In-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) systems have attracted more interest among miners as an alternative to the conventional truck-shovel transportation system. The semi-mobile IPCC (SMIPCC) system is a well-suited type of IPCC system in open-pit mining projects because of its relocation nature.

In the production process of open-pit mines, transportation costs account for 45–60% of the total cost. Therefore, a reasonable and economic transportation system can effectively improve production efficiency. In this article, optimization of the layout of the fixed crushing station in the in-pit crusher and conveyor system of open-pit mining is …

This paper tries to model the production and operating cost uncertainties associated with the in-pit crusher location by using the stochastic facility location model.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the application of fully mobile plants for raw peat crushing, mixing and separating of wood inclusions and for mechanical dewatering in peat open-pit mines ...

Optimum location and relocation plan of semi-mobile in-pit crushing and conveying systems in open-pit mines by transportation problem

As an energy-intense sector, the mining industry is more dependent on fossil fuel energy than others. To date, Truck-Shovel (TS) systems are still the dominant open-pit mining haulage system, while In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) has become an option to overcome long-distance transport in deep open pit mines.

Cost-efficient Transport for Open-pit Mines. Open-pit metal mines are often shaped like an inverted cone, with the ore and overburden being drilled and blasted, then loaded and transported by shovel-and-truck systems. Mine trucks that weigh between 106 and 260 tons, and carry payloads from 136 to as much as 400 tons, transport these materials ...

The present paper provides a theoretical basis for determining the capital investment and annual operating costs for four alternative schemes of conveyor exit from within the open-pit mines. Indeed, the basis is developed to allow cost analysis of the alternative schemes for different depths of open-pit mines.

In-pit crushing and conveying is an alternative transport system which requires a higher initial investment but gives substantial savings in operating costs. An evaluation of the all truck system versus the in-pit crushing and conveying system has been performed by means of a simulation of both transport systems in the same mine model.

This article presents cost models for open pit mines, which takes into account cost uncertainty. In this paper, cost uncertainty is …

Complete pit-to-plant coverage means market-leading solutions throughout the mining process chain, as well as knowledge and optimised practices that can deliver new possibilities for you to improve productivity and lower costs.

Cost efficiency and high reliability of In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) system make it more appealing to be used in deeper open-pit mining activities.

The feasibility study of the cyclical-and-continuous method with mobile crushing-and-rehandling units and high-angle conveyors in the Kostomuksha open pit mine is carried out. The relative capital and operating costs are evaluated for different conveying angles in an open pit mine 100 and 600 m deep.

For aggregate mines, where production rates are lower than metal mines, cost savings are in the 20-25% range over a 10 to 15-year mine life, including operational and capital costs.

In-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) systems are currently receiving more attention as a result of the existing characteristics of open-pit mining operations and what is likely to happen in the future.

High performance drilling is key to successful open-pit mining, with two principal areas of operation: blasthole drilling, and drilling presplit holes that help to enhance pit wall stability.

In the production process of open-pit mines, transportation costs account for 45–60% of the total cost and a reasonable and economic transportation system can effectively improve production efficiency.

Optimally planned In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) systems could resolve the transportation challenges of open-pit mining operations.

In most open-pit mines, material haulage costs can comprise over 50% of the total mining costs. This portion can even increase as the future mining conditions will become more challenging.

For example, according to the performed considerations on haulage system renovation in Whaleback Iron Open Pit Mine, any benefit from the semi-mobile crusher system along with the belt conveyor and truck may cause a reduction in haulage costs up to 52 %, in comparison with the separate truck system.

However, operation costs are lower when considering the decrease of fuel use and also maintenance expenses. This paper presents an economic analysis of a mine-to-crusher model to estimate and minimize the operating expenses of an open-pit iron mine located in northern Brazil.

The cost of transporting rock mass increases by 20-30% on average for every 100 m of depth in deep pits. The share of these costs reaches 70% or more of field development total cost [3] [4]...
