A dragline excavator is a piece of heavy equipment used in civil engineering and surface mining. Draglines fall into two broad categories: those that are based on standard, lifting cranes, and the heavy units which have to be built onsite. Most crawler cranes, with an added winch drum on the front, can act as a dragline. These units are designed to be dismantled and transported over the road on flatbed
CAE Mining and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) have pushed the technology further by incorporating 3D imaging technologies in a Camera that can be used in open pit and underground mining areas to capture threedimensional images of the environment and topography, eliminating the need for geologists, engineers and surveyors to physically visit the mine.
02/07/2010#0183;#32;A locally designed and manufactured safety system, adapted for open pit mining applications and which could save the mining industry tens of millions of rand, is about to be launched on the South African market. Plans are already underway to introduce this system, known simply as intelligent safety system, or collision avoidance system, in other parts of sub Saran Africa and
Description. Stressed steel cables, similar to those used in prestressed concrete, have been used for rock mass reinforcement, in civil engineering, for many years. This type of reinforcement has been attempted for open pit wall support, on several occasions, but has never gained wide acceptance as a practical approach because of high cost and complexity of installation in a mining environment.
In mining areas these are commonly used for drilling large diameter holes in mechanised quarries. Flushing of the hole with compressed air instead of by water under pressure is the common practice with this type of bit. Rock roller bits can be used for deep hole drilling with speed and are suitable for mostly vertical downward holes. III.
21/12/2015#0183;#32;Blasting equipment is used for both underground and open pit mining operations and is known to be one of the most hazardous aspects of the job. For mining operations to be successful good blast designs are absolutely vital as poor practices and excessive explosives can result in damage to rock structures causing unwanted caving.
however, for largescale open pit mining in particular, the truck and loaderquot; material movement practice is the preferred method of materials handling (Czaplicki, 1992; Ta et al., 2005). Throughout this paper, we consider a loaderquot; to be any type of high productivity excavating equipment, which may include a mining loader, shovel or excavator.
Open pit mines. For an open pit, a spiral hole is dug and 2 to 15meter benches are formed. These will be dynamited to extract the ore. Then ore is loaded using diggers and transported to a concentrator by huge trucks that can carry hundreds of tons of ore at a time.
31/07/2019#0183;#32;Inpit belt conveyors are used to move material within a large, active mining pit area or from the pit to loading areas for further distribution within the mine. Inpit conveyors may also move mined material to portable crushing systems that reduce
Surface Mining Methods and Equipment
02/09/2017#0183;#32;Equipment Used for Mining. The dragline is a type of surface mining equipment that ranks among the worlds largest machines. It is used in open pit mining to move huge loads of surface soil in order to expose the minerals underneath. Coal mining employs surface and underground methods to extract coal. A number Giant machines are used to remove the top layers of soil and rock to expose
