes the additional constraints of a straight wall for the pit exit conveyor and regularly flat pit floors. One of the major steps in the new method is determining the orientation of the straight wall.

Comparison of fixed and mobile in-pit crushing and …

In-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) systems (whether fixed, mobile, or semi-mobile) are an alternative to the traditional truck/shovel approach to materials handling, offering potential cost savings. However, assessing the viability of one of these systems for an existing or planned open-pit mine from an operational standpoint …

Energy consumption in open-pit mining operations relying …

Fixed in-pit crushing and conveying (FIPCC) systems: The crusher incorporated into this system is installed at a fixed location during the lifetime of the mine, with the system designed to decrease the haulage distance to the waste dump. These crushers are usually fixed either inside or outside the pit or close to the pit rim. 2.

Computer-Assisted Layout Of In-Pit Crushing/Conveying Systems

The in-pit placement of crushing and conveying equipment results in a flattening of the pit slope of a multiple-bench open pit mine. To maximize the economic benefit of lower haulage costs associated with in-pit conveying, one must minimize the cost of the flatter slope which is expressed in terms of additional stripping or tied up ore. A computer …

Ultimate pit limit determination for fully mobile in-pit crushing …

Fully-mobile in-pit crushing and conveying systems have different pit shape requirements to traditional truck haulage systems due to linear bench and flat floor constraints imposed by conveyor systems. As the shape of a pit is largely based on the ultimate pit limit, it is desirable to have the additional shape requirements of fully mobile …

"In-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) is a direct alternative to this approach," explains Russell. "It involves crushing ore and waste material in an open pit, and then using long conveyors – rather than trucks – to transport the material out of the mine to the processing plant and waste dumps." ... IPCC system at Vale's S11D mine ...

In Pit Crushing and Conveying Systems

The essential task of the in-pit crusher in a belt conveyor transport system is to reduce blasted material to a conveyable size. Crushers for this purpose are almost exclusively of the low crushing ratio type (up to 1 : 10), i.e. so- called primary or pre-crushers, designed as mobile or semi-mobile units.

Ultimate pit limit determination for semi mobile in-pit crushing …

The three types are fixed systems, semi-mobile systems and fully-mobile systems. A Fixed In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (FIPCC) system is characterised by the crushing unit being situated away from the mining face, usually around the crest of the pit. The crusher may be relocated, but they generally remain in one place for several years.

If the extracted material feeds into conveyors after passing through the crusher, the haulage system is termed a fully-mobile in-pit crushing and conveying (FMIPCC) system. Similarly, if the conveyor belt is fed by trucks, the haulage system is a semi-mobile in-pit crushing and conveying (SMIPCC) system (Frizzell and Martin, 1992).
